Summary
“It’s a distorted mass of pulsing, rotten vines curled into the nooks and crannies of what probably was once a human face.
The face- probably Vecna, Mike thinks- smiles grotesquely, an awful slithering sound somehow reaching Mike’s ears even from behind the mirror.
We finally meet, Michael.”a silly little season five rewrite because i hate the duffers now
WILL INCLUDE (spoilers)
I have seen one too many elmax edits and have now decided that el shall live.

Summary
“We have to kill him,” Mike finishes fiercely, and for a second, Will pictures him in full paladin gear, making the same speech in a castle, or a magical forest, or a dark dungeon. He’s every bit the boy Will’s always known, the one who stands up for his friends and his principles and never, ever backs down. Even when the odds are against them. Even when they’re impossible.
Will swears that he can feel electricity crackling in the air, Mike’s last sentence settling on the group like a physical weight. Everyone looks impressed: Jonathan, Hopper, even Owens. Will knows the look on his own face must be incredibly obvious, incredibly stupid.
He doesn’t care. That’s the Mike he knows. That’s the Party’s leader.
That’s the boy Will fell in love with.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

Summary
“Boris,” Theo says without thinking, “do people think we’re dating?”
“Sure,” Boris replies, “happens all the time. Probably because we’re both gay. Anyway, do you want vanilla ice cream to go on top?”
Or: Boris “fuck-me pumps” Palikovsky and Theodore “gay and homophobic” Decker realize that, as the two worst people on the planet, they’re pretty much made for each other.

Summary
“Well, I can tell this means something to him. I’ve got this feeling about it.”
If Will has a feeling, it means something.
“Okay.” Mike nods. “Tell me about it. When did you see this?”
Will breathes out, dragging a hand down his face that settles over his mouth as he looks over it again. “This is… a memory, I think.” He declares, taking a black marker and inking lines between the reds. “A good one. Maybe not happy, but hopeful.”
(or, the one where will byers spends a lot of time thinking in the shelter at wsqk, and mike wheeler decides to check up on him.)

Summary
The last time he’d stood this close to the edge, Will had been gone, he’d thought he was dead. Nothing had mattered anymore, except protecting his friends, keeping those he had left safe. He hadn't wanted to live then, not without Will. He didn’t want to live now. Not because Will was gone—he was just across town in Mike’s room, probably not thinking about him or where he was for even a second—but because he didn’t deserve to. Because he was wrong, because he was sinful, because he didn’t matter, because nobody needed him and they never had. He’d just wanted them to need him because he’d needed them.
All he ever did was hurt the people he needed. Why would anyone ever need him? He was–
“Mike, where the hell are you?” Will’s voice latched a tether around his chest, pulled him back, pushed down his younger voice, silenced Troy and James.
---
It's October 1986, the Byers have been living with the Wheelers for 3 months now, and Mike can't sleep through the night, waking to nightmares and struggling to reconcile his growing awareness of his feelings for Will with the expectations of everyone around him. It all comes crashing down around him very quickly and suddenly (though it was a long time coming).
