Summary
Mike watches the rise and fall of Will’s back, and an idea trickles in through the window, raindrops against the glass—both comforting and impossible to ignore. He could wrap his arm around Will and pull him into his chest. He could align their breathing because his own words from moments ago are already haunting him: Maybe we want different things.
Maybe Mike is right. Maybe he wants to live in Los Angeles and make music and perform in front of audiences; maybe Will is okay with a quiet life on the farm, where he can ride horses and paint on top of the grassy hill.
And well damn, Mike about needs to hop out of bed right this instant and get his guitar because if someone hasn’t written a song about the way he’s feeling right now, someone needs to.
_________________________A Byler AU inspired by The Hannah Montana Movie (2009)
Mike Wheeler's debut album is a hit. But on tour, the creativity dries up, and LA is getting to his head. His parents force him to spend the summer at his family's Indiana farm. Which is enough of a problem, but Mike has another, more serious issue: his childhood best friend, Will, got hot. Like really hot.

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don't count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It'll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
“So. I was about to—you know.” His voice drops. “Go down on Carlton.”
Oh.
Ouch.
Mike’s imagination has been torturing him for the better part of the last hour about this exact topic, but hearing it confirmed through Will's own lips still feels like a stab straight through his heart.
“But as soon as I touched him, I don’t know—it was just too much.” Will gestures helplessly. “And then boom. The whole dorm went dark.”
Silence.
Mike forgets how to blink.
Or
Will can't hook up with anyone without risking a campus-wide blackout. Mike decides the obvious solution is to run some trial experiments. And ever the noble paladin, volunteers himself as the test subject. All in the name of science of course.

Summary
“We need to get less mainstream. We need more rumors. We need controversy.”
“Okay,” Will says. “So what, you wanna share a microphone again?”
“No,” Mike says, shaking his head, expression deadly serious. “No, we need to escalate.”
Will swallows hard. “What do you mean?”
Mike shrugs, suddenly lowering his gaze, shifting his weight a little. “I think we should kiss.”
Mike and Will are in a band together and decide to make out on stage. To be controversial, of course. No other reason.

Summary
"Need a light?" MJ looks down at the joint in Will's hands, confused.
"Oh, right now?" Will startles, looking at the door handle.
"Are you always this jumpy? Man, you really need this, huh? C'mere." Will hesitates. MJ sighs, reaching for the joint in Will's lap and feeding it to him.
He sparks the lighter and holds it to the end of the freshly rolled joint. Will watches his eyes on the flame, unsure what to do next. "Breathe in." MJ demands through an airy laugh, waiting for the end of the joint to glow before leaning back in his seat.

Summary
He gapes as they separate, and before he can stop himself, he blurts out, “Did– did you just–”
They turn to him, the paladin scrunching his brow in annoyance, and the words die on his tongue. Maybe it’s his head, maybe he really is going insane, but Mike knows what he just saw, and suddenly a couple other moments click into place in his brain– a place only for us, sleep alone tonight, we would not be wed were I truly a prince–
“Wait, are you guys dating?”
Will blinks at him, the same bemused expression from before on his face. Michael looks a little taken aback, as though this wasn’t what he was expecting, but for the first time all day, a hint of a smile flickers over his lips. “‘Dating’?” He echoes, almost challenging. “No, we are far past courtship. William and I were wed months ago.”
Somehow, out of all of the ridiculous, incredible, out-of-this-world things Mike has seen in the past couple hours, this one is by far the hardest for him to believe.
Out of all the insane things that have happened to Mike Wheeler, waking up in a parallel universe face-to-face with his own DND character just might take the cake.

Summary
Steve looks between the four identical faces. “You’re not even a little curious?” he asks. “About how your other lives are going?”
“No,” Mike answers, immediate.
Too immediate.
Mike with the eyebrow ring snorts. The one in the tracksuit glances at Will again—just a flick of the eyes. The knight folds his hands behind his back and looks at the first Mike like he’s deeply disappointed.

Summary
Mike points between them again, eyes bright now with unmistakable fascination. “You’re literally the same person.”
“Mike.”
“That’s so—”
“Creepy,” Will finishes.
“Weird,” supplies the girl at the same time.
Mike grins. “Awesome.”

Summary
Sir Michael tilted his head, squinting at Will. Without warning, his hand came to cup Will's cheek, turning his skin at least ten degrees warmer. "He looks like you," Sir Michael continued, "and he has your name. Your moles, too."
His thumb came down to brush the mole over Will's top lip. The touch felt soft, strangely reverent. "My— moles?"
Mike had the same sentiment, albeit with more displeasure. "His moles?"
Will makes a wish. Sir Michael the Brave comes to fulfill it, but Mike Wheeler makes his wish come true.

Summary
“Is … Will, is there someone there with you?”
The answer was immediate. “No! God, Mike, no. If Hopper found out, he would kill the guy that was here. It’s just … and don’t make a big deal out of it or anything, but, um, I was drawing - ha, it’s kinda - well, uh, you. I’m drawing you.”
“Oh.” Mike said it before he had a chance to process what Will had said. And before he even knew what he was saying next, he asked, “What am I wearing in the drawing?”
“Uh, well it’s realism, and I’m practicing, like, body positioning, so - um, nothing. You’re not wearing anything.”
or
It's the summer after graduation, and Mike comes up with a special D&D campaign - one that only him and Will can play. One where they kiss and touch and … well, you know.

Summary
Will Byers returns to Hawkins when his mother, finally stable, asks him to come back for good. Starting his third year of high school in a town that is both familiar and completely different, Will has to relearn where he fits.
He reconnects with Lucas and is pulled into his circle, Dustin, Max, and Mike Wheeler who also happens to be a vampire.
Max grinned. "He seems like a baby type to me. Mike."
Will groaned into his open locker before swinging it shut and turning to face her. "That's so basic. Love at least sounds nice."
"Beloved, honestly," Dustin said, from directly beside Will's other shoulder, where he had apparently been standing. "You're both severely underestimating his corniness. Beloved is completely within range."
"Beloved is not corny," Will said, and then before anything in him could intervene: "He called me angel once."

Looking at castle Byers, he's not too sure what he's looking at for a moment. it reads "Here lies William Jacob Byers, beloved friend, brother, and son. 1971-1983." But he wasn't dead. He was right here. They couldn't have found a body because as poorly as he felt at the moment, he was still alive. Still breathing.
He's going to be sick.

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.
