it’s funny how a year can make so much of only one mistake by moonycleric

Summary
But how can Will blame him for that? Friends grow apart. They grow up, and they grow apart, and they get girlfriends and they hang out with their girlfriends and it’s not Mike’s fault that Will can’t understand that yet. It’s not Mike’s fault that Will doesn’t like girls, and this is what he says, and maybe it’s cruel and harsh and unfair, and even though Will is being all of those things too, Mike regrets it the moment it comes out of his mouth.
—
OR: five times over 1985-1986 where Mike makes the same mistake, and one time he finally doesn’t.

wanna hold you (like you needed then) by wayward_sherlock

Summary
It was only a matter of time until this happened, and Will should’ve been more careful, should’ve known that the one time he doesn’t patrol with Mike that it would happen again, and that Mike wouldn’t be carrying his song with him. Will has noticed, over the past few weeks, a shift in Mike – away from his old, emphatic self, to a Mike that’s more withdrawn, that always looks tired or lost in thought or both. And, look – Will knows that the apocalypse is never kind, not to anyone, but it’s especially concerning to see Mike act this way at strategy meetings, at the few DND games they get to play when there’s a lull in action, when he’s doing something he’s interested in.
Will has noticed, and he’s not an idiot – everyone told him how much Mike wanted him back when he was taken, how furious Mike was with anyone who said he was dead. But Dustin told him, one night, about the quarry, the way Mike hadn’t even hesitated to step off, like he wanted to die.
mike gets vecna'd, and will steps in to save him -- if mike will let him.

smoking cigarettes on the roof by wayward_sherlock for delusionaltogether (Whyyyyy)

Summary
Will had climbed up to Mike’s window with a practiced ease, and while he always felt bad about waking Mike up from his much needed sleep, Will needed him, needed his soft and gentle touches, needed to know that Mike was alive and that he could keep Will safe from himself.
And now, Will feels more than just safe – he feels content. He’s sitting on the sloped roof of a house he’s known like the back of his hand since he was six with his legs curled up to his stomach, head resting on his knees, as he watches the love of his life blow smoke from his lips.
will has a nightmare the fall after the world goes back to normal. mike is there for him, always.

used to call you my best friend (before you were my everything) by wayward_sherlock

Summary
He doesn’t mean it like that – in a romantic way. It’s just what he feels – that Will is his superhero, brave and smart and always there for Mike – and he was thinking about superheroes anyway, what with that Spider-guy from YouTube, and Mike is groaning and letting his head thump against his desk because he is really, truly head over heels in love with Will.
He’s learned to control it a bit better, tamp it down into something manageable, because Will’s his best friend and also the best person he knows, and he deserves better than Mike stumbling over himself every time Will flashes him a smile with those bunny teeth or puts his cold feet under Mike’s thighs on the couch.
Plus, Will has a boyfriend. That’s definitely – a deterrent, to put it kindly.
will has been sneaking around more and more, and mike's convinced that he has a secret boyfriend. the appearance of a local web-slinger is probably unrelated.

Summary
“Yeah,” Mike nods, but it isn’t the most convincing, and he can’t find it in him to care, in the late hour, “I was just – thinking.”
It’s not the most significant outfit, but still. Will looks nice. He’s always looked good in white.
Mike blinks. That’s – weird. That’s a weird thing to think about his best friend.
He effectively turns off his brain.
Will asks, “About what?”
“You,” Mike replies, and maybe turning his brain off was the worst idea he could’ve possibly had at nearly three a.m., Jesus fucking Christ.Mike confronts Will about the painting, and lets a few confessions slip.

Summary
“So,” Mike starts, drawing out the word, and Will turns to him. “Any ideas on how to spend the next fifteen minutes?”
It’s teasing, suggestive when he wiggles his eyebrows, and it’s so unexpected that Will lets out a surprised laugh, unabashed, and it’s so easy, how the tension falls away, and it’s only them again.
“You’re ridiculous,” Will shakes his head, smiling, but Mike looks proud of himself anyway.
He points out, “I don’t hear you complaining.”
Will scoffs, nudging at him with an elbow. “Whatever,” he smoothly replies. Mike grins.
Will, Mike, and the numerous attempts at their first kiss.
