Summary
The world is falling apart and the Byers have been living in the Wheeler household much to Will's dismay. Stress piles up, secrets pile higher, and Mike and Will's relationship teeters between friendship, denial, and something neither of them has the courage to name.
A single night crosses a line they can't uncross and Will's long-rooted feelings only intensify, especially when Mike's affection only surfaces through the hazes of stolen wine or when he falls apart.
Caught between hope and heartbreak, Will can't tell whether Mike truly feels the same... or if it's just his way of numbing the world as it seems to be breaking.
Regardless of where they stand with one another, can they withstand the end of the world?
OR!
what happened during those 18 months + REWRITTEN SEASON FIVE.
(WARNING: lots of VERY mature subjects and themes in this story, viewer discretion is advised. - Also tried to make the characters as close to themselves as possible. Everything is pretty accurate in the setting other than Robin having a friendship with Will here.)

Will and Mike's Excellent Adventure by Nymphadoragreenleaf

Summary
“Mike?” Will’s voice quivered, distracting him from his tests, “I don’t think we’re in your basement anymore?”
“Huh?” Mike stared gormlessly at Will whose head was swinging widely from point to point around the room.
“We’re not in your basement!” Will said, definitely sounding panicked at this point.
It took a moment for Will’s words to compute, his brain struggling to catch up as he regained his remaining mental facilities. Which would make more sense had he landed on his head, not his back.
Not being in his basement would explain the soft landing, white ceiling, and the spontaneous music at least. It saved him a broken back that’s for sure.
He slowly peeked around the room taking in the large double bed, sturdy set of drawers, and the overflowing bookcase tucked in the corner.
No way!
No freaking way!
He was back!

What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.

Summary
“My path must change.” He said. “The opening I intended… will have to wait.”
He leaned down slightly, bringing his ruined face closer to Will’s.
“But you.” He continued softly, almost thoughtfully, “May yet serve a purpose.”

The classic what if Will was never rescued fic. But with my own little twist :)-
