    Summary

    In the midst of the frantic, rhythmic motion, a small shift in the air, pulled Will from the blinding focus of sensation. His head lolled back against the pillows, his eyes, hazy and dilated, snapping open.

    That’s when he saw her. Vanessa. Standing in the sliver of the doorway.

    He didn't gasp. He didn't stop Mike, didn't even slow the relentless, punishing rhythm. There was no room for surprise, not now, not after all this time. He just stared at her with the quiet, triumphant knowledge that had settled deep within him years ago. It was a look of profound, quiet acknowledgement—a confirmation of the ending he had always known was their inevitable destination.

    In that gaze, Will was telling her that her story with Mike was over, that he had merely held the place for him until the time was right.

    The problem with Mike Wheeler was not that he didn't know how to exist in halves, but that he refused to let Will Byers exist without him. In 1991, Will Byers is an art student at NYU, living for the 10:00 PM calls and the thick, ink-stained manuscripts Mike sends from Bloomington. He has resigned himself to being the moon to Mike’s sun.

    Summary

    Mike leaves Hawkins on a quest to escape his writing slump and meet new inspiration. What better place to do so than New York? Surely it has nothing to due with the fact that will byers is there, right?

    in other words

    Mike is Homotron 3000 and not even the so-called "canon" ending will convince me otherwise.

    Summary

    “Come on,” Will tries. Mike keeps his head looking away across the street. Staring right at the Sinclair’s house. His jaw clenches at the sight, even though he sees the house everyday. “Mike, I know you, and you—”

    “You don’t know me,” Mike spits. Instinct makes him want to glare at Will, but that means looking at him. “And I have nothing to say to you.”

    He stands up. It’s only then that Will does the same.

    “Look, Mike, I’m sorry,” Will blurts out. It makes Mike’s heart skip a beat in his chest before his heart remembers that it has no business doing that over Will Byers.

    Or,

    April 1993 in Hawkins means that Mike has to confront a lot more than just the death of Ted Wheeler.
