Summary
They’ve been doing this for long enough now; this sort of free use friends with benefits thing that they never speak about.
There’s something sort of addictive about it, for Will. Something that helps to numb the jealousy he feels about Mike dating Jane, because it’s Will he’s fucking on the down-low, and it’s halfway toward everything Will has ever wanted.
Or: Will Byers is no angel. So when he and Mike start this thing between them even though Mike is dating Jane, Will is helpless to do anything but let it happen.
But it’s not cheating if they’re best friends, right? Right??????

Summary
Will Byers doesn’t consider himself brave. He considers himself a HD student with a low tolerance for vodka and a talent for leaving early. But bravery, it turns out, isn’t always loud. Sometimes it's handed out like permission slips at crowded college parties: permission to drink too much vodka, to flirt badly, and take a hit from someone else’s cola flavoured vape.
Or; College AU, Will "Ivy League" Byers/Mike "Teenage Dirtbag" Wheeler

Summary
“Hey, Mike?” Will asked. “Why now?”
Mike was silent for a long time, so long Will thought he wasn’t going to answer at all. “I just… I don’t know. How can I move on if I don’t know for sure? I can’t stop thinking that if she is out there, if I was right, and I don’t even try to find her, then maybe I really didn’t deserve her.”
A year after graduation, Mike decides to start a search for El and asks Will to come with him. Their friendship hasn't been the same since Will came out and Eleven disappeared, so Will agrees, kicking off a complicated journey that brings them back together. Will is in college, trying to move on, and Mike is idling in Hawkins, torn between his past with El and his confusing feelings for Will. As the search brings them closer than either ever imagined, Will and Mike grapple with first loves, moving on, and growing up together.
