Summary
In the midst of the apocalypse, things are tense between Will and Mike. The worst part is Will doesn’t even know why. It just feels like Mike stopped caring about him. That is until a future version of Mike turns up on their doorstep and turns Will’s whole world upside down.

Summary
College AU / FTM Will Byers x Mike Wheeler
If Will didn't feel like a girl then that's just how he felt; Mike would support him no matter what he came out as. Mike fears he's being selfish- What kind of friend would he be to take away from Will's big moment by being distracted by his own feelings? Dumb, confused feelings at that. Mike had never thought too hard about his own identity; he never felt a reason to. He was a nerd, a dungeon master, a writer, and an amazing alphabet burper. Surely there couldn't be any more to him than that? But when Will came out so confidently despite all of his fears it was in that instance where Mike started analyzing himself as well. These nebulous revelations that Mike can't find words for-
He's still trying to unravel them even now, 2 years down the line.
Maybe Mike felt like he had lost Will again, or, like a version of him.
Maybe it was Mike's fear of what society might think of Will after he came out as trans to the public.
Maybe it was because Mike realized something about himself... And if that were the case?Then Mike's crush on his best friend just turned from a straight crush, on a girl, into a gay crush, on a guy, in .2 seconds flat.

“So you’re from a different dimension?”
“My Cleric and I are from a different realm to yours, yes.”
“He’s not yours,” Mike said steadily.
“Ah, so he is yours?”
“He’s not yours,” Mike spat again.

Summary
Mike’s heart lurches into his throat, constricting his airway as he takes in his face. Because he knows that face. His eyes have wandered along that strong nose, those bunny teeth peeking out between parted lips, that mole beside his mouth. He’s catalogued every detail of that messy brown hair, those long eyelashes, and that pair of enchanting hazel eyes, over and over again, to the point where it burns behind his eyelids when he kisses his girlfriend.
“Holy shit,” the man breathes, gaping in shock, and for once in his life, Mike doesn’t need a trick to stop his loud mouth. For the first time, he’s truly struck dumb.
Because it’s him. Older, taller, and different, but it’s him.
The man standing in front of them, somehow, is Will.
Or,
18-year-old Will Byers gets sent back to July 1985, tries to help them out using some awesome superpowers and futuristic wisdom, and Mike does his best not to combust in the process.

Summary
Hopper never thought he’d get another chance at fatherhood, but when he marries Joyce he leaps at the opportunity to be a father figure to her teenage son, Will. The only problem: Will has a new boyfriend. A boyfriend who Hopper just... Does. Not. Like.
I decided that there weren’t nearly enough fics out there with a) Hopper-Byers family dynamic, b) Will calling Hopper ‘Dad’, and c) Hopper going full over-protective Dad mode over Will dating Mike, so I decided to write my own.
