Summary
Mike’s hand reaches for the doorknob and Will’s eyes grow wide in apprehension—he can’t go out looking like that. Not that he’s not cute. He just doesn’t look like Mike. At all.
The brunette grabs his boyfriend’s wrist, pulling him back softly.
Mike smiles, surprised when he finds himself in front of Will, “Hey, pretty.”
His words get muffled by Will’s mouth in an instant.
After half the summer of being a witness to this horrible haircut, Will has come to the conclusion that there is no other solution.

Summary
“Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”
Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”
Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?
Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.

Summary
When Connor Bowers comes back to town, it cracks something open. Richie Tozier has spent years running from the truth, hiding behind noise and distance, while Eddie Kaspbrak has learned how to survive by bracing for impact. Connor’s presence forces both of them to confront what they’ve been circling for years—the wanting, the fear, the quiet devastation of watching someone you love choose anything but you. Told through the eyes of the Losers, this is a slow-burn, ensemble fic about denial, displacement, and the summer when love stops being something you can outrun.

Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”
—
Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

Summary
We break apart for a second when Will manages to whisper "Mike."
It already hit him where I’m going with this. But his voice is just so fucking hot when we're kissing, his lips swallowing in red, I can't resist but to reconnect our lips to make him even breathless.
Will brings a hand up to my cheek, resistantly pulling me back to say "Your parents are home."
I bring a hand down to unbolt the first bottom of his flannel "So?"

Summary
Is it possible to die from an over excessive use of eye rolls? Probably not. If it were, Will would’ve been declared dead years ago—long before he ever got to call Mike his boyfriend.
Just let it be known that he’d be at very, very high risk right now if this condition had magically materialised within the past five minutes.OR: Will can't sleep, Mike's across campus, and his RA is definitely (not) hunting him down with a sniper rifle.

Summary
Physical touch is a difficult concept for him, and Will has spent an excruciating amount of time trying to comprehend his own relationship to it.
Flipping as quickly as a light switch, his overbearing amount of desperation to seek out the touch he knows to be safe transforms into reluctance to receive even an ounce of it. One day, Will craves the physical touch like a starving man, and on the next, he despises it, perceives any skin-to-skin contact to be burning him alive.
Certain horrifying memories continuously torment Will, especially during this time of the year. However, no matter how much of a burden Will perceives himself to be, Mike never hesitates to help him through it all.

Summary
In his almost 17 years being alive, Will has learned many things. Very high on that list is that there’s a fine line between “best friend” and “something more.”
Michael Wheeler uses that line like a fucking jump rope.
“You… wish I had saved just you?”
