Summary
As Mike swivels his chair around he can feel his heart rate picking up, which is totally ridiculous. This whole situation is ridiculous, he thinks, as his eyes find the reason he hasn’t been able to concentrate on his stupid essay.
Will is sitting on his bed on the other side of the room. He has his knees drawn up to his chest with an open sketchbook balanced against them, absentmindedly tapping a pencil against his lips. And he is looking at Mike.
No, not looking. Staring. Intensely.
or
Mike and Will share a dorm in college, and over the course of three days Mike has some revelations about his feelings for Will and what he really means to him.

Summary
All this time, he’d thought El was penance, for his failure to protect Will. That being with her was atonement, for wanting the wrong things, for feeling the wrong way. But it hadn’t helped— Will kept leaving. And El did, too. Mike keeps losing people, and nothing he does brings them back.
Each time Mike thinks of Will, he feels the weight of cosmic responsibility.
He's doesn't know what he feels for Will anymore. But he knows for certain that it isn't allowed.
non-linear series retrospective, from mike's perspective. (aka: the mike pov we all deserved)

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.

this natural thing (that you've undone) by goldenasteri

Summary
Will's only ever smoked one other time. (It wasn't even cool.)
When Jonathan came in to check on him, glass of water in hand, he was sitting bolt upright. All he said was, ”El’s door doesn’t have a lock, right?”
So for the next 2 hours, as Jonathan dozed off next to him on his bed, Will sat there and drew. After stumbling into his sister’s room and pulling that shitty Polaroid of him off her wall, he conjured Mike up and spat him out into his sketchbook like it was nothing.
Of course—it was the best thing he’d ever drawn.
The whole thing screamed, unabashedly, "I love you".
After that, Will swore he wouldn’t smoke again.
Until Mike comes to him (in the middle of an apocalypse no less), and with that bashful, sweet little smile he reserves for Will and only Will (Goddamnit.), he makes a little joke about dying before he ever gets to do one little regular teenage rebellion.
And who is Will to say no?Or: Mike and Will get stoned in the Wheeler's basement, as the world ends.
