Summary
Mike's been avoiding Will since that night 3 weeks ago. Will told himself he knew why - that Mike just needed space, that he could wait, that there was time. But as Will sits, staring at the bleak hospital walls, he realizes just how much he missed, how much he didn't see - How much he didn't let himself see.
And how late he was to understand any of it.

Summary
Mike recalls the brief interaction he had this morning in the hallway for perhaps the hundredth time. Maybe his friends can help. Help with what exactly, Mike doesn’t know— but something has been bugging him and he needs to get to the bottom of it.
“Hey, do you guys know that kid that wears all black? Chain belt? Eyeliner?”
“The gay kid?” Dustin supplies.
Oh, that’s right. Mike knew he had heard about him somewhere. He’s kind of famous around school. Well, him and his boyfriend. Even with it being 2006, they’re still the only openly gay people at the school.
Mike nods. “Yeah, I guess. I ran into him this morning. Literally, like we collided.”
——
Mike has a run-in with Will Byers, the school’s so-called “gay kid”. He takes it upon himself to befriend him, and quickly learns about Will’s relationship troubles with his boyfriend Matt. Along the way, Mike struggles with his identity, and Will struggles with his self-worth.

Summary
It was as if Will was the sun – addictive to look at but painful to do, as well. Like when your parents warned you not to look at the sun because you could go blind, but curiosity and just the sense of knowing you shouldn’t causes you to do so anyway. And though it hurt and he knew he should look away, Mike couldn’t tear his gaze away from Will until his chest tightened and he was yet again, breathless.
Holy shit, Will took Mike’s breath away way too often.
An AU where Mike and Will sign up for a surfing competition without the knowing of the other and they find out later that they are pit against each other. Not only are they each other’s opponents now, but now they are naturally each other’s worst enemies.
And even now when they are meant to hate each other, they can’t help but fall in love again. Even when the tide itself is telling them it is not meant to be.
Surfer Boy Pizza Will x Scoops Ahoy Mike AU.

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.
