something happens (and i'm head over heels) by trolliworms
Will lets Mike kiss his frown away, clutching the front of Mike’s shirt. Will’s shirt, actually, but neither of them keep track anymore.
"Do I smell coffee–oh!”
At the sound of another voice, Mike straightens, backing up like he got burnt. Unfortunately, Will is holding him so tightly that the sudden movement causes him to pitch forward. Will falls off the counter, right into Mike, whose arms come around to catch him on instinct. They’re trapped in the awkward embrace for a moment by gravity, before Will gets his footing and shoves away.
He turns to see his brother, still in his pajamas and hair mussed, staring at the two of them with his mouth agape.
or
five times mike and will get caught kissing plus the one time they come clean to everyone

The Clarity of Catastrophe by bloodofgods
Mike Wheeler finds himself in a version of Hawkins where the Upside Down is not, and has never been, a problem. Now there's just the question of why everything still sucks, why everyone's acting like his existence is a miracle, and how he's supposed to get home.
Or: the Upside Down isn't the only alternate dimension out there. Somehow, it's not the worst one, either.

twilight time by forbunnywill
See you tomorrow.
Mike could never forget those three words—Will’s last words to him before... everything. That night, all he could think about as he fell asleep was seeing Will again. Call it codependent, but he always wanted to spend every spare minute with Will. He thought about how he and Will would see each other again at school the next day, sit next to each other in classes, eat lunch together in the cafeteria (with Lucas and Dustin), and then bike home together to Mike’s house so they could spend the afternoon together too.
But Mike didn’t see him that Monday. Or the next day. Or the day after that. And it was killing him.
El kept saying that he was alive. She was the only hope he currently had at finding Will.

good morning, daily mike nation by ilovemiwi
Will starts posting pictures of Mike. Twitter seems to like them a lot. You should know: Mike and Will are dating, but no one knows this yet.
or: a social media AU where Mike accidentally becomes everyone's favorite guy, and will spends far too much time defending his boyfriend in the replies.

Time Cast A Spell On You (But You Won't Forget Me) by MagicSchoolbusDropout08
Will is never found. But… well, he’s not alone. Because when Mike steps off the cliff, he’s gone into the Upside Down too.
Time is different in the Upside Down.
And it makes things very, very strange when, four years after Will and Mike disappeared and five years after the Upside Down became a recurring evil part of everyone’s lives, the Party finds those two boys on a crawl. And they’re still twelve years old.
