Summary
What exactly is Will supposed to say here? Hey, sorry this metaphorical wall is my fault. I’m kinda maybe definitely in love with you. Friends? Yeah, he’d rather jump off the tower than admit that.
But there’s one question that keeps circling in Will’s head, louder than everything else Mike just said.
Before he can stop himself, it slips out.“Why did you say it?”
or: the world is ending, Dustin is yelling from somewhere above them, and Mike decides now is the perfect time to figure out his feelings.

Summary
In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.
The silence veered from heavy to charged. All of Mike’s attention surged into his hand. He felt like the entirety of his consciousness was suddenly located in the place where his skin touched Will’s.
What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.
Or,
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
"Mm'kay," Mike mutters then pads forward. Will shifts, his tiredness leaving him uncertain of what Mike is planning on doing until he realizes he's effectively boxed him in. He lets out a noise that abruptly cuts off as large hands settle onto his waist, mind going blank as the heat of Mike's palms permeate through his loose T-shirt. He thinks his whole brain implodes when Mike begins to move him out of the way, murmuring, "'scuse me, baby."

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

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.

Summary
Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
“Take me.”
Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
“Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
“Deal.”---
Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.Translated into Русский on the site Книга Фанфиков

Summary
They were finally free. The sky had returned to its natural blue, the ground closed up, and the fog of black smoke no longer hung over Hawkins. Mike had to keep reminding himself of that fact. Everything was perfect.
Maybe too perfect.
OR
Post season 5 fix-it, where everyone was Vecna'ed and the world did "end," and now they have to figure out how to get back home. But the way to get home might suck more than if they were to stay in the messed up, distorted version of Hawkins. At least for Mike.

Summary
“There’s no way!” Mike half-shouts back as they near the living room. One dance was already enough for him tonight.
“You’re drunk and you’re dancing!” Will remarks.
“Correction, I’m buzzed! You're drunk and dancing, and now you’re wanting to force your agenda onto me!”
“You danced earlier? What’s so different about it now?”
You.
Why did Mike Wheeler ever agree to go to a party with Will Byers when all they've been doing recently is fighting. Now he's drunk, annoyed, and forcing every bone in his body not to do something completely and utterly stupid.
