Summary
Mike Wheeler has spent the last four years of college wandering aimlessly through life. He'd followed Will to California, only for Will Byers, his best, most trusted friend, to slowly phase himself out of his life. And frankly, he'd seemed happier without Mike. What was he supposed to make of that?
But then, Mike discovers some things about himself. He starts to find the pieces that he was looking for. And... what is Will supposed to do with that?
(aka: a post-canon "mike finds his way back to will eventually" 90s college fic, in which will byers gets to scream at mike a lil like he deserves, and mike gets to prove himself in return)

Summary
Overall, Mike would say he turned out to be a pretty decent, well functioning adult. Well, how decent and well functioning a twenty-five year old should be. His parents say he’s doing well, that’s something! Nancy comes and visits him sometimes, and she said he’s getting by well, that’s also something! She also said Mike needs to make some new friends or settle down with someone sometime soon. That wasn’t something. Mike hadn’t talked to most of his friends in years. And by years, he means about two years after they graduated and all settled into college. The last he had heard, Lucas and Max were settling in well at college, Dustin was doing pretty well in his studies, and Will…
or
Mike gets invited to Lucas and Max's wedding after going five years without talking to any of them. Upon arriving, he sees Will for the first time in five years.
Will and his very, very interesting boyfriend.

Summary
“I’m just worried. What if it's just like California and I end up back here again?” Will’s eyebrows knit together with anxiety.
“It won't be like Califorina. I’ll be there with you,” Mike says, putting a hand on Will’s knee. Will’s breath hitches just a little before his face relaxes. Maybe it really will be okay.

Summary
After Hawkins split in four, the world didn’t end, but it didn’t go back to normal, either.
The Byers have moved in with the Wheelers, and Will's life has turned completely upside down. Mike convinced his parents to let Will stay in his room, and the closeness keeps creating accidental moments that get increasingly harder to ignore.
Some things, it turns out, are a lot harder to survive than interdimensional monsters.
Or, Mike what the fuck did you do gate!!
