the stars in the hazy heaven (tremble above you) by SarahJacobs

Summary
His eyes followed El across the floor- the man seemed to know what he was doing, if their gliding was any indication. She laughed as he spun her, a hand planted safely on her waist, and a sudden thought occurred to Will.
Maybe, if this night went well, he wouldn’t be the only one to gain from it.
After all, no one deserved happiness more than El. She’d endured so much, so much more than anyone he knew, himself included, and if tonight was her ticket out, well then, maybe they could stay just a little longer. Maybe she’d find someone to love her tonight, to take her out of that house, away from those horrid Turnbows-
Something caught Will’s eye.
Shiny black curls, sleek and inky and-
And sitting beneath a golden crown.
Will’s stomach flipped.
Mike was here, all right. Oh Jove, was he here.
Will watched in horror as the prince made his way across the room, right towards Will.

Summary
Now, someone walked into the room. A boy, awkwardly standing at the side of his bed, looking over him worriedly. His hair was brown and scruffy, and he had big baby doe eyes and a yellow-and-blue horizontally-striped shirt like a cartoon character. The window was lighting him up like he was important to Mike’s narrative. The curtains are blue, thought Mike, this boy is light. I love metaphors. Maybe he was high on the pain meds. Upon seeing him, Mike felt a great affection, a great peace. Plus, he had long eyelashes. Mike almost giggled to himself. He was definitely a little high.
“Hi.” breathed Mike.
“Hi.” he said, hesitating.
“We’re friends?” Mike asked hopefully.
Or: During the Party's final battle with Vecna, Mike is gravely injured and loses his memories. He wakes up in a hospital only remembering a handful of inconsequential little things, like how much he loves a boy who seems like light.

Summary
New City. New School. Same Old Heartbreak.
Will Byers thought sharing a dorm with Mike Wheeler would be a dream come true. Instead, it’s a front-row seat to Mike’s awkward attempts at moving on from El. But when a messy night ends in a kiss that feels anything but accidental, the rules of their friendship are rewritten overnight.
Will is happy to play the role of the secret lover, the placeholder, if it means keeping Mike in his life. He’s prepared for the breakup. He’s prepared for Mike to find a "real" girlfriend. He’s prepared for everything... except the possibility that Mike isn't pretending at all.

I wouldn’t Bet on it (but I’m Wishing all the same) by DecemberDisappears

Summary
Mike means to say something tame. Something like “Hi.” simple, can’t possibly mess up a greeting, right?
Or maybe if he’s feeling confident (which he isn’t) say something like “Hey, could I maybe get your number?” Leaning against the counter or, “Could I ask when you get on your next break?”
But instead of something a normal human would say, or how Steve would chat up a hot girl (and apparently also guys? Shocking revelation) at a bar.
But instead of literally anything else, what comes out of Mike’s mouth is:
“Could you help me win a bet?”
Or:
Mike has to win a bet and prove he can get a date in less than two weeks to bring to Nancy’s Birthday party, before he has time to rethink it, their very hot waiter shows up to take his order, and Mike is staring too long, and not speaking right.Mike’s fucked basically.
(Also for the sake of this fic, the Byers live in NYC, and the Wheelers live in the state of New York.)

Summary
Will is captured by Vecna once again, forced to live through different realities, and one thing remains constant about every single one; Mike and Will are in a relationship. Is this just a tease from Vecna to break Will even more or is there a deeper meaning behind each reality?
At first, Will can't seem to remember why he is there in the first place, why and how he is switching realities. Will struggles to understand his situation as he falls deeper and deeper in love with Mike with every reality before it gets torn from under his feet.
Will he ever get back to his Mike safely? Will it even matter that he gets back? Mike doesn't like him the way the Mikes do in the alternate realities.

Will travels through realities in which he realizes he is in a relationship with Mike in every one excpet his own

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

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?”
OR
When Will gets injured during the final battle and ends up losing some of his memory, Mike struggles to come to terms with the fact that his best friend forgot him. In an attempt to recover Will's lost memories, Mike tries to remind him of their adventures together, and accidentally-on-purpose tells Will that they're secret boyfriends. Once Will's memories return, he decides not to say anything, just to see how far Mike is willing to take the charade.

Summary
“Jeez, you really are sick.” Will muttered and Mike choked out a laugh.
“‘S just my luck.” He murmured, ignoring the way his head spun when he lifted it from the toilet seat.
Even under the harsh white light of the bathroom, Will still looked good, his honey brown eyes furrowed in concern and lips slightly parted. He was beautiful, and Mike wanted to bite him.
He recoiled a bit at the thought but now that he had thought it, it wouldn't go away. He could imagine it, digging his teeth into Will’s wrist, blood beading from the teeth marks faster than he could lick it up. The rushing in his ears got louder, twin heartbeats thudding in his ears and Mike turned to heave into the toilet again, not even bothering to stop the sobs that were ripping through him.

Mike Wheeler has always had shit luck; he just didn't think it was this shit. Something is wrong with him, and it all started when he was attacked by a stray Demo-bat.

Summary
Will thought things were supposed to be easier after Vecna was defeated. Instead, Mike is missing, Eleven is dead, and months have passed without answers. The last time Will spoke to Mike, he was spiraling—insisting Vecna might still be alive, that Eleven might be too, that none of them were ever truly safe. Then Mike disappeared. No note. No explanation. Nothing.
Everyone else has left Hawkins, busy rebuilding their lives, and Will can’t shake the feeling that he’s the only one who still cares that Mike is gone. Or maybe that guilt is his alone to carry.
Will tells himself the strangeness is over—until he returns to his apartment and finds a massive hole torn through the floor. Sitting at his dining table, casually eating an apple, is Mike Wheeler. Except this Mike is wearing strange, battered black armor, and there’s something wrong about him.
Because this isn’t his Mike. This is a Mike from another universe—a vampire paladin summoned to defeat the darkness they call Vecna. But Vecna is already dead. Right? Right?! Maybe Will just needs sleep. Or maybe everything is about to get much worse.
[OR: Vampire Paladin Mike x Will = Evil Not So Evil Byler]
