    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.

    Or: The one where Mike is gay and Will is in the Friend Zone the whole time as he helps Mike along his self-acceptance journey.

    Summary

    Mike is expecting somewhat of a reaction. A look of disbelief. A laugh at the very least. Instead, not-Mike just shrugs. Everyone looks at him as if he just announced that the grass is green.

    "And?" says Wyllan when the silence stretches, as if he's not sure if Mike's dramatic pause is going to lead somewhere by itself. Mike chews on his lip.

    "I don't know?" he says. "I guess now my brain is hallucinating before shutting off?"

    Wyllan arches a brow. His next words, however, are not unkind.

    "Was it your first time?"

    "First time for what?"

    "Dying."

    Mike wakes up in a forest that shouldn't exist, surrounded by almost familiar faces and a version of himself he doesn't recognise. He's pretty sure he's dead. The others have a solution for that.

    Summary

    Now, someone walked into the room. A boy, awkwardly standing at the side of his bed, looking over him worriedly. His hair was brown and scruffy, and he had big baby doe eyes and a yellow-and-blue horizontally-striped shirt like a cartoon character. The window was lighting him up like he was important to Mike’s narrative. The curtains are blue, thought Mike, this boy is light. I love metaphors. Maybe he was high on the pain meds. Upon seeing him, Mike felt a great affection, a great peace. Plus, he had long eyelashes. Mike almost giggled to himself. He was definitely a little high.

    “Hi.” breathed Mike.

    “Hi.” he said, hesitating.

    “We’re friends?” Mike asked hopefully.

    Or: During the Party's final battle with Vecna, Mike is gravely injured and loses his memories. He wakes up in a hospital only remembering a handful of inconsequential little things, like how much he loves a boy who seems like light.

    Summary

    Maybe Will decides that enough is enough, and lets Mike go. Maybe whatever persists between them dies slowly of benign neglect, until all that remains is shared trauma and dead memories that don’t mean what they once did. Or maybe he just never hears Mike’s voice again. He shudders.

    But what if it's not too late?

    Too late for what?

    What do you do when the world fails to end? If you’re Will Byers, you build a life. If you’re Mike Wheeler, you build a tomb.

    It’s been a decade since El disappeared, Mike is still trapped in his own head, and no one knows how to talk about it. Then, Mike does something impulsive, and sets in motion a chain of events that will cause Will to question everything he believes - including about himself.

    Or: A story about grief, love, fate, freedom, and the things that hide in the dark (and maybe the light, too). This starts slow, but bear with me; I promise it doesn't go where you're expecting!

    u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnD

    u/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]

    Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.
