    Summary

    Steve looks between the four identical faces. “You’re not even a little curious?” he asks. “About how your other lives are going?”

    “No,” Mike answers, immediate.

    Too immediate.

    Mike with the eyebrow ring snorts. The one in the tracksuit glances at Will again—just a flick of the eyes. The knight folds his hands behind his back and looks at the first Mike like he’s deeply disappointed.

     

     
    [Or: The one where several Mikes exist simultaneously, and every single one of them is Will’s problem.]

    Summary

    “Fuck you, Mike.”

    Will sounds like he really means it. Still, he doesn’t look away from Mike’s lips, as if caught there. Caught between his anger and something else entirely.

    Mike swallows, keenly aware of the blood that’s trickled down his face and into his mouth. “Fuck me?”

    As it turns out, going to university in a new city doesn't help Mike get over his unresolved feelings for Will. Such is Mike's luck that, when the party reunites in Hawkins for the break, Will seems to be completely over Mike—and he has his extremely likeable boyfriend in tow.

    Or, Mike is the kind of drunk who makes out with a guy while pretending he’s his estranged childhood best friend, then realizes his feelings for said friend may not be as straight as he had hoped.

    (Title from "Whole Love" by Wilco. Formerly called “Smalltown Boy.”)

    Summary

    In which Mike and Will, best friends of fifteen years, move into their shared apartment after three years of college. Mike’s jealousy is put to a test as he’s confronted with one of Will’s many hook-ups, followed by an emotional Friday-night breakdown on the kitchen floor.

    When feelings that have been simmering for almost a decade finally surface, they have to figure out what they are —and what they want to become.

    Summary

    Step 1: Agree to go to the Renaissance Faire with your best friend.

    Step 2: Realize that said best friend looks like a literal fantasy heartthrob in a star-dusted velvet sorcerer’s hood.

    Step 3: Fall in love all over again.

     

    or;

    Mike Wheeler has a plan: be a good friend, keep his hands to himself, and definitely do not let Will Byers know he’s been pining for him since the 1980’s.

    But, between the mead, the crowded stalls, and the way Will looks draped in purple velvet, the Paladin within him is losing his grip on reality.
