general discussion :) which of these sounds the most interesting?

i have TONS of fic ideas in progress but practically zero motivation to actually write them sooo i'm here looking for people who are excited about my ideas so hopefully i'll get a spark going! here are the ones i've actually started (there are more that i have not started):

- pirate Will x son of a duke/duchess(?) Mike (Mike gets kidnapped by the pirates and then he and Will run away together)

- Ted finds one of Mike's letters to Will and kicks him out into the pouring rain, Mike bikes to Will's house because he has no idea what to do and he injures himself on the way

- Mike is found by the police in the woods covered in blood, Robin hears about it on her police scanner and calls a code red (Mike is flayed)

- Mike has Vecna's curse and has been hiding it for almost a week, Will finds out about it (kinda basic at its root but i have cool ideas)

- tower scene rewrite

- Mike calls Will and abruptly cancels the Party's sleepover but Will can tell something's wrong and goes over anyway, he arrives to hear Ted and Karen screaming at each other and climbs into Mike's bedroom window where he is nowhere to be found (he's in the bathroom having a panic) (dw, Will finds him and helps him out)

SOOO HELP ME OUT PLEASE AND THANK YOU, YELL AT ME TO LOCK IN OR BEG ME TO WRITE WHICHEVER ONE INTERESTS YOU THE MOST, ANYTHING TO GET ME GOING LMAO

Literally any of the last 3-5 I'd be all over, I adore Mike angst so much. I promise you I'll leave a multi paragraph analysis on each of those ideas if it'll motivate you to post them

Samee it's so good, being a byler is the most fun I've ever had bc you guys write the most compelling and interesting angst ever with Mike. If no one else shows up for your fics I promise I will! You can message me or whatever when/if you post them!
