    Summary

    “Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”

    Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”

    Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.

    [...]

    “He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.

    “Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."

    Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.

    Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.

    Summary

    Without a doubt, he's looking at himself. An older version of himself. A version of himself so different, he's actually not sure if he'd have recognized his own self were it not for the person next to him — Will.

    Mike's breath gets caught in his throat.

    Will.

    He's different. So different. But he's also still so clearly Will.

    His hair is shaggy, grown out of the bowlcut he'd been rocking all the time that Mike has known him. The clothes he wears are different too, softer around the edges, brighter. His eyes are still so wide and green and earnest and the full stream of light behind him makes him look— More importantly he's— The older Will is— He just— He looks good—

    The second his thoughts finally formulate Mike almost physically shakes his head to rid them. What the hell was that? What the hell was that?

    In which older Mike and Will get sent to the roughest patch in their lives, and current Mike has to deal with what it causes him to feel on top of his already weird, raging emotions. Great.

    Summary

    “Up there,” Will said, glancing toward the sky. “If something goes wrong. If he takes over me and uses me—” He inhaled sharply. “Kill me."

    As Mike’s fingers closed around Will’s arm, the skin felt unnaturally cool, the pulse beneath it slow and rhythmic—entirely unlike the frantic, nervous heartbeat Mike knew by heart. This was not Will.

    After 'Sorcerer' Will Byers risked everything to save Max and Holly, but Vecna doesn't allow him to leave without a mark.- Mike accidentally overhears a heavy confession meant only for the Byers family, and Will requests him to do something impossible.

    Summary

    "Oh god, oh god, we've gotta get you to the hospital,” Mike panics. He pulls away and studies Will for a moment before barreling on. “Holy shit, one second you were just standing there and the next your eyes were rolling back and you were unconscious for a whole seven seconds-”

    Maybe Will really did bite the dust in the Abyss and this is the afterlife. He knows where they say boys like him end up after death. 

    But if hell was a baby-faced Mike Wheeler, still looking at him like he'd hung the stars, then maybe an eternity here wouldn't be so long.

    In which Will's connection to the hive mind has consequences in the final battle, sending him back in time to November 6th 1983.

    It's just like Back to the Future, if Marty McFly was a twelve–year–old with a bowl cut trying to save the world instead of his parents' marriage.
