Summary
Will smiled back, soft and sweet, like he always was. It was, all in all, the same smile Mike had grown up knowing as well as his own reflection. It was Will's teeth peeking through the slight pull of his chapped lips, and Will's skin wrinkling near his eyes. Mike would know Will's smile anywhere.
Only, that wasn't his smile.
Because that wasn't Will.
"Follow me?" Will asked, and one yellow ray of sunlight punctured the fog, illuminating the tufts of his mud-spattered hair like a halo. It was fitting. If the rest of the town thought Will was the devil, he'd always been an angel to Mike.
And for the life of him, Mike couldn’t remember what it was he’d been so worried about just a second ago.
"Yeah," he answered, treading behind Will and headed for the woods. "Always."
It's the summer of 1987, the town is under lockdown, the people are panicking and praying, and they've pinpointed Will as the one to blame for it all. In fact, nearly everyone seems a little afraid of Will these days, except for Mike.
(Or: Following a desperate ritual to cast the devil out of Hawkins, Will starts acting strangely. Mike starts having dreams.)

Summary
“A game? Now? Here? What game?”
“It’s called... Truth or Switch. The rules are simple: the one giving the massage asks the questions. The other has to answer honestly. And if they don't want to answer, we switch!”
“Switch?”
“Yeah. We swap places. You massage me instead.”
“Mike... did you just make up this game?”
“Yeah. Genius, right?”
Will smiled, and the tension finally seemed to ease. Mike felt a surge of pride in his idea, even if he didn't quite know what he was getting himself into.
Or:
What begins as a way to ease Mike’s insomnia through massages soon spirals into something far more intense — something neither of them really controls.
As comfort turns into obsession and the rules they set for themselves start to break, Mike is ready to burn everything down for him, never realizing that Will is the one stoking the fire.
————
This is a slow burn with sexual tension, LOTS of massages, a not-so-secret relationship, some sex games, and plenty of Mike fighting for Will and against his own demons...- Language:

Summary
Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.
Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.
Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.
