Summary
Those protective instincts kick in and Mike can’t help himself as a crazy, irrational idea takes root in his mind.
An idea that has absolutely nothing to do with seeing Will practically naked in a speedo two nights a week for an entire year. Nope. Definitely not.
“What if I joined the team with you?” Mike blurts, reddening.
Or:
Will and Mike join the Hawkins High swim team in their senior year, spend waaaay too much time together in teeny tiny speedos and one thing leads to another at the pool…
Setting: Post Vecna-defeat (except El lives because she deserves a better ending, just like our boys do), their final year of high school but I’m aging them up to 18 because the content is explicit. (I head canon that the total devastation of Hawkins resulted in their normal high school trajectory getting delayed because that makes more sense than what the Duffers did.)

Summary
Mike accidentally overhears a random girl spilling the fastest way to win a guy's heart in one night: good food, a proper massage, and barely any clothes — preferably, all three at once.
Spoiler: it only takes him thirty-six minutes

Summary
Two years after his husband’s death, Mike Wheeler lives quietly in a cliffside mansion with his eight year old daughter and more ghosts than he knows what to do with. He doesn’t talk about the past.
Will Byers isn’t looking for love when he takes the live-in cook job at Rosecliff Manor. He's just trying to start over in a new town, with a new job and with the walls carefully built around his heart.
Living under the same roof wasn’t supposed to mean anything.
But grief recognizes grief.
And sometimes healing looks a lot like falling in love.

Summary
Mike rolls his eyes. “What’s your suggestion?”
“I’m getting there,” Jonathan assures. “I’ve lived in New York alone for the past two years, and haven’t done half of the things I told myself I would. I kept thinking about mom, Will, and Nance—even Hop sometimes. It’s like I’m being held back by the ties I’ve already made.”
Mike nods. “You’re back where you were before, even though you’re on your own.”
“Exactly, and I just know that if I do venture out, I’ll instinctively look for someone—in anything—because I can’t find it in myself.”
“You want to do it together,” Mike confirms for him. Despite knowing, the words come out shocked, leaden. Like Mike knows without answering that he’s not fit for it, but he’ll agree anyway. “Need me to drag you back down to Earth?”
“About as much as you need it,” Jonathan fires back.Directionless in New York, Mike and Jonathan make a pact to find themselves outside of their past partners (One of them runs right back home, and another finds it in someone else)

"Clean it."
"What?" Mike deadpanned, sock starting to soak from the spilled coffee on the hardwood. "I-"
"You’re gonna get on your knees, and clean it.” Will smiled, “Isn’t that what you want? So I can tell you just how good you’re being for me?”
Fuck.

Summary
The party joined the Tigers and Coach Harrington on a flight to the last basketball game before graduation. With the full intention of playing hooky and using the trip for their own personal holiday, of course. This was until the plane—along with their plans—took a nosedive. Stranded alone in the wilderness with their respective rivals, the two groups must work together to survive, but some soon turn to barbarity as a means of survival.
Perhaps it was never for survival; maybe it was always within them.
OR, a fic inspired by Yellowjackets and Lord of The Flies.

Summary
Feeling flooded back into his body. His head throbbed mercilessly, skull heavy and aching. The light overhead scorched his eyes, forcing them to squint against the brightness. It didn't help that the world tilted again, spinning just as it had earlier that day, colors bleeding into one another as shapes warped and bent unnaturally.
His tongue felt thick. Uncooperative. His lips numb and sluggish. Blurred shapes crowded into his periphery. Darkness pressed in at the edges of his vision.
And then there was nothing.
OR; Will gets a concussion after hitting his head during The Crawl and Mike looks after him.

