    Summary

    Everyone has a secret. Including Mike Wheeler, who finds himself stuck reliving his best friend Will Byers' coming out. Why does his chest feel so tight when he thinks about it? Why couldn't he just get over himself? The party begins their climb to the Abyss and while the threat of Vecna and the evils above loom over them, so does Mike's secret.

    While Will Byers grapples with his newfound powers and the responsibility of defending the party, he's still left with the guilt of letting Vecna take those kids, and the knowledge that he created those tunnels in Hawkins. And on top of that, he's trying to get over his best friend (who is definitely his Tammy. Right?) while protecting his friends and family from the demos that come for them in the endless tunnel system that is the Abyss.

    Or: a finale rewrite that reimagines the Abyss, the mind flayer, and the final battle while leaving room for my favorite ship.

    Summary

    Now, someone walked into the room. A boy, awkwardly standing at the side of his bed, looking over him worriedly. His hair was brown and scruffy, and he had big baby doe eyes and a yellow-and-blue horizontally-striped shirt like a cartoon character. The window was lighting him up like he was important to Mike’s narrative. The curtains are blue, thought Mike, this boy is light. I love metaphors. Maybe he was high on the pain meds. Upon seeing him, Mike felt a great affection, a great peace. Plus, he had long eyelashes. Mike almost giggled to himself. He was definitely a little high.

    “Hi.” breathed Mike.

    “Hi.” he said, hesitating.

    “We’re friends?” Mike asked hopefully.

    Or: During the Party's final battle with Vecna, Mike is gravely injured and loses his memories. He wakes up in a hospital only remembering a handful of inconsequential little things, like how much he loves a boy who seems like light.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    It was a matter of minutes. Minutes that could have changed his fate, that could have averted the fast-approaching disaster that was coming straight at Mike Wheeler.

    Minutes that were wasted because no one noticed his disappearance.

    And so he was left alone, with something new and dangerous in his veins, a scream in his head, and only one goal: to get out of here.

    ─┉─ • ─┉─

    Or: Mike Wheeler is dragged to the Soviet Union by the Russians, gains powers, and does everything it takes to survive. Everything.
