Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don't count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It'll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
....are you sure it was just a crush? ." Mike was speaking again, hesitantly, and he looked like he was asking the most horrifying thing his brain will allow.
Will felt a jolt, deep in his soul. He turned away and closed his eyes quickly to bite back some of the pain in his heart.
"Yeah I'm sure. It was nothing Mike, just a stupid coming of age crush - gone before it even had time to leave a mark." He swallowed, hoping Mike wouldn't hear the wobble in his voice.
Mike was still standing, frozen on the stairs so Will forced himself to half turn back again as he started to walk up. "Seriously Mike, don't even think about it any more, I don't."
And he walked out of the basement door into the hallway to join the others.
Mike was left on the stairs. Hope dead in his eyes. A single tear begging to be released. His heart aching in his chest. He was too late.

*AGED UP CHARACTERS - EVERYONE IS OVER 18*
Set in the 18 month time skip between the final battle and graduation. Mostly from Mike's POV
Kinda slow burn, Mike's crushing realisation that he is in love with Will, followed by months of angst and miscommunication. Eventual smut and a whole lot of fluff.- Language:

Fire in My Heart: Heatwave of '92 by Thetheoryholdstrue

Summary
It's the summer of 1992, and Will Byers has come home. And Mike cannot stop staring.
Mike is on the NYU waitlist. Will just finished his first year of art school in New York. They have one summer in Hawkins before everything changes, and Mike is running out of room to hide.
Fire in My Heart follows Mike and Will from the thick Indiana heat of June through their first months sharing a studio apartment in Brooklyn. Wrestling matches on the basement floor. Long drives that end with the car idling in the dark. A gay bar in Indianapolis where everything finally breaks open. And then New York: two people who have known each other their whole lives, finally figuring out what it means to actually be together.
Grief lives in the walls of this story. The trauma didn't stop when the gates closed. And Mike Wheeler has been in love with his best friend for longer than he's willing to admit, even to himself.

Summary
A polaroid lies face down, stark white against the carpet. Will crouches, breath already unsteady, and turns it over. His breath caught in his throat as the image came into focus, sending a jolt straight through him. Mike's jeans strained visibly against the thick bulge at his crotch, the denim stretched taut over an unmistakable erection.
Dear Will,
If you wanted to see me with a boner, you could've asked instead of drawing it.
Love, MikeOR
Will accidentally gifts Mike an erotic drawing of him, Mike returns the favor by sending him polaroid evidence of what his boners really look like.
