Summary
At twenty, Will Byers has made a quiet decision: he won’t let himself fall in love with Mike Wheeler again. Whatever he felt before was one-sided, unspoken, and painful—and he refuses to relive it.
Mike, on the other hand, is only just now catching up. Feelings he never named before begin to sharpen into something undeniable, and when Will returns to Hawkins for Christmas break of ’91, Mike finds himself desperately trying to close the distance Will is determined to keep.
or,
Mike Wheeler trying his best to "woo" Will Byers.

Summary
In a 1500s faith-ruled world, a devout paladin escorts a quiet cleric whose miracles defy Church law. As forbidden love grows, persecution follows—revealing Will to be a forgotten Listener, a pre-Church divinity who answers truth and suffering rather than prayer, and Mike’s oath to have always been bound to him. Cast out for choosing each other, they walk on—condemned by religion, yet made holy by love.
tl;dr: mike wheeler centric fic, set in the 1500s where will, a forgotten god, crosses paths with “michele”.

Summary
“I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”
Will froze.
Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.
Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.
When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.
As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.
