Summary
A sharp crack tears through the air. Mike flinches back, staring down at Will's lifeless body. He gets one last look before the ground is giving way beneath them, and all at once, they’re falling.
A shrill cry tears from Mike’s throat as he finds himself flailing through the open sky. A sharp crack of lightning shutters in the distance. Will's limp corpse contorts, dropping faster than he can. He’s screaming, unimaginable terror ripping through his body. He writhes, reaching for Will, crying the boy's name.
He’s falling, plummeting through a destabilized upside down and there's nothing he can do to stop it. He’s going to die.
Mike reaches out, eyes squeezed close. He tears the watch from Will's wrist, seconds before colliding with the Exotic Matter.
.
OR
Colliding with Exotic matter as the Upside Down collapses in on itself sends Mike hurtling through time. He’s given the chance to save Will before any of this starts.
But he can’t seem to get it right. Reliving moments throughout the years, helpless to warn Will. He just wants to keep him safe. Why can’t he keep him safe?
He’ll do this again and again until he gets it right. He won’t lose him again.

Summary
«It’s like he lost his compass. I thought it was about that accident, but I don’t think that’s the full story. There’s a missing piece and I can’t find it. It’s in the way Mike moves and speaks and… the way he looks at Will. We both know he’s always had a sort of attraction to Will, but now… I’m worried.»
( ... )Will couldn’t see it, but Mike was smiling: a slow, almost predatory curve.
«I-I’ll call… We have to call your parents, Mike, or Hop, I think—»
«It’s not my blood.»
«W… What?»
«It’s not my blood, Will.» Mike’s tone softened suddenly, gentle now, almost teasing. He spoke in that characteristic Will’s voice, as if he was addressing a child who couldn’t yet understand.
A long silence settled over the room.Bookmarked by Stqrlight

Summary
Sir Michael tilted his head, squinting at Will. Without warning, his hand came to cup Will's cheek, turning his skin at least ten degrees warmer. "He looks like you," Sir Michael continued, "and he has your name. Your moles, too."
His thumb came down to brush the mole over Will's top lip. The touch felt soft, strangely reverent. "My— moles?"
Mike had the same sentiment, albeit with more displeasure. "His moles?"
Will makes a wish. Sir Michael the Brave comes to fulfill it, but Mike Wheeler makes his wish come true.

Summary
A dark retelling of Harry Potter, but with a twist.
On that fateful night many years ago, twin boys were left outside a house in the hope that they would be raised properly until they were old enough to attend school at the age of eleven. Their names were Harry and Hadrian Potter. Tragically, however, one of the twins was killed before reaching that age.
Now, he has been granted a second chance at life, revealed the secrets and dark truths of his past, and is free to make his own choices. He knows which side is the right side now.
Hadrian Potter is determined to make the most of this new opportunity. He understands who his true enemies are and will no longer be deceived by sweet promises or trust easily. He is prepared to eliminate anyone who stands in his way, even if that person happens to be his own twin brother.

Summary
“Four people took their own lives last night as a result of your bullying. In addition, there are the eight other students who have to suffer from minor to serious bodily harm due to your violence.”
“How uncreative,” Hadrian snarled, unimpressed.
“Excuse me?”
“I said ‘how uncreative’, headmistress. Do you want to hear it another time?”
There were three unbreakable rules about Hadrian James Potter: don’t cross him, don’t look him in the eye, and don’t anger him. Anyone who dared to break them paid for it in ways people preferred not to remember. His victims were talked about in whispers, warnings passed from mouth to mouth. And when Hadrian decided to “play,” as he called it, no one stepped in. They all knew that intervening meant sharing the same fate.

Summary
Will forced himself to stop thinking. The Upside Down was closed for good. Eleven had close the gate last year and saved them all. His mother, Jonathan and Nancy had taken the Mind Flayer out of him. There was nothing more connecting him to that place. He was clean. Purged. And those stupid chills he got from time to time in the back of his neck were just his brain messing up with him. It was him not being able to move on from what happened in the past. It was him not being able to grow the fuck up already.
Dustin clapped his hands, the sound echoing in the calm night, making Will snapped out of his thoughts. “We can become heroes, Will. Honest to God American heroes. Like freaking Red dawn or something.”
Season 3 rewrite in which Will listens to the Russian transmission with Dustin. Inspired by American Heroes by catchip2

