Summary
“Yeah, no- I get it- I don't need anything… I- It just feels way too soon, you know?” He was stumbling all over himself to try and save the situation, backtracking a little too far that it hurts.
“Mhm.” Will finds himself humming in agreement, too stunned to do anything else as he stares at the man – how his fingers twitch in the air before balling up into fists, his whole body turning to look at him again.
He wonders if it would be the right thing to do, if it really is okay to move on with his life when he knows his sister would always be stuck in one place? It's dumb, stupid to think about, he knows that, but— Will always led his life with an infuriating strong empathy, even though he was not given an ounce of that for all that he had gone through. He couldn't help but think about her, Eleven- Jane, his sister. What she would say if she saw him.
Or: Will and Mike after the epilogue, showcasing what really happened after everything; how they struggle with the feelings of guilt and shame that come with the memory of Eleven.
Also, Will gets a boyfriend— nobody knows how to deal with it.
Nobody being everything. Everything being Mike fucking Wheeler.

Summary
Years after the war, Harry Potter works as a respected Auror at the Ministry of Magic, while Draco Malfoy has rebuilt his life as a sharp, quietly successful magical researcher specializing in cursed artifacts. They still carry the echoes of their rivalry from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, their conversations edged with sarcasm, their mutual distrust slow to fade. But when a series of dangerous relics begins appearing on the black market, their work forces them into repeated collaboration. Irritation turns into reluctant respect, long silences become strangely comfortable, and somewhere between late-night research and shared danger, they realize that the line between old enemies and something much deeper has blurred.

Summary
Behind the closed door of his room, Mike reaches into his bedside table and pulls out a thick envelope while Will grabs the rolled up parchment he stashed in the corner of the room when they first got to his house.
They turn towards each other, hiding their gifts behind their backs, grinning at each other like they’re the only thing that is tying them down to this plane of existence.
“You go first,” Mike says, nudging his shoulder towards him. -

Summary
Mike Wheeler wishes he could be anywhere else, anywhere other than the loud mall with the sticky floors and the obnoxious shoppers. Mike was sitting in the back room, back against the wall, trying to get his breathing under control.
Max Mayfield thought she hated Mike Wheeler, but in the two weeks they’d been working together she’d found that they were more alike than she thought. She found that maybe she didn't mind his company as much as she thought.
Dustin Henderson was very disappointed, he’d just gotten home from camp and none of his friends had come to greet him or answered their walkies.
Or Max and Mike's boring summer working at Scoops Ahoy gets a lot more interesting when Dustin uncovers a secret Russian code. Featuring internalised homophobia, self-hate and a much deserved hug.

Summary
Will felt every nerve ending beginning to explode and burn, his hearing and vision becoming muddled with the pleasure taking over his body.
He shook his head out of Mike’s grasp, attempting in vain to distract his desire, and held back a moan to say, “Mike, I need to stop, I can't."
Mike pulled his face almost directly against his own, looking at Will with a commanding stare.
“Will, you need to give up pretending like this isn't exactly what you want,” Mike said in a firm, deep voice that made Will shudder in response.

Summary
Freshman year came and went, quiet and disappointing. They barely saw each other, despite being minutes apart. Will’s an Art Education major. Mike’s in Nuclear Engineering. Different buildings, different schedules, different lives. Mike tried. He called. He reached out.
"I can’t, Mike. Maybe a different day."
"I promised I’d study with a friend."
"Not tonight. I’m sorry."
Every excuse landed heavier than the last. And slowly, so slowly he didn’t notice until it was already too late, the progress he’d made began to erode. The hopelessness crept back in, familiar and cruel, dragging him backward. He didn’t make friends. Not real ones. His roommate was unbearable. His classes felt endless. Each day blurred, dull and colorless. So when the year finally ended and they decided to live together, Mike didn’t hesitate. He’d latched onto the idea like a lifeline. Just him and Will. No dorms. No distance. Mike and Will, like it used to be. Against the world.

Summary
“Where is everyone?” That voice. Noah felt a shiver run up his body.
No.
“They paired up.” Noah scoffed, turning to where Alejandro stood, not knowing where he had went before reappearing.
Alejandro seemed to sigh and mutter something under his breath. “And there is no one else around?”
“You think I want this?” Noah scoffed and turned back to the door. “I'm leaving-.” A step away from the door he felt someone grab his wrist. Noah felt himself jump, surprised by the touch. How the fuck was Alejandro so quiet?
“What?” Noah sneered as he turned back, now face to face with the taller man.
“Couple with me,” Alejandro said, loud enough for any nearby cameras to pick up on. Not a question. A statement.—
TLDR; Chris makes a reality show. Noah & Alejandro have to pair up to stay in the game.

Possessed Will Byers and protective Mike Wheeler! Season 2 rewrite
"The doctor was weirdly unfazed by this, Mike rubbed his eyes, it was already 7:00, which in the Wheeler house was quite time so Mr. Wheeler could watch tv. Will was still unconscious, but something inside him kept twitching.
Mike didn't like that twitching, he had an aching feeling in his bones, that wasn't Will, Will didn't have the power to do something like that. Will was weak, and Mike missed that Will, weak Will."

Summary
What Mike had said was true. The Knight and the Zoomer's love did grow stronger with each passing day. The Bard did deeply devote himself to his studies. Will the Wise did eventually find where he belonged. And the Storyteller did continue to tell stories. It was true, yet Mike had not been completely right. Instead of splitting ways, finding their own way in the next chapter of their own lives, the party stuck together. This summer, the summer of 89, they were camp counselors.

Summary
When Will came out, he was relieved to be accepted by the people closest to him, especially Mike, and especially after Will made it clear to Mike that he was his crush. It was just a silly, stupid crush that really wasn’t about Mike at all. The best part is, Will got over it quickly, and they were able to laugh it off and remain friends. Things have been solid since he let those feelings go. That dumb high school bullshit is in the past. Their friendship is far too important to dwell on a crush that is doomed to be unreciprocated.
Imagine Will’s surprise when he catches Mike in a Chicago gay bar making out with another man.
Turns out, Mike is gay. So, what now? What is he supposed to do with this information? More importantly, what does that mean for them?
Friends? No thanks.
Best friends.
