Summary
"Is this..I mean, is that necessary?" Will asks, wiping the palms of his hands on his jeans. "What kind of trouble is El in, exactly?"
Mike pauses in his packing, his face all pinched up the way it gets when he's confused. "El? What are you talking about?"
"Lucas said--"
Mike waves his hand impatiently, resuming his hurried packing. "I lied. I didn't find El." Will feels like the bottom of his stomach has dropped out. "I found her." He says, and revulsion paints every feature on his face. "Dr. Kay."
Will is hit by a wave of dizziness so strong that it almost knocks him off his feet. "So what...you think, you can get El's whereabouts out of her?"
Mike shakes his head. "No, El is dead. I've known that for a long time now." He slings the bag over his shoulder.
"Mike, this isn't..don't do this. This isn't going to give you the closure that you think it is." Will pleads, grasping his arm desperately.
Mike smiles at him, shoving the revolver into his waistband. "I don't want closure, Will. I just want revenge."

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don't count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It'll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Heavily inspired by :Talk Dirty To Me; Talk Sweet To Me
Will
Typing...Yeah... been thinking about it a lot while I touch myself, thinking about how big you are.
Mike stared down at his phone for what felt like a moment too long. Typically, when they play their game, he does his best not to picture it because it makes things... hard. But he can't help picturing it now, and what's weird is that he isn't grossed out.
What's even weirder is that he can't decide what he wants more: to win the game, or to hear Will say something even worse.
Or: Mike and Will accidentally watch porn and then decide to make a “game” out of who can text the grossest thing. (Starts as texting but progresses to talking/other stuff in later chapters.)

Summary
His Mom smiles at him with a knowing look, and Jonathan has an arch to his brow like he wants to ask more – but before either can, there’s the sound of a thud.
Will’s smile falls into his stomach. It wrenches with fear, with horror.
All three look to the entrance of the lounge, the direction of the thud.
“Shit,” says someone out of sight, just beyond the entrance, almost too soft to catch.
Will’s blood runs cold, because he knows that voice, knows the specific lilt of it.
“Mike?"
Or, Will comes out on his own terms, to the two people who truly matter - and is overheard by the one other person who means the most. In wake of the revelation, they decide to split off and take the final battle with Vecna into their own hands, all while navigating the undeniable pull that grows between them.

"Clean it."
"What?" Mike deadpanned, sock starting to soak from the spilled coffee on the hardwood. "I-"

Summary
The hope was that Vecna was dead, because a portal to Hell splitting Hawkins down the middle was a kinder reality than the one they lived in. Max had woken up, after all, so maybe miracles do happen, and whatever took place during Spring Break was the end of it. Luck was never on their side, though.
The anniversary of Will's disappearance looms over them, like a guillotine in the form of a ticking clock. They knew well enough that all it takes is one night for everything to go wrong. The crawl goes off-script, Hopper is M.I.A., and the Wheeler's house is in ruin.
Maybe what they need is a return to form; maybe Will needs to go back there, to the Upside Down, himself, to get the answers they're looking for.
Or;
The events of November 1987 are retold through the eyes of The Party, because it should have ended how it started.

Summary
“I look like a nautical disaster, Max. I look like I’m about to go down with the Titanic.”
“Correct. But a nautical disaster that earns $3.35 an hour.”
Mike Wheeler’s summer goals were simple: survive the humiliating polyester sailor suit of Scoops Ahoy and save enough money to buy a new D&D manual. He didn't account for the heatwave, the sudden influx of girls flirting with his "indie-rock" hair, or the fact that Will Byers was working twenty feet away at Surfer Boy Pizza in a yellow visor that made Mike’s brain stop functioning.
Between trying to write his phone number on melting ice cream cups and surviving Max’s blunt commentary on Will's "athletic" development, Mike is losing his mind. But when the mall lights go out and the grease-and-sugar tension finally boils over on a flour-dusted prep table, Mike realizes that being a "Little Sailor" might not be so bad—as long as he has a Pizza Prince to come home to.
Or: The one where Mike pines, Will glares, and Max Mayfield deserves a raise for dealing with both of them.

Summary
It’s the start of spring semester, sophomore year at Brown University, and Mike Wheeler has a trio of problems. His parents aren’t happy that he recently declared his study concentration as English Literature rather than something more sensible. His friends are all moving on with their own lives and it feels like everyone is leaving him behind, even Will despite the fact that he’s only five minutes down the road at RISD. And the fantasy manuscript that he’s writing has a romance subplot that just keeps falling flat and storylines that keep brushing a little too close to the reality of Mike’s life. Mike doesn’t want to press too deeply into the character dynamics between the main trio of characters in his novel, despite the fact that his professor keeps urging him to do so, afraid that if he does then he might have to face some truths about his feelings for his best friend that he’s been keeping buried deep in his subconscious.
// An exploration of the complicated mind of Mike Wheeler through the lens of his novel “The Hand and The Heart.”
updating two chapters at a time.

Summary
Mike hates working with Max, he hates working at Scoops Ahoy, and he hates that his cousin is in town for the summer.
More specifically, he hates that Richie fucking Tozier has a job at Surfer Boy pizza, which so happens to be where Will is working.
Will has little to no expectations for this summer, his only expectations being that he could finally live a normal life— one without the upside down, without Vecna.
But it hadn’t been on his agenda to fall for Richie Tozier.
Especially when he’s still achingly in love with the one and only Mike Wheeler.
It’s safe to say, it’s going to be an interesting summer.Bookmarked by KayAreca
