Title: On the Second Draft
Author: spotlightonmringenue

Pairing: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon
Rating: Explicit [🌶️]
Word Count: 11,198
Summary: Dear Bill, I know I shut you down pretty quick when you asked about my writing. To tell the truth, I’m nervous to share this, simply because my only practice has been non-fiction work, but I found the time to type up and refine the first chapter of the story I’m trying to find within myself. You’re a busy man, and I dare not ask the highly successful William Denbrough for feedback, but I could tell you were sincere in your praise and might enjoy getting to read more. Thanks for being my first fan ;) Love, Mike

Recommendation: I liked this story and enjoyed it enough that I would like to share it with you.

Title: Darken a Thousand Doors
Author: SheWhoWalksUnseen
Canon: IT
Pairing: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon
Rating: Not Rated
Word Count: 13,612
Summary: Mike Hanlon hadn't been anywhere outside Derry, Maine in forty years. It was long overdue, and frankly, maybe it was time to let someone else do the waiting for him. Or, five phone calls made and one personal call at the end of taking your time.

Recommendation: Comment Hiatus ~ A partial hiatus in that I'll post a rec but I won't do the write up because I'm really behind and real life is getting in my way.

Title: Suddenly You're Mine
Author: camerasparring
Canon: IT
Pairing: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 13,373
Summary: “Are you kidding? Mikey here has been reading your stuff for ages.” Bill whirls back to Mike with a wide smile, and Mike’s heart flutters against his ribs. Okay, maybe that was true. And maybe Mike insisted on putting up the display of Bill’s books first when they opened the bookshop, before anything else. And maybe it wasn’t actually because it would draw in more customers, like he told Stan. And maybe sometimes Mike likes to linger a little too long on the “about the author” page when he finishes one of Bill’s books, because his pictures always come out so nice and for some reason he takes a new one every single time. “Is that right?” Bill asks, giddy. Mike’s already had his fair share of blushing for the day and it’s barely three o’clock. - Or: A Notting Hill-esque Hanbrough AU.

Title: A Number I've Already Passed
Author: ellaisall
Canon: IT
Pairing: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 5,589
Summary: When he sees Bill in the water, several yards out, Mike isn’t surprised. Bill’s a ghost now, sure, why wouldn’t he be? Mike isn’t surprised by anything anymore. He has learned his life is doomed to be one of torment. Or, in the aftermath of Chapter Two, Eddie and Stan live. Bill doesn’t.

Recommendation: Comment Hiatus ~ A partial hiatus in that I'll post a rec but I won't do the write up because I'm really behind and real life is getting in my way.

Title: You Can't Always Get What You Want
Author: coffeeandcheesecake
Canon: IT
Pairing: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 12,405
Summary: The worst phone call of Mike’s life comes on a Friday, and it isn’t even to his phone. Based on the movie The Big Chill. A phone call from Patty Uris brings all of the Losers to Atlanta, where drama ensues. Richie is ignoring Eddie, Eddie brings an unexpected guest, Stan processes his loneliness, and Mike sees it all, holding his love for Bill close and quiet. Everything comes to the surface.

Podfic & Cover Art I made based on camerasparring's “Out of Your Depth”.

Fandom: IT Chapter 2 Pairing: Bill Denbrough x Mike Hanlon

Rated: Explicit Format: MP3 & Streaming Length: 00:55:04

Bill turns his chair back to the desk.

I want your hands on me, he types. He shoves his hands under his armpits, staving them away.

No. Yes.

I want them everywhere, all the time. Wetting on my lips, against my tongue. Pressing and spreading and holding at my thighs. Wrapped around me. God, I want your hands.

Or: Bill writes two letters for Mike: one a touch more, uh, explicit. Too bad he gives him the wrong one. Yes, exactly like Atonement.

Summary: Bill turns his chair back to the desk. 'I want your hands on me, he types. He shoves his hands under his armpits, staving them away.' No. Yes. 'I want them everywhere, all the time. Wetting on my lips, against my tongue. Pressing and spreading and holding at my thighs. Wrapped around me. God, I want your hands.' - Or: Bill writes two letters for Mike: one a touch more, uh, explicit. Too bad he gives him the wrong one. Yes, exactly like Atonement.

Recommendation: There is nothing wrong with a good old fashioned "delivered the wrong letter" trope. And, oh em goodness, Billiam writes some hot, hot stuff. Mike certainly thinks so, and so do I.

Title: I'm Coming Out of My Cage

Author: collieflower

Canon: It

Pairing: Bill Denbrough/Mike Hanlon

Rating: General [G]

Word Count: 1,383

Summary: Three days later, when their business in New York was done and they were back in sunny Florida, Bev sent the group text, an article link included. It was a carousel of photos on a tabloid sight under a big block header telling of "Author William Denbrough Seen Kissing Another Man In NYC." There was little in the article, just the existence of the photos, a short backstory on Bill and of course his divorce — and an admittance of the publishers having no idea who this new lover of Bills's was. Richie thought this was hilarious.

Recommendation: I love this adorable version of "outed by the paps" done with warmth and fun, no angst here.

Summary: Bill and Mike are best men at the wedding of Eddie and Richie. Post-Canon. Fluff.
