Summary
Summer break, two years after graduating high school. Will and Mike almost kiss, and everything changes. They find themselves on a journey together after a mysterious clue. They have no choice but to finally confront what’s been going on between them for years.
“I keep showing up,” Mike says. His voice doesn’t break, but he feels like it should. “Even when you try to throw me away.”
Will flinches, and Mike hates himself for it immediately.
“I didn’t- ” Will says, and his eyes drop. “I didn’t throw you away.”
Mike’s mouth twitches. Not a smile. Something sadder. “You threw the letters away.”- Language:

Summary
“Maybe Will was just trying to entertain himself since Carlton was busy talking to their friends. Maybe he just wanted to talk and Mike was being perverted all while nothing remotely sexual was happening.
Now I just look like a sick idiot. Get it together, Wheeler.
The thought was short lived when Will’s toes slid under the hem of Mike’s sweatpants, teasingly rubbing up and down just at his ankle. Mike could feel every fiber of his socks and the way they stretched around his foot, the way the heat radiating from his body now pressed against Mike’s ankle just barely separated by a piece of cloth.
This definitely wasn’t to get Mike’s attention just to talk, he was doing this on purpose. Next to his boyfriend. And lord, if it wasn’t the most erotic thing he could have possibly been doing, Mike sure wouldn’t survive long enough to find out what is.”
Or, Mike is busy being pissed off about Will's boyfriend ruining his spring break, but all Will wants to do is try and spark an old flame. Whether Carlton knows about it or not is unimportant.

Summary
Will moved faster than he had ever moved in his life. One second he was lying beside Mike, and the next he was fully submerged under the covers, pressed against Mike’s side with the sheet over his head and his heart in his throat.
The door shut and Dustin’s footsteps echoed as he trailed down the hallway and away from the room.
After a good minute, Will shoved the covers down and popped up, hair a disaster, eyes wide, face burning hotter than the sun.
“Do you think he knew I was here?”
Across the hall from each other in Manhattan, The Party shares everything: food, couches, and each other’s business. The only thing nobody knows about? Mike and Will hooking up.
OR: The concept of Mike and Will as Monica and Chandler from Friends (1994)

Summary
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Renting a beach house with your friends for the summer - after last year's warm breeze flew you apart on different journeys.
But what do you do when your best friend is seemingly way ahead of you - in just about everything?
Maybe it was a bad idea when Will suggested that he and Mike should race against each other to see who could lose their virginity first.
That summer wasn’t going to be anything he’d ever imagined. Much worse than losing a stupid fucking race and much better than winning it.
“We could make a race out of it?” Maybe it was the way Will’s eyes beamed and the way the words of the suggestion left him, that intrigued something in Mike.
Mike hesitated before answering, not wanting to sound too eager, “How?”
“Whoever gets laid first, wins.”

Summary
The music was growing louder. “Will?” Mike called. Nothing. Again. He shuffled down the hallway, stopping in his tracks when he reached Will’s open door.
Will’s very open door.
Mike first noticed the expression painted across Will’s face. Exhilaration. Restraint. Pleasure. His cheeks were flushed pink, his head thrown back to reveal a blooming bruise at the base of his throat. His lips were parted in a silent gasp. His eyes were squeezed shut. His biceps were tensed against his tee-shirt and Mike followed the muscles down to his forearms, down to his wrists, to the fingers of his right hand curling tightly in the hair of-
The hair of another guy. A shirtless guy with a freckled back. On his knees.
Bowie’s tender prose rang out across the room.
Will opened his eyes, gaze meeting Mike’s dumbfounded one.
“Get out.” Will bit out, eyes glittering with something Mike couldn’t place, and Mike’s stomach dropped.
-
Just before graduation, Mike walks in on Will with another guy. This leads to tension... and exploration.

Summary
"Hey Dyl, Alex asked me to let you know we're heading out for a smoke, also the table broke."
"Goddamnit, not again! Fifth time this month! What is wrong with you people, you're like animals
in heat." Dylan said, annoyed.Will turned around to see who Dylan was talking to. It was the boy he'd made eye contact with
earlier. He was dressed this time, wrapped in a white bathrobe, wearing Spiderman socks, his hair
was wet and a few drops were falling onto the floor — he'd probably just gotten out of the shower.Will was about to look back at Dylan but it was too late, the boy had already spotted him.
"Hey, you're the guy who was staring at me earlier! I'm Mike, nice to meet you!" he said with a
wink.OR: Will needs money to keep paying his tuition for the upcoming school year. He comes across a listing where an agency is looking for an amateur cameraman to film adult movies.

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
The boy turns around, and Mike thinks he must be seeing things. Ghosts, maybe, because that would be the only rational explanation.
All he can do is stare directly at the boy standing before him.
A boy he used to know very well.
What the hell is Will Byers doing at Indiana University?
OR:
In which Mike Wheeler, the captain of the Indiana University hockey team, is forced to help run a skating training camp over winter break to avoid suspension and to participate in the playoffs.
It’s bad enough that he has to miss the vacation he planned with his best friends, but when the figure skater running the camp turns out to be Will Byers, his estranged best friend turned worst enemy, Mike thinks he might actually be the unluckiest person in the world.

Summary
Will could not help the question that burst from his lips, it had been ricocheting around his brain like a stray tennis ball and was simultaneously causing him the most excitement, distress and exhilaration he had felt in his entire life.
“Are you my husband?” he blurted. Mike blinked in surprise.
“What?”
Will lost his nerve slightly. He wondered if he had been horribly wrong about this, and maybe in this strange timeline he was just a friend staying over and maybe he’d made a mistake and the daughter wasn’t really his daughter and—
Will faltered. “Um, I — well, I just thought you were — I mean, you are my husband, right?”
Mike looked very alarmed. He was staring at Will as though he had grown a second head.
“Obviously…?” he said, “Are you feeling alright? Did your mom make you try her D-I-Y coffee again?”
When nineteen-year-old Will Byers wakes up to find himself in his forty-three-year-old body, he must—with no experience whatsoever—play the part of world-renowned freelance painter, father of two very troublesome teenagers, and most strangely of all: Mike Wheeler’s husband.

