Summary
Dearest Gentle Reader,
Did you miss me? The Ton’s early spring reprieve has come to a quiet end and, though it is certainly long overdue, it is high time for my return. The haven of the countryside could only conceal you for so long, after all. I must say, you have a thrilling season to come if the rumors are as fruitful as they appear.
The marriage mart will be in full swing, starting the night of the spring equinox with the first ball hosted by former Viscountess Dowager Wheeler. It is sure to be a thrilling evening indeed. A masquerade, if you can believe it, will be the very thing we need to lead us into a season of mystique and tension. How could one pass the opportune event to disguise oneself and be bolder for it?
Or;
An alternate universe in which the party is subjected to their very own season of high society. Mike does not wish to marry. Dustin wants someone to understand him. Lucas craves entertainment. Will hopes for love. Jane wishes to be free. Max wants her independence.
They all need each other; it's just a matter of figuring out how. After all, love certainly does work in mysterious ways.

Summary
Will is a young gay man committed to Lazarus by his father. Traumatized and alone, he's assigned to Cell 44—right next to Cell 45, where Mike lives. Mike is infamous: violent, isolated, feared by patients and staff alike.
Through late night conversations, Will learns fragments of Mike—his sharp wit, his cruelty, his unexpected tenderness. Mike teaches Will to breathe through panic attacks after his traumatic conversion therapy sessions. But Mike also pushes Will away, warning him to stay distant, insisting nothing good comes from getting close to him. A psychological tension between horror and attraction, exploring whether a monster can be capable of tenderness—and whether Will's inability to fear Mike makes him brave, broken, or both.Bookmarked by Knb_1228

Summary
It all started with a game of ‘Never Have I Ever.’
Mike and Will find themselves quiet as their friends put their fingers down when the questions of sexual experience come up.
Later that night, Mike approaches Will with a risky proposition. "What if we practiced together? Just for experience, so we don't feel so behind when we get to college."
Will, surprised but intrigued, agrees to Mike's plan. What starts as a strict arrangement for ‘practice’ slowly turns into something more meaningful as the two childhood friends explore intimacy together throughout the summer, discovering not only physical desire but the surprising connection they share.

Summary
Will choked on air, the oxygen punched from his lungs. "What??"
"I can help you." Mike repeated. "I could teach you how to blow someone. I've had it done to me before, I know what feels good. I can show you how to do it on an object, or something. To help you practice."

Summary
Two years after his husband’s death, Mike Wheeler lives quietly in a cliffside mansion with his eight year old daughter and more ghosts than he knows what to do with. He doesn’t talk about the past.
Will Byers isn’t looking for love when he takes the live-in cook job at Rosecliff Manor. He's just trying to start over in a new town, with a new job and with the walls carefully built around his heart.
Living under the same roof wasn’t supposed to mean anything.
But grief recognizes grief.
And sometimes healing looks a lot like falling in love.
