Mike Wheeler's Guide to Not Getting The Guy by the_heliades

Summary
‘You better,’ Max says, ‘any man who puts up with a two hour long—’ ‘It was twenty minutes!’ ‘—panic attack in a bathroom, talks you down from it and still gives you his number over two years later deserves at least a call back.’
Mike shrugs. ‘Maybe?’
‘But,’ Will’s weak, thready voice breaks through the chatter of their friends, ‘you don’t date guys.’
‘Oh shit,’ Dustin says, but it’s like Mike is hearing him underwater as he looks at Will.
Mike is confused, he can hear the blood rushing in his ears as he blurts out, ‘Will, we dated for, like, a month and a half.’
----
Didn't know they were dating fic where Mike dates Will Byers, is gently let down and broken up with by Will Byers, and tries to move on from Will Byers. Will thinks that Mike's just finally letting himself be happy in New York City.(Mike Wheeler, in fact, does get the guy. Eventually.)

Summary
“Hey! Mayfield!”
He glanced over his shoulder and felt his stomach drop. Chance and Andy were coming up behind them, coasting on their bikes. Both were still wearing their varsity jackets even though they’d graduated and it was hot as hell outside.
Will had a split second to register how stupid they looked before his pulse started to race. This wasn’t going to be good, and to top it off, he was holding the world's most homosexual ice cream cone.
A quick trip to the Wheeler house turns into a mess when Chance and Andy won’t leave Max and Will alone. It goes about as well as you’d expect.

Summary
There stood Mike, frozen like a statue. In front of him, Will was bent over, digging through the fruit drawer of the refrigerator. After a moment, Will straightened up with a ripe peach in hand. Ted watched his son continue staring at the exact spot Will’s backside had just occupied, wearing an expression of pure, hopeless longing.
Ted considered quietly backing out of the room.
"For God's sake, Michael," He said, instead. "Either take something out or close the door. I'm not paying to refrigerate the whole neighborhood."
Will turned around, blinking in mild confusion.
Mike’s face bloomed bright red. The blush was quickly overtaken by a scowl. He slammed the refrigerator door hard enough to rattle every magnet on it. “I was getting something! Sorry it took more than two seconds-"
“When exactly did your mother start storing the snacks in the back pockets of Will’s jeans?”
“Oh my God.” Mike spun on his heel and stormed toward the stairs. “You are so-" The rest was lost to thundering footsteps and the inevitable slam of his bedroom door.
Or, Ted realizes sometimes you need to be locked in the closet before coming out of it.

Summary
The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.
It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.

After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.

Summary
He thinks about Robin, and about what she said about coming out to Steve. How free she’d felt. Will hasn’t felt free since 1983. Maybe not ever, now that he’s thinking about it. This weight has been pressing down on him forever and he’s barely shouldering it lately. And now, on top of that, Henry is using it as a weapon; a foot on his neck, ready to suffocate him if he doesn’t submit to him.
Will might not be able to free himself from Vecna and his schemes, but there’s one thing Will can do to take some of the power away from him. Henry has taken everything from him - he won’t let him take this.
A fix-it-fic for Will's coming out scene, because he deserved so much better
