Summary
"I live in your house, Mike," he said, crossing his arms defensively. "I thought you'd already have enough of me."
"I don't." Will jumped at Mike's voice, head whipping back around to face him. "Come on, Will! You talk to Holly more than you do me. You're always doing those— those ugly craft projects with her, and I didn't even know you liked crafts, and I didn't know you liked Holly more than me, either. I don't know anything about you."
Will blinked at him, mouth agape. "They're not ugly," he said, weakly.
"They are." Mike glared at Will harder. "See? I didn't know you lied now, either."
The Byers spend their first year with the Wheelers. Will learns how to handle Mike, and Mike learns how to handle change.

Summary
Will leans in, lips twisting into a smirk. “What’s your beef with Robin?” he asks, amused. He’s looking up at Mike through his lashes, his face dimly lit by the basement lamp.
“I…” Mike trails off.
Will quirks a brow. “Mike?”
Mike blinks rapidly. He shifts in his seat, awkward and obvious. “You two have been like… best friends.”

Summary
While talking to Will in the shed, trying to break through the Mind Flayer's control, Mike starts thinking about what he would do if Will gave up, and completely unintentionally blurts, "I love you." Mike's existential crisis follows. Meanwhile, Will uses the words as his anchor, holding onto this glimmer of hope with all his might as he struggles to hang on against the Mind Flayer.
Basically, a more Mike/Will-centric version of episodes 8 and 9 and the time beyond, with a good dose of of grit and Serious Stuff but also plenty of happiness and some fluff to come. (I mean, come on - Will is a gay kid in the 80s who just craves love and acceptance, and he deserves A Break. Mike is just realizing he's bisexual and he needs some love and acceptance and A Break too.)

Summary
The Christmas of ‘86 is drawing nigh.
With the Byers-Hopper family finally visiting Hawkins and the Upside-Down seemingly under wraps, it looks like for the first time since ‘82, it’s going to be a truly happy holiday. Now all Mike needs to do is wrap presents, host guests, and keep Will from finding out about his feelings.
If only he wasn’t so distracted by a sudden onslaught of headaches and ultra-realistic nightmares…
OR: Season four but CHRISTMAS and CREATIVE LIBERTIES!
