“Mike.”
“That’s so—”
“Creepy,” Will finishes.
“Weird,” supplies the girl at the same time.
Mike grins. “Awesome.”
[Or: The one where Willow shows up, and everyone learns a thing or two about universal constants.]

Summary
"The song had long ended by now, but neither of them noticed since they had taken the earphones out. Leaning in, Michelle pressed a small kiss to the tip of Willow’s nose. Maybe after everything was over, and they had defeated Vecna, Michelle would confess properly to Willow. Maybe someday they would be able to love each other in public just as much as they did in private.
Safe to say, Willow wouldn’t have problems sleeping for a while after that night."
Or,
The one where Michelle Wheeler finds Willow Byers crying late at night and decides the best solution is to share everything: her room, her music, and even her heart. (The description is more angsty than the actual fic trust me)

Summary
Oh my goodness,” she whispers, her breath caught in her throat as she chokes on a sob. “I’m a… homosexual?”
“That’s it, Michelle! You’ve taken the first step in your true direction! Everyone, let's congratulate Michelle!” The director cheers, and everyone is clapping, but Michelle can’t stop crying.
“I’m a homosexual!” She screams through tears, feeling suffocated as the group embraces her in a hug.
Or
Concerned that their daughter may be lesbian, Michelle’s parents send her to summer camp hoping they can make her straight again, but meeting Willow puts a wrench in their plans.
Heavily inspired by the 1999 film, “But I’m A Cheerleader”

Summary
Willow Byers has always felt a little out of sync with the other girls her age. Not in any obvious way—just a quiet sort of difference, like a radio station that never quite tunes in right. (...)
It wasn’t that she didn’t care about romance, or relationships, or falling in love—no. She wanted all of it. Just… with another girl....
or: willow byers is just trying to get through high school while ignoring her crush on her childhood best friend, michelle wheeler.

Summary
There’s this moment just before. When your chair tips, or you miss the last step of the stairs. Your stomach twisting, pupils dilating, hands coming out to catch yourself. A moment in which time seems to slow down, when you look down at the ground and you realize you’re helpless to stop it. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you’ll fight it, gravity will win. And you want to fight it, oh, yes, you do, but even the most stubborn people in the world have to admit at some point that they’ve lost this time. There’s nothing to do but accept it. To stop the fight and brace yourself instead.
Slowly, and then all at once, time rushes back.
And you fall.
Alternatively titled: Regulus Black and the mortifying ordeal of falling in love.

Summary
“Where are you going?” Hopper asked.
“My base? Are you guys coming or do you want the flower dogs to eat you?”
“Flower do- oh, demos.”
“What the hell is a demo?”
“Demogorgon? From that game your friends like, ‘Dungeons and Dragons’?”
“I don’t have ‘friends.’” Will said, wrinkling his nose and almost recoiling at the idea. “At least, none I remember.” He whispered, looking away before shaking his head and continuing on the tracks. “And what’s Dungeons and Dragons? It sounds like a fantasy book.”
OR: Will Byers was never rescued from the Upside Down

Summary
Sirius’s thoughts are a slow-moving, impending disaster. How he wants to pin Remus up against the cupboards, to crowd him into a corner; how he wants to intertwine their fingers, to brush his lips against Remus’s forehead, his jaw. Instead, he settles for ducking his head and sliding a finger through the belt loop of Remus's jeans—a ridiculous gesture so utterly intimate, even for the pair of them, that he only allows it because he’s just drunk enough.
“Stop stealing my bloody clothes, Lupin.” He says, very quietly.
Remus looks up at him, eyes dark, and murmurs pleasantly: “Better learn to do your own laundry then, Black. Consider it my fee.”
***
It was an impossible thing, living with Remus Lupin--but Sirius was doing it anyway.

