Summary
Will Byers lives a quiet, solitary life as a children's book illustrator, helping bring other people's stories to life—fixing lonely trees, drawing impossible worlds, and leaving pieces of himself on pages no one will ever know he touched.
Then, one cold night, he finds a stranger collapsed outside his apartment building. A young man who can't speak, pale, exhausted, and little more than skin and bones.
Will only means to offer him a warm place to sleep. A meal. A shower. A few days to recover.
He doesn't expect Mike to stay. He doesn't expect to learn how to understand him without words. And he certainly doesn't expect the silent stranger in his home to become part of the story Will has been trying to remember his entire life.

Summary
After Will Byers returns to Hawkins after living in California for five years, his life turns upside down. Going back to his past life — a life he thought was long gone — comes with great struggle Will tries to convince everyone (himself included) it’s just some seasonal depression that’s going to wear off once fall is over.
Turns out it’s anything but a seasonal depression, as Will begins to feel like he’s going insane — feeling like he’s haunted by the ghost of his past, struggling to eat anything as food looks like poison, and with a good night’s sleep becoming a thing of the past.
And it certainly doesn’t help that Mike Wheeler keeps staring at him from across the hallway like a creep. He keeps staring instead of talking to Will, instead of making things right after ghosting him years ago.
Because despite once being inseparable, now Will sees Mike as nothing but a cowardly stranger, who didn’t have the guts to write him one last letter saying he didn’t want to keep in touch anymore. Or at least that’s Will’s point of view.
TW. viewer discretion is advised, this work is a tough read that gets emotional and violent at times. please stop reading if it is too much for you.

Summary
It's the summer after graduation and Hawkins is plagued by a heatwave. As Mike whiles his days away at the pool, he tries to figure out why he no longer feels normal about Will - and why he can't stop staring at his abs. But when lights start flickering and kids are talking about strange things happening at the Creel mansion, Mike soon realises that his identity crisis isn't the worst of his problems. His obsession with keeping Will safe makes him confront some traumas of his past - and feelings he hasn't been able to name.

Summary
“You’re not coming this summer. I haven’t seen you in a year and a half and I know it’s-it’s pathetic—“
“It’s not pathetic,” Will interjects quickly, shaking his head, “It’s not—“
“It is, Will,” he hears Mike’s voice break over another hitched breath, “I know you’re… I just want you to be happy. I never want you to come back to Hawkins, but I’m fucking selfish. I’m so selfish, and I’m sorry.”
Will lets the tears spill over and he lets that want that’s always itching under his skin show itself.
“My whole life I’ve missed you every second you’ve been away from me,” Will confesses quietly into the receiver.
If you’re pathetic, I’m wretched.
-
Not long after the final battle, Mike and Will were inseparable– until Will moved out to New York.
Despite the weekly calls and the freedom of living their lives without terror, there’s no world in which they could last so long apart without it feeling like torture.
Will gets a call, and three days later, Mike is at his doorstep.
It only takes a day for them to fall back together again.

Summary
Please, please, please, he’d begged, pinning Will’s wrists to the wall on either side of his head as his dizzying scent brought literal tears to Mike’s eyes. The strongest it had ever been, and Mike was just so, so certain he’d combust if Will let another alpha temper his heat one more time. Don’t go to him. Stay with me. I’ll make you feel so fucking good baby, I’ll keep you safe, let me show you. I’ll take such good care of you.
---
Mike has been helping Will through his heats for a handful of years now, because that's what good friends do. He does a good enough job avoiding his feelings... until Will gets pregnant. Then, things get a little bit more complicated.

Summary
“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.

Summary
Six months of long-distance have turned Mike Wheeler and Will Byers into experts at surviving on late-night phone calls, handwritten letters, and missing each other with an intensity neither of them knows how to contain.
Then Jane accidentally mails the one letter Will never meant anyone to read.
What follows is an escalating exchange of Polaroids, confessions, and promises that make hundred of miles feel impossibly small—and the wait until spring break unbearably long.
But before the letters, before the distance, before either of them learned how to say I love you…
there was October 1988, and the story of how two best friends finally became something more.

Summary
Mike Wheeler wrote a fantasy saga where the hero's sword is cursed, rotting away whenever he's late. He hates touring, he hates Hollywood, he hates silence, until, during a tour in New York, a stray puppy that smelled just like Will gives him a purpose again. A clue.
Will, on the other hand, learned that promising is the most dangerous thing in the world. He promised to stay, but when the test was positive, he packed everything and vanished into the night. He spent the next five years raising an asthmatic boy who was the spitting image of Mike Wheeler. He never told him.
And he never would.
Or: the classic trope, ‘the omega finds out he's pregnant after a one night stand and runs away. Years later, the alpha finds them… and the little kid that’s an exact mini replica of them ’, with byler!
