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
“You can come. But only if you will tell me what's wrong.”
There's silence on the line again. Then, Mike groans out loud, almost in frustration.
“Shit. Okay, okay. But there's, uh, something you need to know. Before – before you actually agree.”
Will swallows audibly.
“Yeah?”
“I have a kid.”
After years of no contact, Mike appears at Will's doorstep with a child in tow. What follows are hard conversations, overdue confessions and an adorable lesson in mid-20s parenthood.

Summary
They ask, is it better to speak or to die?
But what if you speak and nothing changes? What if you finally tell the person you love the truth, and you’re still the only one left carrying it?
Maybe silence isn’t what kills you. Maybe it’s having so much to say and knowing none of it will save you.
So you write it down.
You keep writing. You keep loving. You grow up.
You learn to smile when he talks about someone else. You learn to stand beside him without reaching for his hand. You learn to call him your best friend when what you really mean is please don’t ever leave me.
When Lucas gave Will Byers a diary at eleven, he thought it would hold drawings, D&D, monsters, and ordinary childhood memories.
He didn’t know Will would fill its pages with one person.
Mike Wheeler.
Every memory. Every secret. Every almost. Every word swallowed before it reached his mouth.
A childhood recorded in ink.
A love buried between the lines.And somewhere between the first page and the last, Will must learn whether loving Mike was what kept him alive…
or what slowly taught him how to disappear.
This is everything Will never told Mike.

Summary
Things get a little complicated when Will accidentally sends the picture that was supposed to be for his boyfriend Carlton’s eyes only to his best friend and roommate Mike. But Mike’s not exactly complaining.
-
His phone buzzed again. Mike reached for it.He expected a picture of the inside of the fridge.
Technically, he did get a picture.
It just wasn’t of the contents of their fridge.
It was more like the contents of his best friend’s underwear..

Summary
New York in 2098 is a brutal, filthy place. Corporations war over technological advancements, gangs carve up the city, and a corrupt police force shields the highest bidder. Mike is a private investigator living and working with Will, his long-time partner and a talented hacker. Together they attempt to unravel a bizarre case involving implant malfunctions.
"He imagines the sun rising over the city right now: people rushing to work, cars stuck in traffic, crows croaking hoarsely. Somewhere, someone is dying of old age; someone else is getting titanium parts to replace living flesh; corporations are making plans; the mafia is collecting bribes from its establishments and keeping an eye on rival clans... But here, in this windowless apartment, time stands still, crystallizing in the faint, bitter scent of Will’s hair, his cold fingers, and his uneven breathing—and nothing exists but this moment."
There are two parts of the story alternating each other: some chapters happen in the present and cover the case protagonists are trying to solve; some chapters are flashbacks with slowburn relationships.
Enjoy!

Summary
"Have you told Robin yet?" Mike asked.
"Not yet," Will said, flopping back onto the pillows, staring at the ceiling. "I should tell her, but I keep thinking it's actually better this way."
"Better how?"
"When you think you never had a chance in the first place, because the person just doesn't like people of your gender. It hurts. It's painful. But it's better."
Something deep in his chest lurched painfully and sank lower.
He thought about Carlton again.
"Yeah, you're right," he said. "It really is better."
Will glanced at him quickly, grimaced, and then said teasingly:
"What's with the sad face? It's not like you've ever been in unrequited love."
Mike smiled back.
God, Will. You have no idea.
Or: They're sophomores in college, and Mike just got back from a semester on exchange in another state. Will has just started dating Carlton, and Mike now needs to figure out if there's still a place for him in Will's life. The place of the person who cares about Will more than anyone else in the world. Thank God no one in this world can give Will the princess treatment he deserves — except Mike. Oh. And Tammy is into girls.

Summary
Freshman year. Mike, Will, and Lucas are ready for a clean slate. No more high school nerd status.
But back in their triple dorm room after their very first campus party, Mike can’t sleep. He never noticed the tiny noises Will makes in his sleep. So, he steps closer. Just looking.
He does it once. Then twice. Then every single night.
Until Lucas catches him, and Mike panics.
It doesn’t help that the thriller Mike is writing feels less like fiction every night.
But is it still "just looking" if you jerk off watching your best friend sleep?
———
(Yes, smut starts right in Chapter 1. No, Mike is not okay—he’s slightly obsessive, and borderline unhinged.)Bookmarked by StarPlanet43

Summary
Both of their bodies shake as they catch their breath. Will’s still hard, and his sweat is starting to dry uncomfortably on his skin, but all he can focus on is Mike.
It’s times like these he’s reminded how lucky he is to have Mike in this way. To see this side of him, this side that still feels too new and too intimate and too overwhelming all at once. Sometimes, he thinks he might be bitter. Resentful of his lot in life, being so painfully in love with someone who will so obviously never feel the same way. On his bad days, he even thinks he might resent Mike.
Like this, though, he knows that could never be true. Not really. Sure, it hurts, only ever having Mike halfway, knowing his body but never his soul. Yes, it’s going to kill him when Mike inevitably finds someone new and runs off into the sunset, leaving him in the dust again.
But it’s Mike. He'll take whatever he can get.
When he and Mike end up in bed together after graduation, they fall into something dangerously easy. Or, at least, it would be easy, if it weren’t the most painful thing Will’s ever done.

