Summary
Mike used to know everything about him though, so it wasn’t exactly surprising. He had always known what Will wanted, almost before Will himself had known; was always slipping him his favorite candy after a hard day or lending him his jacket if he even so much as blinked at the cold. It had been a while though since he was able to put it into practice, and Will was a bit unused to the idea of anyone knowing him anymore.
Will visits Mike at his new Cabin out in Montana, circa 1990

Summary
In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.
The silence veered from heavy to charged. All of Mike’s attention surged into his hand. He felt like the entirety of his consciousness was suddenly located in the place where his skin touched Will’s.
What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.
Or,
After first using his powers, Will falls unconscious—and stays that way. Refusing to leave Will's side, Mike reflects on the last year and a half while he waits for Will to wake up.aka mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate, FEATURING: wound cleaning, bed sharing, disco, Jealous!Mike, queer literary analysis, & the most horrifying eldritch specter of all (gay panic).

Summary
“Hello.” Says Will, because it feels weird not to. “Where is this place?”
The man quirks an eyebrow and stands - fully facing him. And now Will can see letters on his t-shirt.Hellfire Club.
His eyes widen with realization. The man – Eddie – smirks, and suddenly all the blankness in his face is gone. His eyes have a glint to them – something that makes him look like he’s just on this side of psychopathic. Or crazy. Whatever. They’re the same thing.
“What the shit?” breathes Will.
“What the shit.” Agrees Eddie.Bookmarked by RIP_MySocialLife

Summary
“Also, if I might remind you, we are all actively going through hell—I think I’m allowed to look like shit.”
“Now, I didn’t say all that!” Mike protests immediately, so overexaggerated that it cannot be entirely serious. “You don’t look like shit—quite the opposite, actually.”
Will stumbles immediately, and Mike catches him, because of course he does.
A military base is burning down behind them, casting everything in a golden glow that could perhaps even count as romantic were it not for the circumstances it came to be in the first place, adding a blurry, near-dreamlike quality to the air, and he stumbles like an idiot, and Mike catches him around the waist as if this were some romantic comedy.
Maybe he didn’t do shit back there, in actuality, and got ripped apart by a demogorgon limb by limb, died and ascended, because surely Mike didn’t just say—
“The—opposite?”
“Yeah,” Mike says, unrepentant, straightening him up and continuing like nothing is off about this line of conversation at all. “The blood is quite a good look on you.”

Summary
“You’re cruel, Michael Wheeler,” Will says through gritted teeth and a tight throat and years of accumulated anger dissipating into something sticky and sweet. Says it softly, but Mike winces, anyway. It is both gut-wrenching and sickly satisfying.
