    Summary

    "You're... you're such a jerk," the older Will panted, his eyes fluttering shut, his hands coming up to grip the older Mike’s forearms, though he wasn't pushing him away. If anything, he was pulling him closer.

    The older Mike leaned down, his lips brushing against the shell of the older Will’s ear. "Am I?" he whispered, the audio catching the low, gravelly vibration of his voice.

    Or:

    In the summer of 1989, a video store appears overnight in Hawkins, one no one remembers.
    Inside, Mike and Will find a tape labeled with their names, dated years in the future.
    When they watch it, they realize it isn’t a movie, it’s them.
    But the signal is fragile, only steadying when they are touching; to keep the future from dissolving into static, they must maintain constant physical contact.

    Summary

    Mike stares at the photo, whispering the words.
    His name is Will Byers.
    He has huge eyes, a gazillion moles, and a withering sense of humor.
    He draws the best pictures.
    He moved away when we were thirteen. His mother lives in Florida. He goes to school in Boston.
    He is alive.
    He was my best friend.

    Mike remembers. They haven’t taken everything yet.

    Seven years ago, Will Byers went missing. After he reappeared, everyone—even his own family—started to forget him.

    Now, it’s 1994, twenty-year-old Will is back, and it is happening again.

    A mid-90s AU set in the Pacific Northwest, ft.: slowburn Byler, mixtapes, flannel, witchcraft, moody weather, Nirvana, a spooky eldritch forest, and a whole lot of gay angst.

    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?
