Summary
“You need to stop having sex with your boyfriend.”
“Excuse me?”
“I know I was the one who suggested it, and I know you have good intentions,’ Robin continued to his mortification. “But it really hasn’t been helping. In fact, I’d say it’s gotten worse.”
“You have pavloved Mike into yelling at us,” Lucas cut in, impatient. “It’s sick. It’s cruel.”

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
“Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”
Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.
He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

Summary
“Does- does your mom know?” Mike asks, quieter now. Will shakes his head. Mike’s throat tightens. “I think my mom’s gonna call her,” he murmurs, even though he’s not totally sure. It feels like something she would do. Mike kind of wants her to, too.
Will curls in tighter at that, like the words themselves hurt. “Dad’s gonna get mad again,” he whispers. “I don’t want him to get mad.”
Mike’s nose scrunches up, his eyes burning. It feels like crying, but different. Hotter, sharper, like it’s trying to claw its way out of him instead of spill. “He hurts you,” Mike spits, voice wobbling despite how hard he tries to keep it steady. “He shouldn’t do that. That’s- that's not allowed. That’s bad.”
or, miwi werehere. Mike just wants Will to be safe, and the safest place he can think of is his den.

Summary
“I just… I want to be able to take you somewhere, alright? Then we'll go for a drive, and I have something else planned.” He hesitates for half a second. Then, softer, “let me take care of my wife.”
Will makes a small, startled sound, and then he’s laughing, hiccupping a bit from the force of it. “Your what?” Will manages, breathless, grinning despite himself.
Behind him, Mike’s smiling, he can feel it, the way it presses warm and bright into his shoulder. “My wife,” Mike repeats, even though he's tensing a little like he's nervous Will is going to turn him down.
or, It's Will's birthday and Mike's planned the whole day for him, like a good boyfriend should. Will's a lot more focused on the fact that Mike keeps referring to him as his wife, though.

Summary
Point was, Mike Wheeler liked to be needed.
And Will Byers?
Well…
Will swallows, eyes focused pointedly on Mike’s long, slender fingers. The way they twist and they pull, fixing the broken strap to Will’s backpack.
Will Byers loved when Mike fixed things for him.
It was becoming a problem.
He didn’t mean to start doing it, but it just… happened. Maybe he was using Mike’s kindness against him, but it was difficult not to, and Will couldn’t feel too badly about it when Mike looked down at him with lidded eyes, one hand dragging up along Will’s side, voice sweet. “Better?”
“Yeah,” Will murmurs, grabbing the bag with trembling fingers. “Yeah, it’s better.”
Or, Will comes up with a plan that could benefit the both of them. Mike gets to be a hero in every day life, and Will? He gets to have Mike's attention.

Summary
Set Post-Volume 1.
Mike and Will are taken by the military who take a special interest in Wills powers. While Will is subject to experimentation, Mike does everything he can to keep Will safe.
-----------
"Will!" Mike crashes to the ground next to him. Gets a good look at him.
Wills eyes are dazed slightly. They latch on to Mike anyways and he seems to sag with relief. The blood from Wills nose falls onto his lip. Into his mouth.
"That was- that was amazing!" Mike brings his sleeve up and wipes the blood away. He opens his arms and lets Will collapse against him, head resting on Mikes chest and Mike doesn't even think twice about how intimate it should feel.

Summary
Will Byers is sixteen when he dies for a second time. Now, he thought, there would be no revivals, no take-backs. He would die and that would be the end of the short and miserable life of William Byers. Which is really fucking sad because he feels like life would've finally been good for him. He'd defeated the Mind Flayer and Vecna. He'd finally gotten his love for Mike reciprocated. But now he was there, in his arms, quickly fading. The Mind Flayer’s connection was dragging him down with it into the depths of oblivion. Perhaps the universe still has one kindness to spare for him.
OR
Will is sent back to the summer of 1985 after he dies. He gets strange visions and enlists the help of Jane Hopper to recover his memories and hopefully save more than they could last time around.

