Summary
Mike looks up, eyes wide. His ears turn a brilliant shade of red. “Oh. I was, um– I was talking to…” Mike takes a long pause, then screws his eyes shut and tips his head back. He lets out a mumbled string of words that Will doesn’t catch.
“Huh?”
“I said,” Mike says, speaking louder and opening his eyes, “hisnameisWill.”
For a long, long moment, it’s completely silent. The bunny’s nose twitches. Will stares at Mike, uncomprehending, and Mike stares back at him, his jaw clenched. Somewhere outside, the wail of an ambulance nears and then fades.
“Um…” Now it’s Will’s turn to trail off. He has no idea how to respond to that. He has no idea how to even process that. “You named your rabbit… Will?”
Or: the appropriate response to discovering that your estranged childhood best friend named his depression pet after you.

Summary
"He's… a Paladin. A real-life, honest-to-god, Paladin!" With his smile widening, Will cocks his head to the side. "Do you know what a Paladin is?"
Does he? Does Mike Wheeler know what a Paladin is? Guess we'll never know. His Sorcerer never gives him the chance to respond.
OR: Through the power of anesthesia (and one hell of a lot of Star Wars references), Mike Wheeler learns just how deeply Will Byers's love for him runs. And maybe, just maybe, he'll finally start to believe that he's just as worthy of love as Will is.

Summary
In the van, Mike said it was just dumb luck that Superman landed on his doorstep when he met El. It was ironic, really, because that was how Will felt about the day he met Mike. He was the miraculous, unexpected arrival. He was the boy who sat down beside Will on the swings and made the whole world tilt toward him, bright and possible. They pumped their legs so hard that day, Will was convinced they were going to take off and fly together. Mike had always made him feel like he could do anything. Anything.
Part 5 of 5 follows Will Byers (Vol. 1) and Mike Wheeler (Vol. 2) through one last summer in Hawkins. With Vecna still missing, Max still in a coma, and the town sealed under lockdown, the party prepares for a final fight. As Will begins to understand the truth of his connection to the Upside Down, Mike is forced to confront a truth of his own. Friends don’t lie, but some truths are harder to tell than others.
DISCLAIMER: This work can be read as a standalone story for those who watched Seasons 1-4 of the show.

Summary
“There's my Mike.”
“I wasn't your Mike before?”
“Well.” Will brushes a thumb up and down his cheek as he holds him. “This is what he usually looks like.”
“How do I look?”
“Tired.” Will's face gains color, pink and flourishing. “Beautiful.”
( Graduation day reminds Mike that the normalcy he has always craved is still scary, still uncertain. It is less scary with Will. The post-lasagna fic. )
