Summary
"What's your favorite color?" Will asked earnestly. "You never say in any of your interviews. I'm curious."
There was a pause.
Then a small hitch of breath, and Mike said, "what color are your eyes?"
Will blinked. "Ah, um - hazel. They're hazel."
Mike let out a small huff of amusement mixed with something else. "Then hazel."
"Oh," Will squeaked.
"Yeah," Mike said nervously. "Oh."
***
Will's read enough fanfics to know that becoming Y/N was like asking Hopper to stop smoking so much, or begging El to stop buying skincare. Impossible.
Well... improbable, actually. As it turns out.

Summary
Four years of silence. Four years of "moving on." Mike has a husband, and Will has the perfect life. But as the rain pours down in Hawkins and the memories of a speech given years ago refuses to die, Mike realizes he’d rather burn it all down than spend another night pretending he doesn't care. He’s selfish, he’s heartless, and he’s standing on Will’s porch with a proverbial match ready to do just that.
Will is finally happy. He's a successful artist, he has a beautiful life and a steady flow of income coming in, and a boyfriend who loves him. After the fallout of the upside down, Will's life is finally peaceful. Until one stormy night, when Carlton is working late and Will is jumping at every lightning strike without his loving boyfriend there to comfort him… Mike Wheeler shows up at his doorstep in Will's weakest moment just to complicate his life and ruin everything.

Yes, I'm Changing (If You Don't Think It's A Crime) by dckgraysons

Summary
It's 1993, and Mike doesn’t really know how to deal with adulthood. You could say he’s been a little depressed.
With Max and Lucas planning their move to California, the party stage a totally-not-an-intervention to pull him out of his isolation in Hawkins and Mike goes to stay with Will in New York.
Mike hasn’t seen his best friend in-person for almost four years. Will looks - different. Very different - and is that an earring?
It's kind of driving Mike crazy. To the point where he's dreaming of Will nightly. Yeah, those kinds of dreams.
Mike has no idea why this is happening to him - or at least that's what he tells himself.

Summary
Mike watched all this with tears streaming down his face, his chest rising and falling as if the very act of breathing had suddenly become a choice. He held Will’s hand. That’s almost a given, at this point. He held Will’s hand, and Will watched him hold it, safe in the endless expanse of the theatre’s darkness. I wish I could feel things the way you feel them, Will remembers thinking. I wish I could see the way you see. I wish you could stay like this forever. Let me kill all the lights and strike the hands from the clocks. Let me keep us here in the dark, where it’s safe.
Then, the curtain fell, the lights came back, and that was the end of that. Mike carried on like nothing had happened. Never mind, Will thought. I guess the only darkness here is me.
It's been a decade since El disappeared, Mike is still trapped in his own head, and no one knows how to talk about it. Then, Mike does something impulsive, and everything falls apart.
Or: A story about grief, trauma, free will, and what it means to have come face to face with the supernatural. This starts slow, but bear with me; I promise it doesn't go where you're expecting!
