    Summary

    In the end, it doesn’t matter. None of it fucking matters. Because what’s really in control is the tension. This elusive string tied between their chests that’s always changing length. Right now it’s so short and taught and strong that Will can’t imagine resisting it. So really, it was never a matter of if he would. Just when. When will he fold? When will he let go and let himself follow Mike into the water?

    He dares to glance down at his knees, where he can see Mike’s fingers peeking out from behind his calves (as if he needed that visual reminder that they’re touching), and then back up to meet Mike’s expectant gaze.

    He’s going to do it. He’s such a fucking idiot.

    OR

    Mike & Will have a long overdue conversation on the way back to Hawkins— by, in, and around a random motel pool.

    Summary

    It hits him when he’s packing her lunch.

    Its not the first time he’s done it. It’s the fourth, actually. She’s been here, with him, a little over a week. Nancy, his mom, and his dad have been dead a little over a month now. Holly wants peanut butter and nutella on her sandwich, and he knows for a fact Mom never let her have peanut butter and nutella. Too much sugar. Mom is dead.

    He spreads peanut butter on one side. A little less nutella on the other. Wonders if he’s doing this wrong, if Mom had a special way of making sandwiches that he suddenly can’t remember.

    Something drips off of his chin. Hits his wrist. Itches a little. Dries there. Oh. He’s crying.

    OR

    Mike takes custody of Holly after the death of their parents and older sister. He, Will and Holly are all just figuring it out as they go.

    Summary

    A sick, ugly, twisted part of Mike wonders if his nose has to start bleeding before someone notices he doesn't wanna be around anymore.

    It’s stupid. It’s so incredibly stupid it hurts, and Mike knows it. He’s sixteen years old. He can handle the thoughts and the darkness and how bad it gets each and every winter, like clockwork. He doesn’t even need help, not like he thought he used to. He learned what real hurt was the fall Will went missing.

    He just…feels like it never quite stopped hurting.

    OR

    Mike is depressed. He doesn't quite think he deserves to be, most of the time. Will disagrees.

    I'm screaming (internally, because it would draw attention if I did it out loud but still). Low-key tearing up rn? There's a gentle sort of hope that this fic gives you like ugh. The way Will isn't Mike's magic cure or anything, but still helps soothe the ache. Genuine love goes a long way.
    Such an underrated gem like actually? Of course depressed Mike Wheeler is always something I'm looking for more of, but this is just superb

    Summary

    The world is ending, one of his closest friends is in a hospital in a coma, his girlfriend isn’t talking to him, and all Mike can worry about is how Will’s smile isn’t reaching his eyes and it’s all his fault.
     
    It’s the post volume two, canon compliant attempt at figuring out where mike and will can go after all that.

    A great little read:D. Addresses the "my life started the day I found you in the woods" line in probably my favorite most realistic way I've seen someone do so far.

    Summary

    “Are you having a fucking episode right now?” Max says, furrowing her brows. She doesn’t understand and Mike doesn’t know how to make her. He can’t say it out loud, not in full.

    “I didn’t love her because she wasn’t who I wanted her to be.” He admits in a rush of words. 'Because she wasn't Will' goes unsaid.

    or: max and mike as steve and robin in robin's coming out scene
