    Summary

    “It’s not my fault that it took me so long to figure myself out,” Mike says thickly, no longer angry, instead just barely holding back tears as he repeats the sentiment that Debbie has spent so long trying to get him to believe. He’s not sure why this is the thing pushing him towards accepting it as truth, but he means it when he says it—means it, too, when he continues with, “It’s not my fault that it was hard for me to understand how I felt. It’s not my fault that I didn’t realize what it was until after you moved on. That’s not—that’s not my fault, Will.”

    mike's queer journey happens a little later than will's. that doesn't mean it's any less real or valid. or: 4 of mike wheeler's birthdays and the ways things change.

    Summary

    All in all, these five months and two weeks had completely, entirely, and unequivocally been the best time of Will's life. It wasn’t a hard standard to reach, considering the other 200-something months he’d lived, but it really couldn’t get better than Mike Wheeler buying you Thai food and calling you baby.

    Well, maybe one thing; which was that Mike was changing.

    Summary

    Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.

    Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.

    aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

    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.
