Summary
Happy 'Taylor owns all of her old album masters' week for all who celebrate.
High School AU: Mike and Harvey live next door. Harvey is a jock, Mike is a nerd, and Mike is hardcore pining after his best friend, who's too infatuated with his toxic relationship with Scottie to notice him.
[Scottie would never know Harvey’s story like Mike did. She didn’t know that Harvey blasted music to drown out his parents’ fighting. She didn’t know that Harvey would climb through Mike’s window when his dad was out of town and his mom had her “friend” Bobby over.
She didn’t see the look on his face when Harvey would put his head in his hands, trying to decide whether or not to tell his dad that his mom was a cheating homewrecker.
Mike would sit with Harvey while he silently stewed, occasionally lacing their fingers together and soothing him with his thumb. Harvey never stopped him. He would lean into the touch and thank Mike with his eyes.
They never talked about it.]
Part 9 of my "Our Song(s)" series of one-shots based on Taylor Swift songs. Lyrics are woven throughout, but you don't need to be a fan to read it. This one is based on "You Belong With Me" in honor of Taylor owning her OG masters.

Summary
“Stop looking at him!” someone told Mike. Mike turned his head from where Will sat, the jock, to Max, the mad woman. “What’s your business, anyway?” grumbled Mike.
It was not a surprise anymore to his (two) friends that he had a big, fat crush on the brunette jock, Will Byers. Mike had laid his eyes on Will since the first time the Byers walked into the class.

Summary
“My expertise. Allow me to introduce you to the world of The Changeling by Victor LaValle.” Will grins, walking around the counter and grabbing Mike’s hand, dragging him to the fantasy section. Mike fights off the urge to super-glue his and Will’s hands together so they’ll never have to let go, because Mike hates a lot of feelings, like ceramic, or wool sweaters, but one feeling he will never get sick of is Will’s soft yet calloused hands in his.

Mike Wheeler is interested in many things, and with many interests comes a need to learn. What better way to learn than a bookstore with a cute clerk?

Summary
El Hopper wanted a “normal” life, but being a Princess - the only heir to the throne - didn't exactly give much opportunity for that. With her royal advisor (and best friend) Maxine, she was able to try and get a small glimpse of that regular life when she goes undercover as a "regular student" at an American university.
Things go well until she meets Mike, a biology major trying to become a doctor. They don't get along at first, and they make each other's lives hell.But maybe they can put aside their differences in order to help one another. Mike shows El how to live a normal life, and El shows Mike how to loosen up, enjoy himself instead of working himself to death.

Can he rise to the occasion and win the heart of the punk rocker from a life so very different from his own? Or will she retreat to the chaos of the city that was once her home?
