Summary
“You didn’t play like that before,” Jules said. “You didn’t switch twice inside the same lane. You didn’t bait me like that.”
“You trained around me,” she continued. “You trained knowing where I would be."
Emerson’s gaze held. Steady. Unapologetic.
“I trained because you knew me. That’s not the same thing,” Emerson said, low. “I almost got past you."
“Almost doesn’t count,” Jules said, sharp, teasing, heated, her mouth hovering over hers.
Katie Emerson doesn’t realize she’s crossed a line until she learns who Jules Holloway really is.
Northfield’s most disciplined defender. Westbridge’s most unpredictable forward. Rivals by name, by school, by everything that’s supposed to keep them on opposite sides of the field.
Jules knows how to read opponents. Emerson refuses to be known. And once they collide, neither of them can pull away.

Summary
“You have so many freckles on your back,” Will whispers gently, hand still moving the pen across Mike’s skin.
“What are you doing?”
“Connecting them. Making up my own constellations.”
Mike hums once more. “You should see if you can find actual ones.”
“I don’t know them that well.”
“I’ll teach you some soon.”
Will and Mike slip into an innocent, comfortable painting routine which soon turns into something more intimate than they both can handle. Touches become more frequent and linger for a beat too long — and Mike decides that he wants to explore this dynamic further.
What he doesn't know, however, is that the underlying reason for his sudden interest in said dynamic is just as hard to grasp as paint running through fingers.

Post-Canon College aged AU where Michaela (Mikey) Wheeler and Willow (Wills) Byers are dormmates.
Willow is exploring herself, making friends, dating girls.
Mikey is... I don't know, just chilling?Mikey gets weird when Wills is out more and more.
Almost possessive?
No idea why.
Also, her breath keeps catching whenever Willow looks at her too long or changes or puts on eyeliner.
Idk, Mikey's probably just getting sick.Bookmarked by catplanet236

Summary
Will picks up the book, gently, like he’s afraid of bending the spine. “This is the second one.” Will’s eyes light up as he says it. “I didn’t know it was out already.”
“You-, you’ve read the first one?” Mike stutters out, still standing frozen by the dining table.
Will laughs softly. His eyes move from the book to Mike’s face. Mike feels exposed in a way he hasn’t in a long time. “Read it? I loved it, Mike. It’s one of my favorite books ever. I’ve read it, like, three times.”
Mike secretly publishes a story about courage, monsters, and a boy he loves. He panics when he realizes Will might recognize himself in the pages.

Summary
Mike Wheeler was the school’s resident top dog and renowned bully. Star player of the basketball team. Not too hard on the eyes. He had many conquests in the past, everyone falling under his harsh thumb at least once. But for some reason, he kept coming back to pick on Will.
Over and over again.

Summary
Wheeler has spent six years building walls around himself. As second-in-command of the Hellfire biker gang, he's learned that trust gets you killed and feelings are a weakness he can't afford. He's fine with that, until a stranger with a sketchbook walks into his bar.
Will Byers knows better than to trust bikers. After his sister's death near a clubhouse, he's seen what they're capable of. But there's something about the man who steps in when a stranger won't take no for an answer — something about the way he looks at Will like he's trying to solve a puzzle.
Neither of them was looking for this. Both of them are terrified of it.
Because in the world of Hellfire and Vipers, catching feelings isn't just dangerous. It could get you killed.

Summary
Eight months after Mike Wheeler disappears without a trace, Will Byers is still living in the New York apartment they once shared - sleeping badly, painting through the night, and leaving the lights on in case Mike ever finds his way home.
Then Will begins to notice someone watching him.
A shadow on the roof across from his studio. Footsteps following him through empty subway stations. A presence in the dark that never comes close enough to frighten him, but makes sure no one else does either.
When Mike finally steps beneath a rain-soaked streetlight, he is alive - but no longer human.
Vampirism has sharpened everything Mike once kept hidden. His hunger. His protectiveness. His jealousy. The love for Will he spent years pretending was only friendship. He has returned colder, stronger, and dangerously devoted, carrying blood on his hands and eight months of secrets between them.
Will should be afraid of the monster Mike has become.
Instead, he invites him home.
Will must decide how much of the darkness he is willing to embrace.
And whether loving a monster might mean becoming one too.Bookmarked by catplanet236

Summary
“Well, maybe you should drive next time, if you’re such an expert!” Mike whines, jabbing Will’s side with his index finger.
Will yelps and smacks Mike’s hand away. “As if you’d let me drive, or just lift a finger in general.”
“I let you do plenty of things!”
“That’s so kind of you. Thank you for letting me.” Will shakes his head, but he fails to hide the smile blooming on his face.
“Why, you are so very welcome, my liege.” Mike snickers, his nerves finally settling down now that they’re back to their usual squabbling. “I can be reasonable.”-or-
In exactly one week, Will Byers is leaving Hawkins for college.
Mike Wheeler is handling this development very normally.
Unfortunately, "very normally" apparently involves becoming physically incapable of spending more than five minutes away from Will at a time, aggressively avoiding any discussions of the future, and slowly failing to keep his hands to himself.
How long can he keep pretending everything's fine?Bookmarked by catplanet236

Summary
“... I want you to bitch me, Mike.” His eyes dart between both of Mike’s. “...Please?”
Mike makes a noise that almost sounds like a groan, but it’s swallowed up by the sound of movement. All of a sudden he’s in Will's space, maneuvering his head to the side to gain access to his neck. To his scent gland.
He seems to suddenly realise what he’s doing, as if his body moved without his permission. “Uhm. Like–” His breathing is heavy, “Like… Right now?”
Will never wanted to be an alpha. There might be a way he can change it, but... He's going to need some help.

Summary
After a camping trip leaves Mike Wheeler bitten, feverish, and changing in ways no one can explain, Will Byers refuses to look away.
The moon wants to make Mike a monster. Mike believes it already has. But Will knows the shape of him too well - the boy beneath the claws, the devotion beneath the hunger, the love neither of them has been brave enough to name.
As full moons rise and secrets unravel, Mike and Will are pulled into something fierce, tender, and impossible to deny. The wolf recognizes Will as home before Mike can admit what he wants, but the truth was never born from the bite.
It was always there.
Waiting under the same moon.

“You’re not Will, are you?”
The sound of crickets filled Mike’s ears as he waited, fidgeting with the ice cream cone in his hand. He felt it melt, drip onto his knuckles.
He finally looked over at Will. The smile he had on his lips faltered, twitching. As if it were a mask.
“I did so well at pretending to be, didn’t I?”

Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.

Summary
"Tell me a secret?"
Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.
Will is a terrible person.
I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.
"I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."
Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.
"Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."
or
They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.
