Summary
"He was over Mike.
He was over it.
Okay?
He cried like a gay blubbering sweet angel in the Surfer Boy van, what, five whole months ago?
Pssh, old news. Mike Wheeler? Who even is that? How do you even spell that?
Never heard of him.
Okay, he’s joking, obviously.
But really, he was over his, um. His silly little crush."
In the time after the apocalyptic events of Stranger Things 4, Will Byers and Mike Wheeler find their way to each other in the way they were always meant to, and are under the incredibly false impression that they do so in a covert fashion. The results of their actions have unforeseen consequences, and shenanigans ensue. To which, as Dustin would say: “Son of a bitch!"

Summary
Mike was now clenching his jaw so hard it hurt, feeling his body heat up all over in a temperamental rage, so close to its boiling point, as he felt it all about to spill out. His fists were clenched at his sides now, his nails pressed painfully into his palms. His tongue behind his teeth was threatening to form words he knew he would regret.
And he knows that if one more word should spill from Will's lips, he wouldn't be able to swallow those words down and tuck them into his stomach where they belong. Where nobody can gaze upon them with judging eyes, or tease him for them as he watched Will be teased all their younger years. -

Summary
[COMPLETED!!]
Note: Someone accused this fic of being ai generated. I despise ai and it was not used in the making of this fic.A man rounded the corner, mid-sip of coffee.
He looked to be in his late forties. Stubble lining his jaw. There were faint lines around his eyes—earned ones, the kind that came from years of squinting at sunlight or laughing too hard.
He took one look at them—
—and stopped dead.
The ceramic mug slipped slightly in his grip.
For a long, suspended second, nobody breathed.
The man’s eyes—warm brown, familiar brown—locked onto Mike’s face.
His hand began to shake.
Slowly, carefully, like the cup might explode if he moved too fast, he set the coffee down on a nearby table.
And Mike understood.
-or-
1989 Mike and Will stumble into 2025 where they're happily married, living with their daughter.

Summary
“Where will we go?” Will breathed, his sniffling slowing down.
“Anywhere. Everywhere,” he murmured.
“We should stay in the wilderness, camp, see the stars, visit all the best places,” he said in a quiet voice.
Mike nodded, “I want to see the Grand Canyon.”
“And Yosemite,” Will added thoughtfully.
“And Yosemite,” Mike agreed, a small smile gracing his face.
“Okay will, now we have to promise to make it happen, some day, when we are old enough to leave this place. Promise me Will?” Mike pleaded in that voice that was only reserved for Will, the darkness of night making him vulnerable in a way that nothing else ever could.
“I promise,” Will muttered quietly into Mike’s neck, the warmth of his breath brushing faintly against it, making Mike shiver.

Mike wheeler and Will Byers haven’t spoken for three years. One day Mike shows up at Wills door begging him to come on the road trip they planned when they were sixteen. They camp across America, feelings get messed up and they have to share a tiny tent -

Summary
Will touched his cheek in concern. “You okay, Mike?”
Mike managed a jerky nod. “Yeah, fine. You’re just…” He broke off to clear his throat and finally lifted his hands to place them on the small of Will’s back. His skin was smooth and warm. Mike’s thumb moved with the dip in his spine, tracing along the curve. “You know.” Hot and on top of me.
Will smiled, pleased at that. “I do know,” he said loftily, and Mike got the sense he really did, and frequently used it against him to get his way. “But I like it when you tell me.”
Mike wakes ten years in the future, a successful novelist and in a committed relationship with Will.

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

Summary
Dustin and Lucas were on night watch so it’s just him and Mike in the room. Having fallen asleep early, both tired from the supply run they were on earlier today, Will passed out as soon as his head hit the pillow only to be woken up a couple of hours later to pressure on his ass.
It took a moment to orientate himself. Used to waking up to noise and vibration but not touch. He was pressed up tight to the wall like usual, which usually gave him inches of space between himself and Mike. But not right now.
Because Mike had scootched across the bed and was spooning Will from behind. His bare chest pressed alongside Wills exposed back, one arm slung over his waist as he mumbled into the back of his head.
Will’s about to ask Mike what was going on when he felt it. The consistent thrusting of Mike’s hips against the swell of his bum. His words die in his mouth as he registered that Mike was asleep. Soft moans spilled from his lips and the hard pressure of his dick stuttered against Will.

Summary
"Why do you keep saying that?"
"Saying what?"
