Summary
“It doesn’t matter if it takes a hundred more crawls,” Mike says, planting his hands against the table. “A thousand! We don’t stop until we’re goddamn sure that wrinkled, rotting, noseless bastard is dead and gone and never coming back.”
Will’s smiling, now, looking reassured. And Mike’s saying it for El’s sake, but also Will’s. Max’s. Eddie’s, too. Everyone who’s been hurt by this monster, who won’t be able to sleep at night with even the slimmest chance that he might still be out there.
He has to do something. And until there’s a better plan, or more information to go off of, this is the only option.
He puts his hand out above the table. “Everyone in?”
Lucas, looking determined, slaps his palm on top of Mike’s. Then Will. Then, when there’s only one of them left, they turn to look at Dustin.
Dustin’s mouth twitches to the side. His torn Hellfire shirt ripples in the late-autumn breeze. “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter,” he says. His voice is low, almost scarily detached. Like he has nothing left to lose. “Just wish I could do it myself.”

Summary
Jackson curled further into himself, eyes glued to his lap, and Will deflated some, forcing himself to calm down. Jackson didn’t want this. He didn’t want a scene. It was why Will had insisted he’d cover this, because he knew how much Mike hated dealing with asshole parents.
Maybe he should have let him take this one. Mike had practice dealing with this sort of thing, even if it was usually from the other side of the desk. Will had dealt with plenty of rude comments about how he was raising his son, sure, but it hadn’t given him thicker skin. It had worn away at him until he was sharp and angry, whirling around in supermarkets and snapping at the old ladies who’d mumble under their breath.
He was just- he was so tired. He was sick and tired of everybody else thinking they were entitled to saying this shit, just because he didn’t fit into some cookie cutter mold. He was tired of Jackson having to hear it, and Ceci. They shouldn’t have to.
Sometimes, Will wished he was normal, just so they could be too.
The circumstances through which Will became a father weren't conventional or ideal, but he would raze the Earth to the ground for his kids if he had to.
(Runs in the family.)

Summary
“I'm so glad to hear that, I feel like I put a lot of pressure on Jupiter with my health issues,” IO said with a sad tone and he sat back down on the hospital bed. It creaked with both of their weight on it. He grabbed the notepad with both of his hands looking down at the soft doodle. Moon hesitantly smiled.
———————
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the planets were humanoid! Breathless is a story based around the Gas-Giants attempting to live in a crazy household back to back with their moons. Jupiter has to deal with his four major moons and their differences. Breathless is based around IO and his found medical condition that might be quite problematic...
(Jupiter is seen as a FATHER FIGURE! Not their biological father! They aren't related at all! For more reasons I have to state, this ISNT canon. Some personality and some choices wont match up to the direct characters.)
!Breathless is a story about hardship and to show people they aren't alone going through different scenarios!

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.

The Apricity Of You: The Boy in the Tower by beebopbyers
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
22 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Looking over to the open windows of the tower, the view of nothing but crowded trees that hid the taunting glowing city from afar.. the place he truly belonged to, made him let out a low, menacing hum.
With a flick of his wrist, the dark slimy vines closed the window shut – the darkness enveloping them. Just a fleeting sight of light seeped through the cracks from above, falling down to the little boy's fluttering amber eyes.
Vecna – or Henry, slowly clasped his hands behind his back, staring down at him.
"You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together, William."
Yet somewhere beyond Vecna's reach, an oathless paladin unawarely moved through The March and searched something he could believe in – a devotion with no name - and it was going to collide paths with him, waiting for him in a tower that was built through shadows no spell could find..
For his fate was already bound to the blessed cleric that the world once thought they lost.

Summary
“Will? Will Byers?” The edge of a face comes into view as the car’s obnoxiously tinted windows get rolled down, all black hair and wide eyes and confused, furrowed brows.
Will, to his dismay, recognizes the face immediately.
“It’s Mike,” Mike Wheeler adds, rather unnecessarily. “From camp.”
From camp, as if Mike hadn’t–
“Hi,” Will says anyway, because being wet and soggy and stranded on the side of the road kind of limits his leeway for snark. He shifts in his soaking wet shoes, glances up at the thundering sky, and thinks about how much he hates his life. “Yeah. It’s me.”
Will's a good person, really. But apparently the universe thinks otherwise. Why else would it send him a broken down car, a dead phone, a thunderstorm, and Mike Wheeler (and Mike Wheeler's horrendous Tesla) all in the same afternoon?

Summary
“I thought you were going to propose to her." Dustin said after a long, uncomfortable silence. There was nothing left for Mike to vomit up, but he continued clutching the bucket tightly in his fingers as if it were what was keeping him breathing.
Lucas watched him.
His empty, distant eyes stared coldly at the porcelain tiles with indifferent wonder. This had been the case since long before last night.
"It was all bullshit." he says, his voice drawn out and trembling under the sound of each syllable.
☆
Will Byers got married on a Saturday, at the end of a sunny summer afternoon in the backyard of Harrington Mansion, in a simple family ceremony.
Mike Wheeler, the groomsmen, broke up with Jane Hopper the following morning.

