    Summary

    “I hear you’re giving out love advice.”
    “That’s the show,” Will croaks.
    “Hm,” says Mike. “Well, maybe you can help me. There’s this person I—I’m interested in. A friend. A really good friend.”

    Or,

    When Will is forced to sub in as the host for Steve’s cheesy dating advice show on the Squawk, he receives some interesting calls.

    Summary

    Mike arrives home just in time to try to save his family… and pays the price.

    Summary

    In 1983, Mike Wheeler jumps off the Quarry and survives.

    In 1987, Mike is in the Upside Down, caught in the thrall of Vecna's torment, and he falls again, this time, without Eleven to catch him, and with his friends and family too late to save him.

    Will jumps after him, wraps him in his arms, and makes peace with his death if it means he dies with the boy he loves. The Quarry, barren of water in this realm, is just rocks and dirt, and as the floor rises up to crush them, the world goes black.

    They open their eyes in 1985.

    Summary

    “I love her like I love Lucas, or Dustin, or Max. Like a friend.”

    Will nodded slowly. “Like me.”

    “No,” Mike said before he could stop himself, “not like you.”

    --

    Holly gets taken by Vecna and Mike knows he has bigger problems than his unrequited feelings (or so he thinks) for Will Byers. That doesn't stop him from spilling his guts anyway and avoiding the ensuing conversation by diving headfirst into the mindscape to save his baby sister, and maybe find Max along the way. But Will isn't going to let him get away with a confession that easily. AKA Mike is clocked by more than one person in the midst of the apocalypse and figures he might as well go for broke.
