Summary
“It doesn’t matter if it takes a hundred more crawls,” Mike says, planting his hands against the table. “A thousand! We don’t stop until we’re goddamn sure that wrinkled, rotting, noseless bastard is dead and gone and never coming back.”
Will’s smiling, now, looking reassured. And Mike’s saying it for El’s sake, but also Will’s. Max’s. Eddie’s, too. Everyone who’s been hurt by this monster, who won’t be able to sleep at night with even the slimmest chance that he might still be out there.
He has to do something. And until there’s a better plan, or more information to go off of, this is the only option.
He puts his hand out above the table. “Everyone in?”
Lucas, looking determined, slaps his palm on top of Mike’s. Then Will. Then, when there’s only one of them left, they turn to look at Dustin.
Dustin’s mouth twitches to the side. His torn Hellfire shirt ripples in the late-autumn breeze. “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter,” he says. His voice is low, almost scarily detached. Like he has nothing left to lose. “Just wish I could do it myself.”

Summary
This is the first girl who’s ever asked Mike out — something he had, in the not too distant past, been terrified would never happen. And Mike just stands there, feeling like his dining hall dinner is about to crawl back up his esophagus.
Jeremy, Saint Jeremy, nudges him with an elbow. “He’s kind of private about it, but Mike actually has someone back home.”
Mike turns his head to look at Jeremy, expecting a knowing smile or the hint of a wink. But Jeremy actually looks sincere, which makes Mike’s eyebrows sink down, almost to the top of his nose.
“Will, right?” Jeremy supplies, forever trying to be helpful. “He’s at CalArts?”

Summary
"I live in your house, Mike," he said, crossing his arms defensively. "I thought you'd already have enough of me."
"I don't." Will jumped at Mike's voice, head whipping back around to face him. "Come on, Will! You talk to Holly more than you do me. You're always doing those— those ugly craft projects with her, and I didn't even know you liked crafts, and I didn't know you liked Holly more than me, either. I don't know anything about you."
Will blinked at him, mouth agape. "They're not ugly," he said, weakly.
"They are." Mike glared at Will harder. "See? I didn't know you lied now, either."
The Byers spend their first year with the Wheelers. Will learns how to handle Mike, and Mike learns how to handle change.

It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

“Yeah, you said that but I’m having trouble understanding.”
“What’s there to understand?” Will asks him.
Mike contemplates, then says “Why you’re so quick to defend me.”
Oh, he’s so fucked. Beyond fucked, even. If there’s such a thing.

Summary
Above her, with those feather-light fingers brushing sweaty hair away from Thirteen’s forehead, Allison Cameron stared back. Her pupils were blown wide.
“How did I do?” she asked breathlessly.
Or, Cameron is one of Thirteen's hookups in early season 5. Pining, self-destruction, and lesbianism ensues.

Summary
Cameron realizes 'annoyance' doesn't really describe how she feels about her gorgeous new 'replacement'. Meanwhile Thirteen realizes the beautiful head of ER may be less 'happily engaged' than either thought.
We cuck Chase for the fun of it ( Cameron doesn't want to be a cheater, I promise it makes sense )
________________________________________
Set around S4E12, disregarding anything occurring during/after “House’s Head”
Specifically stems from the scene in which House tells Cameron she misses him and she disagrees, and the statement that he’d fire Thirteen or Kutner to get her back.
Important note: I misunderstood the start of S4 and thought Cameron and Chase were engaged so I guess we run with it??Very loosely themed after Hozier’s It Will Come Back, the current title may be changed!

“This,” Mike said, stepping forward.
“This thing where I keep—giving you everything I have. Where I spend half my time worrying about you, trying to make things a little less awful for you—for years. And you just—”
He stopped himself with a harsh breath, dragging his palms over his eyes until it hurt.Will stood there, his eyes already glassy. He looked like he didn’t know where he was anymore. Like this wasn’t the room he thought he’d stepped into.
“I didn’t ask you for any of that,” he said finally. His voice was small. Trembling. But it landed like a knife.Mike flinched. Just barely. Then his voice cracked like a whip.
“But you took it. You took all of it.”

“You said I was bad at managing my time between my girlfriend and my best friend but you’re basically doing the same thing.”
“Girlfriend?!” Will spits out, thoroughly shell-shocked.
“I don’t get it! You could’ve told me you had a crush on someone, I would’ve—and when did you ever talk to Robin? You move to California and all of a sudden you’ve got all these girls hanging off of you and you’re interested in older girls—“ Mike’s voice embarrassingly cracks. He decides to quit while he’s ahead before he delves into the forbidden.
In the wake of the apocalypse, Mike and Will find their way to each other.

Summary
Inhale, exhale. She grips the edge of the table (in approximately twelve years, give or take, she’ll lose control of the nerves in her hands, and she won’t be able to hold a cup of coffee, much less do this). Tears sting in her eyes (in maybe less time than that, she’ll lose all ability to regulate her emotions, and if she’s planned well, she’ll be alone when that happens so no one has to carry this after she’s long gone and be fucked up by it for life). Her throat is tight (at some point, she won’t be able to breathe) —

“You’re distracting.”
“Huh,” Wilson manages. His hands tense on his folded arms. “Is it my dazzling good looks?”
“You’re an anomaly,” he replies immediately in a snarl.
“I’m- I’m so sorry, I’ll try to avoid 'being an anomaly' next time.”
