Summary
“I said anything.” Mike laughed. “Come on, you can do better than that. Make me… drink water out of a bowl, or something.”
“Like a dog?”
It was meant to be a joke, but Mike practically short-circuited, his breath hitching as his cheeks flushed pink. Oh my god, he really—
“Okay.” Will focused his gaze intently on Mike, as if he was actually using Jedi mind control powers. “You want… to get on your hands and knees.”
Mike didn’t break eye contact as he slid off the couch and settled onto the hardwood on all fours, peering up at Will as he patiently waited for instruction.
Fuck. This game was going to kill him.
OR
Mike and Will accidentally get into a totally platonic BDSM dynamic. Because that’s what best friends do. Totally.

Summary
“What do you feel, then?”, he whispered, repeating the same question he made before.
Will audibly gasped, his head tilting back to expose his neck even more for Mike.
“Mike,” he groaned, open mouthed and assisted by his constant panting.
In response to that, Mike gripped hard on his shoulder with his fingertips, his palm still lying flat on his clavicle and his thumb a little higher, pressing down on his neck.
“I just want to understand you better”, Mike breathed into his ear, then he was driven back down.
They couldn’t get enough.
or, when Will comes back from Lenora, he’s still very upset with Mike , who, later on, finds out Will is a lot more sensitive than normal on his neck.

Summary
Michael kisses Will’s neck again and again and between sickly desperate breaths he says, ‘I am yours.’
I wish you were, Michael.
I wish you were Mike.
Clasping his forearm, Michael pushes Will further into the bed, opening his mouth and biting down, the sweet velvet pain registering on Will’s neck.
Will turns to stone, fear he felt coming for hours finally finding its precipice, a spot to fully expose its understanding; that all of this shouldn’t have been felt so acutely if it were simply just a dream.It’s the summer of 1986, and Mike’s running a new D&D campaign. Later that night, after everyone’s gone home and Mike asks Will to sleep in his room, Will dreams of a Paladin from another world, decked in armor and brave enough to touch him.
The next day, Mike finds himself waking in this other world, too, facing a Cleric who acts a lot like Will.
Neither of them know the other harbors the same secret; that they are dreaming of each other.
Bravebyers/Wheelwise/Cleradin.

Will Byers and the Chronicles of Áldalr: The Cleric, the Paladin, and the Sorceress by BinMendes
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
11 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
For centuries, the prophecy of Vaeltharim remained forgotten in the ruins of Näströnd, awaiting the rightful heir to the Throne of Áldalr. Destiny had already been set: the firstborn would carry the blood necessary to restore the balance of Zemlya.
Edward Wheeler, blinded by ambition to see his lineage crowned, sealed a pact with King James Hopper. His child would marry the king’s firstborn descendant—supported by the promise of a witch who had prophesied the birth of a daughter, a sorceress of unparalleled power.
The oath was sworn before the gods.
What Edward did not foresee was that Jane Hopper would be born hours after James’s true firstborn: Prince William.
Fearing the loss of the future he had crafted, he intervened.
He altered the order.
He rewrote records.
He attempted to circumvent destiny itself.
But Will and Mike’s fate had been woven long before Edward Wheeler walked the earth—spoken for the first time thousands of years before their birth.
And nothing could erase it.

Summary
When Will Byers died closing the Gate, he expected his end to be the harrowing cold of the Upside Down to consume him.
Instead, he woke in a kingdom of ancient forests, forgotten magic and ferocious foes, mistaken for a prince whose grieving brother refuses to let him go, and whose childhood friend—a devoted young paladin—cannot bring himself to look away.
Michael knows this frightened stranger isn't the William he buried. Will knows he isn't the prince everyone hoped for. Yet as one searches for footing in a foreign land and the other struggles to let go of the past, both may finally find the one thing they've been longing for all along.

Summary
To become a paladin, one must devote himself to something, or... someone, through an oath that is unbreakable. It is a sacred bound, coming from the depth of his heart, allowing him to tap into a divine magic that rests within him.
Mike Wheeler had known all his life that this was who he wanted to be. An honorary fighter, a knight for justice; honest, courageous and kind. He longed for adventure, for a sense of purpose.
When fate gives him an opportunity, he leaves his small hometown and journeys to the mighty capitol city of the Kingdom of Hawkins, where everything he sees is new and different to him.
With the help of a kindhearted sorcerer named Will, he learns more and more about the world everyday. His quest begins.OR
The DnD inspired cleradin fantasy AU fic that we all deserve!
I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoy writing it! xNOTE: Since Will is now canonically considered a sorcerer in Season 5, I will be adressing him as such :p the "Cleric" in the title is for cleradin aesthetic purpose only!

Summary
Come, the ground murmurs, echoing in the soles of his bare feet, in the grain of his bones. There are vines there, crawling just under the thin layer of dirt, reaching ever-outward to the sky. He should feel cold, shouldn't he? Should feel the painful press of the ground on his bare skin. Come, the sky echoes, an enticing tune. Where, Will doesn't wonder, because all is whole and the same to the swarm, the pull of it steady, a magnetic force that doesn't need to be questioned, a True North-
“Will,” he hears Mike say, a whisper in the darkness, and it sounds like rain but kind, a soft drizzle, sounds like low lamplight buzzing in a basement full of his childhood drawings, sounds like home, a sin of thought. “Will, you're scaring me,” Mike says, voice soft and pleading.
Or: At the edge of the end of the world, people are going missing, the sky bleeds ash, and Will Byers can't seem to run forever.

Summary
Before he leaves, Mike peers into the hall, looking around to check if anyone is around, before rushing back to Will’s side and pressing their lips together again. This time Will realizes it’s coming in time to close his eyes, like people who kiss on tv do. He feels Mike smile against his lips and he smiles back automatically.
Mike’s face is grinning and flushed when he backs away, saying, “I’ll be back tomorrow!”
Maybe Will should be upset by the secrecy, but it’s actually relieving, because Mike definitely does understand. He understands what this is, and that no one else can know, and that it won’t be easy, and he wants to kiss Will anyway. He wants to be crazy with him anyway.
Crazy together.
~~~~~
Or, Will and Mike get together in season 2 because I thought it would be cute.

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
“You should go back to sleep”, Mike mutters, but Will’s eyes are already flying over his face, and he is probably taking in the embarrassing number of tears, and the sweaty hair sticking onto his forehead and—
“You’re bleeding”, Will whispers, and then, as if the realization strikes just now as he says it out loud, his voice increases in volume, but shakes harder all the more, “Mike, there’s— there’s blood pouring from your mouth.”
Mike would have been perfectly content with never exploring the depth of his repressed feelings, if it wasn't for the deadly flowers blooming in his lungs.

Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”
Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”
Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has survived monsters, alternate dimensions and the literal end of the world.
Unfortunately, he has no idea how to survive Will Byers in New York; confident, teasing, and somehow making Mike's dick develop a mind of its own.
A list. A rating system. Zero self-control.
It's just an experiment.
Definitely not a way to avoid admitting he's in love with his best friend.
Or: Mike Wheeler gets hit with the world's worst gay panic, and Will Byers has been waiting years to enjoy the show.

“Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”
Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”
The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.

Summary
"Tell me a secret?"
Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.
Will is a terrible person.
I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.
"I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."
Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.
"Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."
or
They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.
