Summary
At the far edge of the cemetery, beneath a maple shedding red leaves like old blood, the earth above William Byers shifted.
Six feet below, inside a coffin lined in white satin, Will Byers lay with his hands folded over his stomach.
No worms.
No rot.
No sunken cheeks or ruined skin.
The dress Joyce had chosen with shaking hands, the dress he had asked for before the end, covered him in layers of white. Long sleeves. A fitted bodice. A skirt that pooled around his legs like fog. Gothic and delicate, almost bridal, except no one had come to a church for him.
Only a hole in the ground.
Only rain.
Only Mike Wheeler carrying him until his knees gave out.
Will’s chest rose.
The sound did not belong in a coffin.OR- what happens when Will Byers powers resurrect him on the anniversary of being killed by vecna? what happens when the first person he goes to after waking is Mike Wheeler?

Summary
It started the night that Will went missing, which was part of the reason that he generally hadn’t bothered to do anything about it until now. It was hard to worry about the small flower petals that came out when he coughed or the tickle in his throat that he had to swallow back because while he was keeping flowers down, Hopper was explaining that Will went missing overnight and they had to tell him everything they knew. The flowers were the least of his concerns.
or: Mike has had Hanahaki disease since Will went missing

Summary
"Remember summer in 88 when they tore down the last of the lab and we all stood way too close to the fence and watched? And the crane guy asked one of the soldiers what the lab did and they just lied and said it was nuclear energy? That's when I knew that going back to normal was going to be way worse than leaving some things open."
Mike Wheeler makes a decision in the winter of 1990.

The Will Byers Rules and Regulations Handbook: For Lovers by spamtopia
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Will's rules came from a history of mistreatment. When he had gotten to college, he decided that was no longer going to be his life. He was no longer going to let people walk over him or dictate what his image was. That was his job. He had taken the power back, cultivating an image of perfection. Creating a life around his own pleasure, what he wanted to do without taking into consideration what other people felt about it like he had done his entire childhood.
Or, Will Byers is a college primadonna. With a roster of rotating men to please him and buy him anything he wants, he has no room in his life for someone who brings nothing to the table. Mike Wheeler brings nothing to the table.
Will still makes room in his life for him.

Summary
Mike had the look on his face that made Will want to grab him by the shoulders and say what are you thinking, what are you always thinking, just tell me, please, I'm so tired.
Will watched his eyes move across the words;
We will love each other forever.
We will NEVER leave.
We will be the Best Husbands Ever."We did a blood oath. We said we'd do it when we turned eighteen. We're eighteen."
"You can't be serious."
"It's the rules, Will."
They were standing in the ruins of the place where they'd pressed their bleeding fingers together and sworn to be the best husbands ever, and Mike was holding their wedding vows against his chest and asking Will to get in a van with him and drive across the country and pretend to be married for two weeks.
For a second they were eight again, and Mike was saying we'd never have to go home because we'd already be home.
"Okay. Okay, fine. Let's do it."
