Summary
“Hopper doesn’t know I’m gay.”
Jonathan squinted at him, mind prone to lag in the morning. “Why would Hopper not know? You told us as clearly as you could without using the word—”
“He was already on the way to Radio Shack,” Will said in a rush. He gripped his bag tighter so his arms wouldn’t start to flail with panicky emphasis. “He wasn’t there when I came out.”

Summary
He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, swallowing hard. He knows he’s not just some replacement. He’s not a second Max any more than Dustin is a second Mike. That’s stupid. He knows that.
He’s his own person. Him and Max couldn’t be more different if they tried.
But… Max was Lucas’ first love.
The first person he ever kissed. The girl he used to talk about like she was everything, like she was forever, the one he thought he was going to marry when they were just kids, when everything felt simple and permanent.
And, on the other side, Mike had Jane. His first kiss too, his first everything, in a way that stuck.
Will’s chest tightens.
Did Lucas feel that way about Max, the way Mike feels about Jane?
Something deep and steady and impossible to shake?
or, Will and Lucas are on a break. Will's worried that Lucas doesn't really want him, but Lucas is desperate to get his (ex) boyfriend back. Meanwhile, Mike has some letting go to do.

Summary
Mike doesn’t mean for sharing a bed with Will to become a 'thing.' What starts as a one-time thing for a rough night of sleep slowly turns into a habit.
They just sleep better next to each together, that’s all.
It doesn’t hurt that Will blushes at the slightest touch. And Mike definitely doesn’t like seeing it. Because that would be weird.
It's fine until Will gets drunk one night and says something Mike definitely wasn’t supposed to hear.

or, Mike accidentally spends an entire semester making his best friend blush in his bed.

Summary
“No, no, just listen! You're nervous about dating because you’re never been on a date with a guy. But I’m a guy, and I’ve been dating Max for like four years. Or, well, two, or maybe three if you count— the point is, a long time. I have tons of experience, and you won’t have to worry about embarrassing yourself since it’s just me. It’s perfect.”
Will’s brain crashes like an Atari unplugged mid-game. “Uh, what? What are you talking about?”
Lucas stops Will, pulling him off to the side to avoid the stream of sixth-period-bound students. He’s completely sincere. “Go out with me,” he says. Before Will’s jaw can make contact with the floor, Lucas amends, “I mean, not actually, but you can practice with me. I’ll show you what dating is like, and you can practice dating a guy."
Hawkins, senior year. When Will mentions how nervous he is about the prospect of dating, Lucas is quick to lend a hand. It's what any good friend would do, right?

“What’s your first name?”
Will looked up at him, sure that he was glaring. “Why does it matter?”
The boy’s smirk was so sharp, pink and dangerous. “Because I want to know who I’m up against.”
Between ivory walls and dust-covered bookshelves, Will Byers throws himself into an academic rivalry with the arrogant boy in his Philosophy class. He doesn’t understand why Mike refuses to hate Will as much as Will hates him.

Summary
Mike stares at the photo, whispering the words.
His name is Will Byers.
He has huge eyes, a gazillion moles, and a withering sense of humor.
He draws the best pictures.
He moved away when we were thirteen. His mother lives in Florida. He goes to school in Boston.
He is alive.
He was my best friend.
Mike remembers. They haven’t taken everything yet.Seven years ago, Will Byers went missing. After he reappeared, everyone—even his own family—started to forget him.
Now, it’s 1994, twenty-year-old Will is back in Hawkins, WA, and it is happening again.
A mid-90s AU set in the Pacific Northwest, ft.: slowburn Byler, mixtapes, flannel, witchcraft, moody weather, Nirvana, and a spooky eldritch forest.

Summary
“The whole time I was with her, I kept imagining she was…someone different. Someone who was easy to be with. We could just…sit in silence and still be happy. Because we understand each other so well.”
A sick coil forms in Will’s stomach. They’re already like this. Just ten minutes ago they were each doing their own thing a few feet apart, and they were both content. But obviously Mike isn’t talking about him, because Mike doesn’t…like him like that.
In one blink, Mike is still splayed along the bed, and in another, he’s suddenly upright, suddenly very close to Will. Startled, Will reels back, his spine pressed into a knob on Mike’s headboard. Mike’s eyes are wild and crazed as he stares strangely at Will; Will’s are wide and confused as he stares back.
“You know what I mean, right?” Mike says carefully. Now that they’re within arms reach, he wraps a hand gently around Will’s ankle, just above his sock and below the end of his jeans, bare skin on bare skin.
Or: Mike is acting strange, and Will can't figure out why. When he learns it's because Mike is freshly single, Will does his best to be supportive and not at all weird about it. He's doomed.

