Summary
There are three things Will and Mike learn on a random afternoon after high school graduation:
- Teen magazine quizzes are way more intense than expected.
- They are wildly unprepared for college.
- Taking advice from anonymous “fever confessions” is a terrible idea.Unfortunately, they only realize the third one after they’ve already started acting on the first two.
Or:
Will and Mike accidentally read a very inappropriate teen magazine and decide the best way to prepare for college is to practice being less inexperienced… on each other.

Summary
“No!” Mike exclaimed, “Holly, I’m not marrying him!”
“Why?” Holly whined, as Mike tried to walk away. She threw both arms around his legs and sank to the floor, sitting on his feet so that it was extremely difficult to walk.
“Because,” said Mike, trying to free himself from her grip by shaking his legs. She only held on tighter.
“But he’s so amazing,” said Holly, as Mike shuffled his feet slowly when he realised she would not be relinquishing her hold on him anytime soon. He dragged her into the hallway so he could put on his coat. “He’s the best, most incrediblest, most fantastic babysitter in the whole world! You should marry him!”
Or; Will Byers, well-known as an outcasted freak at Hawkins High, is Holly Wheeler’s babysitter, and perhaps the loveliest person Mike has ever met.

Summary
It’s 8.56am, which means Will’s alarm will go off in 4 minutes. He’ll wake up, then text Mike to let him know his pre-heat has started, and Mike will let him know he’s on his way. He knows this, because he has turned looking after Will Byers into an art form - a carefully choreographed dance of adoration and tending.
Right on schedule, his screen lights up with a notification.
Mike might not look like an alpha, but he's doing his best to act like one.

In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.

What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.

After first using his powers, Will falls unconscious—and stays that way. Refusing to leave Will's side, Mike reflects on the last year and a half while he waits for Will to wake up.aka mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate, FEATURING: wound cleaning, bed sharing, disco, Jealous!Mike, queer literary analysis, & the most horrifying eldritch specter of all (gay panic).

Summary
"Can I even stop?" The tears smarting in Mike's eyes came halfway from frustration, half pure despair. "I mean, what if being homophobic is like being gay? What if I can't control it?"
Mike could feel Max's disbelief through the cellphone. "That's really not—" and she paused, sighing loudly. Mike could genuinely hear her facepalm. "Jesus Christ, Mike. Do you want to be an ally or not?"
After freaking out on Will for kissing a guy, Mike turns to Max for help. Max helps him out, in her own meddling way.

Summary
I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
.Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.
Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.
It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.
But now?
Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.
It was driving Will crazy.

Summary
“What?” Dustin says. “If it wasn’t a girl, then who else would he kiss?”
Lucas elbows him. “A boy, obviously.”
“Well he didn’t kiss me,” says Dustin.
“And it wasn’t me,” says Lucas.
“Which leaves—”
Dustin and Lucas turn to face Mike and Will at the exact same time.
“Mike,” Dustin says plainly.
“Holy shit, you guys kissed?” Lucas’s face lights up in a grin.
“Yes,” Will says, looking at the floor. There. It’s out now.
“No?” Mike says, at the exact same time.
Max looks between them. “Uh-oh,” she says.
Mike and Will were each other's first kiss as kids. When the memory resurfaces during a drinking game almost a decade later, Mike and Will must navigate the aftermath of that kiss and the lingering feelings-which gets complicated considering Mike has no memory of their kiss ever happening.

Summary
"It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."
"You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.
"Absolutely."
Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.
After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.
Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonspeaking autistic, and Mike is also autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

Summary
“You… um, smoke?” Will asks before he can stop himself, swallowing as he watches a boy lean against the dusty, cracking brick wall.
Will doesn’t know much about the boy, except that his name is Mike and his father is the pastor.
“What?” He replies, pulling the cigarette from his lips and lightly blowing the smoke from his mouth. “Just because my dad is the pastor, you think I can’t enjoy a cigarette?
OR:
Will Byers is no stranger to religious guilt. He carries it everywhere he goes, and it’s starting to weigh him down.
When he meets Mike Wheeler, the pastor’s son, he realizes there is more to life than just fearing God, and it’s much scarier.

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

“That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”
“Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”
Or
Dustin Henderson has a plan.
It is a good plan.
The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.- Language:

Summary
His eyes widen as he takes him in. Mike. He almost couldn’t believe it was him at all.
“Stare a little harder, would you?” Mike said hoarsely, breaking the silence.
“Sorry,” Will breathed, and then shook himself out of… whatever he was doing; ogling, oh god. He was ogling Mike. “I didn’t mean to—you’re just, you look different.”
When Will Byers' powers come to light, Will and Mike are sent on a world-shifting adventure across universes that slowly serve to answer for that yawning chasm of lies and uncertainties between them. It may also, simulataneously, lead them straight to the salvation that they've all been waiting for, for far too long:
Purging their lives of the Upside Down, finally, once and for all.

Summary
Mike lets out a frustrated groan and knocks his head back against the seat—like Hopper’s the one being cryptic here.
Mike’s voice cracks slightly when he repeats, “He hurt Will.” More urgent this time. More desperate.
“Okay. I get that,” Hopper says slowly. “But it doesn’t explain why—”
Mike cuts him off, sharp. “If Will didn’t tell you, then I’m not telling you.”
-
When Hopper gets a call about that damn Wheeler kid, he's pissed. Until he realizes what exactly he's dealing with.
