Summary
"Do you remember hitting your head?" His voice comes softer now, as his hands reach into Mike's hair to part it, exposing the nape of his neck.
"I do, it was the same place i got these burns" Mike straightens himself up more, rolling his shoulders back, feeling out of place not looking at who he is speaking to.
William's hand come's up Mike's neck, resting at the base of Mike's head.
"Do you mind telling me about it?" Williams hand is cold, shockingly so.

Mike finds, he has to start asking himself where his loyalties lie. -

Summary
His eyes drift further, latching to what they always do. It’s an awkward angle to stare at the painting Will had gifted him from, but he always finds himself in this position.
Will’s art was beautiful, always has been, Mike still has a binder full of drawings he was either gifted or managed to get his hands on, they date back to when they were only five. He loves them all the same.
But this painting.
It’s something more. At least, to Mike it is.
OR-
This is about Mike and Will predominantly, and their journey through coping with the grief of Jane’s death while in college. For Mike it’s also dealing with layers of guilt surrounding her death, and his feelings for Will. It takes them time, and Mike might even make friends with a surprisingly helpful roommate, who helps him cope better and learn to accept things.

Summary
"You're in a good mood" Will giggles when Mike starts to attack his face with kisses. Mike hums placing a particularly long kiss right above his lip.
"It's Valentine's Day tomorrow" Mike pulls away with a loud smacking noise sounding through the room.
If you told anybody now that Mike Wheeler used to be Valentine's Day number one hater, they would never believe you.
"Mm, indeed it is.." Will grins, threading one hand through Mike's hair, which he had grown out since they moved. Will couldn't be more grateful, the length is perfect for him to loop his finger through and twist it around like a high-schooler on the telephone.
—
Pure fluff of Mike and Will having dinner in their shared apartment while in college on Valentine’s Day, because they love each other. Also Mike likes to serenade Will.

Summary
“No- no, im the one who keeps fucking up, i keep making all these mistakes and pushing you away— and now you live twelve hours away and- and you’ve probably already met some guy named Carlton who treats you better than i ever could— so maybe the fact that your so far away is a good thing!”
Will looks up at Mike, slightly perplexed. His eyes are swimming with concern but there's a very thin layer of amusement sparkling in them.
“Carlton?” A small barely there smile splits onto Will’s face.
Or
I started writing this right after watching the finale. I believe in ambiguous byler i will never hop off this ship. Somehow blood became a thing?

Summary
“You dont get it Mike, i cant have you do this to me- because i need you, and i cant need you because if i need you then you’ll get hurt— he showed me- he showed me” Will grips onto the front of Mike's jacket.
Mike blinks, clearly processing everything that's been happening since he stepped outside.
“Vecna? Vecna showed you me getting hurt?” Mike leans in slightly, grabbing Will's arm.
Or
I believe theres a reason Will called Mike his Tammy, and i hope Mike is smart enough to pick up on Will’s word choices to try and shoot his shot at the end of the world. But it doesn’t go entirely to his plan, but they figure it out.

Summary
“Did it hurt?” He leaned in, looking more closely.
“Well yeah.” Mike laughed nervously. “Still does actually, kind of throbs."
“It looks... really good.” Will’s stare unfixed from the piercing and took in Mike as a whole. His baggy black t-shirt over a tighter long sleeve waffle knit shirt that covered his arms, loose jeans, silver rings, chipped nail polish. And the newest addition: A shiny silver bar bisecting his eyebrow, the skin around it still a little angry.
“When did you get so cool?” Will tilted his head, scrunching his nose. Mike's heart picked up speed.
Mike checked his watch. “About an hour ago when this big dude stabbed me in the face.” With nonchalance that would be squandered instantly if Will caught a glimpse of his pulse. Will laughed a little too hard, eyes lingering on Mike’s face a little too long.
~
Mike and Will are finally free of Hawkins and all its literal and metaphorical monsters. Mike is on a self acceptance journey, experimenting with his identity in college, and Will tries to keep it in his pants. In other words, the childhood best friends to lovers situationship final boss with a destined happy ending.

r/DnD
u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]
Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

Summary
Grief is a strange thing. Even if Mike didn’t love El— Jane, like he should have, it was still hard for him to move on. So, he ran, he cut off the people in his life and ran away. He planned to deal with his shame, alone, until Nancy dragged him back to Hawkins for the holidays. Now, forced to face his neglected feelings, Will, and the rest of the party, he learns to come to terms with himself.
Or Mike is a stupid fag who fell in love with a beautiful soul he doesn’t deserve and it’s Christmas or something

Summary
“Well, this sucks for Dustin,” Will jokes as he slips the shotgun off his shoulder and pulls a shell out of his jacket pocket, loading it in. “First he misses my magical powers, now he’s gonna miss this.”
Mike laughs in response. He watches as Will hefts the shotgun up, making sure the butt is sat snug against his shoulder. Will’s eyes narrow as he lines up the gun with the generator, and Mike feels butterflies in his stomach at how self-assured he is with it. He sees Will take a breath in then slowly exhale, his finger pulling the trigger.
or: Mike and Will get their turn in the Upside Down to confess.
