Summary
Mike Wheeler is standing at the edge. Looking down at the place where everything fell apart for him. Where he realized his feelings, his pain, and a new fear.
AKA
Mike Wheeler is kinda getting Vecna'd and nobody notices because well the world is ending and also he's terrible with feelings so he kinda doesn't tell anyone. Will does though because I love Will Byers and I think him and Mike are just great. Little bit of Byler, lotta bit of angst. Mostly angst. Also Vecna has a plan. One that maybe even I do not know yet. (Just kidding. I do)

Summary
The thought slips in before he can stop it.
Would Will’s lips feel like this?
The question startles him more than the kiss ever does.
And suddenly all he can see is Will. Will’s eyes, Will’s face, Will’s lips—everything else fades.
In a blur, he moves forward, letting himself kiss El deeper, harder. If he focuses just right, he can almost convince himself—her lips could be Will’s.
She could almost pass.
or the fic where mike has to deal with his feelings and self hate.

Summary
Endings arent always happy. They can hurt, can leave scars and empty houses. They can end with fallen tears, screams of anguish or an envelope and a vial of pills. Yes, endings aren’t always happy.
But endings can change. Sure, sometimes life feels hopeless and you can barely leave the bed, but the thing is endings can be happy. You just need to give yourself a reason. When everything seems dark, remember there’s always someone who can hold your hand, wipe your tears and lead you into the light. The scars can fade, and the sadness can be replaced with hope. Don’t ever forget about the light.
One day, the weight won’t feel so heavy anymore. Your laugh will be loud, your smile easy.
One day, you’ll be so free it feels like you can fly. So never give up, reach out and hold on to the light. -

Summary
The truth is, Will wouldn't know what an actual normal person does, not really. The word normal has become a thing of the past, an outdated word that's been permanently torn from his vocabulary.
Will Byers hasn't known normal for years. Not since that damn spider bit him.
And just when Will thinks he's finally figured out this whole superhero life, here comes Mike Wheeler, ready to prove him wrong.

It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.
Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
