Summary
“Nothing,” Will says, right into Mike’s ear. “Still feeling good?”
So good. Mike makes sure to not say it aloud this time. “I think,” Mike says slowly, heart pounding, “I need” — Will pulls back just a little, just enough for their noses to bump against each other, clumsy, and Mike bites the bullet — “one more.”
Will is still in Mike’s lap, which is maybe not very platonic of him, and the joint has smoldered its way down to the end, nearly over, all eaten up by the fire. Will swallows thickly, then leans closer, a perfect imitation of their positions from earlier. Mike isn’t sure how long it’s been, but fire has been eating away at him too, this whole time, leaving him on the brink of going up in smoke, slow and burning and so good.“Yeah?” Will murmurs, realization dawning on him, eyes wide. “One more?”
or: Mike’s still new to this whole smoking thing. Will has a few ideas.

Summary
“No, but really. If I were a girl,” Mike presses on, looking up at Will with red-rimmed eyes through dark lashes. Leaning in. Somehow, fully unaware that this line of questioning has Will's heart climbing up to his throat. “Would you want to kiss me?”
Will and Mike get high in the desert.

Summary
Mike reaches for his glass, taking it with both hands. Murray’s smile becomes broader, his teeth glistening as he bobs his head slowly in an affirming manner.
“There you go, Wheeler! Woo!” Murray exclaims excitedly. He won.
Will, wide eyed, looks directly at Mike, who’s eyeing his drink.
“I mean- he’s not wrong, Will.” He’s returning the gaze, holding it. His voice is soft, it’s careful and suggestive. He wants Will to do this with him, Will apprehends.He gulps, his gaze still locked with Mike's, and without breaking it, he takes the glass that hangs offering, towards him.
He lets out a huff of air.
“Lets have some fun boys! Cheers!”
Murray is gleaming.

Summary
“Any of it.” Will shrugs, embarrassed. “I don’t know how to ask someone out, or how to act on a date, or how to- kiss, or anything like that.”
“Oh.” Mike’s expression clears, and he grins. “Well, like I said, you’re a catch, so I don’t think you’d need to worry about putting people off or something. And all of that stuff is way easier than it sounds, seriously.”
Will makes a face. “That can’t be true.”
“I’m serious!” Mike says, laughing a little. “Here, we can practice.” He shifts on the bed, arranging his legs beneath him and sitting up a little straighter, running a casual hand through his hair. “Pretend I’m a guy you like.”
Practice makes perfect, especially when the person you're practicing with is your best friend.

Summary
November 10th, 1988, Will Byers is taken into the Upside Down. The Party & Co. come together to try and save him, all the while Will is fighting to save himself. New monsters emerge and love flourishes. Will hides and Mike finds.
Together, even across dimensions, right?
. -.. . -.
Will should’ve realized this sooner. The fifth anniversary of the start of all of this, the day he was taken, was just four days ago. It passed by harmlessly.
That should’ve been a warning sign.
Now Will is paying the price for his naive, yet blissful, ignorance as he dangles between the balance of his two worlds.
One of home, one of nightmares.
El's grip on his bloody hand is tight as she tries to pull him from perdition.
Looking up, he can see El’s face flushing with strain, her limbs shaking. She’s tired. They’re both exhausted. After everything she's done in the past few days, he knows she's spent. Her powers can’t–
She can’t save them.
Will can't be saved this time.
But he can save her.
He inhales, taking in his last breath protected by a night of blanketed stars and faraway brown eyes, and exhales.
Will let go.
And he falls away from Eden.

Summary
“Will, is something up? You’ve been really… off lately.”
Will spun around again, wearing a grimace. Mike flinched.
“You want to know what’s *wrong*, Mike?” Will asked pointedly and took a step toward him.
Mike’s eyes widened. “I mean, yeah,” he replied, eyebrows raised with concern and shock.
Will stepped even closer. “*You*,” Will said, jabbing his index finger at Mike’s chest for emphasis, “won’t ever leave me the *fuck* alone.”

