    Summary

    Will looked down at his own body and back up into Mike’s eyes, suggesting something that Mike wasn’t prepared to accept until he heard it directly from Will’s mouth.

    “What?” Mike mumbled, his eyes continuously dragging between Will’s eyes and body.

    “Touch me,” Will said with a confidence that made Mike’s stomach leap. “Touch me where I look… different.”

    Summary

    Mike’s no stranger to the supernatural and surreal. Few things frighten him anymore, but facing his complicated feelings and himself is particularly terrifying.

    When Mike Wheeler’s doppelgänger, Michael the Brave, tumbles out of another dimension and into Mike’s bedroom, he teaches Mike a little something about loving Will Byers—and himself.

    Or, simply: Mike takes the phrase “go fuck yourself” very, very seriously.

    Summary

    Will wishes he could take a mental snapshot of their life now and somehow send it back to his teenage self. Just to let him know that he's going to have this: their bed, and their shitty shoebox apartment, and Mike, who has a screwed up sleeping schedule, and who leaves his dirty clothes anywhere but the hamper, and who kisses the corner of Will's mouth when Will is doing the dishes, and who wants to do things with Will—the things that made Will so scared and miserable for wanting them at sixteen. Mike, who is completely naked, propped up on the elbows, and looking up at Will like he hung the moon.

    Will's twenty years of deep happiness and acceptance told through the series of firsts.

    Summary

    It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.

    Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

    Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.
