Summary
Fuck public relations and managers. Fuck contracts and network obligations. Finn worked his ass off to earn them a pretty paycheque for years, but he had worked even harder to earn this for himself.
Noah was his.
In secret. Behind closed doors. Locked behind biometric passcodes and untraceable text chats, fleeting ten second displayable images, and restaurants with no phone policies, Noah was his. He’d always be his.

Takes place on the same night as the LA premiere.

Summary
It was stupid, but he felt like if he didn't say her name, it didn't count. Like he hadn’t just let Mike kiss him. The same Mike who was in a relationship with his sister, the girl who was his friend. It was wrong, but so right at the same time. Will wanted Mike to keep kissing him until the end of the world. He felt so fucking greedy.

Summary
“What the fuck do you want, Mike?” He snapped. Will might as well have whipped him with a belt. Mike jolted with shock, a stunned expression writing across his face.
“What-what do you mean?”
“I mean, what are you doing here? Why the fuck are you in New York? What could have possibly possessed you to come here?” Will spat with venom. He knew he wasn’t being fair, but it was uncontrollable. The hurt expression on Mike’s face was making him even more aggravated. If anyone had the right to feel hurt, it was Will.
After Will left for school, he gave Mike distance to grieve. He figured that whenever Mike felt like bridging that gap again, he would reach out.
He hadn’t attempted it once in the past two years.
OR
Will Byers is forced to work with Mike Wheeler on his senior capstone project. Just when everything had started to calm down in his life, Mike decided to show up again for the first time in two years. Will is devoted to his long-term boyfriend, Carlton, but can't help the magnetic pull Mike seems to have on him, no matter how hard he fights it.

Summary
The second year of college was supposed to be simple—shared apartments, late-night talks, the kind of quiet normalcy they’d fought so hard to earn.
Mike and Will have always been inseparable. They are roommates now, like it was always meant to be. Like nothing could touch them anymore.
Except something has.
Will has been seeing someone—Andrew—for two years. And somehow, Mike knows nothing about the guy. At least not in the ways that matter. Not in the way Will tells him everything else.
At first, it was just small things. A hesitation, a flinch, the way Will would go quiet whenever Andrew’s name came up—if it came up at all. Then there's the unexplained bruises, the tension in every stolen glance, the avoidance, and the way Will seems to shrink into himself when Andrew is near.
Mike can feel it, something is wrong.
Will has always needed Mike. That’s never changed. But now, whatever he’s hiding is pulling him under—and Mike might be the only one who can see it happening.
The only one who can stop it.
If Will lets him.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is a brilliant young writer with a controlled, violent inner world he hides behind intellect and charm. He observes rather than acts, studies rather than feels—until he sees Will Byers. Drawn to Will’s warmth and talent, Mike’s obsession sharpens into intention. He stalks, plans, and waits with terrifying patience. In a decade that still believes in privacy, Mike proves that love, when filtered through intelligence and entitlement, can become something lethal, quiet, and inevitable.
OR
Basically its the attic wife x ghost face killer x stockholm syndrome(like beauty and the beast but no beast just a obsessive mike wheeler)

Summary
Romantic relationships always lead to intimacy. And when you're exploring it and its borders with your beloved person, it becomes even better. However, it is also better for intimacy to stay private. Unfortunately, it is not Mike's and Will's case.
Will's parents accidentally walk on them during very much innocent making out, which is bad for two reasons.
First, they didn't come out to them yet.
Second, now there are rules, predictably coming mostly from Hopper. And after The Talk, they're even more scared to go further.
Mike doesn't want to follow the rules. Eventually, they'll face it, and he wants to be ready, both for Will and himself. Especially for Will.
So, he does the research. And then, well, uses theory in practice.

Summary
Will is quiet. After a beat, he says, in a small voice, “I’m — I’m fine. Who gave you this number?”
“Dustin,” Mike swallows, throat dry. There’s a million things he wants to say pulsing in his chest. He wants to ask why Will never told him that he was queer, why Mike had to discover through such inane neighbourhood gossip. He wants to ask what he did to make Will feel like he had to hide in such a violent world. He wants to ask why he cries in that video. He wants to ask if it really feels as good as he makes it look, eyes screwed shut, chest flushed. He wants to ask if he meant to say Mark, or Mike. He wants to ask if he imagined those lingering looks, those words, that feeling. He wants to ask if Will really never felt it, that blinding, all-encompassing love. He wants to ask if life has felt like a daze for him, as well, or if he’s awake rather than in a never-ending foggy dream. He wants to ask if there is anything he can do, or say, to get the Will Byers he knew back. But, instead, he says, “I, um.. I just wanted to – ah. I miss you. So. I, um. Asked. Yeah.”

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.
