    Summary

    Olesya Ilyukhina will be a great astronaut. She knows this, mostly because she's stellar at what she does — at making things, at designing, at problem-solving — but also because she knows what it is to orbit.

    She'd orbited someone, once. Felt the pull of her, loved her dearly, fell into the feeling of it like a ship yielding to the gravity of a looming horizon.

    She will be a great astronaut, a willing sacrifice, because she already knows what it is to die. Partly, at least. In halves.

    - or -

    Grace asks Ilyukhina why she's so alright with dying. She tells him about snow, the stars, and the ring she used to wear on her left hand.

    Summary

    “So… will you marry me?”
    For a second, Will didn’t respond. His eyes shone, full of tears that refused to fall. He knelt
    down too, never taking his eyes off him.
    “Mike…” he let out a broken laugh.
    “God, you’re incredibly unfair." He nodded, already crying.
    “Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.” He took the ring with trembling hands.
    “Yes,Michael Wheeler," he repeated, his voice breaking.
    “I will marry you.”
    Mike stood up immediately and pulled him into a tight embrace, as if he were afraid he’d disappear if he let go. Will buried his face in his neck, laughing and crying at the sametime. Distant applause echoed behind them, but Mike didn’t hear anything else. He only felt Will. His warmth. His breathing.
    I’m going to marry Will.

     

    Or

    2 times Mike pretended to propose vs 1 where he actually did + a byler wedding.

    Summary

    Summer break, two years after graduating high school. Will and Mike almost kiss, and everything changes. They find themselves on a journey together after a mysterious clue. They have no choice but to finally confront what’s been going on between them for years.
     

    “I keep showing up,” Mike says. His voice doesn’t break, but he feels like it should. “Even when you try to throw me away.”
    Will flinches, and Mike hates himself for it immediately.
    “I didn’t- ” Will says, and his eyes drop. “I didn’t throw you away.”
    Mike’s mouth twitches. Not a smile. Something sadder. “You threw the letters away.”

    Summary

    Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.

    Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.

    aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

    Summary

    OCTOBER 31st 1983

    M: I don’t know. Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy.

     

    W: me too…

     

    M: well…if we’re both going crazy, week go crazy together…right?

    W: chtss…yeah. Crazy together.

    NOVEMBER 6th 1987

    ”You said… Crazy together. Listen, I don’t wanna scare you, Will. But you promised me. Crazy together. If you’re going crazy, I’ll go crazy with you too.” A tremble in his voice as he spoke those words. A tear trickled down Mike’s right cheek, a light tear kissing a trail down his face. He let out a soft, breathily chuckle. “I love you.” He said, just barely a mere whisper.

    Summary

    The fact that Mike is single now isn’t relevant. It can’t be relevant. Another girl will come along, and it won’t be Will because he doesn’t have the right parts. Wasn’t born the right way, the way that Mike would have preferred. It’s fine, except for the fact that it’s not fine at all, except for the fact that it’s so not fine that Will’s life is in imminent danger due to how fucked up he is over it.

    But boys don’t cry, according to The Cure, so Will won’t either. He’s trying to take it to heart.

    ***

    Summary

    “God, Will, don’t apologize,” Mike said firmly, no room for argument. “I’m sorry, okay? I’m so sorry, I just rushed into it. Fuck, that fucking bastard’s lucky he’s already dead.” His voice was steady, but there was something fierce under it now. Protective.

    Will let out a breath, tension leaving him when he knew Mike wasn’t upset with him. “I didn’t want you to think it was because I didn’t want to-” He gestured vaguely between them. “This.”

    “I don’t. But, we really don’t have to if it’s making you upset,” Mike rushed to assure. “We can just talk, or read that new Spiderman comic, or… cuddle, or something.”

    “No,” Will said too quickly. “I mean- we can. But I think I want to try again. Maybe I can try to make my brain, like, associate it with a good memory. With you. I mean, only if you want to.”
    ....

    or: Will has trauma regarding his mouth because of Vecna and the Upsidedown. He tries to figure this whole kissing thing out, with Mike.

    Summary

    We break apart for a second when Will manages to whisper "Mike."

    It already hit him where I’m going with this. But his voice is just so fucking hot when we're kissing, his lips swallowing in red, I can't resist but to reconnect our lips to make him even breathless.

    Will brings a hand up to my cheek, resistantly pulling me back to say "Your parents are home."

    I bring a hand down to unbolt the first bottom of his flannel "So?"
