Summary
Hi! Welcome to my first fanfiction EVER! my posting times might be weird, as I'm still in school, but often expect chapters on Thursday-Sunday around 3-10pm CENTRAL TIME. always check notes! Here's a small description.
Hawkins has never felt more strange. Will has burned the Mind Flayer out of him, but something just feels...wrong. like something at the back of his head. Not quite able to place a finger on it. The party is out trick-or-treating, and Mike and Will stay glued at the side. Everything is good. Three Mornings of calm. Three days of peace. Three nights of restful sleep. But on the fourth night? Everything changed for Will.

Summary
“What? No! I mean — I just meant—“ said Mike, struggling with the words, “I… I mean… who is it?” he turned back to Hugo, “Can we know their name? It might be somebody we know already.”
Will frowned, “I hope it’s not,” he said, “I don’t like anybody we know enough to marry them — except our friends, obviously, but that’s different.”
Hugo, if it was even possible, looked somehow immensely more excited by these words, “I can’t tell you who it is,” he giggled, “That’s a really big spoiler.”
Mike Wheeler’s son arrives in Hawkins with no explanation, snapped back in time entirely by accident — and he latches on to none other than Will Byers. If only they all knew why.

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.

Jealous Mike (but to his actual—albeit older—self). Soooo good.

Summary
Mike swears he can hear a clock ticking, in tune to the beat of his heart, making his eardrums pulse. He wonders if it’s just his subconscious mind taunting him because he is very, very late to school.
And it’s all Will’s fault.
Coercing him to the backseat of the car before they could enter the school building. Batting his eyelashes at him innocently like butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth.
OR
Mike Wheeler has never been happier. He has the best boyfriend in the world and the best set of friends anyone could ask for. He's popular, gets invited to parties, and he's STILL in the honeymoon phase of his relationship. He doesn't think his life could get any better. But then why does something feel...off?

Summary
Mike lets out a frustrated groan and knocks his head back against the seat—like Hopper’s the one being cryptic here.
Mike’s voice cracks slightly when he repeats, “He hurt Will.” More urgent this time. More desperate.
“Okay. I get that,” Hopper says slowly. “But it doesn’t explain why—”
Mike cuts him off, sharp. “If Will didn’t tell you, then I’m not telling you.”
-
When Hopper gets a call about that damn Wheeler kid, he's pissed. Until he realizes what exactly he's dealing with.

Summary
"Will," Henry sighs, "I helped destroy the neural lattice of an entire dimension. I’m not solving for X."
"Wow. So you can annihilate timelines, but Algebra II’s where you draw the line?"
"Frankly, it’s beneath me."
"Yeah? You say that, but I bet you don’t even know what a logarithm is."
Henry’s quiet for a beat. And then—
"…What is a logarithm?"Will laughs under his breath before he can stop it. The kid next to him gives him a weird look. Will pretends to cough and returns to staring at the graph paper like it personally offended him.

Summary
“Do you think,” Will swallows hard. “If you could go back, knowing everything, you’d choose to love her again?”
“Yes. Not—not because she needed me, but because—I don’t know. If I didn’t love Nance, I wouldn’t be here. I’d still be dickwad Steve Harrington who peaked in high school.”
Will laughs, gentle. “You were a dickwad.”
Steve hums agreement. He considers something for a moment. “What about you?”
“What?”
“Your Tammy. Knowing what you did now, would you go back and love him all over again?”
“Yes,” Will says instantly. “Of course.”
“Why?”
Will looks at him then, so earnest, still so young, so full of love to give and so willing to give it away.
“Because it’s him.”or:

Summary
“Look,” Will says, turning fully on the pallet to face Mike, one hand reaching down for the rough wood to find purchase and ground him. “Do you-, do you want to show me. Like-, like want to practice?”
Mike’s eyes widen but he doesn't say anything.
“Sorry, stupid idea, just wanted to help.” Will is trying to gather the words back up from the air between them and into his mouth.
“I never thought it was stupid.” Mike says, so quietly it's not much more than an exhale. “I suggested it first.” He adds, like it's a secret.
Will grips the pallet harder. “Show me. I really do want to help.”
Mike bites his lip a sec, and Will thinks he's going to say no, but then Mike's darting forward and pressing his lips firm and quick against Will’s. It's barely a kiss. Not romantic. Not enough to leave a scar. Will bleeds anyway.