Summary
The walkie at Will’s hip crackled, as if Mike felt his ears burning. “Will,” he said, voice low.
Will unhooked the radio from his belt. Nervous energy coursed through him, and he took a deep breath before answering. “Yeah?”
“You okay down there?”
“I’m good. You?”
“Me too.” Then, a little bashful: “I got you something.”
Will’s face hurt from trying not to smile like an idiot. “Really?”
“Guys,” Lucas cut in, exasperated. “Get your own channel if you’re going to flirt.”
Mike confesses his love in subtle ways at the end of the world. It takes a minute for Will to catch up.

Summary
“‘S better if you’re here.” Mike leaned forward. Elbows on his knees, glasses slipping down the bridge of his nose. “Don’t you think?”
Something about his tone was elusive to Will, like there was a hidden meaning behind his words that he refused to pull the curtain off of.
“I think so,” Will said quietly. He was confused, but he was also completely warm, completely safe. Even just sitting there on the couch with Mike, he was pliant and boneless. Right where he wanted to be. No matter what Mike said, he would agree. Because—well. It was all true, wasn’t it?
New York, 1994. Will is cursed. Because there’s no one else, no matter how hard he tries. There’s only Mike.

Summary
The quiet night sounds of the forest were loud around them. Crickets chirped; the breeze rustled through the trees. An owl hooted, somewhere almost out of earshot. From across the clearing, Will could hear the low murmurs of conversation, Lucas and Max talking in their own tent. Mike shifted behind him. His thumb traced small circles at Will’s waist, along the hem of his shirt, just barely ghosting across his skin.
“I’m not tired,” Will whispered.
He felt more than heard Mike laugh, hot breath at the back of his neck. “Me either.”

Summary
“My angel,” Mike murmurs. “My baby. I’ve got you.”
And look, Mike knows, okay? He knows he’s sappy. Knows that he maybe overdoes it a little with the soft, syrupy names. But Will is the best thing that has ever happened to him. Mike doesn’t know how not to love him like this: loudly and over-the-top, all sweetness and gentle hands in the dark.

Summary
“I think about you all the time, you know? What you’re doing in the city, who you’re with. Kind of makes me crazy. All the guys you bring home to your mom are assholes, by the way. Hop says so.”
Will let out a teary laugh at that, turning his hand to curl his fingers around Mike’s. “I guess I have a type.” Then, quieter, “You really think about me?”
Mike swallowed roughly, and then confessed in a croak, “Yeah, I do. I think about how much I miss you, and–I think about all the things I want to do with you.” All the things I want to do to you.
“Oh,” Will breathed.
Mike and Will get stuck in the wine cellar at the Lumax wedding.

Will answers faintly, “I love you, too. So much.” And it feels like a prayer, like a soft-shelled wish falling from his lips that was never meant to exist in the real world.
This is the future where Will finds everything that he ever wished for. It’s still not easy.

Summary
Slow-Burn, canon-compliant and set after season 4. Will Byers & Byler centric. If you like lots of feels and pining, a nice dose of spooky beasties, some silly character moments and seeing our boy Will kicking ass, taking names and coming of age, you're in the right place.
Premise:
It's two weeks after the fall of Hawkins and the Party are trying to figure out how to move on, find Max and stop Vecna.Will's heart is still breaking over Mike and El, but when those emotions awaken something decidedly more otherworldly and powerful he, and a strange new friend, have to confront what really happened in Hawkins on November 6th 1983 and what side Will himself is really on.
A fever-dream, mucho-feels, super long, semi-fix-it, version of Season 5.

5. Remain as professional as possible.These rules have never posed a problem for Will, until he’s hired to plan the biggest endeavor of his career: the wedding of New York Times bestselling author Mike Wheeler, his estranged best friend.

Summary
So, when’s the wedding?
Mike read and reread the comment, but gleaned no further information than he had the first forty times he’d looked at it. So, when’s the wedding…
Whose wedding?
Or; when Mike—a depressed college student with an unfortunate proclivity for repelling people—uploads an innocent video of his picture-perfect roommate, Will, to TikTok, the comments assume they are dating. Mike begins to wonder what would happen if he took their advice.
