Summary
The impossible happened: Will asked Mike to be his boyfriend. Even stranger? Mike said yes.
That's how it started. A letter, an accidental confession, a Saturday afternoon. And that? That was the easy part.
Now, what they do - what they are - is secret. Because if anyone finds out... they don't even want to imagine. Lonnie would kill them both on sight. Mike's parents would send him away to some boarding school. They'd never see each other again. They'd be marked forever. Everything would come crashing down around them.
But they try not to focus on that. They're busy, after all, trying to navigate this new relationship. Kisses, dates, prom, couples' quarrels. And in the meantime, Will has a problem on his hands; a power he needs to learn to control, before it blows up in his face.
It's a crazy end to their school year - but there's more going on behind the scenes than they realize.(This is a sequel to The Red Envelope but you don't necessarily have to have read TRE; this can be read on its own should you wish :) )

Summary
After Will had shown his amazing ability that he suddenly had. He had stood up before my very own eyes as I thought it was over for me as the demogorgon got closer to me, as I closed my eyes I didn't feel the impact of the demogorgon’s sharp claws digging into my very own flesh. I looked up cautiously and saw the demogorgon had frozen instead. It screeched in pain and I looked behind it to see who or what had saved me from the fate I was soon to have faced. Will was standing there holding out his hand like Eleven.
His hand was outstretched as he raised another hand and then higher. He then lifted his arms high above his head and broke every bone in the demogorgon’s body, like vecna does with his victims. Will is not even a bad person like Vecna, and he never would be.
I know this much that my Will is not in any way associated with that asshole fuckface of a monster. He is his own person who can make his own decisions and his decision was to crack this monster's bones right in front of my own two eyes.
— or mostly a continuation of what I think happened after the cliffhanger

Summary
"It’s his own fault, too. Not just for – for being like that. Mike blames himself because he wasn’t able to keep his damn mouth shut. He never has been, so he’s learned to pick out the strained smiles and glassy eyes that worm their way onto others’ faces when Mike is being too much. He felt it from other kids at school, from teachers, and from his own family.
Fuck the people who say they miss the bubbly, vivacious little kid he used to be.
All they ever wanted was less of him, and Mike delivered on that. He made sure to shove bits of himself in drawers, under beds, and behind closet doors. Sometimes it was the trash can, the side of the road, or among the embers of a roaring fireplace.
He realized his mistake too late – everyone hated the parts that he’d kept, but he had no way of going backwards. The damage had been done, utterly irreversible."
Or: Mike runs into some trouble at home and has to find the comfort he needs somewhere else. Luckily, Joyce Byers is ready with open arms.

Summary
A year had passed since the defeat of It, and Richie was not doing so well. From constantly drinking, losing his job, and having sex with any man that resembled Eddie. His life was utter shit.
On his way back from visiting Eddie's grave, Richie comes across a bloodied, beaten runaway boy in Hawkins, Indiana. He takes the boy back home with him in hopes of finding him a good home since it was apparent he didn't come from one. But the question still remains. Why does this kid look like him?
Mike Wheeler was living his best life at the moment. The mind flayer was gone, El was going to public school with them, and Will and El were his partners! Everything was great.
Until it wasn't.
His parents had found out about their relationship and tried to ban them from ever seeing each other. He wasn't about to let that happen; he couldn't! He just didn't expect his parents to get so abusive.So, not wanting to be a bother to anyone, he ran away. He was not expecting to run into some old guy who was LOADED.
Or, in other words, Richie Fucking Tozier. That stupid comedian Dustin was obsessed with.
Could his life get any fucking better?-

Summary
Will’s voice unravels, a rolling carpet, “I don’t see a way out of this where no one gets hurt, Mike.”
Mike knows that’s true. But he presses his lips together for a long second, then releases, “you’re not getting hurt again.”
Flashes of Mike’s life back when Will went missing fly by, all of them carrying a bone-deep sadness. Mike doesn’t want to go through that to a worse degree. Mike shifts his focus up to Will, his best friend’s expression conflicted. It means Will is listening, truly listening, and Mike yanks forward the truth shouting from the back of his mind to the forefront of his tongue.
“If Vecna wants to hurt someone,” Mike says, “he can have me.”

Summary
Sometimes, I still order pizza without olives, he wants to say. Sometimes, I write to you. For you. Sometimes, you're the only person I want to call. I still have my watch. I saw a poster for The Cure and thought of you, two months ago. It’s on my wall. Do you still like horror movies? Everything reminds me of you. You’re all I think about.
Mike shakes his head. "I think about you all the time."
Will frowns. "Don't – don't say that."
"Why not?" Mike questions, shifting where he sits. "It's true."
December, 1993.
For the first time in four years, Mike and Will speak to each other.-

Summary
How— how did Mike never fucking notice that? Will’s ass— okay, maybe he has looked at it at some point before, but it didn’t mean anything! His curves, however… Mike wasn’t aware of that. And now, all he ever wants to do is to slide his hands down Will’s curves, make him squirm, grab his ass, make him sit on his lap and grind those soft globes onto Mike’s clothed dick like Will’s some fucking whore who gives strangers lap dances and gets fucked for a living.
Mike has dirty thoughts about his best friend. Things changed when one summer afternoon, Holly offers Will a popsicle and he puts on a show. For Mike.

Summary
“Talk to her, Mike!”
Will’s voice is panicked and Mike looks at him, as he wants nothing more than to take his hand into his own and brush their fingers together. He almost does it, actually.
Almost, because Will’s fast words outrun him, getting right through Mike’s skin and breaking his heart, taking his soulmark with them.
“You’re the heart, Mike! You’re the heart!”
Mike doesn’t know what’s faster - the tears coming up to his eyes or the ache flooding his veins. He feels an excruciating pain in his right arm, something very close to being burnt alive, as he realises that his words have turned black.
Mike is fourteen years old, when he stops hoping for his soulmate to love him back.
or
Mike Wheeler every year, with all the pain that comes with getting older, falling in love with your best friend and not being your soulmate's soulmate. Maybe.

Summary
“Were you cyberstalking Will again?!” She sounds childishly excited when halting at the stairwell banister, like she’s cracked an impossible case, always relentlessly seeking the truth.
Or
Mike and Will used to be friends. Best friends! But after one fight they couldn't come back from during the summer, they haven't spoken to each other since. The only time they cross paths is on the piste, with epee swords brandished, as fencing rivals for their opposing boarding schools - Hawkins High vs Lenora Hills Prep. This year is no different, except it kind of is. Something pulls them together and this time they can't escape it. Because there's no Mike without Will and there's no Will without Mike. Simple as that.

Bookmark Notes:
I love the prose, for whatever reason. Maybe I've gotten far too used to flowery prose, but this is short and snappy and giving high school romance/rivalry vibes throughout. Interspersed with memories and quotes I'd know anywhere. It's always interesting to read AU's. So much fun. I wish it were longer. Plays into several tropes, but which story doesn't?

Mike takes a deep breath and squeezes the hand holding El’s. She squeezes back. He leans his head on the back of the couch, looking up at the popcorned ceiling of this new house they have yet to make any lasting memories in.
Like a bandaid.
“I have a twin brother.”
***
Richie pulls Eddie forward until he’s straddling his lap and holds onto him for dear life. “What if he hates me or something, Eds?”
It’s quiet when he says it. Barely a whisper into Eddie’s neck. He hates admitting that he actually cares what some people think about him. But, to Eddie, he’d admit anything.
OR
Mike and Richie are twins that were separated at birth.
Karen and Ted decide the best time to tell their son the truth is about a week before his twin is due to visit for the summer.