Summary
A polaroid lies face down, stark white against the carpet. Will crouches, breath already unsteady, and turns it over. His breath caught in his throat as the image came into focus, sending a jolt straight through him. Mike's jeans strained visibly against the thick bulge at his crotch, the denim stretched taut over an unmistakable erection.
Dear Will,
If you wanted to see me with a boner, you could've asked instead of drawing it.
Love, MikeOR
Will accidentally gifts Mike an erotic drawing of him, Mike returns the favor by sending him polaroid evidence of what his boners really look like.

Summary
Now, Mike had almost three extra years' worth of memories, including the revelation and inevitable acceptance of his feelings for his best friend and the subsequent aftermath of said best friend’s heroic sacrifice.
“No, no, no, NO! I just got you back! Please, please, Will, please–I can’t lose you, not again! WILL–”
He remembered the two girls placing their hands on his shoulders, Kali’s sympathetic grip and El’s agonized clench as they gazed down at their adopted brother.
Now, here he was, the summer it all started going too wrong to right.
~~~
After Will sacrifices himself to defeat Vecna, Mike is sent back in time to the beginning of season 3 to prevent any more tragedy
Now, he'll do whatever it takes
For Will.

Summary
A post-canon (with some small tweaks) road trip full of tension, nightmares, gay panic, and a very long drive toward the truth.
*
Will just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn’t plan on sharing motel beds, surviving Mike Wheeler’s jealousy spiral, or confronting feelings he’s spent years burying.
Mike thinks Will likes girls.
Will thinks Mike will never love him back.
Both of them are wrong.Or
Water dripped from Will's hair, ran down his jaw, caught on his lips.
Mike stared at it.
Stared like he'd forgotten where he was.
Then, slowly he lifted a towel and pressed it gently to Will's mouth, wiping the water away. His hand didn't even shake. He was steady.
Will's breath stuttered. Tingles tremored all the way up his spine.
He didn't move. He couldn't. He was too aware of Mike's hand, of the way his eyes kept dropping back to his lips.
That look again.
The one Will had seen a dozen times now and never understood.

Summary
“Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”
Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”
Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.
[...]
“He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.
“Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."
Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.
Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.

Summary
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but Mike disagreed.
There was no world where anyone could argue that Will was only beautiful to certain people, because that simply was not true.
Will had been personally crafted by Aphrodite herself and Mike knew, without question, that if a blind person were to press their fingertips against Will's face and dragged them across his skin, they could tell that the boy poured heart-stoppening, maddening beauty from every single one of his pores.
***
Ever since Henry died alongside the Upside Down, Mike spent his nights listening to the breathing of one Will Byers right next to him on his bed.
Mike stared, and he wanted.

Bookmarker's Notes
To say Mike loves Will would be an understatement. Will was his god. Will is his truth.
(A beautifully written Mike-centric fic where his love for Will is dissected and the way he sees Will is ethereal)

Summary
“Oh, yeah? What are they?” Mike seems interested, more than Will would have thought. He knows for a fact Mike doesn’t believe in this kind of thing. It doesn’t stop him asking though.
“Um, find a new hobby that isn’t D&D or art. Make my own comic, maybe base it off some of the stuff from the last few years. Monsters, an alternate dimension that’s stuck in the past, a character with powers. Will the Wise, Mike the Brave,” he shakes his head. Maybe it’s stupid.
“Promise to save me a copy?”

Summary
“What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”
“Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”
Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.
Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

would you kiss me (just to kiss me.) by genevievive for oneMoreThing

Summary
It’s different this time, not like the kiss they shared when they were kids; when Mike was practising kissing El at the Snowball and Will could barely understand what he was feeling. This— Mike wants this, he wants this more than Will thinks he knows himself.
Will wants this too, it’s all Will’s ever wanted really but not like this, their story doesn’t end with Mike kissing him in a middle-of-nowhere motel when his sister, Mike’s girlfriend, or ex-girlfriend, or whatever is still missing, still captured by forces out of their control for the fourth time since he disappeared all those years ago.
It doesn’t make the kiss any shorter though, Mike’s eyes are closed shut as Will lets his flicker; he tastes like cheap mint toothpaste and the strawberry gum that Argyle always keeps in the van. Mike smells like motel and Argyle’s pizza van even though they’ve both showered and underneath it all he smells like Mike, he is Mike, and he’s kissing him.
Mike is kissing him.
