Summary
“That’s not my favorite.”
“Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”
Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.
“Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”
Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.
Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.
Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”

Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

Summary
It's 1997 and the ghost of Mike Wheeler walks back into Will Byers' life twice in one day: first in a Midtown coffee shop, then as the writer assigned to his graphic novel. Eight years of awkward distance now have a deadline. Collaboration is a special kind of torture when the person you're building a world with is the one who broke yours.

Summary
It was easy for Will Byers to fall in love with Mike Wheeler.
The trouble came when he had to pretend it wasn't real.

Summary
What Mike did in the 18 months between S4 and S5. The answer includes: touching, sleeping in the same bed, playing D&D but only the two of them, and Mike casually calling Will beautiful. Best friend shit. Will Byers is toast.
Now expanded to include a very different (gay) Season 5.

“I look for the vampire.”Mike’s face is turned towards him. Will was looking at the ceiling, but he shifts, just enough, his nose points at Mike’s nose. His lips in a line from Mike’s lips. His mouth is slightly open on the pillow. “Do I find him?” Will prompts.
“Yeah,” Mike breathes. “He’s beautiful.”

Summary
"She should have seen the signs sooner in hindsight.
N hadn’t been his usual, cheerful self in weeks… and to say it was becoming concerning would have been the understatement of the century."It was hard to watch.
Uzi's patience could only extend so far; seeing the person she loved most suffering with something he uncharacteristically refused to share with her. So when N finally comes to her with a painful burden, and she realises the true extent of the damage the past has done to him, Uzi resolves to do everything in her power to alleviate his suffering.Bookmarked by whenyrplayingdead