Summary
After the Byers move to California, Mike discovers the world of goth music and fashion, all thanks to Siouxsie and the Banshees.
"What. The. Fuck.
Those were Mike’s first thoughts after he finished listening to Juju. How could he have been missing out on this?! This music being hidden from him for so long was a crime! The song’s melody mixed with the singer’s voice was like a siren's call to Mike. Mike was in heaven and Siouxsie was the angels choir."

Summary
"For one," Mike sighs, propping onto one elbow to look at Will properly, "Holly definitely has a crush on you."
Will squints, just barely, lips curling up in amusement. It takes Mike an excruciatingly long time to detect what exactly Will thinks of this matter, but what comes out is soft, mellow, and not particularly to Mike’s enjoyment: "That's kind of cute."
“It is not,” Mike hisses, and Will shoots him a grin. “She always talks about you, always giggles whenever you talk to her, and because she's like, incredibly adorable, and you’re so good with kids, I'm going to be trailing behind you guys like an absolute loser because she totally hogs you.”
"Wait," Will blurts, brows drawing close. "Are you jealous?"
Mike Wheeler is many things, but he is never jealous.
Except — maybe this time he is.
(Only a little bit.) -

Summary
The terrible, awful thing about finally getting what he wanted — namely, Mike — is that now he wants more, the selfish creature that he is. When he was younger, he’d been able to convince himself that kissing Mike, just once, would be enough to last him a lifetime. Foolishly, he’d thought that he could relish that single kiss and live a peaceful life, one where Mike was still his friend and nothing changed but his feelings would dissipate.
Instead, they grew; they’re still growing, Will fears, growing bigger and bigger each time Mike and him get together, because every sound Mike makes when Will kisses him makes Will want to find ten more little gasps and whines and groans, and each time Mike twists their fingers together and pants against his skin Will thinks about how much better it is than the time before.
will and mike are - something, and will's not entirely sure what. whatever they are, he wants more, but he's not sure if he can have it.

He doesn't know who to blame anymore, who's at fault at the root of everything. It's Dad. It's Mom. It's Mary, and it's John. It's Dean, at the end of the day. What do the roots matter when the tree is on fire?
"I don't want to be the Dean you wanted me to be," Dean tells her quietly.
Mary swallows. "Don't worry, you're not."
"What's he like? That Dean."
"Just like you."
"Then what's the difference?"
"He never lost his mom."

Summary
Dean keeps going back.
When he arrives, it's always to blooming flowers and a windmill in the background, not too far from a brook, the sun painting the plains.
He likes it there. He likes to stand in front of the makeshift urn and check that it's still where he put it, switching out the flowers when they wilt. He likes to listen to the sound of birds chirping, insects singing, the faint sound of water trickling in the distance. He likes to turn his face up and feel the sun on his skin, wondering if Cas would do the same if he were here, somehow knowing that he would.
He likes to talk.
There's never a response, but Dean feels the breeze rustle through his hair and watches the flowers bob when bees come to them and stares as the windmill keeps turning, turning, turning. And he imagines that Cas is replying—the windmill is the tilted head, the bobbing flowers are a gentle smile, the breeze is whatever words Dean wants to hear at the time.
Sometimes, it's almost like he's there.

Summary
For years, "Goin' out for a drink" had been Dean's standard excuse whenever he needed a little time alone. When Cas raised him from Hell and was ordered to keep an eye on the Righteous Man, Dean's strange little ritual escapes from the drudgery and horror of his everyday life intrigued the angel. He'd secretly watched the man who was destined to save the world try to save himself, one small adventure at a time, and learned some of his greatest lessons in what it means to be human in the process. Ten years later, he figured it was about time to come clean-- for both of them.

Summary
As soon as Dr. Lecter is seated, Will says, “So they hired you to work on my profile?”
Jack holds back a sigh. This won't do. They have not started working yet and Will is already acting up. Jack opens his mouth to speak, but Dr. Lecter beats him to it. “So it seems.”
Will snorts. “Well, this is gonna be fun."
Everyone knows that Will and Hannibal are married. Not everyone knows that they are married to each other.
