Summary
Mike Wheeler has a simple plan: survive thirty days at Camp Lyre and prove—once and for all—that he is a perfectly normal, perfectly straight best friend.
But denial is hard when Will Byers looks like a masterpiece Mike isn’t allowed to touch—all messy hair, honey-tanned skin, and a laugh that makes Mike’s heart do a desperate, tactical retreat.Between picking silent wars with anyone who looks at Will too long and using the hazy, alcohol-blurred hours of the night to inch closer than a (straight)best friend ever should, Mike is losing a battle he never declared.
Or: Mike Wheeler is a counselor with his best friends while he’s stuck watching Will fall in love with everything at Camp Lyre—except him.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is a mess. Nearly thirty years old, a closeted virgin, and secretly in love with his childhood best friend. What better way to turn things around than to spend his thirtieth birthday with the Party playing D&D? When Will casts an overpowered Zone of Truth spell, Mike fears the campaign is over. Except the spell doesn't target the NPC holding the key to victory—Mike is the affected creature.
What starts as an innocent evening filled with adventure quickly devolves into a humiliating display of lust as Mike answers the Party's questions about his sexual preferences and his feelings for a certain someone. Even worse, he comes to find that Will is more than happy to get him alone to continue the interrogation.
or
“Let’s roll for it.”
“I already have to tell you the truth if you ask,” Mike says.
“True,” Will smiles. “But this is more fun, right? A proper persuasion check?”
“Okay,” Mike breathes out. “I’m- I’m still the DM, so… You roll for persuasion. Let’s say the Difficulty Class is ten. That’s fair, right?”
It might as well be a five, hell, maybe even a two. Mike’s too eager, too fucking desperate to not be persuaded by any suggestion of his.

ever get the feeling that you're never all alone? by falloutboi for Wheeee, glossyjm

Summary
Anyways, the point is, Will thinks, that maybe his ghost roommate has escalated from small pranks and is actually now watching Will. Will supposes that's fine, but he does think that maybe it's a little perverted of the ghost to watch Will masturbate. Will trudges back into the house to wash his hands in the kitchen, crinkling his nose. He probably should be more upset about having a perverted ghost roommate, but sue him, he's lonely (and kind of horny).
Will dries his hands off on an old dish towel and resigns himself to spending the rest of the afternoon on the couch, lounging around and flipping through channels on the staticky box TV.
Maybe his perverted ghost roommate likes The X-Files too.
In which Will thinks that his house is haunted (and he's right).

Summary
Mike Wheeler was dead.
This wasn't supposed to happen, it was an accident. It was late, and Mike had been driving for what felt like a short blip in his day— but it was dark, and thick fog coated the streets as he sped off into the night towards his shared home, to get to Will.
He didn’t see the other car in time.
The drunk driver didn’t see him.- Or -
Mike dies in a car accident, and his fiancé, Will, finds out he can communicate with him in the afterlife (ghost!mike).

Summary
Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.
Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while.
It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.
Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler.
OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

Summary
Will could not help the question that burst from his lips, it had been ricocheting around his brain like a stray tennis ball and was simultaneously causing him the most excitement, distress and exhilaration he had felt in his entire life.
“Are you my husband?” he blurted. Mike blinked in surprise.
“What?”
Will lost his nerve slightly. He wondered if he had been horribly wrong about this, and maybe in this strange timeline he was just a friend staying over and maybe he’d made a mistake and the daughter wasn’t really his daughter and—
Will faltered. “Um, I — well, I just thought you were — I mean, you are my husband, right?”
Mike looked very alarmed. He was staring at Will as though he had grown a second head.
“Obviously…?” he said, “Are you feeling alright? Did your mom make you try her D-I-Y coffee again?”
When nineteen-year-old Will Byers wakes up to find himself in his forty-three-year-old body, he must—with no experience whatsoever—play the part of world-renowned freelance painter, father of two very troublesome teenagers, and most strangely of all: Mike Wheeler’s husband.
