WILL AND MAX SKETCHES

[cleradinthealps]

max mike and will are like if boygenius was girlidiot

[starsarefire824]

the madcleradin dancing seen in demons of change & wildflower eyes goes CRAZY holy shit

AAAAHHH!!! 🙈🙈🙈🙈

I am glad that you liked it! That was a dynamic I haven't really written for, and I was very excited about it! I really loved the idea of Will just letting go and enjoying the moment, and being inside his body and not inside his head. And Max and Mike were a safe and receptive place in that moment to do that with. Sometimes, I think anyway, for introverts, to kind of let loose like that every now and again can be very therapeutic.

And also, Max knew what's up lmao. She was definitely helping our boys out! (While also having a good time herself. 😆 )

Anyways, it was a fun time and I think CCR's "I Put A Spell on You" was the perfect vibe for it.

I'm excited to explore some interesting dynamics with this one that I haven't before, and some more unique interactions. I'm kind of just letting it flow more than some of my other fics, and it definitely has some more adult themes that I've maybe been wanting to explore with these specific characters, but haven't had a chance or felt like it was the right time. Either way, this version of Mike and Will is very dear to me and I'm so glad you've liked reading it! Thanks so much for dropping this in my inbox. It's probably my most obscure fic so it's fun when I find other people who are liking it! <333333

furthering my madcleradin girlidiot agenda by stating that max is phoebe coded, will is lucy coded, and mike is julien coded

[bikewheelerz]

JANKANSKM HELLO?????

i can die happy now this is amazing

you’re an incredible writer and i love how accurately you portrayed their dynamic (even though will hardly got screen time with max in canon)

so excited to see what the gang is up to in the next chapter <333

Chasing Pasts in Shadows

or the madcleradin paranormal investigators au i had to write

Will had a really bad feeling about this.

"Wheeler, are you sure this is the right address?" Max asked from the backseat, her voice a strange mix of amusement and exasperation.

"You saw the google maps, I saw the google maps, there's no way this is the wrong place," Mike said, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. "I mean, unless google lied to us,"

"Wouldn't be the first time," Max grumbled.

"We should go talk with Mr Reyes," Will interrupted their imminent squabble session. "I know he said his house was big, but this is kind of ridiculous."

Ridiculous was a gross understatement. Mr Reyes had called their little company a few days ago, asking them to have a look around because he felt some disturbance in and around his 'cottage'. This 'cottage' was a mansion bordering on a manor. Afternoon sun hit the stone perfectly, making them glow and glitter; the shade and light somehow complemented the bursting gardens of mauve pansies and chrome daffodils and bright bougainvillaea. Will could see ivy crawling up the side of the house, while grapevines curled up and around the thick fencing. His hands twitched to paint the sight.

Focus on the task, William. He shook himself out of the reverie to see Mike and Max get out of their car, which was held together by the mechanical prowess of El and the engineer genius, Dustin. Mike got in the trunk of the car to pull out their regular equipment, while Max stalked the perimeter, looking for something Will never understood. She claimed she could feel 'energies', traces of paranormal activity. That was the only time Mike agreed with her, talking about some 'vibrations' and temperature, and  2 years of animosity over El evaporated just like that.

Will took out his phone to look over the information Dustin gathered when Mike cursed quietly.

This wasn't unusual in itself, Mike talked to himself a lot, when doing anything technical or investigation related, it helped him keep track of stuff he's doing. Will loved hearing his occasional little remarks about the tripod being an inconsiderate asshole or the wires being unnecessarily difficult, it made Will's day. Then again Will loved everything about Mike Wheeler, his sarcasm, his insistence that aliens existed, the curl above his right eyebrow, his eyes that seemed to contain depths of thoughts inconceivable-

Will had to get his huge crush on Mike under control.

"Mike? Is everything alright?" Will turned around, finding Mike frowning at a regular camera.

Mike shook his head. "I'm sure it's nothing," He trailed off, "Max! Get your ass here!" He yelled to Max who was doing something on the far side of the fence.

