    Summary

    Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.

    Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.

    aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

    Summary

    Now, Mike had almost three extra years' worth of memories, including the revelation and inevitable acceptance of his feelings for his best friend and the subsequent aftermath of said best friend’s heroic sacrifice.

    “No, no, no, NO! I just got you back! Please, please, Will, please–I can’t lose you, not again! WILL–”

    He remembered the two girls placing their hands on his shoulders, Kali’s sympathetic grip and El’s agonized clench as they gazed down at their adopted brother.

    Now, here he was, the summer it all started going too wrong to right.

    ~~~

    After Will sacrifices himself to defeat Vecna, Mike is sent back in time to the beginning of season 3 to prevent any more tragedy

    Now, he'll do whatever it takes

    For Will.

    Summary

    "It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."

    "You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.

    "Absolutely."

    Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.

    After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.

     

    Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonverbal autistic, and Mike has allusions to also being autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

    Summary

    “Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”

    Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.

    Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.