Summary
Will shudders, watching Mike’s eyes drop to his mouth. Lingering there.
“This is a bad idea,” he breathes.
“Yeah,” Mike agrees. He moves in, closer, pressing him further into the wall. Will doesn’t stop him. His fingers tighten against the rock behind him, holding on.
“We shouldn’t,” Will warns him.
Mike nods. “I know.”
“We really shouldn’t.”
“Okay,” Mike says, breath hot against Will’s lips. “Then stop me.”
Will hesitates. Part of him knows that they’re going to regret this.
But god, he wants it. More than anything. Just a taste of it. Just to know what he’s missing, before he has to let him go for good.
“Fuck it,” Will breathes, and pulls him in.One last summer at the Wheeler’s lake house was supposed to bring Will the closure he needs before he leaves Hawkins behind for good.
Leaves Mike behind, for good.
Instead, he gets swept up in something neither of them are willing to name — and neither of them are willing to let go of.Bookmarked by drumsandchips

Summary
“Is … Will, is there someone there with you?”
The answer was immediate. “No! God, Mike, no. If Hopper found out, he would kill the guy that was here. It’s just … and don’t make a big deal out of it or anything, but, um, I was drawing - ha, it’s kinda - well, uh, you. I’m drawing you.”
“Oh.” Mike said it before he had a chance to process what Will had said. And before he even knew what he was saying next, he asked, “What am I wearing in the drawing?”
“Uh, well it’s realism, and I’m practicing, like, body positioning, so - um, nothing. You’re not wearing anything.”
or
It's the summer after graduation, and Mike comes up with a special D&D campaign - one that only him and Will can play. One where they kiss and touch and … well, you know.

Summary
He wanted to push Mike away. Wanted to scream: "Get off me! Stop! She's right outside the door!" But his hands wouldn't obey. His body wouldn't obey. He only gripped Mike's shoulders tighter and pulled him closer, feeling him push deeper, slowly, inexorably.
Or
maybe Will had thought the night with Mike would be like before: movies, jokes, a drawing in his sketchbook. But when their scents suddenly mingled and their bodies refused to submit to reason, his familiar world collapsed. Presentation overtook them both at once primal, erasing all boundaries.
Oh, and the worst part: Mike’s presentation will trigger Will’s presentation, and then El’s as well.

Summary
Mike was sick of them. Sick of their double dates, their couple's costumes, inside jokes and plans they just have to make a 'couples thing'. Sure, the six of them still hung out together all the time, but Mike and Will would always end up ostracized by default, unable to communicate with them now that they only spoke the language of love and nothing else. And that summer, at the cottage, it definitely wouldn't be any different.
or
It's 1993. The party goes over to Lucas's family cottage for the summer; Mike and Will get bothered by how often they're excluded from all the couples stuff their friends do, which leads them to start pretending to be dating in the most insufferable way they can come up with. They just weren't counting on it completely blurring the lines of their friendship.

Summary
Is he…with someone?
The idea that he might be listening to Will fuck someone else made his stomach drop. The hunger from before turned to nausea as an image of Will on top of some random, faceless girl flashed in his mind.
I gotta get out of here.
Suddenly feeling very grateful that their apartment had carpet instead of hardwood floors, Mike turned to leave as quietly as he could.
He’d only taken a single step when he heard the word, soft and low, drift out from under Will's bedroom door.
“Mike.”

@d20dreamer: Can I clean you up afterwards? Seeing you all messy like this drives me mad to take care of you
Rainbowbaby paused the movement, leaning his torso forward to read the chat with the toy still humming quietly inside him. “Look at that… d-d… dreamer wants to clean me. Yes… l-love, you can. How would you do it? Tell me, make me imagine…”
@d20dreamer: With soft tissues first, to wipe the bulk… then neutral soap and warm water, rubbing slowly until you shine again. I’d dry you with a fluffy towel and cover you with your cosy cardigan!
For Mike Wheeler, life is a matter of lists, absolute control, and organization, whose only system failure is his fixation on a camboy from a streaming platform. However, when he crosses paths with the sweet and reserved Will Byers, the lines between his digital obsession and reality begin to blur. Will is a masterpiece of broken glass and hidden scars, trapped in a game far more dangerous than Mike ever imagined. When the ghosts from the boy's past — and the shadows of a predatory industry — threaten to reclaim him, Mike realizes that being a 'safe harbor' means fighting a war he wasn't prepared for.

Summary
Will levels him with his heated gaze but the boy is unbothered, blinking at him with his hair disheveled, completely obvious to the want he fills Will with.
Mike takes his hand back, but doesn't move away.
“Let me help you with your jacket.” Mike requests.
Will's brows shot up his forehead.
“Help, how?”
“Like, help you take it off.”
Will lets a beat pass, just looking into Mike's eager eyes.
“You want to help me undress?” he smiles suggestively.
Mike falters in his movements.
“I–” his eyes search Will's face, his gaze settling down on Will's lips. “Yeah.” he breathes out.
“Okay,” Will looks at him from underneath his eyelashes, blinking up at him. “Go for it.”***
Will and Mike go off to college together, just like they always planned to do.
They share a dorm, past traumas and love for each other.
While Will is trying to find a certain steadiness and sense of comfort in the life ‘after the Upside Down’, things with Mike get gradually more complicated (in a good way).Bookmarked by drumsandchips
