Summary
Immediately post-Season 4, the gang are catching up and reuniting at Hopper's old cabin. Mike, who's been on the edge of a panic attack for the past few days, excuses himself to get some 'fresh air'- unbeknownst to anyone but Joyce, who still isn't fully up-to-date on the Vecna situation. After about 30 minutes, the group notices his absence and are immediately concerned. They can't find Mike anywhere in the surrounding area, but they find the exact thing they were dreading; a small gate.
Mike finds himself in the Upside-Down, but the circumstances are strange. Vecna is nowhere to be seen and the area around him is completely barren. It's an elaborate plot to torment Mike with his greatest fears; forcing him to relive his own worst memories with his family and friends by his side.
How much could one kid have to hide, anyways?

Summary
“Do I really have to do this?” Will asks, for what is presumably the millionth time. He lost track a while ago.
“Yes,” Max replies without hesitation. “You’re unbearably lonely.”
Will drops his jaw, offended. Sure, he might not have the most entertaining love life, but he wouldn’t go that far. He’s happy where he is. Content. He doesn’t need a guy to fulfill him. “My loneliness is completely bearable.”
—
Will reluctantly joins a dating app at his friends’ insistence. He doesn’t have much hope, until he’s messaged by a dork who likes rocks.

Summary
After the Byers move to California, Mike discovers the world of goth music and fashion, all thanks to Siouxsie and the Banshees.
"What. The. Fuck.
Those were Mike’s first thoughts after he finished listening to Juju. How could he have been missing out on this?! This music being hidden from him for so long was a crime! The song’s melody mixed with the singer’s voice was like a siren's call to Mike. Mike was in heaven and Siouxsie was the angels choir."

Grief’s an Expensive Emotion by Randomness_is_my_order

Summary
“What do you want Wheeler?”
Mike’s jittery foot-taps started just as he replied, “Did you eat breakfast?”
“What?” Max blinked, then glared. “How is that any of your business?”
For a moment, she was sure Mike would glare in return, say something fiery or insulting or mocking then they’d both go back to how things were – ignoring each other until interaction was absolutely necessary.
But that didn’t happen.
Grief can cause distance between close friends and bring closer the distant ones.
Max should’ve known that Mike Wheeler can’t help but meddle with her business. But as their reluctant friendship blossoms into profound understanding, Max is amazed at how much they have in common and how much this friendship feels like something she can enjoy, instead of something she has to endure.

autumn air, jacket ‘round my shoulders is yours by gaysforbyler

Summary
The anniversary effect is very real; they’ve all felt it. Especially Will, as another shiver racks through him, stronger than the last. This time, Will takes a step closer to Mike and presses their shoulders together. Whether it’s for body heat or comfort, Mike doesn’t know, but he isn’t going to complain.
If he can’t protect Will from the horrible memories and sleepless nights, he can at least protect him from the autumn breeze. He quickly tugs off his leather jacket and holds it out for Will to take, who looks down at it in surprise.
“What?” he asks, glancing between it and Mike, like he doesn’t know what to do with it.
“You’re cold,” Mike states, no room for question. He knows that Will would lie about it if he could.

Mike and Will attempt to navigate Halloween together while struggling with the anniversary effect.

Summary
“You know exactly what I mean, Mike.” Will snaps, turning back around. He continues walking away from the front door—away from Mike—his pace increasing as he tugs his creaky old bike along with him.
“No, actually, apparently I don’t know anything anymore!” Mike jolts forwards, following Will—who has now left the cover of the porch and is being soaked in rainfall—and grabbing him by the shoulder. Will stops walking and turns around, but he flinches back as if Mike’s touch has burned him. Mike removes his hand. “I thought I knew that we were a team now; I thought I knew that things were good,” Mike continues, shivering and brushing his now wet hair from his forehead. “But here you are, telling me I’d like it if you were dead, trying to run away without even saying a word to me—do you know how that fucking feels?”
or
Will tries to leave in the middle of the night. Mike stops him.

