Summary
“You have so many freckles on your back,” Will whispers gently, hand still moving the pen across Mike’s skin.
“What are you doing?”
“Connecting them. Making up my own constellations.”
Mike hums once more. “You should see if you can find actual ones.”
“I don’t know them that well.”
“I’ll teach you some soon.”
Will and Mike slip into an innocent, comfortable painting routine which soon turns into something more intimate than they both can handle. Touches become more frequent and linger for a beat too long — and Mike decides that he wants to explore this dynamic further.
What he doesn't know, however, is that the underlying reason for his sudden interest in said dynamic is just as hard to grasp as paint running through fingers.

Summary
After Eleven dies, Mike Wheeler starts needing Will Byers in a way that has teeth.
Same bed every night. Mike counting Will’s breaths, Will’s shivers, every place his mouth has been allowed and every place he has forbidden himself to touch. Will keeps asking what they are. Mike keeps not answering.
A fight in Will’s studio goes too far. When he wakes, the world has gone quiet.
Years later, Will is learning how to live without waiting for Mike Wheeler to choose him. Mike is learning, badly and late, that loving Will with everything in him was never the same as loving him the way Will needed.
or:
Mike Wheeler is being eaten alive by his OCD, Will Byers has spent too long mistaking need for love, and neither of them knows when the thing between them became a compulsion. What's left is distance, and therapy, and the slow, quiet work of building a life in the silence. A psychological slow burn about the difference between loving someone and needing them to stay.

Summary
It had become familiar with every nook, every cranny of Will's body and mind, and it intended to stay—to keep him—forever. To become one.
He wanted to tear himself apart; rip this thing out of him and run away with his Mike—
But like every other time, he. just. couldn't. move.
The love of his life was right there. Mike was right there, and Will was going to hurt him. Kill him. Slash or bash his face until he was unrecognizable. The Shadow would make him. He couldn't do a damn thing to stop it.
or
An Obsession AU in which Henry Creel becomes weirdly possessive over his employee Will Byers, resorting to unnatural, demonic measures to have him. Meanwhile, Mike doesn’t understand why Will is acting so strange.

Summary
As the summer of 1985 approaches, Will feels The Mindflayer grow stronger by the day, but he’s not worried. With the help of a new friend— a mysterious man he had never seen around Hawkins before— he learns that being a part of the Shadow isn’t all that bad.
Will’s real worst fear is the party drifting apart and leaving him behind, but he knows he’s being ridiculous. Surely they wouldn’t ignore him? Surely they would notice if he was acting… different.
Or: as good as Billy is at being a host, the Mindflayer has a favorite, and over the next month everyone would find out.
