I Won't Say It if You Won't Say It First by delusionalhemlock

Summary
Will finally makes eye contact with him again, a smile playing on his lips. Mike’s eyes dart down to them for a split second, then back up. “Okay.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I mean, whatever, right? We live together, for God’s sake, and we’ve known each other forever. Who cares if we have to hold hands for three days, too?”
“Exactly,” Mike says too quickly. As stupid as Robin’s plan had sounded when she’d proposed it, now that things were falling into place he found himself eager to get it underway. Treat Will like royalty. Easy.***
Three whole days Will’s heart hasn’t known whether to swell or break or rupture like his appendix. But he’s being discharged tomorrow, so it won’t be an issue for much longer, so for now he just pretends that the hand on his arm wants to be there. Because Will Byers-Hopper has never been chosen on purpose, and until tomorrow, he can pretend that this arrangement didn’t come about under duress.
OR:
New York City, October, 1989. Things have been better since Will moved away from Hawkins and Mike followed him. Until Will's appendix bursts and, in the chaos of getting him to the hospital and finding a medical proxy, Mike accidentally tells the doctors he's his boyfriend.

Summary
Mike Wheeler doesn't know if he's ever really been in love, and even though the world is ending, this feels like a pressing matter. Especially since he has a superhero girlfriend of four years that he's not sure how he feels about, and his best friend has a new girlfriend (no matter what anyone tells him, he's firm in this belief) and he kind of hates her guts.

- Part 2 of Eleven's Boy

Summary
Will is a disaster gay, and so seeks out disaster lesbian Robin at the Squawk for advice. She decides to spin some records (broadcasted, of course, on the Hawkins Hitmaker) for him to sing his little broken heart out, but during an impassioned rendition of “I Wish I Had Eleven’s Boy,” Eleven’s Boy himself walks into the station.

corrina, corrina by curlymcclain

Summary
Seeing him here, in New York, surrounded by the deep browns and golds of Hobart and Blackwell, is so alien to me I have to repress the urge to pinch myself like a child would after a dream. It looks incorrect, him standing here. Like someone has taken a pair of scissors to my memories of him, cut him out of his rightful place on the abandoned playground, and pasted him sloppily into a corner of my life where he doesn’t belong. Has it only been a few weeks? It feels like ages longer, like it’s been a decade, like we’re different people trying to see what exactly we liked about each other so much way back when.
But then he says it again- “Potter.”- and that feeling vanishes as quickly as it arrived.
“You came,” I say dumbly.
He gives a cheery smirk that I don’t believe. “Promised I would.”

the magic we hide (you touched my soul) by psychotic_fangirl369

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.

Summary
“Ahoy, mateys!” she called, waving her white cane in the air.
Mike scowled. “What’s got you in a good mood?”
She pulled a little sailor hat from her back pocket, strolled over, and—without asking—stuck it securely onto his head. “The view.”
“You’re blind,” Mike replied.
“I have peripheral vision loss and limited colour perception,” she corrected. “If I really squint, I can still see how stupid you look.”
Mike scowled deeper.

It's 1988, and Mike and Max both, to their chagrin, need summer jobs. Thanks to Robin and Steve's influence, they find themselves at the new and improved (and significantly less Soviet) Scoops Ahoy, but they don't exactly... get along about it. Shenanigans (and unexpectedly heartfelt conversations) ensue.Series

Summary
“I have a more important question,” Will says. “Um, why did the cleric have to be in love with the paladin?”
All eyes fall on Mike, the dungeon master.(Turns out, it actually was all just a longwinded campaign of Dungeons & Dragons. Naturally, the party has some concerns about Mike.)
