Summary
LIKELY TO REMAIN UNFINISHED!
As all great DnD campaigns begin, Will the Wise finds himself in a tavern.
He's come to taverns for flings before, and tonight is no different... though who approaches him is not a man he was expecting.☆.•
Mike wants to start a new campaign, despite their last ending only a few months ago. It doesn't take much convincing for Will to happily accept.
“More guts, more gore, and a darker storyline.” A more adult campaign, but really, Will was just excited to finally be able to romance an NPC now that he was out of the closet.☆.•
OR:
Mike is weirdly enthusiastic about the prospect of a romance arc for Will the Wise in their new campaign.Bookmarked by Criptic_squid

Summary
Will decided he’d rather slip away into himself and observe everyone else rather than verbally participate. Which is what he’d been doing, successfully, he might add, for several weeks now. He’d still give just enough in group settings so no one would notice his lack of contribution to the conversation. And when he thought about it, he preferred it this way. He didn’t need eyes on him all the time, and he didn't need to be the center of attention. He’d rather watch and listen to his friends than overpower them with his thoughts or feelings.
Spying made it sound like it was wrong. But, if he changed it to observing… that was something everyone did.
Will began observing everyone.
or
Will learns how to slip into The Void. And he can't help but spy on Mike.

r/DnD
u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]
Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

Summary
It's 1997 and the ghost of Mike Wheeler walks back into Will Byers' life twice in one day: first in a Midtown coffee shop, then as the writer assigned to his graphic novel. Eight years of awkward distance now have a deadline. Collaboration is a special kind of torture when the person you're building a world with is the one who broke yours.

Summary
He couldn’t believe it ended like this again. He tried so hard to protect himself this time, to shut Mike out before he could hurt him. He was naive to think that he was going to come out unscathed. The effect Mike had on him was too big. Will should have known that no matter how everything went down, he’d end up right here, on the floor, alone.
He wished Mike was still here. It disgusted him.He would forever be 13, destroying castle Byers.
(A mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate fic, set in the 18 months between season 4 and season 5.)

Summary
It took his eyes a few seconds to focus, and once they did it only brought him even more confusion because the person standing before him was none other than… Mike Wheeler?
What the fuck?
When he left Hawkins behind in the rear-view mirror of his car yesterday, he did not expect to get such a stark reminder of it again so soon.
Mike is Chance’s college roommate and he hates his guts, the only silver lining is the pretty boy who comes to visit him every week.

Summary
Sir Michael tilted his head, squinting at Will. Without warning, his hand came to cup Will's cheek, turning his skin at least ten degrees warmer. "He looks like you," Sir Michael continued, "and he has your name. Your moles, too."
His thumb came down to brush the mole over Will's top lip. The touch felt soft, strangely reverent. "My— moles?"
Mike had the same sentiment, albeit with more displeasure. "His moles?"
Will makes a wish. Sir Michael the Brave comes to fulfill it, but Mike Wheeler makes his wish come true.

Summary
“What? No! I mean — I just meant—“ said Mike, struggling with the words, “I… I mean… who is it?” he turned back to Hugo, “Can we know their name? It might be somebody we know already.”
Will frowned, “I hope it’s not,” he said, “I don’t like anybody we know enough to marry them — except our friends, obviously, but that’s different.”
Hugo, if it was even possible, looked somehow immensely more excited by these words, “I can’t tell you who it is,” he giggled, “That’s a really big spoiler.”
Mike Wheeler’s son arrives in Hawkins with no explanation, snapped back in time entirely by accident — and he latches on to none other than Will Byers. If only they all knew why.

Summary
“We’re supposed to be a team.”
Mike’s hand falls from the door knob. Instinctively, he takes a step back, and he turns back around. The door closes gently behind him, and Mike stares at his boyfriend in surprise and in confusion. “What?”
“We’re supposed to be a team,” Will repeats, his voice trembling yet still a bit angry. His eyes are narrowed at Mike—defensive but still on guard, wounded but still ready to fight.
It’s familiar. Somehow, the two of them always end up like this.
Or:
A year after the Upside Down’s destruction, Will and Mike are in what their friends like to call their “honeymoon phase.” But when a new problem arises and puts strain on their relationship, the two of them must learn what it truly means to work together as a team and to love each other well.

Summary
Will sucked in a breath. “I know… we got attacked by a bunch of demos and bats. I was really overwhelmed, and I kept seeing through the monsters’ eyes—it was awful. My head hurt so bad, and then I got grabbed, I think, and… that’s all I really remember. Until waking up here.”
Mike swallowed hard, looking down at the white tile. He wasn’t sure if it was a good or bad thing that Will didn’t recall anything after passing out.
“Do you remember Mike saving you?” Max inquired, a faint grin reaching her lips. Mike blinked, turned to Max, then risked a glance at Will.
The boy was smiling faintly at Max, a blank look on his face. “Mike? Who—Who is that?”
