    Summary

    Mike Wheeler was dead.

    This wasn't supposed to happen, it was an accident. It was late, and Mike had been driving for what felt like a short blip in his day— but it was dark, and thick fog coated the streets as he sped off into the night towards his shared home, to get to Will.

    He didn’t see the other car in time.
    The drunk driver didn’t see him.

    - Or -

    Mike dies in a car accident, and his fiancé, Will, finds out he can communicate with him in the afterlife (ghost!mike).

    Summary

    “I cannot allow you to do this for me.” William looks up into Michael’s onyx eyes. His nose is slightly red from the chill but his deep gaze remains wide and sincere.
    “Nonsense. I would follow you anywhere, William,” Michael says gently. William is sure his cheeks turn even pinker than they already were at that comment. “Please, allow me to accompany you on this journey.”
    William hesitates, unsure what to say.
    “Who knows, it could be fun?” Michael brings his right hand to William’s face, gently dragging a knuckle over his cheekbones as if he were a precious jewel, the other gripping the fabric of his aubergine cloak. “What do you say?”

    Summary

    The apocalypse came swiftly: a sweeping, contagious virus overtaking all major city centers within one long, horrific night.

    Eight years later, Mike Wheeler is one of the “lucky” survivors, living day-to-day in a military camp, days dragging and dull. A run-in with the infected leaves him both immune to the virus wrecking the planet and a target for those with an eye for science.

    Mysterious scientist William Byers, right-hand man to the famous virologist Henry Creel, arrives with a proposition: come with him to formulate the cure for this virus and use his immunity to end the apocalypse.

    Haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, the two men's lives become irrevocably entwined as they find themselves caught between the fate of humanity and their own selfish wants.

    Summary

    After years of unresolved feelings, Mike and Will finally have everything they ever wanted. They were officially in a romantic relationship.

    They’ve always been a package deal whose hips were practically sewn into each other, so why is Mike’s clinginess a problem now?

    ——-

    Or: an omegaverse Stranger Things season 3 rewrite without the ‘DL’ in Mike Wheeler and without the ‘suffering’ in Will Byers.

    Summary

    Stacey’s party invite can’t be ignored. Mike is pouting about it. Will wants to get white-girl-wasted. There’s a charge in the air. Who will make the first move?

    OR:

    What happens after lasagna?

    ------------

    Excerpt:
    “Jeez did you two have a fucking fight in the closet? That’s… so unbelievably far from what you’re supposed to do when playing seven minutes in heaven, guys,” Dustin says, exasperated, “it’s not supposed to be real, it’s a fantasy – you make out in the dark, leave it in the closet and move on.”

    Except there was no way Will could move on from what just happened.

    Seven minutes in heaven?

    Fuck that.

    More like seven minutes in hell.

    Confusion, confession, and what felt like an almost kiss?

    Actual torture.