But he doesn’t. He never lands. Will doesn’t say a thing.

Summary
"I'm telling you, this is the weirdest shit I've seen all year. And I think we can all agree shit has been pretty weird."
It's November 1987, and life in Hawkins still isn't quite back to normal. The "aftershocks of last year's earthquake" (an explanation Mike still can't believe anyone buys) are becoming more frequent, spitting nasty otherworldly surprises into town. But no one has been able to track down Vecna himself. Following a lead on a mysterious delivery to the old HNL building, the Party learns Will's connection to the Upside Down may not be as severed as they'd hoped. When Will subsequently begins to see through Vecna's eyes in dreams, the gang thinks they may finally have a way to find and defeat him once and for all. As Will throws himself into this task, hoping to assuage the guilt he still feels from his last stint as the spy, Mike must grapple with his own mounting feelings of helplessness. Mike had promised Will they would be a team—but what can he bring to the table right now? And can he even hold their team together when the stakes are higher than ever, and Will won't stop pushing him away?

Summary
“We are more similar than you realize, Will. Both of us were...sensitive children. We were different. Seen as freaks. But we are special. You are special.”
Will takes a shallow breath, tries to swallow his nerves. He speaks flatly. “And?”
Henry blinks, seemingly surprised by Will’s coldness. “I chose you that day, you know.”
And Will sees himself, small and alone, riding his bike through the darkness. He sees the silhouette of something tall and not-human. He sees himself crashing his bike. Running home. But the creature unlocks the door. It follows him into the shed. It gets him.
“It was you,” Will whispers, a hand coming up to the back of his neck. The monster that took him. The possession. The visions. “It’s always been you.”
(or the one where will’s connection to the upside down is a crucial part of season 4 instead of him getting sidelined, and how it changes everything)

Summary
The party decides to get drunk and Mike takes it too far. With tension between him and Will, awkwardness with Eleven, and a terrible secret, the night just keeps getting worse and worse for Mike until eventually, he can no longer take the truth.
---
Will's eyes grow wide and now he really looks like he's on the verge of a panic attack. "What do you mean? I kissed Amanda." Again he bites his lip and Mike's frustration grows.
Mike knows he should stop but there seems to be a disconnect between his mind and his mouth. "Stop lying Will. I don't even know any of your Californian friends. I don't even understand why you would lie about the name. Did you kiss a boy or something?" Mike rolls his eyes. It really was a ridiculous thing to lie about the name of the girl you kissed. Honestly, what was up with Will.
Will's expression breaks, but he turns before Mike can fully see it. Mike can however see the way his body is shaking.
"Are you cold?" Mike asks softly, taking a step forward. "Come back to the basement, I can get you my sweater."

Summary
Mike’s been waiting 737 days for this exact moment, always too intimately aware of every single second that’s passed him by since he disappeared. “You’re alive,” he tells him, stupid and reverent. This time, it seems to get through to Will. He watches the hard exterior recede, exposing the gentle warmth that Mike has always admired
“I’m alive,” Will repeats. “I’m alive.” He lets out a hysterical giggle and suddenly he’s the one falling into Mike, limbs tangling and hands clutching at each other until he can’t tell where one of them ends and the other begins. “And you’re here. You came for me.”
Will’s fingers dig into his forearms. Mike swallows the instinctive I would always come for you on the tip of his tongue.
OR: Even after watching Will get trapped in the Upside Down for good, Mike never stopped believing he was alive. After stumbling upon a gate two years later, he takes a chance and learns to finally follow his heart.

Summary
Mike breathes out sharply, sinking to his knees in front of Will without conscious thought. Every bone in his body is turning to jelly, because Will is here, but he's also- not. His form is made up of the same dusty gold that fills the air around him, flaking off him and dancing around. Mike wants to reach out and catch the light in his palm. Will looks not entirely solid, like this is some poor imitation of him rendered in light particles, like his physical form is somewhere else, and for a horrible moment Mike thinks that Will is a ghost after all. That this is an illusion, brought about by Mike's hopeless yearning. If it weren't for the pebbles digging sharply into his legs as he knees on the ground and the crisp chill of the spring air on his face, Mike would be sure he was dreaming, but he doesn't think he could dream up something so simultaneously as magical and horrifying as the specter of his maybe-dead friend hovering before him.
"Will," he whispers, reaching out until his fingers are centimeters from Will's arm, and Will's eyes fly open.
on march 29th, 1986, will byers vanishes for a second time. 366 days later, he reappears.

Summary
“Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”
“No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.
Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”
“So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”
“I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”
Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.
