Summary
Mike cut him off before he could complete the thought, "You have a problem. I have a problem."
"Okay?" Will waited for him to get to the point, patience growing dangerously thin.
Mike clinks his knife against his plate a few times and lets the question hang in the air for a moment.
"I might have a solution."
Will's patience dissipates completely, "Oh my god, Mike. Land. The. Plane."
Mike's face settled into something serious.
"We should fake date."

Summary
Following a traumatic brain injury, Mike loses all his memories. Returning back to Hawkins, he puzzles his life back together with pictures and old journals and a book he never did finish writing. And all these forgotten materials are haunted by Will Byers, who he hasn’t been close to in years.
Will has been over his unrequited crush on Mike for years and he has no intention of returning. The distance helps and so does his interesting art friends. He hadn’t meant to stop calling Mike, but he did find the ache of missing him hurt less the longer they went without speaking. But when he returns to Hawkins after hearing of Mike’s accident, old feelings come crashing back. Because this Mike Wheeler is no longer afraid to say exactly what’s on his clean-slated mind.

Eight years of awkward distance now have a deadline. Collaboration is a special kind of torture when the person you're building a world with is the one who broke yours.

Summary
"You have no fucking decency," Will yells, as he grasps the canvas that held a perfect painting, into ugly spills and strokes of blue and black.
Mike's eyebrows are upturned desperately, but he still bites back smugly. "I'm so, super sorry, Will." But now it's mocking. It's sarcastic and ugly, like how Will sounded when he shredded Mike's lyric sheets. Will storms to Mike, grabs the collar of his shirt in a fistful with both of his hands, and smacks him against the wall.
"I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to," Mike says in one, hurried breath, his breathing shaky and hot.
Now that sounded scarily sincere.
or
Will Byers can't pay off the rent by himself, and to be honest, an apartment without anybody else is blatantly boring. He's tried coercing Dustin, who immediately refuses once Stacey takes him back. Dustin luckily knows a guy, though, and gives Will's information to him. To Will, Mike's okay. He's polite and honest. Until he starts to bend the rules.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is one of the biggest actors in the world. He’s used to people staring, asking for pictures, pretending not to recognize him. A eighteen-hour flight to Auckland is supposed to be the one place he can finally get some peace.
Will Byers is leaving everything behind. One-way ticket. Two suitcases. No real plan except to start over somewhere no one knows his name.
When everything that can go wrong does—and a broken seatbelt earns Will the last available seat in Business Class—they end up side by side for the longest flight of their lives.
Mike expects another fan. Will has no idea who Mike is.
Somewhere over the Pacific, between awkward silences, shared meals, sleepless hours, and conversations neither of them expected to have, two strangers begin to realize that maybe the person sitting beside them is exactly who they needed.
Or: a celebrity, a runaway, one accidental upgrade, and eighteen hours that change everything.

Summary
“H-Hi! Uhm, I’m Mike Wheeler, I’m not sure if you reme-”
“Wait, as in the Mike that dated Jane?” the boy interrupts, amused.
“Y-Yeah! You’re her brother, right? Will?” Mike asks awkwardly. “We were also in Mrs. Carol’s class together in second grade, but I don’t know if you remember me.”
“I remember you,” Will smirks. “You used to always fight with our teacher.”
“I-I yeah, we didn’t really like each other,” Mike laughs awkwardly. “But anyway, my mom wanted me to bring you guys some cookies to welcome you back to Hawkins.” He hands Will the box. “And if you need any help getting used to school again or anything, I’m happy to help.”
“Thanks, but I’m sure I’ll be fine on my own.” Will takes the cookies. “Have a nice day.”
Then he slams the door in Mike’s face.
Also inspired a little by Force of Gravity because that fic was actually peak and there’s not enough stuff like it!

Summary
Mike Wheeler is in love with Will Byers, but it’s the kind of love that takes bravery that Mike simply does not possess, and doesn’t believe he ever will.
Mike only knows how to hide - from the people he loves most, from his feelings, from himself. He hides behind his relationship with El; he knows he pretends she’s someone else.
She’s going away to study abroad, and she wants more for herself than a relationship with someone who doesn’t even know her favorite color.
In a mindless and pathetic plea, Mike professes to El that she is the best thing that’s ever happened to him, despite the pain and suffering Will had to go through in order for their paths to cross.
Will overhears this, and with a broken heart and severe desperation to get over Mike, he takes up on his scholarship from NYU (that mike is unaware of) and makes everyone around them promise not to tell Mike where he’s going.
After all, hasn’t Will has always been great at hiding?
Four years later in 1993, Mike finds out where Will has been hiding from him and will do anything in his power to beg and plea for will to be back by his side.
Except Will Byers has moved on with someone new.

Summary
“This is insane. You're insane,” gasped Will. “All of you are the same. Entitled, selfish brats that can’t be bothered to know the faces of the people that scrub your floor."
He jerked his arm back, pitching his now half-dry rag at Mike. Its journey was all of two feet, stopping short inches from its target and slowly flittering to the ground.
Mike cackled, further enraging Will. He reached over, latching onto the first object his hand made contact with.Will lobbed a mop at Mike's head.
“I quit!”
Mike ducked.
“Quit what? Robbing me? Shredding me of my dignity? Hold on, stay there for a moment,” Mike said sarcastically. “Let me find a pen so I can poetically express my eternal gratitude for your sacrifice.”
An enemies to lovers style AU where Will takes a second job as Mike's private house cleaner, except things go sideways...very quickly.
