the study of falling through air (and spider webs) by peachluv
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
19 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
Falling tens of stories down to his death, watching as the lights of the city pass by in a blur, Mike wonders if his downfall was giving up on Will, or in reality, unconsciously not giving up on him at all.
or
Befriending masked vigilante Spider-Man wasn’t on Mike’s bucket list. His whole plan for his last year of high school was to keep his head down, balance the rest of his studies with his duties as the head of the school newspaper, and pretend like he still isn’t mourning the loss of his friendship with Will Byers.
So when Spider-Man saves him one night, he thanks him and gets on with the rest of his life. But then Mike sees him again, and again, and suddenly Mike wants to keep seeing him because there’s just something that reminds him of Will. And if all he can have are these small moments where he sees his ex best friend in a stranger —
Well, Mike would rather have that than nothing at all.
or
Will is Spider-Man. Mike is oblivious.

Summary
Will's never been in a situation worse than this. How's he going to spend the next few months with Steve Harrington, resident douchebag of Hawkins?
Mike's never been in a situation more infuriating than this. How's he going to spend the next few months alongside Robin Buckley without strangling her?
Robin has never seen two teenagers more head-over-heels for each other than Mike and Will. Can they just get their heads out of the sand already?
Steve has never been more nervous around a teenage boy. Something about Will makes him feel guilty.
(Or; In the oncoming apocalypse, Mike and Will are forcibly 'buddied up' with Robin and Steve. It gets worse before it gets better.)

How Obvious? (as obvious as my eyes searching for you) by EnchantedMyth
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
31 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
"How Obvious?" #MikeWhatTheFuckDidYouDoGate [What happened in those 18 months.]
As obvious as Mike's eyes landing on Will again, and again, and again.
Vecna had torn Hawkins in half. The air tasted like chemicals and ash. Schools shut down, and soldiers patrolled the streets like the world had tilted just past survivable. Everything was wrong, but Mike Wheeler wasn’t complaining, because two months ago the Byers had moved in with the Wheelers.
Mike’s breath stumbled in his chest. He tried to ground himself, tried to think of anything, anything except the awareness of how close Will was (he was sitting at a normal distance), except the shape of Will’s mouth when he spoke. Maybe if he counted to ten, he could shake off whatever the hell this was instead of staring at Will’s lips like some creep.
One… two… three… four…
When he lifted his eyes again, Will’s eyes were still on him, he was still talking, and he looked so alive.
Five… six—
Mike’s pulse thudded hard enough that the numbers broke apart in his head. The air felt too thin, his chest too tight, everything tilting just slightly off-center around the curve of Will’s smile.
God.
Fuck.

mike wheeler's guide to falling in love with a superhero by smoosnoom (moonsooms)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
05 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
“Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”
Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"
"What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.
In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.- Language:

Summary
It's November sixth. Seven years ago, Mike’s world went to shit in the woods outside Hawkins Laboratory. For three years, his life was a bloody, twisted wreck with a hell of a lot of casualties. Somehow, this just feels like another extension of that, like the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be a train, and it’s bearing down on him at full speed while he’s just standing there and letting it.
Seven years ago today, Mike Wheeler lost his best friend, and then he lost himself.
November 6, 1990, in the corner of a crowded room with another boy’s hands in his hair, he feels like maybe, just maybe, he’s finally got a little bit of himself back. He doesn’t know if it’s a part that’s worth keeping, is all.

A Black Mass Over Highway Ninety by greenvlvetcouch (mpr3g)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
13 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
Remus loves Sirius, and Sirius loves Remus.
That’s just the way it is—call it a law of the universe or just the way the world works—but after four years away, Remus gets a call from Sirius asking him if he remembers a promise they made freshman year.
And, of course, Remus remembers. How could he not?
Something like a love story from the summer of 1978, full of Southern Cuts and Old Style, shitty motel rooms, and questionable decisions. Poor excuse for poetry and late night dancing, a trip to Vegas, and one too many honeymoon suites.
Cherry pop rocks, too-tight pants, and a road trip across the U.S.

Summary
'Touching and caressing and kissing, evidently, was just how Patrick showed his affection. Maybe it was because he hadn’t gotten enough of it from his own family, who knows? Art had gotten used to it. But he was also more than aware of how it looked to the outside world, and he had done his best to keep these friendly gestures to the confines of their own private spaces. Art had always been the one to put up boundaries, to make sure that everyone else knew – including himself, sometimes – that nothing gay was going on. They were just friends.'
A look at Art and Patrick's time as roommates at the Mark Rebellato Tennis Academy, as Art contemplates his relationship with Patrick, his sexuality, and the convergence of those two.

Summary
“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.
(genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

Summary
As Neil fixed his tie in the bathroom mirror, pulling it so tight he was half-certain he'd asphyxiate before the night closed, he seriously regretted telling his father about Knox's connection to the Danburry's. Or, more specifically, Knox’s connection to one Dr. Danburry.
Alternatively;
Neil has a dinner scheduled with the Danburry's that he is absolutely not looking forward to. Little does he know that the dinner will have an extra guest attending—a "friend" of Ginny's from school, with sandy-blonde hair, powder blue eyes, and a notebook clutched to his chest.

Summary
My name is Patroclus Menoitiades. Although, whether you consider my blood or my heart, I carry two names: Menoitiades and Pelides alike. I am the son of two fathers. Both were kings and sons of kings. The first was given to me. The second I found. During this life, and in place of what I was given at birth, I found myself a family.
In the beginning, there was Automedon and Briseis. The first was born on Skyros, son of a man who ruled the isle. The second was born in Troy, and was ruled by all. Then came Paris and Helen, both home wherever the other was.
But first, before all of them… There was my therapon. I never found the words to describe what he meant to me in common terms. My love, my brother, my friend? I don't think I ever will. He was half of my soul, as the poets say.
My name is Patroclus Menoitiades. I have more fathers than most and missed a mother every day of my life. I was born in Opus in 1984... I shall probably not die there.Bookmarked by Starmind
