    Summary

    It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.

    Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

    Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

    Summary

    He tried to think of something else—literally, anything else. Puppies. Nancy. His grandma. That weird version of the Mind Flayer they fought at Starcourt Mall that was just a goopy flesh monster made up of rats and bodies.

    It wasn't working. The image of Dream Will hovering over him—eyes glazed over, coming undone—was burned into his retinas, sitting at the top of his fucking Archive of Jerking Off Material with a bright orange sticker that read NEW RELEASE FT. YOUR BEST FRIEND LOOKING TOTALLY FUCKABLE.

    OR

    Mike Wheeler has been spending a lot of time in his dreams lately—more specifically, wet dreams about Will Byers—ever since he discovered he has the ability to become lucid in them. He is so totally normal about it and not spiraling out of control.
