Summary
Being a part-time superhero doesn’t solve Will’s problems; instead, it adds to them. As Cleric, he’s forced to deal with his egotistical know-it-all of a partner, Paladin. As Will, he’s stuck hopelessly pining after his best friend. He’s honestly not sure which is worse.
One thing’s for sure, though — he needs a change. In one of his weaker moments, Will comes up with a plan: get over Mike by getting under someone else, someone he knows he won’t fall for.
Maybe Paladin is good for something, after all.

Summary
Will Byers is possessed. Again. But this time it's coming for him fast and hard, and it's not something they can just force out by poking him with a fire iron; he needs a different form of release, and Mike Wheeler has been waiting.
It's El that answers for Will, and for every truth that she utters everything begins to click into place.
"Will would need someone to help him."
And there it finally is, the undeniable truth: Someone needs to fuck Will through it. It doesn't land like a sucker punch to the gut that would have left him winded like Mike had expected. Instead, the fact consumes him like a sudden blast of cold wind, eliciting a tingle in his skin and leaving goosebumps in its wake to travel from his arms up to his shoulders and to his nape, at the back of his ears. He feels it settle in his scalp like a hundred pinpricks from a needle.
"I'll do it."
Mike signs his death sentence in three words. He finds it hard to regret—even poor bastards due for the executioner's block are granted their last meal, after all.
Or: byler Fuck Or Die, wherein mike has to exorcise will by fucking the possession out of him as it is actively ongoing.

Summary
Mike finally looked over at Will. "Would you ever do it?"
Will sat up slightly, becoming more confused the further the conversation continued.
"Friends with benefits?" Will asked, still trying to process what Mike was asking him.
"Yeah."
“With who?” Will asked softly, his heart booming against his rib cage.
“With me,” Mike said casually, like he hadn’t just shifted Will’s entire world.
Or: Mike and Will agree to be Friends with Benefits while on a Summer road trip. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“Will, how is it possible that you cool things off for Mike without even being there?”
“What? I don’t—” he starts.
“Yeah, you’re like his cooler,” Dustin adds. “When you don’t come out with us, Mike just sits at the bar and mopes.”
“I do not!” Mike shouts.
“And when you do come out with us,” he continues. “Mike spends half the night checking on you. And he’ll tell whatever girl he’s talking to that he needs to go ‘check on his roommate,’ and he ditches her.”
“Will, don’t take this the wrong way, but you’ve totally been cockblocking Mike without even doing anything,” Lucas teases.
“Come on, don’t be a dick, Lucas,” Mike grumbles.
or
After a months-long dry spell, the party agrees to help each other get laid, and a misguided Will dedicates himself to being Mike's anti-cooler. Then, a drinking game gone wrong puts Mike and Will in a precarious situation where they must kiss or risk losing the game, and a panicked Mike accidentally says something a little too revealing about his feelings, much to Will's surprise.

Summary
“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.

Summary
"So after being with her for years, you couldn't even tell her you loved her when she needed it the most?" Will spat back at him.
"I kept looking at her and seeing you. God you look so much alike, whenever I was with her, I kept thinking about you."
"No, don't put this on me. It's not my fault you couldn't tell Jane you loved her," Will replied. "Not even when she was killing herself to save us."
Or
Will wished it had been him instead of Jane.
So does Mike, but in an entirely different way.Bookmarked by LexiReads22

Summary
It’s New York City’s hottest summer on record, and Mike and Will land the perfect post-grad serving job in one of the city’s finest restaurants. They’ve got loads of cash tips, two shiny new college degrees, a cigarette in each hand, and the whole city at their fingertips.
What starts as a sex joke written on an order ticket evolves into passing dirty notes with no goal other than embarrassing each other in front of customers. The sneakier, the filthier, the more absurd, the better.
Sometimes I think Chef should put you on the menu. You already look good enough to eat. -M
You’re so fucking greedy, I know you would devour me. -W
The lines of the joke blur when their smoke breaks in the alleyway start heating up into something else entirely.
Or: Mike and Will can only ask for what they really want when it’s in note form.

"I wanna test something."
"Test something," Will repeats. Mike perks up a little sitting up on an elbow, like he thinks Will is finally getting it. Which he's not, for the record.
Mike's words come quick. "Yeah, just to see. Nothing too crazy. Not even like last night necessarily. Or not not like last night. Just smaller. Simple. Like earlier today, in the living room. You know wh—"
"Like your kiss with Jane," Will interrupts.
"Yes. Exactly."
Or: It's January 1992, and Mike and Will are college roommates, teetering on the edge of becoming something more. Mike drunkenly kisses Will at a bar, the night before Jane returns after five years of being presumed dead. Will convinces himself everything is fine, this is life returning to the way it was supposed to be. But Mike won’t stop kissing him.

Summary
Those protective instincts kick in and Mike can’t help himself as a crazy, irrational idea takes root in his mind.
An idea that has absolutely nothing to do with seeing Will in a Speedo two nights a week for an entire year. Nope. Definitely not.
“What if I joined the team with you?” Mike blurts, reddening.
Or:
Will and Mike join the Hawkins High swim team in their senior year, spend waaaay too much time at the pool together in teeny tiny Speedos and feelings grow deeper…
