Summary
It was an accident. Really it was. Gun to her head that’s what she’d say. That’s her story and the details may be a little fuzzy and no one needs to know how she ended up at the end of his journal. But could someone really blame her? She had missed out on so much of their friend group dynamics after being in a coma for so long. Reading the last entry couldn’t really hurt anyone. It’s a victimless crime, she reasoned.
Or
Mad Max unlocked after she reads baby Will's journal. And Mike and Will are all the better for it, or maybe Chance and Will are all the better for it…

Summary
Ten years after Hawkins, Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have built a life that feels almost unreal in its normalcy.
Chicago apartment, quiet mornings, paint-stained hands, and unfinished manuscripts.
When they return to Hawkins for a school reunion, it’s meant to be brief, harmless.
Just a visit.Little did they know, something was waiting for them.
As Hawkins collapses under an unnamed horror, the infection moves closer—through strangers, friends, family.
Through them.This time, there’s no escape. No closing the gate. No victory.
Only time ... and each other.As the symptoms begin—quiet, certain, irreversible—Mike makes a promise that neither of them can keep, but will never break:
“And if we go crazy… well ... I guess we’ll do that together too.”- Language:

Summary
Two large, greenish-brown eyes stare at him in surprise, long eyelashes fluttering in confusion. Mike's first thought is to pluck each one out, one by one, and stick them on paper so he can measure their size with a ruler. He bets they're bigger than his. Maybe he should pluck some of his own too, for comparison.
"Oh," the boy's voice standing on the other side of the door is soft but slurred. He must have been drinking, Mike realizes. People become foolish when they drink. The smile threatening to tear his lips is cold and makes him think about how easy drunks are to deal with. And to contain. And to look at more closely. “I-I didn’t… uh, the upstairs bathroom was occupied and I…” Mike tilts his head slightly to the side to stare at the red stain on his clothes; judging by the smell, it’s wine. Mike doesn’t like wine, but he could pretend he does. He could pretend to be nice. He’s done it before, with outsiders. With people who aren’t his parents and useless sisters. “I thought I could clean myself up here.”Or
Mike is a psychotic sociopath and William is his little obsession.

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

Summary
“There’s really nothing about Hawkins that’s exciting you?” The teased tone underlined the older man’s words, a challenge that pulled a chuckle from Will
He took a moment, entering the field of memories his mind carried for an answer, something he possibly missed in his time gone. Trees that aren’t as green anymore, forests that he would got lost in so many times growing up, curly dark hair, freckles dusted over pale cheeks that tinted pink in the cold. Wills chest tightened, an ache between his ribs that sickened his stomach, bottom lip twitching as his gaze fell, his grip on his pants tightened, a heaviness that built up behind his eyes.
OR
Will comes back to Hawkins after 6 years and both him and Mike believe the other ended their friendship

Summary
"Hey, kid," said Murray, "I'm Murray Bauman."
"Nice to meet you," said Mike, "I'm, uh-"Murray smiled devilishly. "I know what you are, Mike Wheeler."
Mike's eyes widened. What was Murray talking about- Mike being depressed? Suicidal? Or maybe-"Okay, old man," said Spiderman, "We get it. You're the guru. Alright? Now leave him alone." he said exasperatedly.
Murray scoffed and left the room.
Mike turned to Spiderman. "Thanks, man."
"No problem, MJ."Mike gulped as a goofy smile adorned his face. MJ. Michael James. He liked the nickname.
"So....." Mike said, trying to make conversation, "When are you going to tell me who you are?"
"Never.""Just a hint?"
"I'm your gay awakening," said Spiderman sarcastically.Mike started spluttering violently. Sure, Spiderman was hot, but honestly? He preferred someone like.... Will Byers.
Yes. Will Byers was pretty.Mike managed to compose himself. "That's mighty of you. But my gay awakening was someone else."
"Awww, MJ, who'd you find hotter than me?"Mike blushed. "Don't tell anyone, but Will Byers."
In that moment, Spideman, AKA William Jacob Byers thinks he just died.

