Summary
Hawkins High Class of ’89 was the first time nerds and jocks became friends, cliques forgotten. Everyone knows it started after the town recovered from being split in four.
Fewer people know it started with Will Byers and Chance Lawson’s secret relationship.
Or,
Three times Chance and Will schemed to dismantle Hawkins High’s social hierarchy so they could spend more time together—and the one time the party caught on to Will’s newfound love.

Summary
Their shoulders brushed again, slow and equally savored. The kind of movement you couldn't pretend was an accident.
So Will brushed back, just barely. Testing. Flirting. Mike inhaled softly, the faintest noise escaping him. And then he spoke like he was physically unable to stay silent any longer.
“Will? If… if that boy you like…” he was standing so close that Will could feel the warmth of him against the cold air. “…If you ever wanted to tell him…”
Will felt his breath stop.
“…I think he’d want to know.”
OR: Yet another buzzy post vol 1 fic where Will grows more confident, Mike short-circuits over it, and they save the world together !!
**Can be read as a vol 2/3 fix-it fic post-finale

Summary
“I always thought Mike was a little too intense with Will, honestly,” Lucas shares, fingers tapping the table absentmindedly.
He hears Max scoff, and Jane’s little giggle from the side that he turns to them and raises his brow to question their reaction.
“You clearly weren’t looking enough Lucas” Max says, Jane nods in agreement and Lucas looks at both of them in disbelief before giving Dustin a look of ‘Are they serious?’ And only gives him a shrug back, also not clearly understanding what the two girls were saying, because he was also pretty sure that Mike was a little (read: massive) obsessive/possessive/protective over Will.
“What I’m trying to say is, Mike might be intense with Will, but Will was the one who conditioned that, like a little puppeteer running a puppet show” Oh. Oh. Sweet? Innocent? Kind Will? Grooming Mike to be this Mike?
“Like a puppy” Jane adds.
or in which for the longest time Lucas has always thought that Mike Wheeler was the one with the unsettling obsession towards Will, but one conversation with Max has him spiraling and digging from his pre-pubescent memories.

Summary
“Building a castle for your love?” Micheal smirked, delivering a pat on Mike’s back that almost sent the boy flying off the couch. “Marvelous! You certainly are me. Will shall surely love a castle.”
“Uh, it's a fort. Not an actual castle.”
Micheal ignored Mike. “William and I will help you. There will be no universe where we aren’t meant to be together. Our souls are connected, no matter where we are.” He smiled and the scars on his face looked less threatening. That must be how William sees Micheal. A mop of messy curly hair and a wide cute smile.
“You’ll help? Because I want to fix Castle Byers for Will.”
“Certainly. Demogorgons are roaming your woods, William will accompany you while I can stay here and distract your Will.”
“Okay, okay.” Mike nodded his head and grinned. “Deal.”

Paladin! Mike and Cleric! Will accidentally appear in Hawkins and find out their counterparts are not together! So they decide to play matchmakers and help a struggling Mike Wheeler to confess to Will.Bookmarked by deathtothereader
