Summary
Will Byers has spent most of his life on the sidelines.
Ever since he and his twin sister, Jane, presented as a rare male omega and female alpha, Will has lived his days inside a carefully crafted glass prison. In search of better medical care and more open-minded values, Joyce and Jim—their mother and stepfather—moved the entire family to Lenora, California.
Without the familiar bounds of Hawkins and the pack he and Jane grew up with, Will has been drifting. Over the years, the distance between him and his old friends has grown wider and wider, as he continues to struggle with his identity in a world that holds a stubborn, one-sided view of omegas.
With that struggle comes an unfortunate reality: even after four long years of dating, Will still can’t stop pining after his sister’s boyfriend—his childhood best friend—Mike Wheeler.
By now, Will should be used to the feeling of being second best. He isn’t.
When his frustration at feeling stuck in one place finally reaches its breaking point, he decides it’s time to give up and move on.In response, something stirs.
Fanfic title inspired by Second Best by The Last Dinner Party.

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 friend 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
"I could scent you."
"What?" Will squeaked, head snapping up.
Mike's eyes widened, realizing what he'd just said. "Just, like, a light-scent," he rushed out. "But we do it a little longer than normal. It won't be as strong as Lucas on Max, but it'll work if anyone gets too close. They'll smell me and hopefully leave you alone."
"You think so?"
"I know so."
OR
Will wants the alphas to leave him alone at the club. Mike offers a solution, which quickly snowballs into an avalanche of excessive scenting, changing boundaries, and a lot of exploring between two best friends.

Summary
Lucas snorted, glancing at Mike out of the corner of his eyes, “You’re saying William Byers is a more complicated subject for you than your parents' sudden divorce?”
“Unironically, yes,” grumbled Mike.
“Dude.”
Mike sighed, looking at the ceiling. “I know, Lucas, okay? I know.”
Or; Karen leaves Ted and subsequently kickstarts Mike's journey to reclaim his bravery.

Summary
“He was looking at it. Earlier.”
Mike’s eyes do that darkening thing again. “Yeah?”
Will nods. With Mike looking at him like that, he suddenly feels like his voice is going to give out. But after a moment, Mike’s expression lifts again, soft smile taking over his face. He nudges Will’s shoulder with his own. “Told ya it’d work.”
“I guess,” says Will. His own smile doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
Or, Mike helps Will make his co-worker jealous. Which, apparently, means covering Will in hickeys and making out with him.

Summary
All his life Will has felt different—been different. He's gay, for one, and for another, he, despite the love of his life presenting as an omega, has no desire whatsoever to be his alpha—to even be an alpha. All Will wants is for Mike to be his in the same way he's Mike's, and he finally gets his chance one late Saturday afternoon when he has a scent finally and it's not alpha musk nor beta neutrality, but the sweetness of something he's all too familiar with after all his time with Mike—omega.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Summary
“Shit, shit,” Will scrambles to the floor-length mirror he’d found propped up on a dumpster at the end of his Freshman year. He pulled at his sweater and fluffed his hair. “Coming!”
He trips over his feet rushing to get to the door, before freezing to glance at the tiny apartment. His sketchbooks are everywhere, his bed is unmade, and he hasn’t scooped Bowie’s litter box today. There isn’t time to do anything about it now.
Taking a calming breath in, he yanks open the door.
There, in his doorway with a giant goofy grin, stands Michael Wheeler.
-or
Will is settling in Chicago, finishing up school, and dating. Mike is a college dropout on his 10th manuscript rejection with nothing to look forward to but Will's visits home. When Will cancels at the last minute, Mike impulsively shows up at his door. They adjust to old comforts and new discomforts, struggling to agree on what they are to each other.

Summary
“You left a jumper behind.” Mike says. Will’s brows furrow. “The night you presented, you left your jumper behind and I only found out after you’d left. So I just… kept it.”
“So?”
“So, I spent the whole of my first rut buried in that jumper.” Mike huffs out a little nostalgic laugh as he tells Will that. As if he hasn’t just taken Will’s world and spun it on his axis. “Seriously. Nobody smells as good as you, Will.”
“Nobody?”
“Nobody.”

Summary
It was Lucas who broke it, looking over at Mike "Hey. The floor's open, by the way. If you wanted."
Mike blinked. "What?"
"Oh yeah! We always end up talking about this stuff without you." Dustin said, rolling onto his side. "Lucas talked about Max. I've been monologuing about Stacy for over a month, which in retrospect was a waste of everyone's time-"
"Tremendous waste." Mike agreed. "Historic, really."
"-and you've got something going on now." He shrugged. "It's your turn."
Mike looked at Lucas, who raised his eyebrows in a quiet yeah, what he said.
He looked back at Dustin. "You want me…to talk to you about having sex with Will?"
In which Dustin is a shit head and Mike ends up oversharing about his sex life.

Summary
Mike overhears Will telling Jonathan that he’s afraid to come out to his friends and decides the best solution to this is to come out to Will first (even though he’s totally straight), except instead of coming out to him, Will takes Mike on a journey of self-acceptance, unraveling internalized homophobia and introducing him to queer culture. Mike really hopes this doesn’t awaken anything in him (spoiler: it definitely does).

Summary
Will Byers doesn’t consider himself brave. He considers himself a HD student with a low tolerance for vodka and a talent for leaving early. But bravery, it turns out, isn’t always loud. Sometimes it's handed out like permission slips at crowded college parties: permission to drink too much vodka, to flirt badly, and take a hit from someone else’s cola flavoured vape.

Summary
Mike moves in his bed, and Will's eyes stay firmly on the ceiling. "I feel like we barely know each other anymore."

There’s a long lapse of silence, and then –
“Can you come up here?”
In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.

Summary
Will looked up.
Mike was frozen mid–chew, a piece of pasta hanging stupidly from his fork. His eyes were wide, fixed on Will’s chest.
On the hoodie.
On his hoodie.
The moment stretched like elastic. Mike blinked once. Twice. Then the blush hit - an immediate, fierce red crawling up his neck to the tips of his ears.
“Oh,” he croaked, voice cracking.
Will blinked. “Oh?”
“That’s, um, that’s…” Mike swallowed hard. “That’s my hoodie.”
Will felt heat rush to his own face. “Uh. Yeah. Sorry. I… I forgot to return it. I’ll give it back later.”
“No!” Mike squeaked, far too loudly. He cleared his throat violently. “I mean, you don’t have to. I’m not, like, I don’t need it. You can, um. Keep it. If you want.”
💕💕💕
Will borrows Mike’s hoodie once. Then twice. Then it becomes…a whole thing.
