    Summary

    Life is hard, life is unfair. You do everything right, and your body still fails to do its main purposes on it's own. Time ticks by and things just don't get better, you never get used to the needles, the numbers, the temptation to fall into childlike innocence when you know you can never be a normal kid again.

    Or

    Mikey gets diabetes.

    Summary

    Baron Draxum at some point started to see the turtles less as rogue creations turned allies, and more as children he did in fact play a significant part in creating. Trying to form bonds with them and be in their lives is a bit complicated with their history however. Plus, he has one hell of a co-parenting situation to navigate if he wants to try.

    Or

    Four times Baron Draxum managed to be a good father to the boys, plus once when he was a pretty decent co-parent to Splinter.

    Summary

    Art block is bad enough on its own, but it's infinitely worse during the middle of an alien invasion.

     

    Or alternatively: Mikey takes years to figure out what to put on that accursed last page of his sketchbook. (Maybe it's more than just a little art block, in the end.)

    Summary

    He gets his balance back at the last second, throwing his hands out in front of him. That’s when he sees it, “Woah….”

    There are scars creeping out from under his wraps, from his fingertips all the way to the tops of his shoulders. They’re bright orange and nearly glowing, like Kintsugi pottery, and when he tries to flex his fingers they struggle to cooperate.

    “Mikey you okay?” He doesn’t know which brother called out to him, too focused on the fact that the scars seem to be growing in size, like cracks in his skin.

    “Ohhhh that canNOT be good”. His voice wobbles along with his body.

    “Mikey?” One of his brothers is significantly closer, which is good, because he’s too busy passing out to keep standing.

    Summary

    “That’s not my favorite.”

    “Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”

    Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.

    “Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”

    Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.

    Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.

    Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”

    Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

    Summary

    Mike barks a laugh. “I’m, unfortunately, requesting your companionship Thursday night to see Child’s Play 2 with Will and I.”

    She sends him a look of bewilderment. “How did I get dragged into your date with Will?”

    “Y’know, it’s really great that I can count on such discretion from you and Lucas. Super awesome that you don’t tell each other everything.” Max ignores him and he continues on. “Well, I tried my best, but he kind of looked at me all-dumbfounded and wasn’t saying anything, so I panicked.”

    “Well, duh. He’s liked you since, like, birth. Did you even give him enough time to answer?”

    “Of course I gave him enough time to answer.” Mike grits out, voice tight. “I know how to have a fucking conversation with someone, Maxine.”

    Mike Wheeler can’t pick a major to save his life, is fighting for said life in the worst class ever (Astronomy 101), and is desperately trying to romance the best person in his life.

    Enter: Will Byers, his advanced concepts in painting final project, and his pretty eyelashes.

    Summary

    "You’re everything to me, Will.”

    And suddenly it all crashes over him. Years of feeling seen by him, of being close to him, of never being able to say it aloud. Will's anger falters, and his fists drop. “I...I can’t.” He whispers, voice cracking. “You’re supposed to be with her, Mike. You can’t-”

    “I can’t help it,” he says, voice barely above a whisper. “I can’t help how I feel about you.”

    Everything stops. Will's anger, frustration, and fear all collide into one unbearable, aching, quiet truth; Michael Wheeler loves William Byers, even when he shouldn’t, even when he’s supposed to be with Jane.

    And the worst part? Will loves him back.

    OR

    After everything Hawkins and California has thrown at them, Will and Mike are back home, but nothing feels simple. Mike is always there for Will, quietly protective, a little dense, and more attached than anyone realizes. Will notices everything, but he’s learned to keep most of it to himself.

    As the days pass, small gestures start to carry more weight than either of them admits. Meanwhile, Eleven(Jane) begins to notice the way Mike looks at Will, and her quiet observations may be the push that changes everything.

    Summary

    Seven years later, Steve invites everyone back to Hawkins for the holidays. Love, it turns out, is harder to outrun than grief.

    The moonlight glimmered against his eyes, pained as he pulled Will’s mouth closer in desperation.

    A part of him had known then, that it would not last.

    a canon-compliant look, to how will and mike might have fell apart, and then fall back together

    Summary

    He came to understand pretty quickly what you probably never did as a kid: that sleepovers were fun because you got to go home at the end of them. The excitement lay in the contrast. If there was no contrast, no home to go to, then pretty soon you were just lying on someone else’s floor. Living in their space. Having to fit your life around theirs.
    --
    Five times there were far too many people living in the Wheeler household for Will's liking, and one time there was just the right number.

    Summary

    Steve’s gaze is heavy in the warm light, pupils expanded from the dark. Jonathan suppresses a shiver as he watches those eyes drop to his lips blowing smoke.

    “Do you like guys?” Jonathan freezes.

    “What?” His words come out close to a whisper.

    “Come on, Byers.”


    In which Steve throws a party, Jonathan stays longer than he means to, and they both find out what can happen when they're left alone together.

    Summary

    “We’re literally about to die and that’s what you’re thinking of?”

    “Do you think I want that sad ass canned soup to be the last thing in my mouth before I die?”

    “The soup wasn’t that bad. I even added mushrooms.”

    “Sure, whatever, but if I want something sweeter on my tongue to accompany me in death, is that really too much to ask? Especially when I know you can give it to me.”

    …

    “Are you really this cruel—”

    “Oh, just shut up. You can have the fucking KitKat.”

    A group of misfits in the zombie apocalypse. Sounds fun, right?

    Or

    Mike has accepted his fate of growing old in their gloomy, annoying settlement, doing the same things over and over, until he died a miserable death. That was until he met a boy named Will. Suddenly, zombies weren’t the scariest thing in the world anymore.

    Summary

    “Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”

    “Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”

    “Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”

    “Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”

    Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

    Summary

    Mike rotates himself to accommodate this, turning his head to the side while looking down at Will, thinking of a best way to kiss him, when Will says, “I told Jonathan about us.”

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

    Summary

    It’s the end of the world but Will’s biggest problem is Mike Wheeler.

    It shouldn’t bother him so much. After all, he’s the one who ripped off the bandaid. He’s the reason they’re not speaking anymore.

    That message gets lost somewhere in translation.

    or

    Will’s never been good at conflict resolution and Mike’s never been good at flirting. Some things just never change.

    Summary

    “How’s your boyfriend?” Mike asked, screwing up his brow as if he didn’t know his name, as if he didn’t fucking hate him. “Carlton or something?”

    “We broke up,” Will said. “About a year ago, actually.”

    Mike sat up straight, so quickly he nearly knocked his beer bottle off the side of the building. He fumbled for it, catching it at the last second. Will pretended he didn’t see, though he didn’t turn his head fast enough for Mike to miss his grin.

    Mike and Will return to Hawkins for their high school reunion.
