    Summary

    To prevent Will from being a vessel for Vecna's spying through their shared link every time he gets a tingle in his neck, Mike has to be touching Will to ward Vecna's influence away. It could be a hand hold, a hug, or even a cuddling session. It's awkward for both Mike and Will, especially since Mike is still dating El and El is a big supporter of it if that's what it takes to keep Will safe. But being Will's temporary cure isn't the only problem of Mike's. He's hiding symptoms of being cursed.

    Summary

    At the age of five, Mike finds out that he lives in quite a peculiar world.
    It’s the day before kindergarten and when his parents sit him down in the living room, Mike doesn’t know how to feel: his mother carries worry in her gleaming eyes, while his father looks like he’d rather be anywhere but there.
    “Mike. Do you remember when you asked us about the tattoo you’ve seen on Grandma Julie’s wrist?”
    Mike nods and a whole new world opens up for him.

     

    A series rewrite where Mike and Will fall in love in a world made of soulmates and monsters.

    Summary

    “That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”

    “Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”

    Or

    Dustin Henderson has a plan.
    It is a good plan.
    The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.

    Summary

    "Have you talked to him today?" Jonathan asked, gesturing to Will, who was now approaching the sink. Mike didn't need Jonathan to explain who he was talking about.

    "No, he's been in the basement all day. I thought he was just painting or something," Mike replied, shaking his head before lowering his voice. "I think he's having an episode."

    Jonathan nodded. "I mean, maybe, but he hasn't had one in a long time," he said, voice growing softer.

    Mike knew Will was still recovering from everything, still adjusting to being back home. Everything that had happened in the past couple of years certainly hadn't been great, but Mike thought things were getting better, or at least easier.

    "I know," Mike whispered, looking back to Will, making sure he hadn't left the kitchen yet. Will was finishing up rinsing off his plate. Mike turned back to Jonathan. "What should we do?"

    "I don't know. I mean, you were always the one that he wanted. You always knew how to talk to him and knew what he needed," Jonathan said, pausing before continuing. "Honestly, I think he would probably just want you."

     

    or

     

    Will had an episode, and Mike was there to help.
