Summary
Will lifted a hand, pushing it to Mike’s forehead— "Are you sure? We should at least tell my mom. She could help figure out if this is an upside down problem, and maybe it could help us out in crawls-“
“I’m not cursed.” Mike cut in, his eyes held a glare that he didn’t mean. He didn’t want Will looking into him, he didn’t want Joyce, or Hopper having to spend a constant amount of time with him.
He wasn’t Max. Max had a reason to be upset, her brother had fucking died in a ‘mall fire’, what did he have to be afraid of?

Summary
Mike plops onto the couch with the little amount of grace he possesses, which is none. His head falls against the armrest, lolling to the side as he stares out the window.
Will knows Mike is watching, waiting until Carlton is in his car, out of the driveway and down the street, before letting the hurt show. Before the pout settles in, before the look in his eyes gives him away. Mike has always been careful about these things.
or: Will Byers has a boyfriend. Mike Wheeler has never been good at letting go.

Summary
Set 4 years after high school graduation where Mike Wheeler ends up the single dad of little Willow Janet Wheeler. This is a heartfelt story that follows the complexity of Mike and Wills relationship as well as Mike and Willows as she grows older and learns more about what it means to love and be loved. Good thing she gets lots of examples even if Mike and Will don't know it.

Summary
Five years after Hawkins and his sister's death, Will Byers is chasing his dream as a Disney animation trainee at CalArts, but life feels emptier than he expected. Everything changes the day he hears a familiar voice on the radio, one he hasn’t heard in years, pulling him into a whirlwind of memories, questions, and a world he thought he’d left behind.

Summary
Over Christmas break, Will comes out to his friends a few months into their first year of college. After some time apart, Mike can hardly believe the person standing in front of him is the same shy, lifelong best friend he’s known since kindergarten. Will has grown into himself away from Hawkins, surrounded by studios and artists and people who seem to see him for who he truly is.
Maybe if they’d gone to the same college, the change wouldn’t feel so stark. Maybe it would’ve happened slowly, together. How did Mike miss the most important months of his best friend’s life—and even more pressing, why didn’t Will come out to him first?
While Will and the others seem to be thriving, Mike feels stuck in dreary Seattle, studying something safe and going nowhere. He’s happy for them, truly. So why does it feel like he’s being left behind?
_______________Or, Will comes out to his friends, and Mike can no longer ignore the colossal mistake that is his choice of major—entirely unrelated to Will’s sexuality, of course.
