Summary
All Mike can think of is Will. Will – fuck, Will in the attic, Will getting tortured, Will stuck with Kay and the Demogorgons, stuck at their mercy –
As if on cue, the gods above hearing the spiralling turn his thoughts take, a scream – an all-too-familiar scream – echoes from upstairs, travelling down from the attic to the dungeon. Mike freezes, unable to move, unable to even draw in a breath, as Will screams again – more drawn-out, filled with more agony.
It sinks into his bones, the knowledge that Will is in pain. In pain, and screaming with it. “Will,” he breathes. “WILL! WILL!”
*
Their seventh year should have been spent at Hogwarts but instead, Mike, Will and Jane are on the run, hunting for Horcruxes to take Vecna down once and for all. Things take an awful turn when they're taken by Snatchers and Will is taken to a separate room to be tortured, Mike unable to do anything but listen to his screams.
(aka, a scene-rewrite of hermione getting tortured in malfoy manor in deathly hallows but with will as hermione and mike as ron that absolutely no one asked for)

Summary
Mike came up behind him, arms sliding around Will’s waist as he rested his chin on his head. “What’d you get?”
Unwrapping the package revealed a small, cheap-looking stone lamp, the kind of thing you would see in a souvenir shop. A tag dangled from it with handwritten text: "Makes your wish come true!"
Will laughed, turning it over in his hands before showing it to Mike. "Yeah, right."
"What would you wish for anyway?" Mike asked, pressing a kiss to Will’s temple.
Will leaned back into Mike’s embrace, feeling safe and happy. He looked at the lamp, then at Mike, then back again, a playful thought forming.
“Hmm…” He pretended to think hard, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “The only thing that could make me happier than one Mike Wheeler… would be two.”
POOF!
Or: What if Will got to spend his birthday being destroyed by two Mike Wheelers.

Summary
“I have a what?” Mason exclaims, eyes widening dramatically as he leans forward on the couch.
Will, ever patient, lays a hand on one of the legs he’s currently kneeling between, settled on the living room rug. “A sister,” he repeats. His voice is a stark contrast to Mason’s, all gentle and calm.
“Yeah, I got that part,” Mason says, dangerously toeing the line into condescension. “What does that mean? Did you go out and adopt a kid while I was at school?”
——
Mason’s biological sister, newly entered into the foster system, comes to live with Mike and Will. Considering Mason’s jealous history with little girls, his transition into brotherhood is not bound to be pretty.

Summary
"My sorcerer," he whispers, reverent. "I knew it." He places his hands on either side of Will's face and kisses him.
It's nothing like the first time, desperate and pent-up from a lifetime of hiding from it. Or the second time, sweet and tender like it was could slip away at any moment. It's its own thing—Will's impossible magic hands in Mike's curls and Mike holding him tight by the waist with the relief of someone who's really, really glad he didn't die.
The world might be coming to an end, but there’s nothing Mike and Will’s love can’t survive.

Summary
“You’re gonna get hurt,” he says quietly, processing. He meets Mike’s eyes, briefly, then quickly refocuses his gaze on the forest surrounding him. He can’t look at Mike for too long, not now, not like this. Not when every minute he spends with him could be the last. “We can’t protect you here.”
“Bullshit,” Mike says, “I’ll be fine.” His voice is softer when he adds, presumably to El, though Will is still refusing to look at either of them, “I want to protect you.”Bookmarked by dramblop

Summary
“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.

Summary
When Mike first filled out the paperwork, he didn’t know if anything would come of it. He’d just arrived back in Ithaca after a spring break visit to the city. His neck was stiff from the weird nap he’d taken on the bus. It was snowing, in April. He didn't even have any friends to call up and announce his return, unless you counted his roommate, Jeremy, who greeted him with an indifferent head nod and a “hey, man” when Mike spilled through the door of their dorm room, shaking melting snowflakes out of his overgrown hair.
He trudged across campus the next day, past dirty iced-over snow drifts that seemed like they might never melt, and knocked on the door of his advisor’s office.
“If I wanted to transfer to another school next year,” he said, fidgeting with his backpack in his lap as he sat down in the squeaky vinyl-backed chair, “how would that work?”

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives.

It’ll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.
