Summary
Jane parked herself in front of the table. She was still learning how to match colours (“She’s experimenting and finally feels free to be herself,” as Will would’ve put it): she was wearing one of Jonathan’s dark green-and-ocean-blue plaid shirts, a pair of pants that was definitely too big, and a pink headband with an obnoxiously large bow.
Lucas, bracing for the worst, shrank down behind the table. Dustin was preparing for the impact. Mike, meanwhile, was staring at Will like an idiot, completely hypnotized by his sweet smile.

Summary
Will Byers and Mike Wheeler are academic rivals who can’t seem to exist in the same room without arguing. Being forced into a semester-long project is bad enough. Being forced to live together makes it unbearable.
Except hatred starts to look a lot like fixation.

This. Is THE BEST, the music choices match SO INSANELY WELL, the transition into each persons POV, the little Byler and foah moments, THE SIBLING MOMENTS UGH, PERFECTION.
If this isn’t what ure looking for.
Think twice.
Itll seriously make u feel grateful for breathing the same air as the writer. -

Summary
Will blinks. Mike is looking at him with an amused look on his face, wide-eyed and a little pink across the bridge of his nose, and God, okay, Will wants to–
“Um,” he says instead. “Huddling? For warmth?”
“For warmth,” Lucas echoes, and then looks back at Dustin again. “Huddling. For warmth.”
“Like penguins,” Mike offers, and then rests his head on Will’s shoulder like this is supposed to be helping, or something.
Will Byers and the harrowing experience of being snowed in with your mom, your almost-stepdad, all of your friends, and your (kind of) (secret) boyfriend.

Summary
“He says it’s about protecting the kingdom,” Mike said, quieter now. “But who is he protecting it from? Fathers? Children? People trying to survive?”
Will’s fingers tightened slightly against Mike’s shoulders, a silent reminder that he was there.
“Fear makes people cruel,” Will said gently. “And sometimes… fear makes them believe they’re right, even when they're not.”
Mike searched his face. “Do you believe that?”
Will held his gaze. Careful. Measured.
“I believe,” he said slowly, “that you would do it differently. You will do it differently.”
💕💕💕💕
In Hawkins, magic is treason.
Will has spent his life hiding what he is, protecting the prince from the shadows, and pretending his heart doesn’t belong to him.
Mike has spent his life trying not to become his father.
When monsters rise, secrets unravel, and love refuses to stay hidden, the cost of the truth may be higher than either of them can survive.

Amazing. Dazzling. Clever. Shakespeare might I say. If you’re thinking about reading this, you’re not, because you decided u NEED TO.

Summary
“Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”
“No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.
Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”
“So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”
“I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”
Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.

Summary
“Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”
Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.
He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

Summary
Mike Wheeler was a coward. He knew that, but still lived his life under the conformity he was raised to fit in.
But when his daughter comes to him, putting a camera in his face, and saying the name of the boy he’s been in love with for nearly fifty years, that wall of safety shatters.

Summary
Mike feels—fuzzy, a little bit. Not from the wine, because he didn’t have much, but just from the day itself. From his realization. From the certainty that he can’t go back, after this. He’s let himself feel it. He’s let himself decide. From today on, there’ll just be the time before he knew he liked Will, and the time after.
Without really thinking about it, he swipes over to his messages. His and Will’s pathetic last conversation is still there, Will’s gracious apology and Mike’s fumbling acceptance. The screen blurs in front of his eyes; light and color and sound. He types:
Do you ever think about us?
He presses send.

Summary
“So, um,” Will stammers. “You’re saying I should get to know Patrick?”
Mike’s expression shutters for a moment, before he seems to pick up on the fact that Will’s joking. “Oh, shut up,” he grumbles, rolling his eyes. “If you want to date an anime nerd, then by all means—”
“Well,” Will says, heart still hammering in his chest. He tries for a smile, but he’s not sure he quite manages it. “No one else is offering.”
—
mike and will are roommates. it’s a disaster, except for all the ways that it’s not.

Summary
In the aftermath of chaos in volume 1, the basement becomes a fragile refuge where exhaustion and unspoken emotion settle heavily between Mike and Will. One is barely standing after giving too much of himself, the other instinctively stepping into the role of protector, clinging to routine and care to avoid confronting what truly frightens him. Small, fleeting touches carry more weight than words, charged with things neither is ready to name. When the promise of sacrifice is spoken aloud, it fractures the quiet, revealing a truth that can no longer be ignored. Whatever the world demands of them, they are bound together in ways that make separation unthinkable.

Mike wants to be with Will on his own terms. But he is nothing, if not open to negotiation.
