Virtually plotless crossover of some of the fandoms I've been in the past three years. Aka the stupidest thing I've ever written but also somehow my best writing yet.

Why won't you ever know (that I'm in love with you?) by 16mirror

Summary
“There’s just one thing–”
Will’s shoulders tense, “Yeah?”
“You said- you said you had a crush–”
Will's heart skips. He had anticipated this, but he wasn’t expecting Mike to confront him so soon. He swallows, shifting uncomfortably on the couch. “Yeah. I did.”
“Cool. Cool, right.. So.. you don’t- you don’t like him anymore?”
“Does it matter?”
“Yes!” Mike says a little too quickly, a little too loud. "Yes, it matters. It matters to me.”

Summary
if you want to be loved, love
There’s a monster with gaping jaws in Mike’s chest, and it is desire; there’s a prophetic oblivion calling his name, and it is want. Both are the root of sin, and both have dug deep into his guts and veins and ink-black blood.
Will, however, seems to waver in that gray space between good and evil, virtue and sin: even his appearance marks this, with his hair that flickers between dark chocolate and ruddy blond in his light, eyes a dark brown spiked through with crushed bits of bright green, skin tanned to a nice shade contrasting with the iridescent light of his tattoos. In his strict adherence to the ways of the Holy One, he’s somehow managed to fall a bit from grace, and the messages he gives, though mixed, are comforting to Mike.
You are not beyond redemption, he seems to say with each meeting and conversation and glint in his eyes, and I am not beyond sin.
After being forced to tend to souls in the wasteland between Heaven and Hell, Mike is given a mission: deceive an angel into leading him to the gates of Heaven.

Summary
It's 2006, and Will is living in Chicago with his boyfriend, Robbie. Robbie invites the party over for Will's 35th birthday, unaware of how their lives would unravel when Will and Mike reunite.
Heavily inspired by my favorite song "I'd Have To Think About It" by Leith Ross:
"And if you come to me
When I've promised to commit
If you told me that you loved me
And asked me for a kiss
Well, I'd at least have to think about itYou are my Achilles' heel
The weakness only I can feel
I've been a liar and you've been a pill
But I'd still have to think about it"Bookmarked by 16mirror

Summary
After Mike unwittingly stumbles into a series of interpersonal bombshells, he immediately sets out to find Will so he can find out what, exactly, that painting meant, and why Will lied about it. Unfortunately, Mike is obsessively obstinate and relentless to a fault, and he'll go to the literal ends of the earth to get the answers he needs.

Mike, What Did You Do? (the Curse of Strahd) by ByeDisaster

Summary
Answering the question of "wtf did Mike do" (thanks tumblr) in the 18-months between S4 and S5 to make Will go from crying in the van, to thinking he has a shot.
The answer includes: touching, sleeping in the same bed, playing D&D but only the two of them, a haircut, and Mike casually calling Will beautiful. Best friend shit. Will Byers is toast.
---
“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.”
