    Summary

    Mike was now sixteen, and what he knew about love, albeit very little, was a binder full of crayon drawings and a second hand high in the back of a pizza van and a body in the quarry. It always had been, and it always would be.

    Love is why Mike knew the exact hazel of Will Byers’ eyes, and love is why he felt his heart stop when he saw that those same eyes were now a cold dark brown.

    or...

    After a multitude of failed crawls and a long-awaited sign from Will's sixth sense, Mike and Will are sent to investigate the church in the Upside Down. Vecna shows up uninvited and meddles, as he so often does. (aka my take on churchgate!)

    Summary

    In the quiet aftermath of everything, Mike keeps visiting the quarry, searching for answers in the dark water below and in the memory of jumping into nothing with intention. When Will discovers the truth, everything he buried inside himself comes roaring back to life.

    OR: Mike doesn’t think he deserves to stay; Will refuses to lose him.

    Summary

    “One more! Say, ‘prom with my best friend!’”

    Will’s ears heated. Mike must have told Holly about last night; she must have eavesdropped—

    “You little shit, just take the damn picture,” Mike said.

    “Say it,” she taunted them, “or no photo for you.”

    “Prom with my best friend,” they said, lying through their teeth as she snapped another.

    When the Polaroid slipped out Holly waved it in the air, fanning her smirking face. “Liars.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” he whispers. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean—”

    Will finally looks at him.

    Just for a second.

    Eyes dull with exhaustion.

    “I know,” he says quietly.

    He shakes his head, stepping back into the door again like he needs it to hold him up.

    “Don’t go,” he says again, weaker now. “Please.”

    Will hesitates.

    Just for a fraction of a second.

    Then—

    softly—

    “I have to.”

    Summary

    “Forever?”

    Though the camera doesn’t catch it, Joyce and Jonathan exchange an amused look over the rearview.

    Then, the footage splices, rapidly cutting through various points in life—Will and Mike’s first time hanging out at the Byers’; Mike coming over for Will’s birthday; Will coming over for Mike’s. Flashes of middle school that stretched into those final days before they left for Lenora. High school, graduation, moving day—the clips start blurring into one another as more pop up, but it stops on a clip of Mike and Will, probably around six years old, giggling as they try to handle the camera.

    “We’ll see about forever, honey.”

    (or, the one where jonathan byers has a lot of stocked up video footage from when mike and will were kids, and decides that the best time to reveal them is during his best man speech at their wedding.)
