    Summary

    Set after season 4 ending before season 5 begins aka the 18-month gap (the Byers are living with the Wheelers).

    El's and Mike's relationship took a huge toll after what happened with Max hence the breakup. Feeling guilty, Mike goes down a destructive path and unexpectedly Andy-Jason's friend-takes an interest in Mike. Will just wants to make sure Mike is safe and his feelings stay hidden, but how long can he when he finds himself glued to Mike's hip once Holly is deemed to be in sudden danger. Dustin is drifting away, unable to cope with Eddies death, and Lucas is trying his best to keep the party together despite his own problems.

    Byler and Jancy parallels from season 1 and season 2 as well as the party being there for each other.

    Summary

    "It's not that bad.” He reassured. “Here, I'll start: I love ceramics, I'm married to someone in this school, and I painted the mural in the cafeteria.

    "That's easy!" A kid scoffed from the front, leaning forward. "It's the second one!"

    Behind him, the TA's shoulder shook with silent laughter. A grin spread across Will's face. "I hate ceramics."

    Or

    Will always plays two truths and a lie on the first day of school. It’s just tradition. It’s also tradition to have them guess who he’s married to by the end of the week for extra credit.

    Summary

    Immediately upon recognising Will, Mike drops to one knee with a tremendous force and bows his head down, low. After a few seconds he lifts his head slowly, eyes looking directly into Will’s.
    “William,” he says. “The Wise.”
    Will’s eyes dart from Mike to Nancy and back to Mike again, his bleary-eyed tiredness completely gone.
    “Wha…,” is all he can manage to muster up in response.
    Nancy nods sagely.
    “Sorry to do this to you, Will, but I needed to leave for work, like, thirty minutes ago, so please,” she clasps her hands together, her tone pleading, “deal with this?”

    Due to a 'clerical' error, Mike's DnD alter shows up at Will's doorstep, while the real Mike is nowhere to be found...

    Summary

    “I don’t think that it has to mean that you’re into guys,” Lucas says. His words are accompanied by a casual shrug, and said in the tone of someone who has clearly already given this subject some thought. Will doesn’t know what to do with that information. Jump from a building, maybe. “I mean, we’d all get flustered if Spider-Man carried us in his arms.”

    Mike points to him enthusiastically. “Thank you, Lucas.”

    Dustin looks between the two of them, his eyes narrowed.

    “...Would we?”

    “Sure,” Mike concludes. “He’s attractive. That’s not a weird thing to think.”

    Will just barely resists the urge to bang his head against the table. He feels Dustin’s eyes glued to his burning face, and sinks even further down his chair.

    In which Mike tells Spider-Man that he has a crush on his best friend, and Will jumps to some very wrong conclusions.

    Summary

    While sitting with Lucas, Mike decides to take a break from staring at his comatose friend. When journeying to get coffee, he interrupts an unlikely pair. (Rovickie kiss)

    Or: I “rewrite” s5 focusing on Byler’s POV, specifically Mike’s inner feelings. Mike and Will both get their self acceptance arc, just differently.
