Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don't count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It'll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
“I need like– actionable steps. ‘Act normal’ is too vague.”
Will sighs and reaches over to turn the radio down even quieter.
“Ok for one, stop staring at my mouth,” Will says.
Mike glances over at him automatically.
Will laughs. “See? That’s exactly what I mean. You’ve been doing it for years, but now it’s like…it’s a lot, Mike. People are gonna notice.”
“But I wanna kiss you,” Mike whines.
It’s been a week since Mike and Will got together – one blissful week, like a honeymoon before the wedding. Now they’re in Montauk for Joyce and Hopper’s, surrounded by friends and family, and trying to fly under the radar. Somewhere along the way, Mike realizes he doesn’t want to hide anymore.
Or, two horny idiots in love struggle to keep their relationship hidden.

Summary
In the end, it doesn’t matter. None of it fucking matters. Because what’s really in control is the tension. This elusive string tied between their chests that’s always changing length. Right now it’s so short and taught and strong that Will can’t imagine resisting it. So really, it was never a matter of if he would. Just when. When will he fold? When will he let go and let himself follow Mike into the water?
He dares to glance down at his knees, where he can see Mike’s fingers peeking out from behind his calves (as if he needed that visual reminder that they’re touching), and then back up to meet Mike’s expectant gaze.
He’s going to do it. He’s such a fucking idiot.
OR
Mike & Will have a long overdue conversation on the way back to Hawkins— by, in, and around a random motel pool.

Summary
Will can’t allow himself the luxury of a wet dream tonight, so he wills for Mike to stop moving.
Mike does not stop moving.
Will frowns, mustering up more focus, sharpening his control.
Mike still doesn’t stop, but he lets out an annoyed whine. “What’s fucking tugging at me right now?”
What.
“I’m—trying to stop you. Stop.” Will’s voice comes out warped and distant, unused to being spoken out loud in the dreamscape.
Mike stops moving, as instructed, breathing heavily against Will’s open mouth. “Why? Isn’t this—isn’t this just a dream? Come on.”
Huh?!
What is Will’s subconscious trying to achieve right now?—or—
Will's powers have been acting up lately, thanks to the stress of college and a part time job.
He finds solace in his usual lucid dreams. Except, suddenly — they get clearer. More vivid. More out of control.
Will assumes it’s just his subconscious working through some very obvious problems.
Mike assumes he’s just having weird sex dreams about his best friend because he’s stressed and pent-up.Neither of them realizes they’re sharing them.

Summary
“We’ll call as much as we can! Bye, we love you!” What–
“Oh! Love you too, Mike.” Joyce responded, shocked. “Love you too, Will!”
Will was openly laughing now. “Love you, Mom, bye,” He waved as the car pulled away from the cabin.
Mike’s cheeks burned red hot. He couldn’t be certain, but he’s pretty sure that he just told his best friend’s mother and the local sheriff he loved them.
Will turned toward Mike, buckling his seatbelt. “I didn’t know you were so close with my parents.”
“Shut up, please,” Mike mumbled.
The crunching gravel evened out to smooth pavement as they pulled back onto the main road. The car whirred slightly as Mike sped up, and Will’s laughter caught in the summer air blowing through the windows.Or
The summer before college, Mike and Will take a road trip. Along the way, they’ll face the grief of losing someone you love, the guilt of continuing to live on without them, and the desire to bridge the great divide together.

Summary
“Mike. You've not eaten since this morning,” he says, not a question. “Haven't you?”
Michael does not answer at once. Dustin, mercifully, is too occupied to notice, halfway through devouring his potatoes, cabbage forgotten at his side. Holly hums quietly over her stew, content. “It is of no matter,” Michael says at last.
“You should eat,” Will says softly. “Why haven't you?”
“I am well.”
“That was not my question.”
Michael’s gaze flickers to him, something unreadable passing through it, then warming, just slightly. “Cleric,” he says, low, as though the word itself were an answer.
Will exhales, quiet. “You cannot tend to others if you do not tend to yourself.”
“I manage,” Michael murmurs.
“You endure,” Will corrects, saddened. “That is not the same, and you know it.”
Or: My Cleradin au where there's an absurd amount of plot and paladin Mike needs to learn to keep his hands to himself because he's a little too down bad for his pretty cleric he swore an oath to

Summary
“It’s not my fault that it took me so long to figure myself out,” Mike says thickly, no longer angry, instead just barely holding back tears as he repeats the sentiment that Debbie has spent so long trying to get him to believe. He’s not sure why this is the thing pushing him towards accepting it as truth, but he means it when he says it—means it, too, when he continues with, “It’s not my fault that it was hard for me to understand how I felt. It’s not my fault that I didn’t realize what it was until after you moved on. That’s not—that’s not my fault, Will.”
mike's queer journey happens a little later than will's. that doesn't mean it's any less real or valid. or: 4 of mike wheeler's birthdays and the ways things change.

"And what does God do?" The Reverend leans forward, gripping the edges of the pulpit. One hand raised towards the crowd, others reaching forward with pained expressions, lips moving in urgent whispers—pleading, begging, some of them crying.
Mike watches them pray for salvation.
They can’t all be saved.

A conflict of interest (in your orbit) by wheezingwheeler

Summary
"They were satellites in unstable orbit, trying desperately not to collide while being pulled toward each other anyway."
Will Byers thought he'd buried his feelings for Mike Wheeler somewhere between Hawkins and Chicago. Then Mike walks into his life again, and eight years of distance collapse into nothing.
What starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them can name - desperate encounters, painful misunderstandings, emotional manipulation, and Mike's inability to reconcile who he is.
When Mike finally stops running, he might just be too late.

Summary
A post-canon (with some small tweaks) road trip full of tension, nightmares, gay panic, and a very long drive toward the truth.
*
Will just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn’t plan on sharing motel beds, surviving Mike Wheeler’s jealousy spiral, or confronting feelings he’s spent years burying.
Mike thinks Will likes girls.
Will thinks Mike will never love him back.
Both of them are wrong.Or
Water dripped from Will's hair, ran down his jaw, caught on his lips.
Mike stared at it.
Stared like he'd forgotten where he was.
Then, slowly he lifted a towel and pressed it gently to Will's mouth, wiping the water away. His hand didn't even shake. He was steady.
Will's breath stuttered. Tingles tremored all the way up his spine.
He didn't move. He couldn't. He was too aware of Mike's hand, of the way his eyes kept dropping back to his lips.
That look again.
The one Will had seen a dozen times now and never understood.

Summary
All at once, he was an angel, shy and soft and ready. Completely Mike’s. Mike couldn’t believe they were doing this – that Will was letting him do this. It was the best of dreams.
Mike and Will had a tradition. When they did something for the first time, they did it together. Firsts were their thing. Mike takes this very, very seriously.

What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.

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.

i hate accidents (except when we went from friends to this). by burgundyshirts
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.

Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.
