Summary
Oddly specific AUs serve the double purpose of immersion into an area of experience perhaps previously unfamiliar to the reader and that of marvelling at the fact you can place a character in any context and figure out how they'd dance around.
The purpose of this study is to expand the scope of dirkjake by a slight but non negligible margin with one such specific AU, as well as a few rare friendship matchups of interest to the author.

Bookmarker's Notes
Post-canon 2nd chance in byler college fic. Mike writes Will postcards and they see each other again after 2 years at Jopper's wedding.
I loved the recollections of moments in their past, Mike confiding in Nancy, and Mike's insecurities were devastating (literally made me cry when he was explaining himself to Nancy).
Also in the beginning: I love how Mike hasn't seen Will in 2 years but his every moment in Boston is infused with thinking of Will.
Reminder to read more epistolary stuff. -

Summary
Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.
“I have an idea,” says Mike.
Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”
“No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”
“Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.
Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.
Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.
“Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”
“As your date."

Byler fake dating until Jopper’s wedding
It’s got dnd metaphors galore, gay-chicken misunderstandings that would be funny if they weren’t devastating. The physical intimacy is remarkably well written.
