Summary
“And here I was going to behave, ask if I am yet allowed to touch you.” Ilya reaches between them to capture Shane’s chin between thumb and forefinger, looking intently into his eyes for a half-dozen heartbeats or so. Then his lips are on Shane’s, a warm press of mouths turned wet as Ilya slides his tongue between Shane’s teeth.
“It was so fucking annoying, not being able to,” Shane grumbles into Ilya’s mouth, breaking the kiss so he can nuzzle Ilya’s pulse instead. “Not wanting this is stupid as hell.” As he rubs the underside of his jaw into Ilya’s shoulder, he feels the alpha’s low chuckle vibrate through to the base of his own spine, making him squirm.
“For once we agree on something, Hollander. You are very stupid and annoying.”
Some months after Shane recovers from rejection sickness in Ilya's bed, they share their heat/rut together at the cottage, both clinging to the delusion it's still casual.

Summary
“He was looking at it. Earlier.”
Mike’s eyes do that darkening thing again. “Yeah?”
Will nods. With Mike looking at him like that, he suddenly feels like his voice is going to give out. But after a moment, Mike’s expression lifts again, soft smile taking over his face. He nudges Will’s shoulder with his own. “Told ya it’d work.”
“I guess,” says Will. His own smile doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
Or, Mike helps Will make his co-worker jealous. Which, apparently, means covering Will in hickeys and making out with him.

let me hurt you (take what you need) by cloudsofwisdom

Summary
“Take them yourself if you want them so much.”
It was a challenge. Will could see it in his eyes, a challenge Mike didn’t expect Will to succeed at. But Will had had enough of being the one who was always flustered. So, he approached Mike, who at first stepped back, surprised, and tugged at his lower lip, ordering him to open up. It was Mike’s turn to be frozen in place.
Will then touched Mike’s teeth, resisting the urge to pass his fingers over his canines and touch his tongue. He felt Mike’s startled breath on his knuckles. Will gulped, and he took out the fangs. A string of spit hung between them and Mike’s mouth, so Will put them quickly in his mouth, relishing in Mike’s still hot saliva. If it was the only thing he could get from him, he would take it.
OR
July 1990. Will spends his summer break in Hawkins. He is filling his time by acting as a vampire in Jonathan’s short horror film for college. But to his dismay, his co-star is none other than Mike Wheeler, whom he hasn’t talked to for six months. Worst, he plays his human best friend, and Will might just have to take a bite of him.

Summary
“I'm so sorry,” Mike adds again.
“You didn't do it on purpose.”
“No, no, Will... I did it on purpose,” he murmurs. Even though it's dark, Will can tell he's looking right at him. “I wanted to do it.”
Will doesn't understand. It doesn't make sense. Carlton's words must have hurt him more than expected. They are very close, and neither of them seems willing to pull away from the other, even though they should.
“I don't understand.”
“I wanted to leave a mark on you,” says Mike, reaching out to touch that patch of skin. "I want... I want Carlton to see it and know it was me."
"Mike.”
"I want him to wonder why you let me do it,“ he adds, as if he can't help himself. "I want that for every time he touches you, he thinks about the fact that I can touch you too."Will is an art student, has a boyfriend, an ambiguous relationship with his roommate and childhood best friend, and a difficult past he has to come to terms with before finding his own truth.

Summary
Mike wakes to the sound of movement in the kitchen. He pushes himself up, still groggy, and steps into the hallway.
“Hey, baby,” a voice says easily, not looking up. “You want coffee—?”
Carlton turns around, stops short. Blinks once.
“Oh,” he says, then laughs under his breath. “You’re… not Will.”
Mike freezes.
Or,
Post-canon, Mike Wheeler crashes at his best friend’s New York apartment for a book deal. But he wasn't ready to see this version of Will Byers: confident, successful, in love, surrounded by community and so, so free.
While Will lives the life he has always deserved, Mike grieves El and comes to the quiet, devastating realization that he might be in love a few years too late.
Despite everything, they still seem to find their way back to each other.
