Summary
Mike and Will are stuck together on patrol under Hopper’s orders and are left aimlessly wandering the woods, hoping they won’t encounter any monster-shaped surprises. Mike’s top priority is to not let Will out of sight, which is no problem for him- yet maybe that is the real problem here. Coupled with his embedded pledge to protect Will, he’s totally successful in making a fool out of himself. But, Will’s not his only audience, not for long anyway…
Our boys get themselves tangled up in a crazy (together) little side quest that’ll ultimately lead to a familiar pair coming to their rescue, with serious deja vu.
or
What if Will and Mike got the Season 1 Jancy treatment?

Summary
In no way was El deserving of this. But there was nearly no time left. He couldn’t keep this up much longer. It wouldn’t have been fair. To El and to Mike. Mainly to El.

Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has a lot of problems with where his life has ended up, but his most prevalent at the moment has to be just how irrevocably stupid his decisions have started to become.
-
Or, in which it takes almost a decade post-finale for Mike to finally accept what he's spent his whole life running from... but better late than never, right?
(Featuring: messy post-college Byler, platonic soulmates Madwheeler, and Mike Wheeler's severely unmedicated BPD)

Summary
Will lets out a shaky gasp. "Mike."
Mike shivers. "Oh, fuck- don't."
"What?" he pants.
"Don't- don't say that."
"What? Mike?" Will asks in a low voice. Mike's hips jerk, and his dick twitches against Will's leg.
"Mm- mmhm." He hums into Will's shoulder.
"Oh. ...Oh. You like that."
OR
It's the summer before their junior year of college, and it's just like any other. Except for the fact that Will is staying at the Wheelers,' and he's muscular now, and Mike has a new idea to get Will to keep sleeping in his bed.
