Summary
Those protective instincts kick in and Mike can’t help himself as a crazy, irrational idea takes root in his mind.
An idea that has absolutely nothing to do with seeing Will in a Speedo two nights a week for an entire year. Nope. Definitely not.
“What if I joined the team with you?” Mike blurts, reddening.
Or:
Will and Mike join the Hawkins High swim team in their senior year, spend waaaay too much time at the pool together in teeny tiny Speedos and feelings grow deeper…

Summary
The world is a beautiful, powerful, terrifying beast. Mike never fails to feel in awe when he sees proof of just how giant and formidable it’s capable of being, and in moments like these, he savors feeling comparatively small, miniscule in the face of everything else.
So many things feel so unimportant when staring down a natural monster.
have you ever fallen in love over the course of four months? have you ever fallen in love while chasing storms? have you ever done both?
well, mike wheeler is about to.or: welcome to tornado season 2026!

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”
—
Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

Summary
“Don’t you remember?” Lucas asked softly. “When we were kids? Like, sixth grade. We all said we’d be in each other’s weddings.” He chuckled. “And Mike called dibs on being my best man, and then you and Dustin started freaking out, because you were both gonna call dibs, so I said you could all do it. Remember? I need all my best men.”
Will puffed out his cheeks, running a hand through his hair. He already hadn’t lived up to that twice now. He’d missed Dustin’s wedding, he hadn’t even been invited to Mike’s (not that he’d expected to be.) This was his last shot.
And something about it seemed final. If he missed this, then that was it. He had no doubt they’d still try to reach out, but it wouldn’t be the same. He would’ve broken something he couldn’t fix.
He sighed.
“Okay.”
Ten years after the end of the world, Lucas and Max get married.
It's a mess.

Summary
Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.
Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.
The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.
A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.
The beast’s got him.

Summary
A wishbone never breaks even.
That’s what they say.
That’s what Mike learned.Luck might seem to be on your side when you avoid stepping on cracks in the pavement, looking into broken mirrors, or crossing paths with black cats. But those aren’t enough when all you have are matching hours on the clock, a piece of wood within reach to knock on, invented shooting stars, and no certainty that he wants to stay.
A four-leaf clover becomes the only thing you know how to search for when he disappears from your life.
Was all of this just a summer fling?

Mike writes Wishbone about Will (the SMAU)

“This is so unfair. You’re really going to stay dressed?”
“Yes,” Mike replies, standing up and moving toward the chair in the middle of the room. “I said I wanted to write today. And you promised to be good.”
Mike sits down and gestures for Will to come closer. […]
“Sit here and keep your promise. You’re going to stay quiet, warming my cock while I work on the book, and later I’ll give you the attention you deserve.”

Summary
"So," Mike said, voice rougher now, almost careful, "you think you're bigger?"
The words hung there, half-joke, half-challenge, drawn from the same nervous energy that made Mike open up moments earlier.
Will's pulse hammered in his ears. He met Mike's eyes, and really looked at him, he saw the same mix of curiosity and embarrassment staring back.
"I bet I am," Will said softly, the words slipping out before he could take them back.
Or: Mike Wheeler has a massive dick, Will becomes obsessed with it.

Summary
Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
“Take me.”
Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
“Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
“Deal.”---
Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.Translated into Русский on the site Книга Фанфиков
