Summary
Through the intense ringing in his ears, Mike registers footsteps pounding down the hallway. The door slams open and the light is flicked on. Someone crashes to their knees beside Mike, pulling him away from the ground and into their arms. Mike thrashes weakly, chest still hitching with sobs, but it’s more painful this time.
He just has to purge himself of his sins.
Yes yes yes. Purge himself. He has to- he has to purge himself.
-- OR --
Vecna's Curse doesn't leave Mike once he gets to California. He's suffering, but hey – at least he gets kissed.

Summary
Will frowns, looking down at his watch and then at Mike as he wheels himself back into the aisle.
“I mean,” he says, looking back down at their empty basket, “we just started, but uh…I don’t really mind. We’ll be done in around–”
“WE MIND!” Dustin shrieks. Will wonders how he hasn’t gotten throat problems yet, considering the sheer volume he’s been yelling at. “WE MIND VERY FUCKING MUCH!”
—— OR ——
Will answers a group call while he’s in Michael. Chaos ensues.

Summary
He recoils in shock and terror when he sees its limbs – twisted and wrong. Its skin is torn open in places and hanging down, he can see the whiteness of bone beneath the torn flesh. A thick spurt of blood wells to the surface and splatters onto the floor between him and the sink.
The creature snarls and Mike screams.
It drops to the ground, twisting in mid-air to land on all fours. Its head is twisted in the wrong angle, its spine is sticking out from its back. More blood falls as the flesh is jostled. A thick, rotting smell fills the air.
Mike keeps screaming.
The handle jangles again, harsher this time. Will’s voice filters through, he sounds panicked. Mike can’t make out the words over the sounds of his own screams.
The creature titters, skittering forward, and Mike stumbles back. He hits the door with a loud thud. He’s still screaming.

Summary
“Well, have you considered that maybe I don’t want to talk to you?” Alarm bells ring in Mike’s head even as the words leave his lips. They blare red and noisy, begging him to shut up and fix this. “Maybe I don’t need you?”
Will rears back like he’s just been slapped. His bottom lip wobbles and his eyes are rapidly filling with tears.
His beautiful hazel eyes that are always filled with warmth and laughter and love – filled to the brim with sad, hurt tears.It hits Mike then, all of a sudden. He put them there. He brought the tears to Will’s eyes. Will, who hadn’t done a single wrong thing. Will, who had been with him the entire time. Will – kind, sweet, caring Will. Who was his friend first and then his boyfriend.
Will, who Mike loved with all his heart.Series

Summary
Those protective instincts kick in and Mike can’t help himself as a crazy, irrational idea takes root in his mind.
An idea that has absolutely nothing to do with seeing Will practically naked in a speedo two nights a week for an entire year. Nope. Definitely not.
“What if I joined the team with you?” Mike blurts, reddening.
Or:
Will and Mike join the Hawkins High swim team in their senior year, spend waaaay too much time together in teeny tiny speedos and one thing leads to another at the pool…
Setting: Post Vecna-defeat (except El lives because she deserves a better ending, just like our boys do), their final year of high school but I’m aging them up to 18 because the content is explicit. (I head canon that the total devastation of Hawkins resulted in their normal high school trajectory getting delayed because that makes more sense than what the Duffers did.)

Summary
Mike accidentally overhears a random girl spilling the fastest way to win a guy's heart in one night: good food, a proper massage, and barely any clothes — preferably, all three at once.
Spoiler: it only takes him thirty-six minutes

we thought this place was haunted (it was just us) by secretxgardensinmyxmind

Summary
Two years after his husband’s death, Mike Wheeler lives quietly in a cliffside mansion with his eight year old daughter and more ghosts than he knows what to do with. He doesn’t talk about the past.
Will Byers isn’t looking for love when he takes the live-in cook job at Rosecliff Manor. He's just trying to start over in a new town, with a new job and with the walls carefully built around his heart.
Living under the same roof wasn’t supposed to mean anything.
But grief recognizes grief.
And sometimes healing looks a lot like falling in love.

Summary
Mike rolls his eyes. “What’s your suggestion?”
“I’m getting there,” Jonathan assures. “I’ve lived in New York alone for the past two years, and haven’t done half of the things I told myself I would. I kept thinking about mom, Will, and Nance—even Hop sometimes. It’s like I’m being held back by the ties I’ve already made.”
Mike nods. “You’re back where you were before, even though you’re on your own.”
“Exactly, and I just know that if I do venture out, I’ll instinctively look for someone—in anything—because I can’t find it in myself.”
“You want to do it together,” Mike confirms for him. Despite knowing, the words come out shocked, leaden. Like Mike knows without answering that he’s not fit for it, but he’ll agree anyway. “Need me to drag you back down to Earth?”
“About as much as you need it,” Jonathan fires back.Directionless in New York, Mike and Jonathan make a pact to find themselves outside of their past partners (One of them runs right back home, and another finds it in someone else)