Summary
“Jezz, you’re jumpy,” a voice dripping with sarcasm said, and Max Mayfield stepped out into the moonlight, her red hair looking maroon. “Do you really think your fists would do anything if I was a demodog?” She chirped, a wry smile forming.
“I thought you were asleep,” he growled with a glare at her.
“Night owl,” she said with a ‘obviously you idiot’ lit to her voice that Mike sneered at. “What, did you think I was going to leave anyone alone after what happened to Will?”
“I don’t need a babysitter,” he huffed again, “I do this. Nothing ever comes.”
—OR—
Mike and Max are night owls, so they slowly become friends after everyone else is asleep.
A study on how Max and Mike learn to love one another over the course of many late night conversations. Set mostly between seasons, and it ends before season 5.Bookmarked by GloriousSarcasm

Summary
Mike thought again about that night, how Will had looked at him like he was taking a visual inventory, trying to memorize it all in case it never happened again. Having that intense, yearning effect over Will was amazing. What would he do if Will didn’t want him that way anymore? And what if it wasn’t really about that at all?
For a second, a terrifying thought occurred to Mike — what if it’s just different with him?
---
In December of 1995, Mike Wheeler and his band, The Swinging Party, are on their first big headlining tour of North America. At their sold out show in New York City, Mike nurses his pained shoulder and receives a surprise visit from his estranged best friend (call it that if you want), Will Byers. Mike spends the following day in the city, killing time and partaking in his habits before he "catches up" with Will in the evening.
Memories return. Mistakes and misdoings haunt the narrative. Potential for new beginnings arise.Series

Summary
"Crashes destabilise an individual's brain chemistry, making it difficult to assimilate into normal society. They exhibit concerning levels of anxiety and, in worst cases, perish painfully. Crashes require elaborate and extended periods of aftercare to restabilise the brain."
In a world where d/s-types are determined by genetics, The Party is tasked with rehabilitating a skittish sub. As head Dom, Will Byers is facing an uphill battle with Mike Wheeler, a submissive suffering the effects of a crash. They will both need to navigate new territories, build trust and somewhere along the way, they might fall in love. Maybe.

Summary
He remembers, eyes squeezed shut against the swell of nausea and vertigo that claws through him, being not-quite-thirteen, and listening eagerly to Mr. Clarke explain the science behind dreams.
“Dreams,” he’d said, “are often seen as these sacred experiences, something that has to have a deeper meaning. We have centuries of examples of dream interpretation, the art of examining commonalities between different dreams to find a single interpretation.”
“The thing is,” he’d continued, “dreams are just your brain’s way of processing and regurgitating information; a fruit-salad of information, so-to-speak. Sure, it can mean something, but it’s more likely to be a random grab-bag of facts and feelings that you’ve come across in life.”
A fruit-salad of information. Here, in the dark bathroom at a little past three in the morning, Mike breathes carefully, and tries to dissect where the supposed ingredients of his fucked-up dream salad actually came from.
Or:
Vecna is weak. Injured. He's still strong enough to hit the Party where it hurts.

Summary
Will's happy. She makes him happy. So Mike should be happy for him. Right?
"I'm glad they get along so well," Vickie said softly by his side, "I think Robin really gets your friend, Will, was it? Sees herself in him. If you… know what I mean?"
Mike didn't.
-
Will and Robin start hanging out all the time. Mike is completely fine with that.
He’s also completely fine with the increasingly pointed love songs on the radio, the talk of a mysterious plan to win somebody over, and the fact that he's sure it has absolutely nothing to do with him.

Summary
Any other superpower would have been better, really. Fire-wielding, telekinesis— even growing an extra arm would have been preferable to mind-reading.
Will hates his newfound powers, and he hates the constant headaches that come with them, and he hates the weird thoughts and feelings he never even wanted to know about in the first place that constantly invade his mind. He hates it all, but he can’t escape his own brain— so short of removing his head entirely, what can he even do to change it?
But— thankfully— with a little help from his friends, and a lot of pain from Mike Wheeler, Will learns to control his telepathy— and, maybe, learns a little too much from his best-friend-slash-lifelong-love’s intricately confusing mind.
