Summary
Mike clumsily sneaks out to Lucas's get some things off his chest.
--
"Like I said, you're hopeless."Mike went and flopped on Lucas's bed on his back. "I don't know what to do," He said staring at the ceiling, filled with those sticky stars. He thinks about Will pointing up at the night sky and tracing the Big Dipper for him when they were 10. "He's the first person I've ever loved. I don't wanna fuck it up."

Summary
Lucas looks a little hurt. "But you could have told us it happened?"
Will resists the urge to bang his head on the table. Probably wouldn't help his case.
"I mean, I couldn’t really— it was—" He looks at Mike, gives a tiny shrug and a head shake, something subtle enough to be not picked up on by the rest, hopefully. A hail-Mike. A please find a way to help me out of this lie.
And Mike Wheeler, he does know how to answer a call.
"It was me," Mike says.
Will gets caught up in a lie about not being a virgin. Mike decides to help out. This surely will not spiral.

Summary
"Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”
“Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”
“Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”
Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

Summary
She moved her gaze one last time, and let it rest on Will Byers, who was standing against the wall on the opposite of the room. He was, too, staring at El, she saw.
Actually, though… was he really looking at El?
Robin furrowed her brows, and tried to follow his gaze. He didn’t really look like he was focusing either, with his dark circles and lips pressed together, eyes looking zoned off from where she was standing. No, he looked completely out of it, almost as if he was in pain, staring at…
Robin’s heartbeats picked up.
Will Byers was not staring at El. He was staring at Mike Wheeler.or: my take on how robin would figure out how will is gay too, and how they'd get to know each other

Summary
Midge shut the door behind her as she left and, finally closed in with nothing but the faint sound of traffic to keep her company, Susie let herself drop heavily onto the end of the bed. Her coat made a faintly alarming crunching noise beneath her, but she ignored it. She hadn’t worn it since they’d last been in New York and she couldn’t remember what it might be anyway. Whatever was in her pockets, it probably wasn’t important.
They were back. Maybe everything would be alright, after all.

Summary
Mike is the son of a duchess. The Byers are merchants in the nearby town. As children, they met in the woods, and for seven years they played there together - and fell in love, in the sweet-savage way that children do. When the House of Wheeler was relocated by order of the king, sweet, noble-hearted twelve-year-old Mike tearfully promised he’d come back and marry Will when they were older.
Over ten years pass. They haven’t seen each other since, and Will doesn’t expect to. Until a red-haired swordmaiden from House Wheeler arrives at their doorstep, delivering a letter. It's Mike, Will's childhood sweetheart that he hasn't felt heartbreak for in years, asking if he wants to uphold their childhood promise.
Lonnie is ecstatic. The Byers haven't been doing well, of late, and this could be their out. Will isn't so sure.
But when they arrive to the Wheeler Mansion, they discover another wrinkle: while Mike promised himself to Will over a decade ago, his parents just recently promised him to Elenor Jane of the House of Brenner.
The debate now stands - which promise is more legitimate in the eyes of society and the law?
And more importantly, do either of them still want each other after all this time?Series

Summary
Will has always loved Mike’s hands.
Like the rest of him, they’re long - his fingers especially. Too many times, Will has found himself distracted by the sight of an entire soda can seeming to disappear in one of those hands. Will knows those hands, he knows the shape and angles of them - the rectangle of the palm, the web of tissue between the base of the fingers, the half-ovals of his nails, the knobs of the knuckles, the delicate pull of a tendon standing out in his wrist when he flexes a certain way. The barely-there dusting of hairs across the backs. The pink blush of fingertips, distinct from the freckled cream tones of palm and wrist, touched by a tan in the summer months. That one specific freckle just at the base of his thumb. Will’s sketchbooks are frequented by likenesses of Mike’s hands, his fingers.
It doesn’t help that he knows what those fingers can do.
But Will doesn’t just love Mike’s hands because they happen to be very skilled at getting him off. No, he loved them far before that. Before any of that. And he still does, simply by merit of their being part of Mike.
-_-_-
Mike doesn't like his appearance. Will wants to help out with that.Bookmarked by floatingshadow

Summary
Sometimes Will can summon the other side of himself on purpose, if he needs it to use his powers - but usually he’d rather it not come to that.
Usually if it slips out, if he slips into the other headspace, that other mindset, it’s the opposite of intentional.Basically: established relationship, college age. Monster!Will as a side effect of the Upside Down - kind of a vaguely split personality type deal plus Demon Aesthetics. The monster side of Will hasn't done anything sexual with Mike yet and it's starting to wear on him.
I don’t know why the fuck I’m writing this.

Summary
Fantasy AU.
**
According to Joyce, with the witch’s death, the land turned bad. Fields of rich, black soil turned to sand and crumbled away until even the most experienced farmers struggled to make anything take root. The woods, once filled with game and birds, were eerily silent. It was as if all life fled when the witch drew their final breath. All of this ‘used to be’ was second hand knowledge to Will; he’d never seen it any other way.
He didn’t mind the quiet or the difficult land. He’d never cared for chatter and concocting new methods to enrich his fields was a challenge, nothing more. Will tended his crops, mixed things like horse dung, egg shells, and rotting vegetation into the earth to help it thrive. He liked to whisper to his seedlings when no one could see and would happily traverse back and forth on Damora’s back as many times as was needed to bring water to them when the sky refused to offer any. Every time Will set a seed to ground, he offered a prayer. Sometimes it felt like the earth heard him, that he could actually hear it answer.
