Summary
“What exactly does this pact entail, then?”
Mike leans forward very seriously, bringing his face close to Will’s.
“When they make it legal for you to get married, because they will.” He pauses, as if to make sure that Will is listening. Will laughs and nods for him to go on. “And if we’re both still alone and miserable—”
“Wow. Is that the awesome future you’re painting for us on our last night?”
“Shh.” Mike is doing a decent job at staying in character, but the crinkles around his eyes are giving him away. “If we’re both still alone by then… and at least partially miserable. That part’s important,” he continues dramatically, “I’ll marry the shit out of you, William Byers. Deal?”
Or, before heading off to college, Mike and Will make a pact. Fifteen years later, gay marriage is legalized in the state of Massachusetts. These two events are intrinsically linked to one another.

Summary
Billy Hargrove hit Mike just a little bit harder, Max woke up just a little bit later and Mike Wheeler had always had shitty luck. He gets drugged, hauled to Russia and jabbed with so many needles that he doesn’t know where he began and the needles ended.
But it’s not so bad (He’s lying, it fucking sucks) at least he has the boy in the bed next to his, and relatively regular mealtimes and-
Yeah, he's having trouble coming up with anything positive.
He just wants to go home, but the doctor and this strange new thing in his chest aren’t going to let him. That’s fine, he’ll just have to get himself out.
-
TLDR: Mike Wheeler gets taken to Russia, gets powers and has to figure out how to get himself the hell out of there without killing himself or getting killed first.

Summary
“It’s s’posed to be a bowl!” tears roll down his face now.
He laughs, “you don’t like my hair?”
“I’m sorry—I didn’t mean it. I really love it. It’s just that you're old and different now, it’s scary,” his hands scrunch into Will’s shirt.
“Okay. You’re very drunk,” he pushes Mike off of him gently. Mike’s arms clumsily reach out in an attempt to hold him again. “You know you shouldn’t compliment a gay guy like that. He might get the wrong idea.”
Mike furrows his brows at him. If he was sober, Mike would be able to pick up the sarcasm in his voice, but right now his brain is functioning at an all time low. “Good thing I’m gay then. That’s the idea I want them to have.”or
Will hasn't talked to Mike for two years. He's happily living his life at college in San Diego. Max's dad just so happens to have a beach house in the same place. So she brings them all on vacation.
Problems arise when Mike drunkly comes out to him. Why should that matter to Will though? He's over Mike.Title is a lyric from 'Actor' by Conan Gray

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.
