Summary
“Mike,” this time Will hoped to convey his eye roll through his tone.
“Will,” he said back, mimicking and with an audible smile.
“Are we just going to spend this entire call saying each other’s names?”
“If it means I get to keep hearing you say my name, I wouldn’t mind,” Mike said, beginning playfully but ending on a much softer note. Will sucked in a breath, surprised at the honesty in his tone. It made him feel raw.
or, as pitched on my tumblr,
Byler college fic post-canon where the party goes different places and it’s centered around Will and his closest friend who is also queer and she despises Mike after hearing about Will pining for him but one day in November, Will has a worse panic attack than usual and she can’t help him and is forced to call Mike and for the first time learns Will went missing and goes home with Will to Hawkins during winter break because her family sucks and learns about the Upside Down and Mike is jealous because he thinks they’re dating and the second the friend sees Mike, she knows she’s right and that Mike is in love with Will too.

Don't be Afraid of the Clocks (they are our time) by TashaTasha

Summary
"Nobody was really thinking in that moment. Not Will, and certainly not Mike. Ten years down the line and three glasses of wine deep, Mike would proclaim that it was simple science—Magnetic attraction. North and South meet halfway to the west.
The closer you place them, the more likely they’ll collide
TLDR
Will gets some new (totally not gay) friends, and Mike is a jealous, needy loser. Coming out, crying, and sappy confessions await.
This Fic is meant to be an intermission between Season 4 and Season 5, with the assumption that Vecna doesn’t return with full force until all the cast are 18. -

Summary
Mike was staring at him. Will doesn't know what to make of it. It obviously doesn't mean what he would have wished it meant a year ago — that Mike has secretly been in love with him for years and too scared to tell him. That would be stupid. And anyways, Mike's been looking at him like that since they were kids. Like his sole purpose was to understand each and every expression Will could make. As if somewhere tucked away in Will's face, in the corner of his mouth, or the curve of his cheek, the secrets of the universe were hidden.
OR:
Vecna's gone. The party is alive and well -- mostly, at least. They enter their sophomore year in high school. Cue the teenage drama.

Summary
His mind would even wander into the scenario of murder.
The thought made him bite his lip, before remembering he had a project to do. He wiped his face with his hands, and turned back to his project partner.
Some of the party has witnessed this too, but chose not to question it. Not even Will himself. He'd noticed Mike was a little more touchy than usual, defensive when the group teases Will, even had a soft, relaxed voice when it came to talking with Will that he wouldn't use with anyone else. Will thought that maybe, he's just making sure that he's okay after the events of him going missing and being possessed.
But he doesn’t think that was the reason why Mike was staring at him while kissing El at a school dance.
Or: Mike Wheeler as Ghostface.

The letter Will sent + the letters Mike never did.
(What if Will sent the "i miss clouds. i miss you" letter and Mike had a gay freakout hence why he never sent anything back?)

Summary
Mike’s had a lifetime of experience pretending to be chill.
From a young age he’s learned that the easiest way to get by in life is by acting completely unaffected by everything. When you grow up in a small, judgmental town with the parents Mike has, it kinda comes with the territory.
So far it’s managed to work pretty well for him; after all, he’s made it through three years of high school with his body and his dignity mostly intact, and he’s got some pretty sick battle scars to prove it.
All of that seems to go out the window whenever it comes to Will.
So Mike does what he does best and tries to keep Will at an arm’s length, to keep him close but not that close, so that Will won’t be able to see through his poorly concealed thoughts and get scared off.
This time it’s different, though.
Things have changed, somehow, for some reason.
Or
Mike has never been a jealous person. In fact, he prides himself on not being easy to read—that is, until Will comes out to him, and suddenly, the thought of him hanging out with other people forces Mike to confront the complicated feelings that he’s been running from before he loses Will for good.

Summary
Can I still call myself a writer if I can't even write a decent letter to my best friend? Can I still call them letters if I never send them?
Pretty much (almost) every letter that he writes to Will ends up in a box under his bed right next to the art binder. On their senior year Will finds them.

Summary
Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.
“Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.
“Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”
Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

Summary
Max can’t get pregnant. Mike can. Lucas wants to be a dad. Nobody’s talking about it, not really. It’s 1994, the CD skips, the snow keeps falling, and someone’s gonna cry before this baby is born. Probably Mike. Or Max. Or both.

Summary
After the Battle at Starcourt Mall Joyce and Hopper married, and the Byers-Hopper family move to Lenora Hills California on the US Government's dime.
Four years later the party is finally reuniting on a Summer trip to California and everyone is excited... except for Will.
Will feels a bit abandoned and forgotten by many of his friends- Dustin and Lucas hardly talk to him and only really talk about Hawkins when they do, and Mike stopped responding after 3 months into their move. Max, Robin and Steve are the only ones who have any sort of idea what is going on in his life now.
Feeling the absence of his childhood friends Will has moved on with his new friends in Lenora, discovering himself and becoming a person he was too afraid to let loose before.
But what will that leave in store with his childhood friends back in the picture? Is there anything that can even be done to restore some broken friendships? And what happens when new and old feelings come back to light?
