Summary
“So you had an… attitude,” she eyes him carefully, “with Will. Because you were mad that… girls talk to him?”
Mike swallows. Okay, he knows how it sounds, but he swears it’s not like that. El is just too blunt for her own good sometimes. She’s not seeing the bigger picture here.
Fuck, Mike doesn’t even know what the hell ‘the bigger picture’ is, either. He really has no excuse for himself.
; Will’s been getting a lot of romantic attention from the girls at Hawkins High lately, but it’s whatever. Everything is fine. Mike doesn’t even care. He deals with it. (He doesn’t)

Summary
"It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."
"You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.
"Absolutely."
Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.
After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.
Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonspeaking autistic, and Mike is also autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”
—
Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

Summary
“Shit, shit,” Will scrambles to the floor-length mirror he’d found propped up on a dumpster at the end of his Freshman year. He pulled at his sweater and fluffed his hair. “Coming!”
He trips over his feet rushing to get to the door, before freezing to glance at the tiny apartment. His sketchbooks are everywhere, his bed is unmade, and he hasn’t scooped Bowie’s litter box today. There isn’t time to do anything about it now.
Taking a calming breath in, he yanks open the door.
There, in his doorway with a giant goofy grin, stands Michael Wheeler.
-or
Will is settling in Chicago, finishing up school, and dating. Mike is a college dropout on his 10th manuscript rejection with nothing to look forward to but Will's visits home. When Will cancels at the last minute, Mike impulsively shows up at his door. They adjust to old comforts and new discomforts, struggling to agree on what they are to each other.

Summary
“I’m glad they moved me closer to the art block,” Mike mentions after a second, and Will blinks at him. “It’ll be easier to bother you, now.”
Will clicks his teeth. “Incredibly professional,” he notes, and Mike’s smile widens. Sometimes, Will’s heart feels moments from exploding, like a firework someone had poured gasoline onto and threw in a fire.
“I’m the pinnacle of professional,” Mike decides, oblivious to Will’s cardiovascular issues.
Between being a teacher in a school full of chaos, being in love with his best friend and coworker of several years, and Lucas' worst idea yet, Will tries his best to make it through another school year.

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
Will Byers — Zombie boy. Moved to California but came back after the earthquake. He wasn’t here for Jason’s cult accusations, but he can’t like me very much, seeing as I landed a pretty nasty punch on his friend in sophomore year.
Chance’s eyes lingered a little longer than they should have as he walked in. If he were being completely honest, he always found Will the most… intriguing, out of that group—something about the mystery that came with being “dead” for a week. Chance sometimes caught a glimpse of him working in an empty art room after practice, or at games, quietly cheering Lucas on.
Before Chance knew it, Will was in front of him, sliding a VHS across the counter.
OR
Chance gets a job at Family Video for the summer, and Will is a regular.

Summary
“He really does look like Mike,” Lucas breathes, as he gives Mike’s twin a scan, head to toe.
“Yeah, if Mike were way hotter and a knight?” Max chips in, and Will can vaguely hear Mike muttering again. “He looks so medieval, like he’s from Camelot or some shit.”
“I am Michael,” the knight begins to plead again. He turns his doe eyes back to Will, returning to his side like a diligent guard, even going as far as to reach out and take his hands. “Please, you have to believe me. I would never lie to you. Have I ever broken our oath? Let me prove it.”
Will was a bit preoccupied with gazing into the knight’s eyes, his cheeks flushing under the intense stare and the way his hands were held so gently. Mike had no issues ruining their moment.
“And he’s weirdly obsessed with Will.” Mike sounds even angrier than he did in the woods, and his sharp tone is enough for Will to snap out of his hand-holding to step a respectable distance away from the knight. “We need to send him back to wherever he came from.”

Mike the Brave ends up in Hawkins and sweeps Will off his feet. Mike has a lot of Feelings™ about it.

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

Summary
It's summer in Hawkins. It has been a year since the possession, and Will Byers is doing his best to navigate through change. While everyone else seems busy falling in love, he forces a smile, desperately trying to be normal. He tries to keep up with his friends, holding onto the childhood they seem eager to leave behind. He swallows his frustrations, hiding the fear that never really left. His walls crumbling, and as he desperately tries to keep them standing, the Mind Flayer returns.
But despite everything, a boy—confident, athletic, and surprisingly nerdy—suddenly comes into his life. Chance Lawson inadvertently becomes Will’s friend, joining the Party (?), changing the course of his fate. He carries an easy confidence, but beneath it lies a cautious, sympathetic heart that understands Will’s silence. He steps in with a gentle warmth that feels completely new, proving to Will that he doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on his own.
Then, maybe Will’s summer wouldn’t be as awful as it could’ve been.

Summary
Will's eyes follow as one boy – Chance – runs his hand through his hair, letting the hem of his jersey ride up a bit.
And look, Will isn’t an idiot. He knows the way he looks at boys isn’t normal. And he knows he has never looked at girls this way. Never followed the movement of their bodies or tracked a bead of sweat as it dripped down their neck. Maybe a part of the reason Will started to actually watch basketball is because he liked to watch the players, not the game. But nobody else needed to know that.
☆
As Chance exhales this time, he brings his mouth down to fully cover Will’s. It’s barely even a kiss, just their lips pressed against each other. As Will inhales, he catches Chance’s lips in his own. His hand slides up Chance’s chest, fisting in the center of his shirt. Chance tangles his fingers deeper in Will’s hair as his other hand comes to rest on Will’s waist. He responds to the kiss immediately, pulling Will even closer, kissing him deeply, aggressively, as if he’s the one who has been waiting all night. Starving.
OR
Will is in Hawkins instead of California and goes to Lucas' basketball game. After, he's goes to the party with Lucas and meets Chance.

I have some new interesting ideas to play with! And I also realized I rushed much of this story and want to draw it out longer, as Will Byers deserves everything, including the most perfect love story!!

Summary
“Nah, man,” Lucas shakes his head, leaning back as he snacks on an apple, “he got, like, buff. Do you see his arms?”
Mike does, in fact, see Will’s arms. He has not stopped seeing his arms.
“She definitely sees his arms,” Dustin very unhelpfully points out, waggling his eyebrows, and Mike gets the overwhelming urge to bash his own head in.While volunteering at the Hawkins' help center, it seems like every girl around has a newfound interest in Will Byers, and Mike doesn't know why he feels the way he does.
