a necklace, an avalanche and the reason I can't sleep by LaaurenEv

Summary
Mike hates that goddamn necklace.
The thing is, he isn’t even being irrational; the material is cheap, and he’s certain that in the next few days, Will is going to have a greenish tinge stained to his porcelain neck.
It hasn’t happened yet. But it will.
“Why are you staring at my neck?” Will’s voice cuts into the silence, lips quirked in amusement. Mike forces himself to meet his best friend’s eyes, and as he often is these days, is rendered speechless.
“I– uh.” Mike looks around his bedroom, as if something in the piles of crap around the space is going to bring him inspiration. Max simply raises her eyebrows, and Lucas offers no help at all. “I thought I saw a bug?”
Silence. Max chews her lip to hold back laughter, and Mike’s fingers flex because he might throw Will’s sketchbook at her. Mike Wheeler knows a great many things, but understanding why this particular necklace is ruining his life is not one of them. The fact it's from Will's boyfriend is also irrelevant. -

Summary
It's 2006, and Will is living in Chicago with his boyfriend, Robbie. Robbie invites the party over for Will's 35th birthday, unaware of how their lives would unravel when Will and Mike reunite.
Heavily inspired by my favorite song "I'd Have To Think About It" by Leith Ross:
"And if you come to me
When I've promised to commit
If you told me that you loved me
And asked me for a kiss
Well, I'd at least have to think about itYou are my Achilles' heel
The weakness only I can feel
I've been a liar and you've been a pill
But I'd still have to think about it" -

Summary
The fear Will had felt before was nothing compared to this. He observed, and he felt as his life escaped his hands, as if his soul was leaving him, standing there, and all that would be left was an empty body. The demogorgon’s eyes saw Mike. Will saw Mike; he was the target. In a quick motion, the Demogorgon rose in the air, drawing back his arm to lunge forward and strike. Mike stood there, scared and brave, his brown eyes glancing up as he prepared for death. But Will wasn’t going to allow that.

Summary
Will stands outside Mike's door, his hand frozen in a motion to knock.
It's past midnight. The porch light flickers, casting shadows across the wooden boards. His heart hammers against his ribs so hard he worries it might crack them. Five hours. He drove five hours to get here, his hands white-knuckled on the steering wheel, his mind a loop of what if, what if, what if.
What if Mike doesn't want him anymore?
At fifty-one, Will Byers leaves his husband of eighteen years to knock on the door of a man he had always belonged to.

Michael Wheeler, the one whose dream of becoming an author got away due to the deep care he has for his sister. He won’t let her company fail, not when she’s gotten this far. So that’s when it happens: he becomes a journalist. And what kind of journalist would he be if not to pick an obsession that seems like fantasy. Spiderman. But who is Spiderman?

Summary
“Will,” he says, quieter now. “You’re really sure? Like—really sure you wanna go to this thing? We could just hang in my basement. Play D&D. Like old times.”
“We can do that whenever we want, Mike.” Will smiles softly. “Let’s just—let loose for one night. We deserve it. Like everyone else.” He tilts his head. “When’s the last time you saw Dustin this excited when it wasn’t about killing an inter-dimensional monster?”
Mike looks at him. Really looks at him.
And—shit.
He could never say no to that smile. That warm, stupid, beautiful smile. The kind that makes Will’s hazel eyes crinkle and his lips thin out just slightly.
Wait.
What?
That was weird.

Summary
“Stars.”
“Stars?” Will mirrors, pulling himself out of his head, back into the now.
“And the moon, can’t forget the moon.”
Now he sees it. Every speck of the galaxy’s diamonds twinkle around them and the moon. They may as well be up in space considering how clear, ethereal, the view before their eyes is. Moonlight shimmers down, making the two of them glow, as though the sky is admiring them in the same way they’re admiring its beauty. It almost doesn’t look real, like this is just something the two of them were joint-visualising, because how could something be both magical and real, all at once?OR
It’s been over 24 hours since Will discovered that he has powers. His mind is a mess.
Him and Mike figure out that stargazing is their outlet from all of the destruction in Hawkins. It’s the one thing they have left, their secret weapon. Being alone, together, under the stars, it helps.