Summary
“Will Byers?”
Will glances around, as if there is another Will Byers in their vicinity. He manages a small smile. “Yeah, it’s- uh. It’s me.”
Mike rushes forward, and all he can think is holy shit, Will is alive, as he’s throwing his arms around the other boy and tugging him in for a crushing hug. It isn’t until Will is secure, nestled–maybe a bit stiffly–in his arms, that Mike starts crying.
“I thought you were dead,” Mike murmurs, muffled by Will’s jacket. He sniffles. “I thought- we- they told us you were dead.”
Or, Will was never found in S1, but survives in the Upside Down until 1987 due to his powers and connection with Vecna. Cue Mike, an ill-timed trip to the Upside Down, and a lot of feelings.

Summary
Saturday, August 31st, 1982
He was the pale moonlight in a world that didn’t look up.
That was what his muggle teacher Mrs. Keyworth always said, as if the words tasted good on her tongue, as if her little metaphor meant more than the boy it described. She made it sound poetic, something delicate and lovely, but Will heard the truth hidden between the syllables. He was something small, something distant. A soft glow swallowed by something bigger.
An afterthought in the sky.

Summary
The door slid open slowly to reveal a tall, pale boy. He had fluffy black hair crowning his head and small patches of freckles laying across his face; he had regular clothes on, a blue sweater fitted with dark jeans. The boy’s dark eyes locked onto Will, wide and unsure.
“Do you...” The boy stumbled over his words, saying them all too fast. “Do you want to be my friend?”

He didn’t. He felt intrigued and more excited than he's felt in a long time. Whatever lived in the woods had seen him.
And it had let him go."

“I-” Will started. “He’s not. He’s not my boyfriend.”
“Then what is he?” Mike asked, an accusing edge to his tone.
“Woah, Mike.” Will set his glass on the coffee table. “I don’t understand why this is bothering you so much.”
“Because-” Mike stopped himself.
*Because I’m jealous.*

Summary
"He’s not actually sick, not exactly.” Joyce's voice is steady, but her clear stress shows, “He presented, Mike.”
She gives him a comforting smile as he blinks. Just blinks, unable to do much else. He doesn’t notice his throat is dry until he speaks and it comes out quiet, crackly. “What?”
“He went into his first heat overnight. I really should have seen the signs, it’s just so uncommon at sixteen. I wasn’t even thinking of it.”
Something's up with Will. Their friends say Mike is crazy, but if anyone knows Will, it's Mike. When Will presents as an omega two years earlier than most people should, Mike can't even gloat about being right, because he's suddenly being sent into overdrive at Will's newfound distress at the situation. But Mike will make it right, he'll keep him safe. That's his job, and he takes pride in it.

Summary
It’s been years of taverns and half-finished drinks. For Mike, a vampire who has spent decades brooding in the shadows, seeing Will is a reminder of the biggest lie he ever told. For Will, an elven sorcerer with shimmering hair and a sharp tongue, seeing Mike is an invitation to put on a show.

Summary
Sure enough, Mike is no longer sprawled across his bed like he was a few minutes ago and has migrated to the end of his chambers. Will watches with mild amusement as the stupid excuse for a prince attempts to balance on the narrow ledge beneath the window, arms out like he’s daring gravity to notice him and send him toppling to the ground outside.
“Do you remember,” Will asks mildly, “when you fell out of the apple tree that you insisted on climbing and broke your wrist?”
Mike doesn’t turn around. “I didn’t fall. I jumped.”
“You screamed on the way down.”
“I didn’t scream,” Mike mutters, petulance creeping into his voice. “Princes don’t scream.”
“This prince screams,” Will says. “In my ears, a lot.”
or, where Mike is a prince and Will is his long-term servant and best friend. Oh, and he's also a sorcerer on the side, and in love with said prince. This will end well, right?

Summary
“Your bat gave me a surprise last night,” Will continues, voice low.
Dustin shifts uncomfortably. “Will—”
“But there’s something you didn't tell me,” Will says, stopping and staring at Dustin, as he sinks back into his pillow. “Something kind of crucial.” He leans forward slightly, lowering his voice even more, turning the words into a furious whisper.
“You didn’t care to tell me that he’s a… vampire.”
or; Will starts college with unexpected excitement. His roommate is funny, if a little strange. But when he ends up in the infirmary with a broken arm, asking Will to look after his pet, a damn bat, Will is pulled into a situation that is anything but ordinary.
