Summary
In which Mike Wheeler absolutely pounds Will Byers during broad daylight, and Jim Hopper can't catch a fucking break.

Summary
Will feels Mike’s eyes on the back of his head. They’re soft, but Will feels Mike’s gaze deep in his chest. “Can I see?” He asks. He rests his head on his hand, waiting for Will to turn around.
Will smiles softly. He shakes his head. “You can see it next week.” Mike doesn’t push, doesn’t lean closer and peer over Will’s shoulder. Instead, he pouts.
“Please?” Mike asks, staring at Will with his perfect, sparkly eyes. He’s almost whining because he knows Will is weak for him. “Just a peek?” He tilts his head, and it takes too much effort not to give in.

Summary
“Well, this sucks for Dustin,” Will jokes as he slips the shotgun off his shoulder and pulls a shell out of his jacket pocket, loading it in. “First he misses my magical powers, now he’s gonna miss this.”
Mike laughs in response. He watches as Will hefts the shotgun up, making sure the butt is sat snug against his shoulder. Will’s eyes narrow as he lines up the gun with the generator, and Mike feels butterflies in his stomach at how self-assured he is with it. He sees Will take a breath in then slowly exhale, his finger pulling the trigger.
or: Mike and Will get their turn in the Upside Down to confess.

Summary
“He really does look like Mike,” Lucas breathes, as he gives Mike’s twin a scan, head to toe.
“Yeah, if Mike were way hotter and a knight?” Max chips in, and Will can vaguely hear Mike muttering again. “He looks so medieval, like he’s from Camelot or some shit.”
“I am Michael,” the knight begins to plead again. He turns his doe eyes back to Will, returning to his side like a diligent guard, even going as far as to reach out and take his hands. “Please, you have to believe me. I would never lie to you. Have I ever broken our oath? Let me prove it.”
Will was a bit preoccupied with gazing into the knight’s eyes, his cheeks flushing under the intense stare and the way his hands were held so gently. Mike had no issues ruining their moment.
“And he’s weirdly obsessed with Will.” Mike sounds even angrier than he did in the woods, and his sharp tone is enough for Will to snap out of his hand-holding to step a respectable distance away from the knight. “We need to send him back to wherever he came from.”
or
Mike the Brave ends up in Hawkins and sweeps Will off his feet. Mike has a lot of Feelings™ about it.

A conflict of interest (in your orbit) by wheezingwheeler
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
01 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
"They were satellites in unstable orbit, trying desperately not to collide while being pulled toward each other anyway."
Will Byers thought he'd buried his feelings for Mike Wheeler somewhere between Hawkins and Chicago. Then Mike walks into his life again, and eight years of distance collapse into nothing.
What starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them can name - desperate encounters, painful misunderstandings, emotional manipulation, and Mike's inability to reconcile who he is.
When Mike finally stops running, he might just be too late.

Summary
"Why do you keep saying that?"
"Saying what?"
"That you're a virgin," Will says forcefully, like he's in pain.
"Because...I am?"
"No, Mike. You're not."
Everything changes at Stacey's party between Mike and Will, who share more than just a first kiss. But by morning, Mike has forgotten their special night. Will, thinking Mike is taking the easy route and pretending their night hadn't happened, moves to New York and packs his forever crush in hopes he can move on. But the boxed up feelings twist and turn into hate toward his former best friend and he vows never to speak to him again.
Mike can't remember Stacey's party for the life of him. But he does remember one thing: telling Will how he truly feels. But now Will has left town and Mike is left to believe it's because his feelings aren't reciprocated.

Summary
“Sorry, sorry,” Mike said, stepping aside and gesturing stiffly at the couch like a Victorian gentleman offering someone a seat. “You can, um… sit. First. If you want.”
Will narrowed his eyes playfully. “You’re being weird.”
“You’re being weird!” Mike hissed in a whisper, horrified. “We’re both being weird!”

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

Summary
“Oh, now you can talk to me? Were you too busy thinking about that girl and her hands all over you?” Will teased, his voice shaking.
“Fuck her,” Mike snapped.“Fuck me,” Will countered, his voice a desperate rasp.
Mike stared down at him, his silhouette dark. He shook his head. “No.”“Okay, fine. I’m leaving.” Will shoved Mike’s chest, scrambling out from under him and heading for the door. He didn't get far. Mike beat him to it, slamming his back against the wood, blocking the exit.
“Move, Mike,” Will demanded, but Mike stayed where he was at.
“You want me to touch you so bad?” Mike asked, his voice firm, vibrating in the small space between them. “After you let him put his mouth on you? After you let him drag you into a bathroom like you belonged to him?”
Mike leaned down, his face inches from Will’s, his breath smelling faintly of the liquor from earlier. “You think you can just come back here and have me crawl all over you? After I had to watch him mark you?” He looked down at Will, “Get on your knees. If you want me so badly, show me who you really belong to.”

Summary

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

Summary
"Mike scowls down at the picture and takes it tightly between two hands. He grits his teeth and rips at the photo until it splits in two, leaving Will smiling back at him in one piece and this Carlton guy in the other. Mike grins down at the photo of Will and slips it into his jacket pocket as the city begins to peek over the horizon. He drops the half with Carlton (really, what the fuck kind of name is Carlton?) onto the dirty bus floor and crushes it with the toe of his Converse."

Summary
Mike is sitting at the desk that technically belongs to both of them but has, by unspoken agreement, become his. His typewriter is centered in front of him, a stack of slightly wrinkled paper to the left, a mug with cold coffee to the right, and his glasses sliding down his nose every few minutes.
The lamp is on low. Yellow light pools over the keys and his fingers.
He types carefully at first, then faster, then pauses, his fingers hovering over the keys shakily.
On the page, the name stares back at him.Will the Wise.
