Summary
Will burst into one of the most blinding, dazzling smiles Mike had ever seen. It wouldn't matter if they were on the darkest, cloudiest night in the middle of the ocean; Will was a beacon of light. Mike couldn't tell if there were actual stars in his eyes or if it was just a reflection, but it didn't matter. Will was too stunningly beautiful, and that look was too intense, and he had to look away as his stomach turned and his brain tried to come up with a generic response to whatever Dustin was saying on the radio. The past few weeks he had been desperately trying to convince himself that it was just his old crush rearing it's head. He had moved on from Will, really. They could be friends again without all the relationship drama that came between them in highschool. But sitting on the top of a hill on a cold November night he realized nothing had changed at all.
Fuck, he was still madly in love with Will Byers.
...
After graduating, both Mike and Will struggled to adjust to life after the Upside Down. It didn't help they had already drifted apart. But now, 8 years later, Mike finally reached out again, and the 2 struggle to rebuild their friendship while also hiding their romantic feelings for each other.Series

Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.

Summary
He doesn’t mean it like that – in a romantic way. It’s just what he feels – that Will is his superhero, brave and smart and always there for Mike – and he was thinking about superheroes anyway, what with that Spider-guy from YouTube, and Mike is groaning and letting his head thump against his desk because he is really, truly head over heels in love with Will.
He’s learned to control it a bit better, tamp it down into something manageable, because Will’s his best friend and also the best person he knows, and he deserves better than Mike stumbling over himself every time Will flashes him a smile with those bunny teeth or puts his cold feet under Mike’s thighs on the couch.
Plus, Will has a boyfriend. That’s definitely – a deterrent, to put it kindly.
will has been sneaking around more and more, and mike's convinced that he has a secret boyfriend. the appearance of a local web-slinger is probably unrelated.

Summary
This book is an intimate retelling of the events following the renowned 1970s rock band Sorcerer & The Six's rise to fame—and their abrupt split while on tour in Chicago on July 12, 1979. From the humble beginnings of the Brave Brothers and Will Byers to their legendary run at the top of the charts, their career as a band was short-lived compare to the mark they left behind on rock ‘n’ roll.
Lead vocalist Will Byers and frontman Mike Wheeler exploded on the stage with a messy, kaleidoscopic bang. The bandmates, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, and Max Mayfield, as well as band photographer and creative director Jane Hopper, were among the collateral.
This story aims for a literary approach, but in it lies the truth. As deceptive as the most famous among us can be, they cannot hide from themselves as we travel back to 1972 and follow Sorcerer & The Six all the way to their inevitable end in 1979.Or;
A Stranger Things/Daisy Jones & The Six AU. Love, lust, and loss work in tandem as they come to terms with their overwhelming fame. Whether it be a moment tucked in the privacy of a hotel room or happening in front of tens of thousands of fans on stage, you see it all.

Summary
He flipped open the yearbook and slid it across the table.
"Every junior and senior at Hawkins High is in this book. I need you to go through the photos and find out which guys could be interested in Will."
El stared at him. "You want me to look into people's heads to find out if they are gay?"
His face lit up. "Yes! Exactly. I knew you'd understand."
"Mike. I can not do that." El frowned at him, looking genuinely let down.
Mike's smile dropped. "What? Why not?"
Determined that Will deserves someone who loves him, Mike enlists El to use her powers to scan the Hawkins High yearbook and identify every gay guy in school. She gives him three names. Mike gives himself a week to find Will the perfect boyfriend.

Summary
“Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.
“What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”
Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”
So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?

Summary
The students lean forward as one. No pens move. No pages turn.
“Writing,” Mike continues, “is what happens when the things you couldn’t say start demanding a form.”
Will’s jaw tightens.
“You don’t write because you’re imaginative, no,” Mike says. “You write because not writing becomes unbearable. Because there’s a version of you that never got to speak—and the page is the only place where it still might.”or
Mike is invited to attend a seminar at the very same college where Will teaches. It has been years since they last spoke. Also, Walt Whitman haunts the narrative.

Hopper rubbed his face, looking suddenly tired. "Look, I know you think I'm being unreasonable. But I'm trying to do what's best for you. What if..." He paused, eyes looking back and forth between El and Will. He was thinking hard about something. "What if we modified the rule slightly?"
"Modified how?" El asked.
"You can date… when Will does."
El and Will’s stomachs both dropped.
"What?!" They burst out in unison.
"You heard me. When your brother starts dating someone, you can date too. That way I know you're both mature enough to handle it."

Summary
“Jesus, Will. No! Yes? I don’t know. I’m just saying if your type is people that look like him then it’s kind of shallow- not shallow- restrictive. There’s many other physiques out there. And yeah, Lucas has beautiful glistening skin, broad shoulders, big muscles and a deep voice. And he is athletic with nice hair-”
“Kinda sounds to me like he is actually your type.” Max grins.
“Thanks, bro. I appreciate it.”
or,
Mike has come to believe that Lucas is Will's type. (He is not.) Mike now thinks the best way to handle to situation is to either be more like Lucas or to change Will's type. Except he is stupid and everyone is tired of him.

Summary
“You… um, smoke?” Will asks before he can stop himself, swallowing as he watches a boy lean against the dusty, cracking brick wall.
Will doesn’t know much about the boy, except that his name is Mike and his father is the pastor.
“What?” He replies, pulling the cigarette from his lips and lightly blowing the smoke from his mouth. “Just because my dad is the pastor, you think I can’t enjoy a cigarette?
OR:
Will Byers is no stranger to religious guilt. He carries it everywhere he goes, and it’s starting to weigh him down.
When he meets Mike Wheeler, the pastor’s son, he realizes there is more to life than just fearing God, and it’s much scarier.

Mike grins so widely that he displays each one of his baby teeth. "Open it," he says. "It's a card. I made it for you."
When Will gingerly peels the birthday card open, Mike’s uneven handwriting is displayed across the page.
The p’s in happy are backwards, the y wobbly and curled at the end, and the k in Mike is also flipped the wrong way. The word birthday is etched in their kindergarten teacher’s steady print, and it seems like she'd also added the punctuation for him.
Happy birthday, Will!
