    Summary

    Mike Wheeler spends years trying to be “normal.”
    Normal son, normal friend, normal boyfriend, normal boy.

    But growing up with Will Byers — through disappearances, monsters, trauma, high school, and finally college — makes “normal” feel less and less like something he actually wants.

    This is the long, messy, painfully slow journey of Mike figuring himself out, losing himself, finding himself again, and realizing that the only thing that ever made sense — the only thing that ever felt right — was Will.

    Summary

    “Will?” Mike whispers. “What—” he trails off. Dustin and the others are shouting over the walkie, all their voices overlapping in panic, but Mike’s only listening to Will.

    “Use it on me.”

    Will shifts on his knees, his grip on Mike’s arm tightening like he knows Mike is dying to run. He places the knife into Mike’s hand.

    “At the military zone, I felt like I was burning when they hurt it. It has to work the other way around, right? It’s a hivemind. If you hurt me, it should weaken all of them.”

    Or: in a moment of panic, Will convinces Mike to hurt him to save the Party. In another moment of panic, Mike kisses him to keep him conscious.

    Summary

    "He refused to remember anything, to remember a world after Will. He didn't want there to be a world after Will.
    Apparently, his subconscious decided that the best way to avoid that was to surround himself with Will.
    He assumed that's why he was now in his basement."

    Or: Will "dies" and Mike has the biggest crashout the world has ever seen.

    Summary

    Will Byers doesn’t consider himself brave. He considers himself a HD student with a low tolerance for vodka and a talent for leaving early. But bravery, it turns out, isn’t always loud. Sometimes it's handed out like permission slips at crowded college parties: permission to drink too much vodka, to flirt badly, and take a hit from someone else’s cola flavoured vape.

    Or; College AU, Will "Ivy League" Byers/Mike "Teenage Dirtbag" Wheeler

    (Vodka bottle fic previously titled just as 'talk to me')

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.
