    Summary

    It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.

    Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

    Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

    Summary

    "It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."

    "You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.

    "Absolutely."

    Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.

    After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.

     

    Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonspeaking autistic, and Mike is also autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    “Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”

    Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”

    “If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”

    In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.

    So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

    Summary

    Growing up, Patrick never really understood why people always claimed to hate hospitals so much.

    To be fair, he’s never actually had to spend time in one, so he hasn’t given it much thought, he supposes. It just seems like a common theme, a hatred shared amongst characters on TV and in movies, one that the masses can easily relate to. It never occurred to him to consider why.

    Now, sitting on a hard wooden chair in a hospital waiting room, he thinks he understands.

    Summary

    April may have kept her Kepner last name but that doesn't mean that she didn't become an Avery when she married Jackson. She finds out she didn't just marry the man, she married a whole new world. Resistance is futile, particularly when her mother-in-law, frustrated with her own son's lack of interest in acting Avery, decides that April just might be the key to drawing him toward his legacy. But before that can happen, April needs to learn what it's like to be an Avery. And Catherine might be surprised to learn what it means to have a Kepner in the family.

    Summary

    “You okay?” Mike asks him. 

    Will turns to look at Mike. The light of the TV is projected on the side of his face, bathing his skin in greens and oranges. Sometimes Will feels like the secret to digging himself out of the wreckage of his childhood is hidden in Mike. There are days when the only thing that can dull the sharp pressure of grief in his ribs is Mike’s presence at his side; steady, thrumming. Will knows the day when he will have to detach himself is coming fast, but here in this basement, where nothing has changed in over a decade, time seems to have come to a screeching halt. It’s just the two of them, sat in the last place they were innocent together.  

    “Yeah,” Will whispers, “I’m okay.”

    Summary

    “Anyway, it’s my turn again. Truth or dare.”

    “No more dares for me, knowing how your brain works. I’ve learned my lesson. Truth.” Will wouldn’t have admitted it, but he felt excited, this game was kinda fun after all. Mike threw the stress ball into the air and caught it.

    “Hm… okay. Have you kissed anyone yet?”

    Will’s heart seized up.

    What?

     

    OR

     

    In the weeks following their return to Hawkins, Mike and Will share Mike's room at the Wheeler house as the gang works on figuring out how to take care of Vecna once and for all.

    Summary

    “All right, Wonder Twins, prepare to meet your maker.” Dustin points a finger at El and smirks. “Never have I ever had a crush on Mike.”

    Mike keeps his face neutral while El drinks, as is his ex-boyfriend-turned-best-friend duty. He sees a little movement out of the corner of his right eye, though, and he turns to follow it.

    Will is taking a hit off his joint.

    “Wait…” Mike says, cutting off Lucas in the middle of his never-have-I-ever announcement. His gaze doesn’t waver from Will’s face. “What?”

    Summary

    “Tomorrow,” Jonathan says, hesitantly. “If I don’t believe you right away. We should have a code word, or something.”

    “It won’t . . . ” Nancy sighs, and shrugs a little. “That won’t work. You won’t remember this at all.” She gives him a rueful smile. “I’m the only one who will.”

    “Just to be sure, you – what were you agreeing to?” Mike blurts. “Like, was it the seeing other people thing, or the kiss – the practice kissing thing? I was – I’m just making –”

    “The second one,” Will forces out, feeling awkward to his very bones. “The – practice.”

    Mike, somehow, turns even redder. “Right. Yeah. Okay.”

    Mike offers to teach Will how to kiss.
    It goes well, all things considered.

    “B- Boyfriend? Argyle no,” Will chuckled nervously, looking to Jonathan for support. “Mike and I are just friends. Best friends!”

    “HA!” Murray burst out suddenly. “Good one, Byers.”

    “Guys… No. Will isn’t joking they really are just best friends.” Jonathan insisted earnestly.

    “I. Don’t. Fucking. Believe this!” Murray spoke in a low tone, fury bubbling below the surface. He stood up and pointed at Will.

    “You aren’t fucking with me? You really aren’t together with Wheeler?” he accused.

    Summary

    Scorpius is done.

    No, really. He's so over this. He's over pining over some girl that's always going to make him a second choice. He's over letting Rose walk all over him just because she thinks she can. He's over having his thoughts revolve around Rose all the time.

    It's been a little more than three years since Scorpius has been dealing with this bullshit, and seriously, he's bloody exhausted.

    (Seriously, there's got to be a way out. People fall out of love all the time, right?)

    Summary

    “Sometimes you need to fall.”

    Will looked at him, his eyes scanning Mike as he thought.

    “God, Mike, that’s a pretty fatalistic point of view.”

    “Why?” He chuckled. “I mean it, you know, you gotta hit rock bottom to start getting back up for real.”

     

    The past year things had been… weird, in many ways. And apparently for Mike is just going to keep being weird: this time he is doing everything right. After the gates opening in Hawkins the entire town was evacuated, and Mike suddenly found himself living far away from all his friends.

    But he keeps in touch, they have a routine. He is doing everything right, but El is the one pushing away now.

    And Mike feels lost, away from everything he thought he once understood. Never so alone since it all started.

    At least Will and him are talking again.

    Summary

    “Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”

    Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.

    I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.

    According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.
