Summary
Will loves El. He really does, okay? They’ve become practically inseparable as siblings in the past year, and Will would honestly do anything for her.
But did she really have to practice her makeup skills on Mike— while Will was in the room, of all things?
(Or; an exploration of Mike and Will’s insecurities and internalized homophobia, with the help of El’s stubborn persistency and a little bit of makeup. Cue Mike’s minor existential crisis, through Will’s confused eyes.)

Summary
Will Byers loves Mike Wheeler.
It shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course he loves Mike. He always has. But it’s never felt like this. It’s never hurt to think about it, but it also never felt like a revelation rather than a fact. It hurts, and there’s nothing he can do to ease the pain. He looks across the room at Mike and all he sees is beauty where minutes ago he only saw his best friend. He notices entire constellations in the freckles strewn across his nose, stars glittering in his eyes, and it all seems inevitable. He loves Mike. He loves him and it’s a foregone conclusion, a wish on a shooting star destined to burn out. He loves him and he can’t ever have him, not in that way, and there’s nothing in the world that can ever hurt him again quite like this.
OR: When the party dares Mike to tell someone he loves them for one hundred days, Will doesn't expect to be the unlucky recipient. He definitely doesn't expect it to consume his last three months in Hawkins. But like most things in his life, absolutely nothing goes to plan.

the prompt is so perfectly flavored in a way that creates uniquely intimate scenarios that are so genius and leave you on your toes

Summary
Sometimes, I still order pizza without olives, he wants to say. Sometimes, I write to you. For you. Sometimes, you're the only person I want to call. I still have my watch. I saw a poster for The Cure and thought of you, two months ago. It’s on my wall. Do you still like horror movies? Everything reminds me of you. You’re all I think about.
Mike shakes his head. "I think about you all the time."
Will frowns. "Don't – don't say that."
"Why not?" Mike questions, shifting where he sits. "It's true."
December, 1993.
For the first time in four years, Mike and Will speak to each other.Bookmarked by timbuktu

beautiful exploration of the desperate love that might cause us to entrap our own loved ones for our own peace of mind at the cost of their free will, and whether that even counts as love, anyway
