Summary
Mike’s no stranger to the supernatural and surreal. Few things frighten him anymore, but facing his complicated feelings and himself is particularly terrifying.
When Mike Wheeler’s doppelgänger, Michael the Brave, tumbles out of another dimension and into Mike’s bedroom, he teaches Mike a little something about loving Will Byers—and himself.
Or, simply: Mike takes the phrase “go fuck yourself” very, very seriously.

Summary
“Mike…it's your birthday,” Will reminded him. Will slowly walked up into Mike’s space. Mike stayed still, looking down at the hardwood floor.
“I know.”
“You thought I forgot?”
Mike’s lips quivered at that, his eyes still remained at the floor until a pair of adidas shoes poured into his vision. He nodded.
Or:
Mike believes he should suffer for his birthday, just as he made Will suffer all those years ago. He sits alone in his apartment in Brooklyn, drowning in pain he had inflicted on himself, and believing this is the final straw to how his story will end. It isn't until a reminder of who he is, and who he should become bursts into his apartment.
It's Wills turn to be the heart, and save Mike from his own misery.

Summary
Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.
Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while.
It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.
Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler.
OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

READ THE TAGS. PLEASE GOD READ THE TAGS. THIS IS A VERY ANGSTY, HEAVY FIC WITH A LOT OF DARK THEMES. READ THOSE TAGS. THANK YOU.
Slow updates possibly, because I have trauma with DV myself. This fic started as a project to help me work through my trauma, but after I got a little tipsy and decided to post it on TikTok a lot of people wanted to read this fic. I hope this finds someone who will enjoy reading as much as I will enjoy writing, but due to how close to home the abuse aspect is, it might be a while between chapters. But I promise I won't abandon it, and will still post as regularly as I can. This fic is too important for me to just abandon 🤗 Y'all just might have to bear with me.
Also some of the chapters are REALLY long lol so it takes a while to edit them.

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.

“You didn’t tell me Will had a boyfriend!”
Shit. Mike felt his own jaw drop without even realizing it.
“No, he doesn’t,” Max said, but it came out more like a question than anything. And then she looked over at Mike, who was horribly red in the face and was suddenly feeling an overwhelming urge to reconnect with nature after this. “Wait. Does he?”
OR: Mike gets jealous at a party, accidentally reveals that Will has a boyfriend, and neglects to tell anybody that he's the boyfriend in question.

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.- Language:

“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”

And here he is now, leg bouncing continuing into the three minute mark, in the surprisingly bustling store, waiting with Will for their orders. Well, the store isn't really that busy, but the place is… cozy. Which is to say, it's tiny, and apparently everyone and their mother is dying to try today's special: some tea made with peaches imported from Georgia.

Summary
Mike was weird.
He knew that very well, and so did everyone who knew him. Will often felt like the only person Mike could say anything to. He could voice any of his strange alien thoughts, and Will might not completely relate, but he'd listen, and he'd just get it in a way that no one else could.
That led Mike to his current dilemma.- OR -
Mike has a crisis about his gender and how it might impact his relationship with Will.
