Summary
Mike clears his throat loudly, dragging Will’s attention back from his thoughts. He snaps his eyes up to him, observing the look on his face which lies somewhere between a ‘I’m ready for a gate to the Upside Down to open and swallow me right now.’ and ‘I’m deeply sorry for what I’m about to do next.’
Oh no.
He’s about to do something really stupid.
Or, Mike kisses Will in front of the Party. Naturally, he has to kiss everyone else.

Summary
Will is going to die.
Not how he thought he would. Not in a mess of vines and slime at the end of the world or the razor sharp claws of a Demogorgon.
It'll be his own fault. It'll be punishment for something he tried to bury inside himself. They know what he is and they're doing it in the name of a god that hadn't been there for Will no matter how loud he cried.
Or
Hawkins has been plagued with deaths, disappearances and despair. It's more than a few that have noticed it all changed the night of November 6th 1983. William Byers has been claimed by the devil and will answer to God, one way or another.

Summary
“Hopper doesn’t know I’m gay.”
Jonathan squinted at him, mind prone to lag in the morning. “Why would Hopper not know? You told us as clearly as you could without using the word—”
“He was already on the way to Radio Shack,” Will said in a rush. He gripped his bag tighter so his arms wouldn’t start to flail with panicky emphasis. “He wasn’t there when I came out.”

Summary
Mike can hear the smile in Will's voice when he picks up, and it’s startling how easily he can imagine it.Will, leaning against the wall of his new house. Probably wearing bright colours and flip flops- or whatever it is that Max keeps assuring him everyone in California wears. He knows the exact angles at which Will’s smile tilts, different depending on whether he’s teasing or just excited.
Closing his eyes, Mike tries to remember the angle of El’s smile.
He can't. It troubles him enough to ruin everything.
“Is El there?” he asks. When Will responds, there is no longer a smile in his voice.
Only a couple of Mike's calls to Lenora actually go through, and he never says quite what he means.
Until he does.

Summary
Mike sighs, looking down at his hands. "I always thought I would end up with someone more similar to me, you know? Someone I can talk about, like, hobbies and music and stuff with, without them visibly losing interest halfway through.”
You have more in common with him than El, says the voice in Will’s head. He wonders, briefly, whether it would be weird to shove his face back into the pillow and scream.
Will is definitely not qualified to be giving out any relationship advice. For one, he's never actually dated anyone before. Second, one of the people in said relationship is his sister. And third, the other person is the guy he's sort of in love with. There's no possible way this could backfire. Right?

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.

Summary
“Hey, Mike?” Will asked. “Why now?”
Mike was silent for a long time, so long Will thought he wasn’t going to answer at all. “I just… I don’t know. How can I move on if I don’t know for sure? I can’t stop thinking that if she is out there, if I was right, and I don’t even try to find her, then maybe I really didn’t deserve her.”
A year after graduation, Mike decides to start a search for El and asks Will to come with him. Their friendship hasn't been the same since Will came out and Eleven disappeared, so Will agrees, kicking off a complicated journey that brings them back together. Will is in college, trying to move on, and Mike is idling in Hawkins, torn between his past with El and his confusing feelings for Will. As the search brings them closer than either ever imagined, Will and Mike grapple with first loves, moving on, and growing up together.

to have you in another universe (why aren't you mine in this one?) by wolffromtheshadow for sunspillazure

Summary
Two years after they stopped talking, Will and Mike are doing fine. (If you can call desperately missing each other fine.) Then a spell casted in another universe crashes their fantasy counterparts into their lives and Will and Mike end up stuck helping them find a way back home. Which should be amazing, really, it's their childhood dreams coming true except... William the Wise and Michael the Brave are painfully, devotedly in love. And that would be a lot easier to deal with if Will and Mike didn't have years of unresolved feelings, unsaid confessions and pining between them.
Or: Cleradin get transported to Byler world and what follows is a lot of angst, many interactions between all four of them, Byler drowning themselves in regret and yearning, and Mike Wheeler having at least two serious emotional breakdowns before anyone gets their happy ending.

“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.
