Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

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.

Summary
Will took in a breath as he turned to stare at the vine covered window. That was probably it. Mike probably decided to stop being an obvious idiot and finally understood what all the touches and glances were about. Finally understood what Will had been hiding for years, and was probably disgusted by it. Disgusted by the fact that Will had been taking advantage of their friendship, just to get closer to Mike, as if Mike could ever have the same feelings as him.
But he doesn’t, Will reminded himself. Mike is not like you, and that’s okay. It’s okay because you told everyone, and they all accepted you, and Mike is just your Tammy.
He’s just Tammy.

Summary
Mike rolled onto his back and stared up at the ceiling. The same ceiling he'd been staring at since he was six years old, back when the only monsters he worried about were the ones in his campaigns. Back when "the Upside Down" was just a cool name for a dungeon level, not a parallel dimension that had systematically destroyed everything he cared about.
The ceiling didn't have any answers for him. It never did.
How many more until we find him? Mike wondered, not for the first time. How many more until someone doesn't come back?
He pushed the thought away. He was good at that now—identifying the thoughts that led nowhere productive and shoving them into a box in the back of his mind. Worry about Hopper getting caught by the military. Worry about the crawl system falling apart. Worry about what happened if they did find Vecna and he was still alive and angry and what if Will—
Box. Lock it. Move on.
aka stranger things season five told through the point of view of mike wheeler plus a season 5 vol 2 and 3 rewrite cause man oh man.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.
