Summary
Will doesn’t know how they got here. Ten months ago, things were good. They were good. Mike was his friend. Mike was the one person who treated him normally. Like he was his old self again.
But then again, normal boys don’t die for a week and come back. When normal boys die, they stay dead.
Things Will knows, things Will doesn't know, and things Will learns, in time.

Summary
"Does anyone else think their partner is… edible?” Mike asks, not really directing the question to anyone specific as he spreads blankets over the couch.
When he looks up, the room has gone silent and is staring at him. Dustin’s eyes are wide, looking slightly mortified, Lucas’ eyebrows are furrowed in blatant confusion, and Max looks like she wants Mike to never open his mouth if those were the words he was going to speak. Mike can’t help the way he immediately flushes.
aka; mike wants to eat will affectionately, the party knows this but not their relationship, and he's so, so whipped.

Summary
Will lets out a small squawk as Mike’s hand— his very cold, very freezing hand— finds its way around the blankets and under his sweater. “I’m sick, you weirdo,” he says, half-laughing into the side of Mike’s head, “I have a fever.”
“I don’t care,” Mike mumbles, “you’re warm and I’m cold. This is nice.”
“You’re going to get sick,” Will tries, for the umpteenth time, but it’s pointless. Mike Wheeler is stubborn and hardheaded and he never does anything halfway— not even this.
Will gets sick. He's dealing with it. Seriously, Mike- he's fine.

Summary
Will experiences the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) after the loss of his brother Jonathan. This fic basically goes thru how his grief impacts his relationships with others as well as his view of himself and the world. yeah this is pretty depressing. lowk vent fic?? idk if i can call it that but idrc. this characterisation of Will might not necessarily be one you agree with and i totally get that, but i think it makes a lot of sense. oh yeah this completely disregards most of what happened canonically in s5. have fun y'all stay safe

Summary
Mike searched his eyes. “Will, I’m right here. I’m here.”
“I know.” Will said, too quickly, as though he was compensating for something. He knew that Mike was with him, yet something was deeply, seriously wrong.
“I know.” He said again, quieter.
A beat. Will was breathing faster now, eyes focusing and unfocusing at what seemed like an uncomfortable speed. The air suddenly felt thicker. His eyes dialed in on the corner of Mike’s mouth.
“I can’t see you.”
Or:
The Mindflayer's death (and by extension, the Hive) left Will Byers without sight. As he tries to navigate this new existence, Mike wrestles with his identity and love for Will.
