Summary
“Hello.” Says Will, because it feels weird not to. “Where is this place?”
The man quirks an eyebrow and stands - fully facing him. And now Will can see letters on his t-shirt.Hellfire Club.
His eyes widen with realization. The man – Eddie – smirks, and suddenly all the blankness in his face is gone. His eyes have a glint to them – something that makes him look like he’s just on this side of psychopathic. Or crazy. Whatever. They’re the same thing.
“What the shit?” breathes Will.
“What the shit.” Agrees Eddie. -

Summary
011’s heart pulsed in her chest, thick and heavy. It ached with every beat, the feeling of it heavy against her ribs. Her outreached hand brushed the face smiling up at her from the photo.
“You know Will?” Mike gasped, “Did you see him? Last night on the road?”
011 knew him, but not as Will. She knew him as the boy with a gentle voice. The boy with the courage to fight a monster. The boy who saved her.
She knew him as the boy she had killed.
or
(After escaping Hawkins Lab, Eleven spends one fateful night tucked into a sleeping bag found in the Byer’s shed. When Will finds her at his house on November 6, 1983, their lives are altered irrevocably. A little bit more than a retelling of Stranger Things, taking place in the moments between scenes and seasons, with a focus of this new dynamic between Will and Eleven.)

Summary
“And us?” Will challenges. He looks Mike directly in the eye, nearly taking Mike’s breath away once again. Mike’s heart races inside his chest.
“We’re friends,” Mike says defensively. The implications of Will’s words aren’t lost on him, so for good measure, Mike emphasizes, “We’re friends, Will.”
“Yeah well, we used to be best friends, Mike!” Will shouts, and his voice cracks again.
Or:
In the aftermath of the Battle of Starcourt, Owens immediately sends the Byers and El away from Hawkins with specific instructions to not contact anyone until things have cooled down. Now, nearly two years later, Mike finds himself in California for what will either be the best—or the worst—spring break of his life.

Summary
A distant gaze forms on Nancy’s face, and she turns to look at Mike with those watery, haunted eyes. There’s something about the look in Nancy’s eyes that is so eerily familiar, and Mike shudders as his brain makes the connection as to what.
“And he’s not going to stop, Mike. Not until… until he’s taken everything… and everyone.”
“You… you don’t understand,” Nancy whispers, her voice cracking. Never once do her eyes leave Mike’s, even as they fill with fresh tears. “It’s already begun… The… the beginning of the end.”
Or:
In the direct aftermath of his return to Hawkins, Mike and the Party find themselves in the midst of a war against One and the forces of the Upside Down. As life as he knows it changes, Mike must find a way to navigate his friendships, his relationship with Will, and most importantly, his understanding of himself.

Summary
Christmas, 1986.
More than half the town of Hawkins evacuated when the first earthquake hit in the spring. For those that stayed, life is carrying on as normal. Or as close to normal as it can get. Sometimes lights flicker, you get used to it.
Then Max Mayfield wakes up from her eight month long coma and it's hard to pretend things are ever going to be the way they used to.

“You’re, like, two hours early, dude,” Will says.
“I thought I was late,” a voice that is definitely not Steve’s replies.
Will gulps and drags his eyes up the long form that is Mike Wheeler.
His eyes catch on ratty converse. Ripped jeans. A Black Sabbath t-shirt. Mike is practically swimming in the black leather jacket hanging from his frame. His long hair is unkempt and he’s smirking at Will.
“I thought you were Steve,” Will says when he collects himself.
“Nope,” Mike replies. “Cooler than him.” He shifts on the balls of his feet, shoving his hands into his pockets. Quietly he asks, “I’m still invited to this right?”
Will chuckles, a light sound. “Yeah. Of course you are.”

Summary
“You’re not boning, though, right?” he says, suddenly. He doesn’t know why he feels such an urge to bring it up again, as if the thought of Mike boning is not something that is CODE RED #1 at the top of Will's list of things to absolutely never think about. But also. Look–
“What? No, of course I’m not boning,” Mike splutters, turning a violent shade of scarlet, “how would I even hide that from you, I’m with you all the time–”
And then he falls silent, so fast that Will gets tonal whiplash from how fast Mike just went from saying boning over and over again to just clamping his mouth shut and staring at the wall across from them.
Will's trying his hardest to make it through fall semester in one piece. Unfortunately for his degree, he's being haunted by maybe-feelings for his best friend (metaphorically), and also a maybe-ghost with rather abysmal fashion sense (literally).
