Summary
“Daddy, wake up,” she pleaded. “You’re having a bad dream. Please wake up.”
Will’s head turned then, slowly, and it was hard for Rose to understand how he still couldn’t actually see her, when it felt like he was staring straight through her eyes and directly to the back of her skull. “Rose,” he rasped, and her blood crystallized in her veins. This was not her father’s honey-sweet voice. It sounded like gravel running through a rock tumbler. And he never, ever called her just Rose, unless she was in big trouble. “You need to run. NOW.”
--------------------
Five-year-old Rose Maldonado is not afraid of anything. Until one night in early November when she stumbles upon her sleepwalking father having a horrible nightmare, and her parents realize it might be time to start telling their daughter the truth about what happened to them back in November 1983.
(ft. an extensive flashback of elmike platonic besties addressing the total bs final battle in a way that turns it into byler proof, because screw the duffers!!!!! you're in MY house now!!!!!!!!!)

“It’s like he…” Robin trailed off.
Will raised his eyebrows at her imploringly.
Robin fiddled with her hair. “So you guys read comic books and all that nerdy shit, right?”
Lucas scoffed.
“So you know how there’s always this one supervillain with this really weird interest in the heroine?” Robin asked. “Like he thinks she’s too good for everyone else and should just… like… be with him?”
Will’s cheeks were turning a hot scarlet. “Robin–”

Summary
“Was…” Mike began slowly. “Was anyone there? In your memories?”
“Yeah,” The answer was immediate, then Will began to hesitate. His expression faltered as he turned away, nervously fidgeting with a loose thread on the couch’s armrest. “Yeah, there were. My mom, Jonathan… you.”
Mike immediately perked up. The quickness with which Mike looked up was honestly a bit embarrassing, but he had to make sure he was understanding Will correctly. Mike had been there. Joyce and Jonathan being there made sense. They were Will’s mom and brother. Obviously, Will had been thinking of them. But he had said Mike was there, too. That had to mean something, right?
“Just me?” Mike asked, a bit too anticipatory.
~~~
After the MAC-Z attack and the sudden awakening of Will's powers, Mike finds that he can no longer ignore the burning in his chest whenever he thinks about his best friend. And even scarier, he never wants to ignore the feeling again.Bookmarked by flowerbit

Summary
“That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”
“Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”
Or
Dustin Henderson has a plan.
It is a good plan.
The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.- Language:

Summary
“Why do you laugh?” Mike the Brave asked. The question was utterly sincere. He could not fathom the source of the mockery, of why Mike would be laughing at his display of fealty.
Mike spluttered, his face flushing. “I—It’s just… you only got him a book off the shelf? That’s your big ‘honour to serve’ moment? It’s just… a book.” He gestured vaguely, defensively, at the book, embarrassed.
Will the Wise’s lips curved into a smile tinged with sorrow. He looked from the flustered boy to his own beloved protector, his hand reaching up to stroke his Paladin’s cheek.
“He has crossed realms for me,” Will the Wise said, his melodic voice filling the cottage. “He has faced beasts and shadows and the silence of the abyss. He would do anything for me, and I for him. The grand quests are written in songs and psalms, sung by revellers around fires and bards in the inn. But the story of us… it is written in these small things. In a fetched book, a mended cloak, a tender kiss in the dawn light.” He looked directly at the younger Mike, his gaze piercingly kind. “We like to remind each other of our affections. In every possible way. There is no deed too small to be an act of love.”

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
“He really does look like Mike,” Lucas breathes, as he gives Mike’s twin a scan, head to toe.
“Yeah, if Mike were way hotter and a knight?” Max chips in, and Will can vaguely hear Mike muttering again. “He looks so medieval, like he’s from Camelot or some shit.”
“I am Michael,” the knight begins to plead again. He turns his doe eyes back to Will, returning to his side like a diligent guard, even going as far as to reach out and take his hands. “Please, you have to believe me. I would never lie to you. Have I ever broken our oath? Let me prove it.”
Will was a bit preoccupied with gazing into the knight’s eyes, his cheeks flushing under the intense stare and the way his hands were held so gently. Mike had no issues ruining their moment.
“And he’s weirdly obsessed with Will.” Mike sounds even angrier than he did in the woods, and his sharp tone is enough for Will to snap out of his hand-holding to step a respectable distance away from the knight. “We need to send him back to wherever he came from.”
or
Mike the Brave ends up in Hawkins and sweeps Will off his feet. Mike has a lot of Feelings™ about it.

Summary
"Oh, right. You're not my Mike."
"…huh?"
Will sighs, moving his hand back to his chest, settling it comfortably under his chin.
"I thought you were," he continues, like what he was saying made any sense and he wasn't talking about Mike to Mike like they were two different people, "for a moment, at least. But my Mike doesn't look like you. Doesn't act like you."
or: after the fight at the MAC-Z, Will can feel his bones breaking even though they're completely fine and gets fed a heavy dose of painkillers that might as well function as a truth serum too.

Summary
“That’s not my favorite.”
“Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”
Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.
“Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”
Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.
Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.
Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”
Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

Today was Friday, which means the kids were all hopped up on weekend excitement. They bounce off the walls and eat all the chips and bring their friends over to do whatever the hell kids do these days. They order pizza and play music too loud and ruin Mike’s life.
It’s not that he hates the kids; he doesn’t. He wouldn’t. He just hates what they do to him. More to come on this later.

Summary
The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.
It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.

After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.

Will and Mike's Excellent Adventure by Nymphadoragreenleaf

18 Feb 2023

Summary
“Mike?” Will’s voice quivered, distracting him from his tests, “I don’t think we’re in your basement anymore?”
“Huh?” Mike stared gormlessly at Will whose head was swinging widely from point to point around the room.
“We’re not in your basement!” Will said, definitely sounding panicked at this point.
It took a moment for Will’s words to compute, his brain struggling to catch up as he regained his remaining mental facilities. Which would make more sense had he landed on his head, not his back.
Not being in his basement would explain the soft landing, white ceiling, and the spontaneous music at least. It saved him a broken back that’s for sure.
He slowly peeked around the room taking in the large double bed, sturdy set of drawers, and the overflowing bookcase tucked in the corner.
No way!
No freaking way!
He was back!
