Summary
"He's way too young for you," Mike muttered, whipping his head away from Robin and tucking his knees up to his chin. For some reason, he thought this conversation might go a lot worse for him if he looked her in the eye. "And you took him into the woods— where he got taken, I mean, I don't even—" and he shook his head, frowning deeper. "You went against his mom's orders! Can you not even respect his parents?"
A choked noise snapped Mike back to reality. "You— what?" Robin blinked at him, her mouth hanging slack. "I respect Joyce Byers. Very much."
With Will unconscious, Mike and Robin find time for a tense chat.

Summary
Ringed fingers emerged first, scratched as though with thorns. And, in the deadly half-quiet of the Upside Down, he heard some grunting, like someone was trying to work against gravity.
Then black curly hair, and Dustin screamed a blood-curdling scream, and raised the shovel, getting to his knees, and then to his feet.
But he locked eyes with brown ones he knew, oh very well indeed.
****
Post Volume 2 S4, but the Upside Down does NOT come to Hawkins. A few months later, and the gang are all trying to live their lives as best they can. Until Eddie returns, escapes from the Upside Down...
Escapes, or was set loose?

Summary
Erica butt in, clearly annoyed by Joyce’s slow pacing, “Will did some creepy ass shit with his mind to kill all the demogorgons and now he’s passed out.”
“Erica language!” Joyce chided.
The rest of them stared at Erica dumbfoundedly, even Mike, who had seen it happen was confused by her simplicity of it. What Will had done was heroic, he had saved Mike’s life for Christ’s Sake!
“Wait, wait, wait, wait.” Lucas managed, “Start from the beginning. What happened?”
or
My ideas on what happens after that cliffhanger in s5e4. this will be canon compliant until volume 2 comes out. it also will be byler centric but also have plot because I want a chance to experiment with these characters and see what happens

Summary
In light of recent circumstances, Will should have expected to end up where he did. There was a reason he'd been stolen away. And there was a reason his sister had seen him in the mindscape.
He just wasn't expecting to find out this way.
Through his torturer himself.

Summary
"It's alright. Thank you. I mean-" Will ducks his head coyly. "I appreciate the ego boost."
"Yeah, yeah. You scared me there for a sec! Sometimes, I swear I never know what you're thinking. I wish I could hack into some kind of hive mind and poke around the inside of your brain." Mike nudges Will's elbow with his own.
Oh, God. That's the last thing Mike wants. Unless...
The brush of a knee, a bump of the elbow, a shared look.
Will shrugs. "I guess I'm just full of secrets."
Or:
The one where everything is literally crashing and burning, and Will Byers is also pretty terrible at flirting (but Mike Wheeler might just be worse).

Summary
But he thought he was okay. After almost losing both his parents, after losing his sister, after everything that happened, he didn’t feel anything; he was too focused on the mission ahead, on protecting Will and Ms. Byers and Lucas and Erica and Robin and all those kids that he didn’t stop and sit down to think. And, yeah, he thought he was okay because he didn’t need to think about it; once his sister was home safe, and his parents got better, everything would be okay, and he wouldn’t have to think about it.
(After the events of s5 ep4, Mike's totally one hundred-percent fine! Why are you asking?)

Summary
A prediction of season 5 volume 1. Byler centric. Accurate to pretty much everything we know (I hope).
This isn't half of what I think will happen and maybe I'll update this in the future but it's really important to me that I publish this before season 5 releases.
Have fun and please support small writers<3
