Just for a second, I remembered myself by Romanoff_mylove

Summary
Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.
And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.
OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
“Everything about being with Eddie feels right, and good, so so good, Maddie. It’s not timing or logistics, or even—I know he’d say yes if I did ask to move in.”
“But you feel like you can’t?”
Buck shakes his head.
“Because I’m cursed.”
(or, buck needs a loophole. eddie needs to know buck needs a loophole.)

Summary
Really, Eddie doesn’t care that the PTA aren’t his biggest fan. He knows he misses too many meetings, and it’s not like he’s best friends with any of the other parents. It doesn’t affect Christopher, so it doesn’t bother him. He’ll pay for the annual fundraising mugs and consider his duty done.
But then Buck picks Christopher up from a class trip and it all goes to hell.
Like, of course Buck is everyone’s dream guy. He’s responsible with kids, and kind, and funny and interesting and hot to touch. That’s obvious. But now Eddie’s fighting to keep the PTA moms, teachers, and dads, all off an unsuspecting and tempting Buck.
Because Eddie is a good friend. Right?

I’m not your last.

Oh.

Summary
“Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”
Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”
Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”
“Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”
Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”
OR -
After finding out that Eddie doesn't know what his love language is, Buck sets about finding out for him. He begins a five week experiment, one for each love language, to figure out which will make Eddie feel the most loved.

Summary
“I’ve only been kicked in the stomach once, and I wasn’t ready for it then,” Yang explains, the beginning to what Blake can imagine is going to be a very compelling point. “And that time, it was a stinky nasty teen boy.”
Blake does everything in her power to act like she is not charmed by this. “Are you saying I’m better or worse than a stinky nasty teen boy?”
“I’m saying,” Yang begins, tensing her abs again. Her voice is high and tight when she says: “That I’d rather it be you.”
-
Blake steps foot at Beacon U, and life slaps her across the face with three things she’s never had: friends, tequila, and the kind of wretched crush they write songs about.
She tries to focus. Tries to be a good wingwoman for her newly-out roommate. Tries to pretend like she's never been jealous in her life.
(Fails at all three.)

Summary
A fat raindrop splashes on Mike’s cheek, slips down his face and down his chin; falls on his neck to disappear inside his damp shirt. Leaves behind the scorching trail of Will’s gaze on his skin.
Mike tightens his grip on the soda cans when Will’s adam’s apple bobs up and down, considers closing his eyes and tipping his head back, let the tepid rain speck his face, soak him to the bone.
A kiss in the rain would be romantic, right? Date appropriate.
“You should get back in the car.”
or; Michael Wheeler and the mortifying ordeal of being in a car with a beautiful boy.

Summary
“Two shots ring out! BAM!-then a pause-BAM! Mike’s head snaps towards the sound, squinting his eyes to orient himself to the darkness. A guttural, pained wail echoes through the trees as if some forsaken wraith howls at him in this lonely forest, it’s voice sounding all too familiar. Then, a loud screeching roar follows close behind it. Another shot! Mike sucks in a wretched, frightened breath, his heart thrashing in his chest so hard that it feels as if it might shatter his ribs. Dread settles sickeningly in his belly.
"Will….”
OR:
The one in which Mike gets to be Will's knight in shining armor.

Summary
“We’re supposed to be a team.”
Mike’s hand falls from the door knob. Instinctively, he takes a step back, and he turns back around. The door closes gently behind him, and Mike stares at his boyfriend in surprise and in confusion. “What?”
“We’re supposed to be a team,” Will repeats, his voice trembling yet still a bit angry. His eyes are narrowed at Mike—defensive but still on guard, wounded but still ready to fight.
It’s familiar. Somehow, the two of them always end up like this.
Or:
A year after the Upside Down’s destruction, Will and Mike are in what their friends like to call their “honeymoon phase.” But when a new problem arises and puts strain on their relationship, the two of them must learn what it truly means to work together as a team and to love each other well.

Summary
Mike has been acting weird lately - making excuses, being evasive, smiling to himself when he thinks no one is looking. And the hickeys are the nail in the coffin. Will knows Mike has a new girlfriend that he hasn't told anyone about, and he's determined to dig up clues about this secret lady-love. Not because he's jealous. Will has moved on from Mike - really. He refuses to spend his whole life pining over someone who's never going to want him. He just wants to find out about this mystery girl, to make sure she's right for Mike and she's treating him well.
But when Mike invites his lab partner from biology along to a party, Will is a tad distracted from his mission. Because Emmett is pretty clearly gay.
(Spoiler alert: Mike isn't dating a girl.)(Note: I know not many people care about OCs (and I totally understand), but I promise this is very byeler-centered - it's much more about Mike and Will than it is about Mike's bf, and it is endgame byeler.) (Also: prompt from Tumblr. Thank you, sorry it took like a year oops!)

Summary
“Why did you want me awake?” he asks.
“I–” but Mike stops and meets Will’s eyes who only hears Mike sighs before he looks away and shuffles to sit cross legged on the couch, never leaving Mike’s hand which now rests on his ankles.
“Mike you can—”
“I feel like you’re keeping things away from me,” he cuts him.
And that’s exactly why he should have kept on pretending to be asleep.
Avoiding was good.
Avoiding wasn’t lying.Or, they didn’t share a kiss in my last fic so here’s to some (includes deep talks, confessions and ugly cries).

Summary
After Mike unwittingly stumbles into a series of interpersonal bombshells, he immediately sets out to find Will so he can find out what, exactly, that painting meant, and why Will lied about it. Unfortunately, Mike is obsessively obstinate and relentless to a fault, and he'll go to the literal ends of the earth to get the answers he needs.

Summary
“Can I ask you something?”
Will laughs a little, shaking his head with an expression of complete bewilderment. “You already have.”
“Something else.”
Will shrugs. Mike wonders what he’s thinking. “Go for it.”
“It might be weird,” Mike warns in a stage whisper. He isn’t sure what’s weird or not anymore. He has a feeling this question crosses the line, but the feeling isn’t strong enough to stop him from asking. Not with Will standing so close, looking so glowy and perfect.
“Whatever, Mike,” Will laughs. “It can’t be weirder than what’s already happened to-”
“Have you ever thought about us?”In which Mike Wheeler gets drunk, tries to kiss his best friend, and is generally an idiot. What else is new.

CAUTION: Do NOT Spy on Your Best Friend When He's Crying, Unless You Want to Learn Something You Wish You Didn't Know (Or Do You?) by ambrosia_n_rice

Summary
“I-I-” Will tries to speak through the hiccupping sobs. “I just… I l-love Mike, and I don’t know what t-to do.”
The room is deathly silent.
“El.” Max gently shakes her shoulder. “Get out of there.”
Eleven takes off the blindfold.
“Wait, no! We need to know what he’s upset about!” Mike is looking at Max like she’s crazy.
Everyone stares at Mike.
“What?” he says.
They keep staring at him.
“Were you actually dropped as an infant or something?” Max finally says.---
Will is hopelessly in love with Mike, Mike is utterly obtuse, and Max is the only person with a brain. Featuring Dustin and Lucas sharing a single braincell, Hopper despising Mike (lovingly), the Girlboss Gang aka Will, Eleven, and Max, and Will crying like so often, but it's okay because I'm wrapping him up in a blanket and snuggling him forever.
Takes place just before Season 3, aka the mall season, and starts with Mike/Eleven and Max/Lucas.
UNFINISHED, and probably won't be finished (sorry).
