Summary
He told himself he'd just be house-sitting. There was nothing wrong with that. It was just until Mike got back. He told himself he'd phone hospital everyday, but that was just a lie. The sooner he heard from Mike, that he could go home and he didn't need to be there anymore, he'll kick Will out, and then he'll have to go back to his car; which was now enveloped in snow, cold on the inside as it was the outside.
Twenty-four, jaded, and broke as shit, Will Byers moves back to his rural hometown a broken pretty-boy with nothing to his name, and no one strong enough to piece him back together again.
Mike's made too much money off of being one the worst people ever to exist.
Both have a tendency to fixate.
. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.
Mike is a landlord and Will is his new tenant.

Summary
"—Can you marry my brother?" A puppyish girl with twin, low, golden-blonde pigtails and denim overalls asks, abrupt and innocent. She's braiding a plastic, pink clip of fake hair she'd put on him. "He really, really, really likes boy bunnies. He has a magazine full of them under his bed, but he's glued the pages shut. He doesn't like to talk about it, though. Tsk, tsk."
Will's mouth falls open in a quiet, full belly-laugh, completely taken aback by her sincerity and youth-bred oblivion. He's well aware of how direct kids can be—he'd taken care of them at an after-school program all throughout middle-school at a place right near his mom's old job in Lenora,but that's besides the point. No one that young has ever been so direct as to propose a prospect of marriage right to his face.

Summary
A few months after being brought back to life, Zombie Will Byers’ libido comes back full throttle.
“M-Mike,” Will gasped, jolting up from where he’d once been napping over Mike’s chest, his breath hitching sharply, his trembling voice laden with an inseparable mix of terror and surprise.
From where he’d fallen asleep post-makeout, Mike woke, looking around the room, his waking vision a little blurry around the edges. “…What’s wrong? Will, are you okay?”
”My body,” Will’s voice trembled, his hand came to grab at Mike’s bicep, gripping his skin. “It’s… I’m,” he struggled, at a loss for words.
“What is it—what’s the matter?”
Unfortunately, his caretaker—Mike Wheeler—hasn’t gotten that far into teaching Will about his anatomy, consequently leading Will down a path of self-discovery.
OR:
Crazy scientist Mike wheeler teaches Zombie Will Byers how to deal with his hard-on. After that, Will accidentally gets addicted to masturbating.

Summary
After a few fumbles and shuffles, Mike continued, seemingly out of breath. “A-Actually, I-I'm really fucking stoked to have you at school with me again… F-Fuck—I’m really, really excited to see you.”
"…You promise?" Will whispered into the receiver, his voice coming out small and thin. He bit his lip, waiting patiently because of course he would. He’d probably die waiting for Mike Wheeler.
“I promise, Will.” Mike breathed an endearing laugh, “J-Just keep talking for me, please—would you?”

When the Byers family make an impromptu return to Hawkins a month before senior year starts, move-in crates aren’t the only things Will’s brought back from Lenora.
…Somewhere tucked underneath his new bed, there’s a box filled to the brim with the evidence of his newfound success. Certificates, pictures, ribbons, and medals for a hobby he refuses to talk about.

Summary
“Ooh!” El raises her eyebrows like she just remembered something important, cutting his concern off entirely. “Max, show him what you sent me.”
Max scoffs, “That’s what I was trying to do!”
“A Tik-Tok is not worth loosing our lives over,” Will laughs. Something about the way he said it just felt like he was a mother parenting two phone-addicted teenagers—despite the fact that those years were far, far behind all of them.
“Fine. I’ll just explain it,” Max takes in a breath before she begins, “So there’s this little audio that says—“
”It’s a trend where you show baby photos of yourself doing gay things,” El interrupts, giggling.
With too much freetime and not enough viewer engagement on his art gallery’s TikTok account, 54-year-old Will Byers makes a video showing off an ancient photo of a much younger version of himself kissing a freckled, dark-haired boy right on his cheek …who he so happens to have absolutely zero recollection of.
At his twin-sister's wedding, he learns that Michael Wheeler never really left his life, and to his surprise, is a whole lot closer to him than he could ever imagine.

Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
Will Byers is perfectly happy with his life.
He has a job he loves at Lantern House Publishing, a department that runs almost entirely on caffeine and stubbornness, and a promotion that has been practically promised for months.
Unfortunately, Will is also an unbonded omega.
Which turns out to matter a lot more than anyone bothered mentioning until the position of Creative Director is suddenly no longer his.
Enter Mike Wheeler: unbonded alpha, lifelong best friend, coworker, occasional problem solver, and apparently the only person in Will's life willing to look at an absurd system and decide to fight it.
The solution should be simple.
Just paperwork. A few appointments. A little participation in Harmony's Bonding Preparation Program.
Nothing complicated. Nothing that should change the relationship they've had for years.
Mike looks at him from across the couch and says two words.
“Use me.”

Summary
"Last night, the painting... it came to life! He spoke to me and... it was his voice. It was his voice, Jonathan."
It's 1999, and Will Byers is a successful artist in NYC, making ends meet despite the difficulties his lifestyle presents. Only problem? He's out of inspiration and running low on funds, having sold the last of his paintings at a charity auction he didn’t even want to be a part of. So his therapist suggests he paint the thing he can’t seem to let go of, and with that homework he decides to paint a portrait of the One That Got Away.
It's fine, and somewhat cathartic... until the painting starts speaking with the voice of his deceased childhood love. His best friend, painted in the colors that hold all the words and thoughts he could never say.