After a few fumbles and shuffles, Mike continued, seemingly out of breath. “A-Actually, I-I'm really fucking stoked to have you at school with me again… F-Fuck—I’m really, really excited to see you.”
"…You promise?" Will whispered into the receiver, his voice coming out small and thin. He bit his lip, waiting patiently because of course he would. He’d probably die waiting for Mike Wheeler.
“I promise, Will.” Mike breathed an endearing laugh, “J-Just keep talking for me, please—would you?”

Summary
There. That tangle of thick vines… she recognised it. That was right by where Steve had been attacked earlier. She moved quickly over to it, spotting the three dead bats clumped together, black blood spreading from their bodies.
If that was where Steve had been attacked, that meant that the gate was just a few feet behind her. Nancy whipped around, stepping blindly forwards, eyes raking over the ground ahead of her.
The gate was nowhere to be seen.
They were too late.
“Oh shit.”

When Vecna opens his gates by killing his victims in s4, they don’t stay open forever, trapping the older teens inside the upside down indefinitely.

Summary
After everything, Will Byers thought staying in Hawkins would make things easier. Familiar town, familiar people. But when his family moves to California without him and he’s left living with Dustin and his mom, nothing feels the same anymore.
Especially not Mike.
As freshman year begins, Mike Wheeler is suddenly someone else;popular, distant, and standing beside the same people who make Will feel like the “Zombie Boy”. What used to be easy between them turns complicated, messy, and harder to hold onto.
Then Finney Blake shows up. New in town, unafraid to speak up, and somehow the only person who really sees Will.
What starts as something simple quickly turns into something deeper;and a whole lot more complicated. Because the more Will starts to move on, the more Mike starts to care.
And what follows isn’t simple. It’s messy, emotional, and toxic in all the ways that make it impossible to look away; it’s a roller coaster of jealousy, hurt, and feelings that refuse to stay buried.
And by the time any of them realize what they really want…
it might already be too late. -

Summary
“Who’s the homo?” came Robin’s voice, affectionately, over his shoulder, as he stopped his scroll mid-record.
“Huh?” he cocked his head to look back at her, a disgusted grimace on his face.
“Half of those movies are gay as hell and the other half are horror movies so whose record are you looking at?”
“Eddie’s.”
“Oh, Eddie. Interesting.”
“You think Eddie’s gay?”
“I mean, yeah. Don’t you?”
“We don’t know that. Maybe his uncle is gay and he rents them for him?”
“Including the porn?”
Steve studied the list again, focusing in on the ratings column, identifying the culprits immediately. “Those could be straight porn.”
“Boys Who Beg sounds particularly straight to you?”
“I don’t know, I’ve been in some situations where I could see myself begging if things had gone differently.”
It’s Spring 2003 and Eddie Munson just survived the Upside Down. Now he has to make it to graduation in one piece without losing his heart.
Or, the one where Steve Harrington discovers some important new information about himself thanks to Eddie Munson's video rental history and is remarkably chill about it.

Summary
A year and some change after college graduation, Mike Wheeler is living in his parents' basement.
It isn't as pathetic as it sounds - he's also got a publishing deal, and he's putting the finishing touches on his debut novel.
It's even more pathetic than it sounds - he's got nobody left to hang out with in Hawkins except his ex-girlfriend and his sister's ex-boyfriend, and his best friend isn't returning his calls. The Wheeler house is a pressure cooker and he’s newly terrified that he might be identifiably bisexual. He's totally not spiraling. Everything's hunky dory.
Really, it's ideal timing. Will's due in Hawkins for Thanksgiving any day now, possibly with his beloved sack of hair gel, the ur-yuppie, Country Club Carlton. Mike definitely still knows how to exist in a room with him.
OR:
Mike goes through a late bi awakening, crashes out, comes out, grapples with Catholic guilt, and pines over a Will Byers who might no longer have a place in his life for him - not necessarily in that order.

Summary
He still remembers it like it was yesterday. All that blood. The sweet-sick tang of it. The way his feet froze in place and his hands shook as his eyes tried to convince his brain of what he was seeing. Then, Mike’s voice. Hoarse and strident as the syllables whistled between new teeth,
“Will. Something’s wrong.”
“Will. Your heart, it’s so loud. Why is it so loud?”
“Will. Stay back. Stay away from me.”
