Summary
Ever since their return to Hawkins in the previous spring, Will has kept a careful distance from Mike, keeping himself busy with school clubs to avoid spending time with Mike one on one - because every time they're in a room together, he finds himself on the verge of saying things he shouldn't, asking questions he knows are only going to hurt him. But then a snowstorm wreaks havoc in Hawkins, trapping him and Mike in the Wheeler house while the rest of the family are gone. And now Will has no choice but to confront everything he has tried so hard to ignore.
-
Or: Mike and Will are home alone at the Wheeler house for a week.

“Okay so who is this mystery cousin?” Dustin questioned, his arms crossed.

Summary
Hawkins had a way of getting into its people's minds. In the little time Chance'd been on town, all sort of weird occurrences had happened, but he never truly believed any of the stories and rumors looming around. Not until he ended up stuck on another dimension with the famously-called zombie boy.
Chance'd never been a big fan of scary movies, he very much enjoyed having a normal heart rate. Too bad he fell in love with a pretty much possessed boy.

Summary
Their shoulders brushed again, slow and equally savored. The kind of movement you couldn't pretend was an accident.
So Will brushed back, just barely. Testing. Flirting. Mike inhaled softly, the faintest noise escaping him. And then he spoke like he was physically unable to stay silent any longer.
“Will? If… if that boy you like…” he was standing so close that Will could feel the warmth of him against the cold air. “…If you ever wanted to tell him…”
Will felt his breath stop.
“…I think he’d want to know.”
OR: A buzzy post-vol 1 fic in which Will finally grows more confident, only for the hivemind’s possession to take it all away again. Mike may be the only one who can bring it back. And the two of them might be the only ones who can save the world.
**Can be read as a vol 2/3 fix-it fic post-finale

Summary
In the months since Vecna was defeated, Steve, Robin, Will, and Dustin have all been hanging out. One morning, Will and Dustin complain about Mike's lack of fun spirit, leading to the group to start a series of pranks to cheer him up.
I really wanted to explore this group after ST5 Vol 1, so I decided to write them causing trouble.

I found my way back to you (but took a long time) by Archraven

Summary
On his fortieth birthday, Mike gets an invitation to Dustin’s wedding. ‘Can’t get married without you there, man. Come on. For me?’
He goes in a suit that fits poorly and a tie that sits crooked. The others greet him with warmth, but he feels like a stranger, and when Will finally arrives, Mike cannot breathe. The passing time has only sharpened Will’s cheekbones, coaxed his softness into something more assured. Mike had forgotten how beautiful he was, hadn’t realised how thoroughly he had filed Will away in the back of his mind, as if memory could be boxed up and stored like Christmas lights.
Then, he sees the arm around Will's shoulders.
In a world where Vecna won, life continues much the same, and Mike and Will slowly—very slowly—find their way back to each other.

Summary
As his footsteps recede, Will considers it; a fleeting feeling of fuck it, the world’s already ending that quickly fades the moment he glances back over his shoulder, watching a blur of camo disappear through the doorway before it closes once again, softer this time.
“…So,” Joyce starts, bringing Will back to his senses. “You know you’re what?”
Fixing Will’s coming out scene because I’m still bitter.

Summary
“Can I get a sip of that?” He nodded to the drink.
Will nodded yes in return. Holding his gaze, he took a deep sip from the solo cup before offering it towards Mike. Will watched him intensely. Mike never broke eye contact. After he swallowed, Will blinked and took a half step back.“Come on, I wanna get some air.” He grabbed Mike by the forearm and started towards the sliding door that led to the backyard. Mike wondered absently if the blush he felt forming was a result of the alcohol.
tldr: Mike goes through a series of realizations in going to college parties with Will.
