    Summary

    Lance was seven the first time his mama told him about soulmates. How you can take your soulmate's pain from them and they can take yours. On that day, Lance swore his soulmate would never have to suffer and from then on insisted on taking their every injury from them. He dutifully ignored the fact that they'd never once taken away his pain. They must have had a reason...

    Keith was seven the first time he heard about soulmates. He thought it was a load of bullshit. Why the hell would someone you've never met want to take away your pain? How could he accept someone only caring about him because they were soulmates? Out of principle, he refused to ever take away his soulmate's pain.

    Whoever thought the two would later meet in space and be more than a little pissed off at each other?

    Summary

    Does anyone know Lance is in love with Keith?

    Of course not. And Lance would very much like to keep it that way, thank you! Keith already doesn't want anything to do with him ever since coming back from that space whale; the last thing Lance needs on top of his crumbling self-worth and shaky standing in the team is a rejection that shatters his heart in pieces, too.

    But now, Lance got himself in a bit of a pickle. Which is fine, because Lance has a plan to get out of it! A wonderful, brilliant, masterful, completely fool-proof plan. His team won't look at him like he's more incompetent than they already do, he won't have to spend the rest of his life trapped on some alien planet, and Keith will never find out just how head over heels he is for him. It's a win-win-win situation.

    Of course, with Keith, things are never quite so simple, and Lance's plan soon causes a domino effect that changes the entire course of his life.

     

    Or:

     

    Maybe Lance should have been a little more specific when he said he'd do anything to get home. Because now...

    "You must bestow a kiss on the one your soul most desires."

    ...Fuck.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Summary

    Another fucking dream about Will.

    Mike presses the heels of his hands into his eyes until he sees stars.

    Three years.

    Three goddamn years since graduation, since separate colleges, since everything changed and nothing changed at all.

    And still—every night—his traitor brain keeps building Will out of memory and longing until the wanting feels more solid than reality.

    He lets his hands fall.

    Stares at the ceiling.

    Tries to breathe.

    Fails.

    Summary

    The world is ending, which means for the time being, Will is living at the Wheeler’s house with Mike and El. Which means his life is once again a third-wheeling roller rink nightmare, and he’s basically invisible to Mike.

    Until Jonathan gives him $20 to go to an art sale, and he meets Tobias, a guy just as into art as he is.

    It’s not long before him and Tobias start dating.

    And then suddenly, Mike’s paying attention to him after all.

    or

    Will gets a boyfriend. Mike doesn’t like it.

    Summary

    The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.

    When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.

    “Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”

    Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.

    ---------------

    Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

    Summary

    Will thinks he knows what it means now.

    It means Mike needs him. It means Mike wants to kiss him, like he sometimes does, and Will is always going to let him. Even when he knows that it’s wrong. Even when he knows that he will go back to Carlton and tell him that everything is fine.

    Summary

    “Mike,” Will exhaled, still smiling though he’d gained a certain hardness to his voice. “You know I made this, right?”

    “Well yeah, obviously.” Mike laughed, not yet feeling the weight of Will’s tone. “Who else? You’ve seen Dustin’s art.”

    He shook his head. “You’re not understanding. I made it. It was all me.”

    “Oh.” The gears of Mike’s brain were finally turning, ten years all too late.

    Mike Wheeler and Will Byers talk about their feelings, ten years too late. Or is it...

    Summary

    Millions of questions bubbled to the front of Mike’s head.

    So was it all real? Was he not imagining those hesitations in conversation, pauses that felt like Will’s eyes were trying to scream something at him? Were those points of contact actually filled with electricity, not just an accidental nudge? Were those stomach aches after late night conversations actually butterflies? Did this have to do with Will lying about the painting? Why does this have Mike so god damn confused? And—a new feeling—why does it have him so god damn hopeful?

    or Mike coming to terms with all of the uncertainty around him and what Will's coming out means for him.

    Summary

    “You said I was bad at managing my time between my girlfriend and my best friend but you’re basically doing the same thing.”

    Girlfriend?!” Will spits out, thoroughly shell-shocked.

    “I don’t get it! You could’ve told me you had a crush on someone, I would’ve—and when did you ever talk to Robin? You move to California and all of a sudden you’ve got all these girls hanging off of you and you’re interested in older girls—“ Mike’s voice embarrassingly cracks. He decides to quit while he’s ahead before he delves into the forbidden.

    In the wake of the apocalypse, Mike and Will find their way to each other.

    Jealous? No way. Mike's not jealous. He's just—concerned. That's all. Will and Robin have never spoken before and well, who is Mike if not Will's best friend who looks out for him?

    (Season 5 vol 1 fic where Mike is totally not jealous at all whatsoever and the many ways this leads to growth, self-knowledge, and maybe even a chance for Mike to save not just the world, but the person who's always mattered the most to him.)

    Summary

    Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”

    “Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”

    “Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”

    “Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”

    Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

    Summary

    Mike has spent months ignoring what he feels when he looks at Will. Months pretending that the way his heart races doesn't mean anything. That "best friends" is enough.

    Then Will uses his powers to save them all, and Mike can't stop watching. Can't stop wanting.

    When Mike walks downstairs and sees Will changing his shirt—sees the freckles scattered across his back like stars—everything he's been denying comes crashing down.

    Will knows. He's always known. And he's done waiting.
