Summary
I got mad and wrote about Mike Wheeler driving up to New York, punching epilogue boyfriend in the face, actually talking to Will about his feelings, and then kissing him a lot. It was cathartic and beautiful.

Summary
It’s thanksgiving, and Mike has forgotten what it means to be grateful.
That is until he is blessed with the sight of a 19 year old Will Byers at his door step- however, it feels less like a blessing and more so a curse, when he sees the hickey on his throat.

Summary
It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.
Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

Summary
Their shoulders brushed again, slow and equally savored. The kind of movement you couldn't pretend was an accident.
So Will brushed back, just barely. Testing. Flirting. Mike inhaled softly, the faintest noise escaping him. And then he spoke like he was physically unable to stay silent any longer.
“Will? If… if that boy you like…” he was standing so close that Will could feel the warmth of him against the cold air. “…If you ever wanted to tell him…”
Will felt his breath stop.
“…I think he’d want to know.”
OR: Yet another buzzy post vol 1 fic where Will grows more confident, Mike short-circuits over it, and they save the world together !!

Summary
“Tell me something I don’t know.”
Will’s eyebrows furrowed. “What?”
“You said I don’t know a lot about you. Tell me something.” Mike stared at him intently. He was going to try to fix whatever was going on between them one way or another.

Mike, Will, and a conversation they can't seem to actually have.

Summary
It's like Will's body moves before he can even process what he’s moving to, like his senses know when he’s near and pull him there before he can realize what he’s doing. His former well gripped want is bleeding though his fingers. He feels as if everyone can see it in the way he blinks, can smell the desire pooling out of his pores.
“—definitely overreacting, I mean, he’s as oblivious as they come!” Robin’s voice cuts through his thoughts.
“I don't know... I think even Steve could have picked up on what was going on in my head,” he squeezes his eyes shut at the onslaught of aftershock anxiety rushing back at the memory.
“I whimpered, Robin!” he pulls his hands to cover his face, to try to ground himself.
“You’re probably right... Steve could have picked up on what was going on,” she’s facing him on the couch, her knees leaning further to press up against his legs as she moves further into his space. “But Mike wouldn’t know sexual electricity if it was shooting from his own dick.”
OR: Will's been in love with Mike Wheeler since before he can remember, it was bound to slip out at some point.

Summary
The terrible, awful thing about finally getting what he wanted — namely, Mike — is that now he wants more, the selfish creature that he is. When he was younger, he’d been able to convince himself that kissing Mike, just once, would be enough to last him a lifetime. Foolishly, he’d thought that he could relish that single kiss and live a peaceful life, one where Mike was still his friend and nothing changed but his feelings would dissipate.
Instead, they grew; they’re still growing, Will fears, growing bigger and bigger each time Mike and him get together, because every sound Mike makes when Will kisses him makes Will want to find ten more little gasps and whines and groans, and each time Mike twists their fingers together and pants against his skin Will thinks about how much better it is than the time before.
will and mike are - something, and will's not entirely sure what. whatever they are, he wants more, but he's not sure if he can have it.

Summary
“Nothing,” Will says, right into Mike’s ear. “Still feeling good?”
So good. Mike makes sure to not say it aloud this time. “I think,” Mike says slowly, heart pounding, “I need” — Will pulls back just a little, just enough for their noses to bump against each other, clumsy, and Mike bites the bullet — “one more.”
Will is still in Mike’s lap, which is maybe not very platonic of him, and the joint has smoldered its way down to the end, nearly over, all eaten up by the fire. Will swallows thickly, then leans closer, a perfect imitation of their positions from earlier. Mike isn’t sure how long it’s been, but fire has been eating away at him too, this whole time, leaving him on the brink of going up in smoke, slow and burning and so good.“Yeah?” Will murmurs, realization dawning on him, eyes wide. “One more?”
or: Mike’s still new to this whole smoking thing. Will has a few ideas.

Summary
“Will said last summer you two had a fight,” Eddie said. “And that you yelled at him for not... having a girlfriend. So- Well, I mean, you can see how that sounds from an outside perspective, right?”
Mike didn’t. Actually he didn’t even know why something he said a year ago was still even relevant, especially because it was during a dumb fight and he always said stupid things during dumb fights.
Mike just stared blankly at Eddie.
“Are you kidding?” Eddie asked in disbelief. “You don’t realise how that sounds?”
“No?” Mike said, shaking his head. “I had a girlfriend and was being a douche that Will didn’t, I don’t even remember what I said during that fight. Why is this so important?”
~~~
Mike Wheeler does not care about gay people, not in a bad way or anything, he just doesn't care.
Not until all his friends think he's homophobic at least. Then he works to try and be better to stop misunderstandings like that from happening again. Suddenly all his friends start coming out and Mike learns of a beautiful word: Bisexual.

Summary
Mike took a long sip of his tea, letting the liquid pour hot and comforting into his stomach. “I’m not stressed, I'm just tired.”
“Yeah I bet,” his mother said quietly. “You kids have been through so much. You shouldn’t be dealing with all of this. Especially at your age.”
“Yeah. Well we are. Nothing we do can change that,” Mike muttered, a motto he repeated constantly. To expel the what ifs. The if thens. The maybes.
Or Mike and Karen have a long needed chat.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has grown up to be a young English teacher at Hawkins Middle School, trapped in the stagnation of his hometown and drowning in the memories of a past love with Will Byers.
But when Lonnie Byers dies in a drunk driving accident, Will returns for the funeral.
And Mike and Will have to face each other in all of their grief, anger, trauma, and overwhelming love.
(Written while listening to "Ruined" by Adrianne Lenker on repeat... and I think that had a big impact on the general vibe)

Summary
Will's been acting— strange, Mike thinks. He's caught Will skulking around the house like he's got lead weights attached to his ankles, watched his eyes blink listlessly without a hint of light in their irises, heard his voice go so raspy Mike wasn't sure he'd been speaking at all. Mike can’t help but worry.
He doesn’t look too good, either; clammy skin, pale, ashen face, hollowed cheeks like he’s hardly eaten in days. Will's acting half-dead already, and the world's not even close to ending yet.
Mike, on the other hand, is being slowly tormented by a strange monster with fangs long enough to spear him through. These two things— Will's strange behavior, and Mike's impending doom— may or may not be related, but Mike's got to figure it out. One way or another.
(Or; Will puts his life on the line to keep his friends safe, and nearly loses it entirely. Mike does all he can to bring Will back— and, in the process, brings them closer together than ever before.)

Summary
Will gets lost in the depths of his spiraling love sometimes. His heart clenches in his chest when he thinks too much about how truly tender it all is, Mike’s treatment of him and Will’s returned care and understanding. Mutual love, that’s all Will could’ve asked for. Requited affection, two-way attraction. This, though, the unconditional way that Mike holds Will’s most fragile pieces and makes good on his promises not to break them… Will never could have imagined a world in which that was a possibility.
Will grabs Mike’s hand as he’s led to the kitchen. Mike’s fingers are cold. Will brings his boyfriend’s hand to his mouth and kisses the pinks of his knuckles.
or: A slow winter morning in which Will falls in love with Mike for the millionth time.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.
