Summary
Since they were little, Mike and Will would have sleepovers in the basement when the whole party was over, but the nights when Dustin and Lucas (and later Max and El) were busy, they would sleep up in Mike’s room. It started when they were small, small enough to fit comfortably in Mike’s double bed without getting too much in each other's space. Or that was the idea anyway. But time and time again Mike would wake up with their legs tangled up together.
He would even sometimes wake pressed up against Will’s back, arm around his waist like they were spooning - but he refused to call it that. Because if he called it that, he’d have to address all the other ways they touched that best friends maybe didn’t do. And that made his stomach clench up with something like shame mixed with fear. -

Summary
“Mike?” Will looks up at him, utterly confused why his friend, whom he wasn’t speaking with, is standing awkwardly at the top of the basement stairs in only his boxers and a sweat-soaked t-shirt.
Then it hits him.
Mike witnesses his scent hit Will, undeniably an omega in heat, a needy one, at that. His scent was thick in the air, assaulting Will’s sensitive nose.
OR:
Mike experiences his first heat; Will finds himself helping Mike through it.

Summary
When Lucas and I were rushing back on our bikes to my house, just to get there in time, maybe then I would finally stop feeling so guilty if I actually saved my parents and little sister.
I kept the bike’s pace with Lucas as my feet pedal as fast as possible, feet aching and legs sore from the pedaling. The cold November air hits my face as I try to call Nancy over the walkie talkie. A while ago it would’ve been easy to contact her but now she stopped answering my desperate pleas for any sign that Holly, mom, and dad are okay.
I had since lost track of where we were. What street in Hawkins are we at now? I had been too focused on getting back to the house when Nancy finally told me that Mom and dad were in critical condition. According to the doctors, mom would need surgery and dad would be put in a coma. Another fucking coma in this situation, all due to Vecna and stupid consequences.

Love From the Other Side (I Guess You Can Say Things Are Getting Pretty Serious) by RoseByAnyOtherName17

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Steve said. “I tried to make her wait until you woke up, I really did.” He tossed something in Mike’s direction, which Mike caught without thinking. “Happy birthday, by the way.”
Mike blinked. He’d completely forgotten, between Holly going missing, frantically searching for a way to get her back, and being possessed by Vecna himself. “Uh, thanks,” he said awkwardly, running a hand through his hair and looking down at what Steve had tossed at him. It was a Kit Kat bar. His favorite. He wondered how Steve knew that.
“Oh, right!” Robin darted forward and hugged him before he could react. He met Will’s eyes over her shoulder, but Will still had a hand covering his mouth and his expression was unreadable, aside from the red on his cheeks. “Happy birthday! There’s a surprise waiting for you in the kitchen. Anyway—mind reading. Totally a thing now, right?”
--
Through "the power of best friendship," as Robin puts it, Mike and Will develop a telepathic connection when Vecna tries to take Mike. Neither of them are really upset by it, especially when it gives them the opportunity to finally destroy Vecna once and for all.

Summary
Nancy Wheeler knows what fear feels like.
She felt it 3 years ago when Barb didn't show up at school, and when a monster climbed out of Joyce Byers' ceiling. She felt it 2 years ago when she watched a shadow pull itself out of WIll Byers' mouth. She felt it 1 year ago when a monster hovered 3 centimeters away from her face, and when Billy Hargrove almost crushed her with his car.
She's used to that kind of primal, supernatural fear.
So why does the very normal and mundane concept of spending Christmas with Robin Buckley make her hands tremble and her knees weak?
-or-
After discovering that she will be alone for the holidays, the Wheelers invite Robin over to spend Christmas with them. Sapphic pining and fluff ensues.
