Summary
“Up there,” Will said, glancing toward the sky. “If something goes wrong. If he takes over me and uses me—” He inhaled sharply. “Kill me."
As Mike’s fingers closed around Will’s arm, the skin felt unnaturally cool, the pulse beneath it slow and rhythmic—entirely unlike the frantic, nervous heartbeat Mike knew by heart. This was not Will.
After 'Sorcerer' Will Byers risked everything to save Max and Holly, but Vecna doesn't allow him to leave without a mark.- Mike accidentally overhears a heavy confession meant only for the Byers family, and Will requests him to do something impossible.

Summary
“They do not care about you, Will. They never did.”
There is nothing in Will that objects.
Vecna pivots around to look at him, on the floor.
“But. I was the same way. Nobody needed me. Nobody cared about me.”
Will weakly raises his head to look at him. Seeking understanding, he asks , “Why?”
As Vecna looks at him, his body morphs. Changes. Into his human form. A well-put together one this time. Young and blonde, tall, with chiseled cheekbones. His voice is normal. Alongside his metamorphosis the background shifts.
“Let me show you.”
Or a volume two that goes right. With a hint of volume 3.

Summary
“We are more similar than you realize, Will. Both of us were...sensitive children. We were different. Seen as freaks. But we are special. You are special.”
Will takes a shallow breath, tries to swallow his nerves. He speaks flatly. “And?”
Henry blinks, seemingly surprised by Will’s coldness. “I chose you that day, you know.”
And Will sees himself, small and alone, riding his bike through the darkness. He sees the silhouette of something tall and not-human. He sees himself crashing his bike. Running home. But the creature unlocks the door. It follows him into the shed. It gets him.
“It was you,” Will whispers, a hand coming up to the back of his neck. The monster that took him. The possession. The visions. “It’s always been you.”
(or the one where will’s connection to the upside down is a crucial part of season 4 instead of him getting sidelined, and how it changes everything)

Summary
Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
“Take me.”
Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
“Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
“Deal.”---
Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.- Language:

Summary
Something flutters at the back of Will’s neck. His scar twinges at his side.
It’s nothing, he tells himself, like he always does. It’s nothing, it’s just—you’re tense, you’re nervous, you’re being stupid, it’s not anything important—
His entire body thrums with a fearful energy. The feeling of otherness in his veins.
It certainly feels important.

Summary
It’s dark. Cold. He’s back.
Thick, ash-like particles scatter in the air. Writhing vines crawl up the walls and into the arcade machines, which flicker on and off like faulty lightbulbs. The whole room is gray, devoid of any music or life.
And through it all, there’s a voice. One that Will’s come to know almost as well as his own.
Come back, Will. Come home. Join us.

Summary
Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.
Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.
The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.
A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.
The beast’s got him.

Summary
Holy shit, Will thinks. Holy shit, that’s Mike Wheeler.
Dead center stage, his long fingers plucking expertly at a deep blue electric guitar, is a living ghost of Will’s desperately buried past. The central figure of his best childhood memories and worst adolescent shames, the boy he thought he’d left behind for good, the first and only person he’d ever really been in love with. Mike.
Chicago, 1993. Will is working as an illustrator, back in the Midwest for the first time since he left at 14. Mike is the frontman of an up-and-coming alt rock band he started with his college friends. Through sheer luck, their paths cross, and everything they ever left unsaid comes bubbling back to the surface.

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
A year after Vecna's defeat, things have finally returned to normal. Well, aside from the lingering nightmares. And the fact that Mike is in love with his best friend and it's getting increasingly harder to keep that to himself.
But it's all going to be fine. They're going to go to Steve's parent's heretofore undiscussed lakehouse, spend two weeks slow-roasting in the Indiana sun, and be normal teenagers for once. Really, the least they deserve at this point is a little summertime relaxation.

(yet another) stranger things texting fic! by orphan_account
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
so i've been writing this since vol 1 came out and i think i've got to a point where i'm not gonna lose motivation. i haven't read any other stranger things texting fics specifically because i didn't want to subconsciously copy them, so if this is similar to any other stranger things texting fics you've read, i promise it wasn't on purpose.
all the characters are a year older than they were in season 4. would this technically mean that robin and nancy and etc should be in college?? yes. we're just gonna pretend that they all ended up going to college online or in hawkins.
also billy isn't here because he's racist. like we're just gonna pretend that he never existed

Summary
“It’s a good thing,” Will reassures, and his thumb swipes over Mike’s cheek. Mike thinks he might explode. “It means you’re nice to look at. Artists would love you.”
Mike’s heart feels like it’s about to burst out of his chest. Will is still looking at him, and he swallows, throat dry. “Yeah?”
Will’s own face reddens, like he’d just thought about what he said. “Yeah,” he answers, and Mike grins.Living in a shared apartment with Will is all Mike could ask for, except for the part where he keeps thinking about kissing Will in the middle of their kitchen.

Summary
Mike hates Valentine’s Day. It was fun as kids, when teachers would make every student decorate a little shoe box with pink and red heart stickers, that by the end of the day would be filled with cheesy Valentines and sweets.
But this isn’t kindergarten anymore— there are no school-enforced rules that his classmates have to give him a Valentine. He has to earn them. And he hasn’t.
———
Mike is (not) upset that he’s the only one of his friends that hasn’t received a Valentine. That is, until something just so happens to fall out of his locker the next day.
