Summary
Will Byers is caught in the grip of his self-proclaimed vice of 'want.' It's why he's hooked on drugs and cigarettes and pain and sex, and it's why he blames himself for what's happened to him. He believes that, because of this, he's unlovable except for people wanting him as an object. Luckily, his best friend Mike shows him that it's not true and he's still loved and worthy even if he's broken.
(No smut, just referenced past sexual abuse/assault and non-sexual intimacy)

Bookmarker's Notes
Literally heartbreaking and beautiful. Somehow added so much depth to just a one shot

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
Santos avoids the subject; Whitaker earns his keep.
Slice of life told mostly through the eyes of Dennis Whitaker. Friendship fluff. Angst. All the good stuff! Picks up right at the end of Season 1 and fills in the gaps leading up to Season 2.
