    Summary

    “Feels nice…”

    Will froze. Absolutely froze.

    His hand was buried in Mike Wheeler’s hair. Mike - who was practically draped over him now - looked blissful. Borderline euphoric. His eyes had fluttered half-shut. There was a tiny, content smile on his lips.

    Will stared down at him, heart doing somersaults.

    “Uh,” Will said intelligently.

    Mike made another sound - soft, almost dreamy - and nudged Will’s hand, encouraging, needy without even realising it.

    Will’s brain short-circuited.

    💕💕💕💕

    The first time Will runs his fingers through Mike’s hair, it’s an accident.

    The second time… maybe not so much.

    Before long, Mike is leaning into every touch, Will is desperately trying not to make it weird, and the Party is very, very done with them.

    Summary

    Nobody expects it to be Mike.

    Everyone is expecting it to be Max or Nancy, who both have already been targeted. Or maybe El, whose childhood in Hawkins Lab makes her the perfect target. Or Will, who has gone through more than enough trauma in the past three years alone for all of them.

    Nobody expects it to be Mike.

     

    Or, the one in which it's Mike, not Will, who Vecna targets.

    Summary

    “We have to kill him,” Mike finishes fiercely, and for a second, Will pictures him in full paladin gear, making the same speech in a castle, or a magical forest, or a dark dungeon. He’s every bit the boy Will’s always known, the one who stands up for his friends and his principles and never, ever backs down. Even when the odds are against them. Even when they’re impossible.

    Will swears that he can feel electricity crackling in the air, Mike’s last sentence settling on the group like a physical weight. Everyone looks impressed: Jonathan, Hopper, even Owens. Will knows the look on his own face must be incredibly obvious, incredibly stupid.

    He doesn’t care. That’s the Mike he knows. That’s the Party’s leader.

    That’s the boy Will fell in love with.

    Summary

    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.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler hides behind a facade to conceal the pain in his heart. He turns to bad habits, secrets, and stays cloaked in the shadows. That is until an all too familiar foe reemerges in Hawkins and preys on those just like him. Those hiding behind masks, plagued by their pain.

    Nobody suspected Vecna would go after Michael Wheeler. Maxine Mayfield, sure. Will Byers? Oh definitely. They’re caught by surprise when Mike Wheeler is targeted and Vecna chases after him like a hunting dog. After all, why give up such easy prey?
