Summary
“You’ve been waiting for me, haven’t you?” says Mike.
Even though he knows they’re just pretending, Will feels a dull pang in his chest at the truth of those words. He nods and whimpers in affirmation; vulnerable, a little sad.
“Good.” Mike kisses him on the forehead. “I’ve been waiting for you too, you know.”
Will has a hang-up. Mike indulges him.

This is, maybe, less than ideal, but he’s still fully functional. Really, he is.

Summary
Street-kid Jason gets caught stealing from a mob boss' office and is irrevocably veered toward his new, shadowed destiny as instrument to Bruce Wayne’s will.
The deeper he's drawn in, the harder it becomes to ignore the ghost of the boy who came before him. Piecing together the fate of his predecessor means reckoning with his own — all while facing the tormented past he's been trying to outrun.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
“You’re not listening to me, Mike,” he huffs. His gaze doesn’t translate annoyance, though.
Mike grabs Will’s hand again, “I’m sorry, baby, just,” he lets out a shaky breath. “You’re so pretty.”
“You and your love-pleading eyes,” Will smiles, getting more warm in the face, “I bet you don’t even know what I was saying.”
Mike bites his lower lip, guilty as charged. He tries to remember by doing what he was doing before: looking at his beloved’s lips.
“I don’t,” he whispers, not realizing that he has leaned in. “Tell me again.”
“You won’t listen,” Will murmurs back, not backing away. “And—I forgot, you made me forget.”
