Summary
It doesn’t start with a kiss. Or a punch. Neither of those. It begins with a look, lingered, held.

Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop for disapparater

Summary
It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?

Summary
Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.
When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?

Summary
“Jesus, how much did you drink?” Mike frowns. He hadn’t been counting them up or anything — he’s not Will’s keeper — but he’s sure it couldn’t have been enough for him to be acting like this. They’d been out on the trail for just a couple of hours, and whatever shitty booze Dustin had managed to wheedle off Steve probably didn’t surpass an ABV of 20% anyway. Will holds up a clumsy hand and, squinting in concentration, puts up four fingers. He lowers one after a moment, frowns, then puts it back up again. “Okay,” Mike says, after four does not turn back into three. “So you’re kind of a lightweight. Good to know.”
Will huffs, a sharp, irritated noise. “I’m not that drunk,” he says — a blatant lie.
The Party partakes in Camp Whiteman's (unofficial) first-year counselor traditions, and Mike partakes in being designated babysitter.

Summary
“Will? Will Byers?” The edge of a face comes into view as the car’s obnoxiously tinted windows get rolled down, all black hair and wide eyes and confused, furrowed brows.
Will, to his dismay, recognizes the face immediately.
“It’s Mike,” Mike Wheeler adds, rather unnecessarily. “From camp.”
From camp, as if Mike hadn’t–
“Hi,” Will says anyway, because being wet and soggy and stranded on the side of the road kind of limits his leeway for snark. He shifts in his soaking wet shoes, glances up at the thundering sky, and thinks about how much he hates his life. “Yeah. It’s me.”
Will's a good person, really. But apparently the universe thinks otherwise. Why else would it send him a broken down car, a dead phone, a thunderstorm, and Mike Wheeler (and Mike Wheeler's horrendous Tesla) all in the same afternoon?

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
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.
Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.
Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
“And if you were-” Mike swallowed hard, the words ripping out of him, painful, slurred, and honest in a way he’d never let himself be sober, “I just wish you were a girl.”
Will froze.
Mike kept going, unable to stop himself now, like the admission opened the flood gates. “It’d be so much easier if you were a girl. Everything would make sense. No one would question anything. I wouldn’t have to feel like… like I’m wrong.”
--
Mike and Will have kept their relationship tightly locked behind closed doors. But when they decide to start a youtube channel with Lucas and Dustin, fans notice how close the two seem to be. And the spotlight on the relationship Mike isn't ready to be public deepens a crack between them.

Summary
“I thought you were going to propose to her." Dustin said after a long, uncomfortable silence. There was nothing left for Mike to vomit up, but he continued clutching the bucket tightly in his fingers as if it were what was keeping him breathing.
Lucas watched him.
His empty, distant eyes stared coldly at the porcelain tiles with indifferent wonder. This had been the case since long before last night.
"It was all bullshit." he says, his voice drawn out and trembling under the sound of each syllable.
☆
Will Byers got married on a Saturday, at the end of a sunny summer afternoon in the backyard of Harrington Mansion, in a simple family ceremony.
Mike Wheeler, the groomsmen, broke up with Jane Hopper the following morning.

Summary
Mike loves Will. Will loves Mike. They know they shouldn't. But they do. One shot.
"When are you going to get a nice girl?" People ask him all the time, "It's about time, at your age. We haven't seen you with a girl since El!"
He always shrugs it off. They say things will change in College and he'll find a girl there. He doesn't answer. They want to reassure him, or reassure themselves. Mike doesn't know.

Summary
“It’s just—look, guys do this kind of stuff with each other all the time, right? I mean, they help each other with this sort of…stuff when it comes to girls. Or whatever.” Mike waves his hands around helplessly, like whatever is supposed to cover the fact that he just asked Will to be his personal kissing tutor-slash-crash-test-dummy. “And we—we aren’t even…like that, y’know. So it’s not like—it wouldn’t actually mean anything, it can just be—an experiment. Practice. Between us. Between friends.”
An experiment. AN EXPERIMENT. Cool. Yeah. No big deal. Definitely not the exact thing Will's thought about every night since, oh, forever. Not like Will’s been in love with Mike since we were twelve or anything. Nope. Totally chill. Totally fine.

Nancy’s brow furrows. She takes a step toward him. “Okay…,” she says hesitantly. “What happened? What did you do?”
He looks down.
Lips. Hands. Skin. Whispers. Moans. Tears.
Will on his knees.
And Mike, letting it happen.
