   Summary

   Mike overhears Will coming-out to Joyce and crashes out. He hides away, taking a good hard look at himself and what he could’ve had. A gentle conversation with El makes him realise he needs to stop being an idiot and go get his boy.

   On the night before their final, world-ending fight, Mike finally confesses. They just have to survive long enough to see where it goes.

   See notes for warnings. Angst with a super fluffy ending.