Summary
"I don't see what the problem is, Popeye," Mike continues talking over Steve's indignant splutter, "Just give us the discount and we'll be out of your—hair." He's let go of Max's hand to spread his arms out in what is probably meant to be a diplomatic gesture but is too awkwardly steeped in teen gangliness to communicate anything other than an odd flailing.
Steve puts his head in his hands, raking his fingers through his hair as he readjusts his hat. What the fuck is wrong with your life, Harrington? he laments to himself.
Starcourt Mall is running a promotional campaign across their stores, offering discounts and deals to couples. Max Mayfield and Mike Wheeler take the opportunity to engage in one of their favourite past-times: bullying Steve Harrington.

Summary
“And - and we’ll go to Scoops Ahoy and I’ll get you your favourite ice cream.”
This is all starting to suspiciously look very close to a date, but Will brushes it off - it wouldn’t be the first time he’s read too much into things.
Mike starts fidgeting with his hands, when no answer comes.
“You - you know, like a proper date? I know I’ve done something wrong, because you’re not speaking to me, but we haven’t been on one in ages, so. And then, I was hoping - maybe - if it goes well, I was - uh. I was going to ask if I can kiss you again. Properly, I mean. It’s fine if not though!”
Will doesn’t hear anything else Mike might say afterwards, because his brain short-cuts.
or
Mike confesses to Will - then kisses him. They don't talk about it, but maybe they should.

Summary
“Polar bear.”
Will is truly flabbergasted. He can barely process the words, they're so unexpected.
“What?”
“Your favorite animal is a polar bear.” Mike reiterates, “ Or was…anyways you really like them and I always thought it was so weird. Since that’s not a typical favorite animal, usually kids say something like lion or elephant or wolf but you didn’t. Yours is a polar bear and you said it was because of some documentary you saw about how the mother’s raise their cubs and protect them by themselves in the arctic and it really stuck with you. And every time I see one I think of you and that moment. But the quick trip came out with these new slushies that have a polar bear logo and the guys would always want to go after class and stuff and I would make up some dumb excuse about hating the flavors but it was a lie. I like blue raspberry, you know I like blue raspberry. It was just…every time I went into the fucking place all I saw were polar bears and all I could think about was you .” Mike finishes and his ears are tinted red and his nose keeps twitching.
Will doesn’t know what to say.

Summary
Will's never been in a situation worse than this. How's he going to spend the next few months with Steve Harrington, resident douchebag of Hawkins?
Mike's never been in a situation more infuriating than this. How's he going to spend the next few months alongside Robin Buckley without strangling her?
Robin has never seen two teenagers more head-over-heels for each other than Mike and Will. Can they just get their heads out of the sand already?
Steve has never been more nervous around a teenage boy. Something about Will makes him feel guilty.
(Or; In the oncoming apocalypse, Mike and Will are forcibly 'buddied up' with Robin and Steve. It gets worse before it gets better.)

Summary
Chapter one: they're fourteen and stupidly in love and kind of aware of it. But it's just a joke. Just a joke. "So maybe I should laugh a bit more myself and stop staring at the way you laugh." That kind of joke.
Chapter two: they're almost fourty and they survived the killer clown and remembered the person they've been waiting for all their life- so they move in together. Because they're still stupidly in love, and very much aware of it.

Richie is an idiot. But apparently a bilingual idiot. Oh wait no- multilingual. Yeah... Eddie has a hard time believing it as well... Also they're alive and everything's made out of sunshine and rainbows except for Richie's mouth- In all languages.

“Can I come?” she blurted out, far too loud.
Richie’s eyebrows climbed. “Why?”
Bev took a deep breath to settle her pounding heart. “You make it sound so inviting,” she joked, even as her fingers tore another fragment from the bottle. “The freedom, the fresh air. The serial killers.”

Summary
"Oh my god," said Eddie. "Fine. Thank you, Richie, for setting my arm that one time when we almost got murdered by a demon clown anyway. I admit that you somehow managed to do it more or less correctly, probably by accident. Thank you also for not stitching up the stab-hole in my cheek, because I would rather have it heal as a fucking hole than let you near my face with a sharp needle. I'll go to the ER when we're done with this bullshit."
Richie chuckled. "I'll take you."
"Fucking right, you will," said Eddie.
***
Missing scenes from IT Chapter Two, covering some of what Richie got up to when he wasn't onscreen and adding some of that character development they must have cut for time, and a second chapter containing the highly questionable stand-up comedy show Richie found himself performing three weeks after leaving Derry.
