Summary
He recalls old memories. Memories layered in dust and glossed over by time. A strike to the face. Words shouted like bruises, worming their way into his skull and causing a shame he’s never been able to shake. A fort in the woods and dice thrown across tables. Laughter easing all of his pain. But never erasing it.
Or
Set during the 18 months between s4 and s5, everyone has too much time on their hands. Will struggles with his constant headaches and growing shame in certain feelings that won't go away, until he meets someone who provides the perfect distraction. And perhaps some self acceptance, but not without cost. Mike can feel Will slipping away, but there are some secrets Will just can't bring himself to share.

Summary
The world is falling apart again and the Byers have been living in the Wheeler household much to Will's dismay. Stress piles up, secrets pile higher, and Mike and Will's relationship teeters between friendship, denial, and something neither of them has the courage to name.
A single night crosses a line they can't uncross and Will's long-rooted feelings only intensify, especially when Mike's affection only surfaces through the hazes of stolen wine or when he falls apart.
Caught between hope and heartbreak, Will can't tell whether Mike truly feels the same... or if it's just his way of numbing the world as it seems to be ending.

mike what tf did you do gate / what happened during those 18 months + leading into the events of s5
(WARNING: lots of VERY mature subjects and themes in this story, viewer discretion is advised. - Also tried to make the characters as close to themselves as possible. Everything is pretty accurate in the setting other than Robin having a friendship with Will here.)

Summary
Max was still in a coma as the gates were still open, but there were no signs of interdimensional monsters or Vecna.
The party had to go back to school for their final year. Will was not so thrilled about it; in fact, he dreaded it. Until he crossed paths with a mysterious basketball player who almost made him forget about Mike. Almost. Because, let’s be honest, how could he? -

Summary
there’s something wrong with his reflection – something he can’t unsee.
the silence should’ve been peace. instead, it’s a countdown.or:

Summary
“Will?” Mike whispers. “What—” he trails off. Dustin and the others are shouting over the walkie, all their voices overlapping in panic, but Mike’s only listening to Will.
“Use it on me.”
Will shifts on his knees, his grip on Mike’s arm tightening like he knows Mike is dying to run. He places the knife into Mike’s hand.
“At the military zone, I felt like I was burning when they hurt it. It has to work the other way around, right? It’s a hivemind. If you hurt me, it should weaken all of them.”
Or: in a moment of panic, Will convinces Mike to hurt him to save the Party. In another moment of panic, Mike kisses him to keep him conscious.