"What's up, Wheeler?"

Mike looked a little troubled, but he quickly smoothed out his features. "You remember how Dustin and I meticulously recharged every battery last night? It's dead now. I was trying to click a picture of the house- It isn't turning on,"

Max took the camera, inspecting every part of it. "Are you sure you put it in correctly? Plus to plus and all?"

Mike bristled, "Of course I did, I was in the AV club, Mayfield. I thought you might sense something,"

"Do you?"

Mike hesitated a little, "No."

Will was getting concerned. "Max, can you check the rest of the stuff? I have to go through the questions and the information Dustin found for us. Mike, come with me for a sec," Will dragged Mike away by his wrist, putting some distance between them and the exceptionally sharp ears of Max. "Mike? You good? You know you can tell me anything, right? Even if I don't understand what you are talking about, I'm still here for you," Mike frowned as if he didn't quite believe Will.

"Yeah, I think I'm okay. I just thought,” Mike hesitated, fiddling with the string of his ‘Mother Mother’ hoodie.

“You can tell me, Mike. It’s okay,” Wil could see the tension on Mike’s face. He wanted to smooth the wrinkles on his forehead. He didn't.

“It’s weird. I know Dustin and I charged the devices yesterday. It shouldn’t be dead. Dustin even joked about using those things for 48 hours straight,” Mike pulled at the hair curling around his ear. “I’d say this was something paranormal and spooky, but there was nothing to sense, no fields or vibrations or whatever. It was as if the battery died after being used. Plus our phones still work, so whatever it is, it is targeting our equipment specifically. And our equipment doesn't use any wireless networks to operate, so this cannot be from any overhead disrupter.”

Will silently marvelled at the stuff Mike had deduced within minutes. “We’ll fix it, Mike.”

“You’d know you wouldn’t have to if you hung around for half a second more instead of running off to flirt,” Max barged in, holding the camera, beeping the “20% battery left” message.

Will sputtered, as Mike did the same.

“It’s not like that!”

“Mayfield, shut up!”

Max looked at them, with an expression that read ‘are you fucking kidding me’. “Are you fucking kidding me?”

“How long have you been eavesdropping?!” Mike said, affronted by the notion.

“Don’t get your pants in a twist, I just heard something about wireless networks, chill,” Max sniffed. “Can we go meet the old dude now or you both want to take another millennium to confess your undying love for each other?”

“Yeah, let's go.” Will awkwardly walked to the huge kissing gate, pushing it open and power walking in, just to avoid Max’s obnoxious remarks. He hadn't seen the questions to ask or the briefing Dustin had sent, but nothing could go wrong this early, right?

poor, naive will.

ive already written more of it, i just decided to post it scene by scene bc it'll be more frequently updated. this isn't betad at all so lemme know if anyone finds any mistakes or typos (be gentle please this is my first time writing fanfic)

this is set in 2022, so modern au bc i don't have enough knowledge about ghost hunting in 90's america and the party doing gen z things is too chaotic to pass up. they just have Instagram and tiktok, but no yt channel.

Will is kind of their leader and one of the two active investigators but they all have their own tasks to do.

El is a hardware mechanic and social media manager with lucas

Dustin manages the software stuff and their research (Will helps with the research)

Mike is the heart the other active investigator and he can feel paranormal activity and traces ie a dowsing rod for that stuff (based on that scene where mike reaches for el when she's using her powers to see him in s2)

Max is the on-site technician and always on camera duty . Also a dowsing rod for paranormal activity.

Lucas manages their social media and appearance and takes clients (mike and max help to check their authenticity) and plans their entire schedule bc they are still students and time is precious

lumax are together

they operate out of mike's garage

i think that's all the bg info i can remember for now

inspired by/ based on @dis-a-ppointment 's moodboard and @aeilus 's art

@swordsandskeletons thank you for hyping me up and being generally excited for this💞💞

the next part should be up 20 April 2023 at 1800 IST. come scream at me if i forget 🙂