Summary
You see, it is all very sudden and unexpected. When they parted ways after fifth year, Moony was just good old Moony. Soft, warm, a little tattered around the edges; smelling of old books, chocolate, and a light wolfish undertone that Sirius has only been able to pick up on since Padfoot came around. Moony with his comfy, oversized jumpers, his cardigans, of all things (really, what teenage boy wears cardigans?), his common sense, dry wit, and secret wicked humour.
But when they come back for sixth year, Moony is hot. -

Summary
Mike caps the cup and slides it across the pickup counter to Will, following it up with a wrapped straw and his wrapped lemon loaf immediately after. “Medium iced chai with oat milk and brown sugar syrup, and a lemon loaf for yellow flannel guy!”
Will grabs his straw, shooting a disapproving look at Mike as he carefully unwraps it. “Remind me to never wear this flannel in public again.” He grabs his drink, slipping his straw into it with steady hands.
“Nah, it looks nice on you. Don’t let me stop you, Just Will.” Mike is grinning so hard his face hurts. He’s more awake than he was previously, most of his exhaustion washing away throughout this interaction.
Will sighs, his cheeks going slightly red at Mike’s compliment, bringing his straw to his pink lips and taking a small sip. Mike watches Will’s gaze travel down to Mike’s chest, his eyes stopping on his name tag for only a second before they dip slightly lower. His lips quirk up into a small smile as he swallows his sip of chai. “I like your pin, by the way.”
Or
Mike works at the on-campus coffee shop and Will really likes iced chais.

Summary
“'Don’t make me say it.'
The words repeated in his head like a mantra, lower lip trembling as he fought to keep his mouth shut, clung to the hope that the truth wouldn’t slip out.
There was one thing he knew, though; Mike could always see right through him, always knowing exactly what he needed. His body relaxed, his composure crumbled. He tucked his knees under himself and tried to hold his head high—pretended he knew what bravery was when faced with the bravest person he knew."
Before Will goes up against Vecna, there's something Mike needs to ask him.

Tags
Summary
Mike Wheeler can be a good boyfriend. He knows he can. All those hours watching those stupid cheesy romcom movies weren't for nothing, but when push comes to shove, he isn't good enough for Eleven as she spends each day stressed out of her mind about losing. About Vecna. They broke up, and while he isn't happy about it, he also isn't one to give up.
Then he gets the idea. To show Eleven how great of a boyfriend he is with no need to win her back right away.
If he just pretends to date someone else, then he could kill two birds with one stone. It couldn’t just be anyone though, not with the apocalypse and all the upside down shit they were dealing with.
That’s where Will came in.
—
Will Byers is a dreamer. A stupid, love-struck dreamer who can't find it in himself to keep denying a chance to keep the boy of his dreams closer than ever.
He’d never get Mike really, so if he wanted to cling to the closest thing he could get — pretending to date — then who could really blame him?
(Takes place in the eighteen months between season 4 and season 5)

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
Mike’s entire body pulses with frustration. “Because I’m not Tammy Thompson!”
Will can’t breathe. “But–”
“I’m not Tammy Thompson.” Mike’s eyes blaze. “I’m goddamn Mike Wheeler, and I’ve been in love with you since you set my hair on fire in science class when we were ten.” His jaw clenches, and Will feels like someone let off a grenade next to his head. “I realised I was in love with you when you left me for Lenora, and realised you loved me when you made up that bullshit about El asking you to make me the painting.”
Will feels the blood leave his face, feels his entire world shifting in an instant. “Mike–”
“And then you stand there and tell everyone it’s this crush that amounts to the same as some girl who didn’t like Robin back?” Mike’s voice cracks. “I– how am I that to you?”
-------------------
Mike confronts Will after he comes out to the group, because he isn't goddamn Tammy Thompson. -

Summary
“That’s my step brother Will,” El said from somewhere next to Mike, her voice pulling him out of the trance he had found himself in. “He got me the job here, among other things.”
“They look great together,” he replied softly, trying to keep the disappointment from seeping into his voice. Mike knew that not everyone was like him, but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt when he saw someone he couldn’t have.
“Yeah,” El said, sounding just as breathless as Mike felt. “You’d think they were a couple, right?”
At that, Mike turned to her in near disbelief. “Aren’t they?”
El looked back at him with a knowing glint in her eyes. “They’ve always been just friends.”
***
Mike's in for another bummer summer at some stupid resort his family dragged him to when he becomes wrapped up in the responsibilities - and the arms - of a group of staff who are in desperate need of his help. Who knows...maybe he'll end up having the time of his life.

Summary
Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”
Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”
—
Senior year in Hawkins. Will and Mike figure some things out.

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.
