Summary
When the Rogues move back into the tower, Tony asks Peter to play nice. Avoid them when he can, and when he can't, put on a smile and pretend he doesn't hate them. Peter thought he was doing pretty good.
But when the Rogues get tired of never catching Tony alone and decide to ambush him, Peter finds that he can't hold his tongue.

Summary
Will frowned. "No one blames you for that Mike. Grief is weird. I know I still feel bad that I couldn't help her. I mean, obviously I couldn't be a sorcerer anymore, but El... she was like my sister. And I helped her, sure, in the final fight against Vecna, but I never really... could be there for her. And you? No offense, Mike, but what could you have done?"
"Nothing,” Mike spat, feeling a little sick to admit it. “Nothing, I know that. Just... I don't mean guilt like that. It was her choice... and maybe she did escape. I don't know. But I'm not guilty about that. I don't think I've been dishonest about that."
"Then... what are you guilty about?"
Staring at Will, Mike let himself believe that he wasn't too late, even as he feared so deeply he was.
"For not loving her."

or: a retelling of the final epilogue scene where Will and Mike being the last ones out of the basement actually means something and Mike actually listens to Hopper's speech through the lense of the Byler and internalized homophobia subtext
(title from "Velvet Ring" by Big Thief, but this isn't really a songfic or anything.) -

Summary
“You want me to draw you…making out with my sister.”
Mike’s face burns red and he practically yelps, “No! I- who said anything about making out?! It’s just a…a normal kiss.” Jesus Christ, he should’ve known that this wouldn’t go well. But what did Will expect? It was the story they’d agreed to tell – the story exactly how it had actually happened. “It’s just part of the story.”
“Alright,” Will responds, leaning back in his desk chair as he twiddles a pencil between his fingers, “but are you like, into it?”
“I-” Mike starts. His boyfriend raises an expectant eyebrow. From the bed on the opposite side of the room, El herself gives him a look. They’re both waiting. Mike nearly blanches. “This is a trap.”