Summary
Will forced himself to stop thinking. The Upside Down was closed for good. Eleven had close the gate last year and saved them all. His mother, Jonathan and Nancy had taken the Mind Flayer out of him. There was nothing more connecting him to that place. He was clean. Purged. And those stupid chills he got from time to time in the back of his neck were just his brain messing up with him. It was him not being able to move on from what happened in the past. It was him not being able to grow the fuck up already.
Dustin clapped his hands, the sound echoing in the calm night, making Will snapped out of his thoughts. “We can become heroes, Will. Honest to God American heroes. Like freaking Red dawn or something.”
Season 3 rewrite in which Will listens to the Russian transmission with Dustin. Inspired by American Heroes by catchip2

Summary
Will raised an eyebrow at his friend's antics, then dropped his eyes to where he knew Dustin had reached a hand out towards him.
“This summer, we stick together. You and me, Byers.”
Will grinned, taking Dustin’s hand and shaking it. “You and me, Henderson.”
A rewrite of S3:
The night Dustin gets back from Camp Knowhere, he brings the Party up to the highest point in Hawkins to set up Cerebro. He thought that his friends would be excited to have him back-- even if it wasn't the most entertaining to sit on a hill and talk into a radio with no response, he thought they would at least wait for him before going home. He thought it was going to be the best summer ever.
Instead, he finds himself and the one friend that didn't leave him, Will Byers, intercepting a weird Russian transmission.
And, well... if he couldn't have the best summer ever, at least he and Will would have an eventful one.

Summary
As a kid, Will only communicates in glances, gestures, and closeness.
Mike learns his language without realizing it’s something special.
-
Tags
Summary
Mike stands a few feet away, shoulders squared, eyes locked on him with an intensity that makes Will’s breath catch. He looks nothing like the easy, grinning version he knows. This Mike is coiled tight, attention sharpened to a point, his presence radiating outward in a way that makes people instinctively give ground. For one wild second Will considers pretending he didn’t notice. He considers staying exactly where he is, letting the moment stand.
The loud growl answers that thought before he can act on it, and he feels it blaring in his ears despite the loud music. It’s low, controlled, furious in a way that doesn’t need volume.
The alpha in front of him freezes.

Summary
Nightmares weren’t new. They all had them.
But Will knew—knew—that they still treated him differently. Not because they knew he was queer. He almost wished it was that.
No.
It was the way they hovered. The way they watched him. The way they handled him, like he might break.
Like he was still the kid who’d gone missing.
Like he was something unfinished. It was probably some strange instinct they all had that he didn't because he hadn’t presented yet.
Or
Another omegaverse fic where Will finally presents as a rare male omega. The only one in Hawkins High.

Summary
His Mom smiles at him with a knowing look, and Jonathan has an arch to his brow like he wants to ask more – but before either can, there’s the sound of a thud.
Will’s smile falls into his stomach. It wrenches with fear, with horror.
All three look to the entrance of the lounge, the direction of the thud.
“Shit,” says someone out of sight, just beyond the entrance, almost too soft to catch.
Will’s blood runs cold, because he knows that voice, knows the specific lilt of it.
“Mike?"
Or, Will comes out on his own terms, to the two people who truly matter - and is overheard by the one other person who means the most. In wake of the revelation, they decide to split off and take the final battle with Vecna into their own hands, all while navigating the undeniable pull that grows between them.

Summary
"Have you talked to him today?" Jonathan asked, gesturing to Will, who was now approaching the sink. Mike didn't need Jonathan to explain who he was talking about.
"No, he's been in the basement all day. I thought he was just painting or something," Mike replied, shaking his head before lowering his voice. "I think he's having an episode."
Jonathan nodded. "I mean, maybe, but he hasn't had one in a long time," he said, voice growing softer.
Mike knew Will was still recovering from everything, still adjusting to being back home. Everything that had happened in the past couple of years certainly hadn't been great, but Mike thought things were getting better, or at least easier.
"I know," Mike whispered, looking back to Will, making sure he hadn't left the kitchen yet. Will was finishing up rinsing off his plate. Mike turned back to Jonathan. "What should we do?"
"I don't know. I mean, you were always the one that he wanted. You always knew how to talk to him and knew what he needed," Jonathan said, pausing before continuing. "Honestly, I think he would probably just want you."
or
Will had an episode, and Mike was there to help.

Summary
“Will Byers?”
Will glances around, as if there is another Will Byers in their vicinity. He manages a small smile. “Yeah, it’s- uh. It’s me.”
Mike rushes forward, and all he can think is holy shit, Will is alive, as he’s throwing his arms around the other boy and tugging him in for a crushing hug. It isn’t until Will is secure, nestled–maybe a bit stiffly–in his arms, that Mike starts crying.
“I thought you were dead,” Mike murmurs, muffled by Will’s jacket. He sniffles. “I thought- we- they told us you were dead.”
Or, Will was never found in S1, but survives in the Upside Down until 1987 due to his powers and connection with Vecna. Cue Mike, an ill-timed trip to the Upside Down, and a lot of feelings.

Summary
That was the shape of his love: quiet, unnoticed, and expendable.
But this? Mike’s grip told a different story. This was not expendable.
Will’s spent years believing he was the one who’d slip through the cracks — the one no one would notice until he was gone. But when he nearly falls apart, it’s Mike who holds on like letting go might end the world.
