mikewheelerisbadatfeelings TM. i mean so clueless it's so fucking hilarious. lucas lowk coming in clutch tho. mike wanting to patch things up with will so his obvious course of action is to drag him on long night drives to the middle of nowhere.

mike wants to be a good friend to will and what better way to do that than to find him a boyfriend. yeah.
5. i might be hoping about this - astrobi

💗 oh. my. god. my FAVEEE. yk the whole hc with s1 mike absolutely crashing out at s5 mike? yeah look no further. i wanna give little mike a hug omg and his bonding w older will is so amazing i love this one so so so much. plus 12yo mike has the funniest one liners ever. OH and little mike finds out about "inmfydlg" so... *evil laugh*
11. secret letters - nohzdyves
they're whipped and pathetic and secretly dating in the epilogue what can i say it's not technically uncanon :,) might be my fav fluff fic tbh. LOVED mikes spontaneous word vomit yapyapyap ramble bit. also he keeps reciting poetry for some reason but it's the funniest thing ever. oh and mike+eyeliner=will flatlines
12. we all have hunger (tell me what you need) - papenathy

mike overhears will telling jonathan about his crush and tries to comfort will ab it but he's an idiot so doesn't realise it's him obv
14. touch like velvet - ciders
💗 UGH another favourite the writing is phenomenal out of this world 10/10 chefs kiss. au where will meets mike for the first time. kind of ooc mike. also elmax double date. also mike has been through some shit. very long but definitely worth the read it's soooooo delicious. also fuck lonnie byers
15. to hell and back again - perexcri
mike follows will when he gets sucked into the ud cos like i said he's an idiot and whipped for will byers. also he won't stop being annoying and keeps pestering will ab the painting when they’re literally about to die. like the author said basically a mike n will upside down romcom spectacular

17. let our walls cave in - andiwriteordie