Summary
will still looks down at his shoes. “but… no letters?” he adds, voice softer. “i would’ve liked at least one letter.”
mike’s mouth opens. closes. opens again.
his brain feels like it short-circuits for a second because yeah, he could’ve written a letter. he just… didn’t. and now will’s standing here in all black with eyeliner and an eyepatch and suddenly mike is realizing how much time actually passed. how much changed without him seeing it happen.
and also there’s this other thing rising up in his chest that he absolutely does not want to examine right now.
“uh,” mike says, backing up half a step. “i— um—”
perfect timing: headlights swing into the lot. nancy’s car. mike latches onto it like a lifeline. “oh, nancy’s here to get me,” he says quickly, pointing even though it’s obvious. “i should— i should go.”
will looks up, something flickering across his face. disappointment, maybe. or just acceptance. “oh,” he says. “okay.”
mike keeps staring at him all weird.
will byers died in 1983, he's found in 1986. he moves to california to be with his family, he's visiting hawkins for the fall. mike wheeler is not prepared.

u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]

Summary
For a long moment, it's quiet. Dustin's chest is heaving with the force of his words, and Will is… standing there, looking shell-shocked, with that barely disguised look of hurt that Dustin once swore he would never, ever inflict upon him.
"...so you think this is my fault?" When Will does speak, it's quiet, the words barely a whisper. Dustin's heart aches at the sound, but not enough to tamper the seeds of anger still sprouting in his chest.
"Think?" Dustin laughs mirthlessly. "Isn't it obvious? Somehow, for some reason, you're the root of everything we've been through. We've all thought it, we all know it, but nobody's been heartless enough to bring it up with you because they're all too busy coddling you instead. Tough luck, Byers, spending all this time being worried about me when you could've been taking some fucking responsibility and actually helping us put a stop to what you started."

Summary
And – that feels awfully revealing, so he adds, “I like the suit.”
Mike brightens, and he’s just a step or two away, now, and Will could reach out and touch him. “I’m glad,” he says, “I was – I was hoping you would.”
“Oh.” Will really wants to kiss him. “Well, I do.”
Mike beams. “Good.”
“Good,” Will echoes, feeling at a loss for what to say, but it doesn’t seem to matter when Mike’s grin only widens, and then his hands are on Will again, like they always seem to be, lately, and Will has no protests when they’re only a few inches away from each other.
Mike has been acting strange, and, if Will didn't know any better, he'd almost think Mike was flirting with him.
Thankfully, he knows better.

Summary
“Okay,” Mike echoes. “So, I was – thinking. We should sleep together.”
Will, for some reason, still looks lost, but he looks cute – sweet, like that, pink cheeks and eyes wide and glossy and the slight furrow of his eyebrows like Mike has given him something outlandish.
“I,” he starts, “don’t understand.”
Mike proposes a sleepover.
Unsurprisingly, no sleeping is done.Series

Summary
Will takes a step sideways, into the walkway leading to the front counter between tables, blocking his sister from Mike's view. "Mike?" he questions, trying for an easy, casual smile; he has no idea what his expression actually reflects. "What are you doing here?"
Mike grins, shrugging as he walks right up to Will, a mere two feet of distance between them. "Needed a change of scenery," he says, equally casual. "Nancy reminded me that you guys live in Montauk now, and I realized I never really visited. Didn't expect to run into you so fast though; is this place… yours?"
And isn't that a loaded question. Will forces a smile on his face, tries to ignore the elephant in the room standing behind him. "Something like that," he says.
~~
or: ten years after graduation, will is living in montauk sharing a pottery shop with el living his best life; at least, he is until mike comes crashing right back into it with a newfound confidence, unaware of el's presence. a romcom

Summary
“Woah,” Will whispers to himself incredulously, laughing a little under his breath as he shuffles through the pages of the letter again. He can’t help but admire the smooth, off-white stationery, its pleasant weight in his hands. A serious-looking “MJW” watermark adorns the top of each page, totally at odds with the entertaining missive and its author’s garbled cursive. Will laughs quietly to himself again. What sixteen-year-old boy on earth has monogrammed stationery?
Michael J. Wheeler, apparently. Where did Max find this guy?
Mike Wheeler is insecure, even by normal teenage standards. So when his friend, Max, connects him with her old friend from California, he's surprised by how easily they get along. But as the weeks wear on, their letters grow increasingly personal, and they make plans to embark on a week-long trip, Mike can't let go of one inconvenient, anxiety-inducing thought: What if he wants to be more than friends?
