Summary
“You’re good at taking care of people,” he said quietly, “you always were.”
Mike swallowed. “Just you.”
He turned — eyes hazy, but the expression in them too sharp to be just drunk. For a second, neither of them moved. The air between them shifted, charged again.
“You’ve really changed, Mike.”
“Good or bad?” he asked, though a part of him already knew the answer wouldn’t satisfy him.
“Just… different.”or
Mike and Will see each other again after some years, the weight of everything left unsaid becomes clear to both.

Summary
The party has made their decision. They were going to face vecna. Some would have to stay back due to complaints such as Lucas and Nancy not wanting their siblings to fight and Dustin still has his ankle broken from the impact as he followed Eddie into the upside down. Joyce and Argyle would stay back to look out for them as the others will fight.
But Mike is not willing to let Will go and things escalate. -

Summary
“Mike?” Will asked cautiously. As he approached, Mike snapped his head up to look at him, and Will's stomach dropped when he saw the painting Mike was clutching in his hands.
“What– What are you doing?” Will asked.
Mike stared back at him for a moment. “Thinking,” he said distantly. -

Summary
Post season 4, vaguely pre-season 5. Things fall apart, to say the least. After everything, the party's not really a party anymore. Mike wants to fix it, but he doesn't know how.
Mike's POV, lots of emotions, I tried writing in the present tense which I don't normally do. There's byler, there's an el-initiated milkvan breakup, there's the party (sans max unfortunately) being friends. Hypothetically this could take place between seasons, but I'm certain there'll be something in season 5 that makes that impossible.

Summary
Will hurriedly took a drink, but his eyes never left Murray.
“You’re the kind to break your own heart in order for those you love to be happy,” Murray added. “You work hard, you pour your everything into those around you, into what you love, until there’s nothing left for you. Nothing left to give yourself.”
Mike snapped. “Alright, old man, that’s enough!”
“Don’t even get me started on you,” Murray interrupted Mike, making him jerk back slightly. “You think you should live that life, you think that’s the ideal, normal, safe life, but really… you’re lying to yourself. You wanna fit in, you wanna be normal, but really, you know you’re far from it, and you can’t accept it because it means losing that safety and having to face the reality.”-
Or the one where Murray reads Will and Mike like open books, all while taking care not to accidentally force them to reveal anything they aren't ready to. After all, he was never given the option.

Summary
A collection of loosely connected stories on a post-canon, canon divergent timeline following Will and Mike over the years in their queer journey. As they move away from Hawkins and settle in Chicago, they finally find a community there, in at least one way they can be significantly safer while they heal from their significant trauma.
The series spans from living in Hawkins still as young adults to finding their new and independent queer life in Chicago in their 20s, and beyond. A queer focused study of intimacy, sexuality, kink, and other things.

Summary
"Mike’s thoughts are racing but really, there is only one thought that’s floating around his brain, a thousand iterations of the same thought swirling around and around: Will tried to kiss me. More than once. I almost let him."
or: Will gets doped up on pain meds after Dustin accidentally hits him with a board, and Mike is being normal. He is.
