    Summary

    “Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.

    “What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”

    Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”

    So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?

    Summary

    “Mr. Byers! I was hoping to catch you. This is Dr. Owens, from Hawkins National Laboratory.”

    Will pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance, already feeling a headache beginning to form in his temples. "I’m kind of in the middle of a lecture here, can this wait?”

    “I’m afraid it can’t. We need your assistance urgently.”

    “And why do you need me?” Will was unable to suppress the bitterness in his tone, “You’ve got plenty of experts and doctors on your staff. I’m just a grad student, and I’m halfway across the country. What could I possibly do that no one else could?”

    Dr. Owens cleared his throat on the other end of the line, “You’re the only one who’s been there and made it out alive. Honestly, we could use your expertise. We’ve caught a specimen. A live one. And you’re definitely going to want to see this.”

    Or, it's 1998 and the Upside Down is still alive and kicking, and something new just came out.

    Summary

    "Is Will your boyfriend?" Holly asks, and Mike immediately chokes on the lettuce in his mouth.

    "Wh- what?" he gasps, dropping his fork and swallowing back the salad that suddenly feels like cement in his throat. Holly's looking at him with a strange expression, like she's trying to figure something out.

    "Will. Is he your boyfriend?" she repeats, even though Mike very obviously heard her, and the question doesn't feel any less shocking the second time.

    "No!" He yelps. "No, why would you think that?"

    Holly shrugs, taking another bite of spaghetti like this is a normal conversation and she is not slowly killing him. "Nancy calls him your little boyfriend sometimes, and Mom says he's your person, which basically means the same thing, and you live together and act like a couple and unpack groceries together, and- I don't know. Seems like it could be a thing."

    holly visits college roommates mike and will, and has a few important questions for them

    Summary

    The demogorgon is lifeless, and Will’s never seemed so full of it. He unfurls his hands and lifts his head to meet Mike’s waiting eye, and—for a long while, he just stares, knuckles smearing blood across his upper lip, headlights painting him golden. 

    I love you, Mike thinks fleetingly, then pitches forward and pukes onto the street.

    Mike has a concussion—and a few other issues. Set after the events of Chapter Four: Sorcerer.

    Summary

    “Are you feeling okay?”

    Vecna is long gone and super dead, but, sometimes, Mike is unconvinced that Will’s powers met that same fate. Surely, he’s still got some mind-entering abilities left over.

    Grief, the flu, and homosexuality tag team to beat the fuck out of Mike Wheeler. Will helps, sort of.
