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
"Have you talked to him today?" Jonathan asked, gesturing to Will, who was now approaching the sink. Mike didn't need Jonathan to explain who he was talking about.
"No, he's been in the basement all day. I thought he was just painting or something," Mike replied, shaking his head before lowering his voice. "I think he's having an episode."
Jonathan nodded. "I mean, maybe, but he hasn't had one in a long time," he said, voice growing softer.
Mike knew Will was still recovering from everything, still adjusting to being back home. Everything that had happened in the past couple of years certainly hadn't been great, but Mike thought things were getting better, or at least easier.
"I know," Mike whispered, looking back to Will, making sure he hadn't left the kitchen yet. Will was finishing up rinsing off his plate. Mike turned back to Jonathan. "What should we do?"
"I don't know. I mean, you were always the one that he wanted. You always knew how to talk to him and knew what he needed," Jonathan said, pausing before continuing. "Honestly, I think he would probably just want you."
or
Will had an episode, and Mike was there to help.

Summary
"Tell me, Sir Michael, do they ever let you out of that suit? Or do you sleep in it to hide the fact that there's nothing underneath but duty?"
Mike doesn’t blink. "I sleep in it so that if someone like you tries to sneak into the Prince's quarters at night, they find six inches of steel instead of a door."
or;
Jealous personal knight Mike Wheeler will shatter anyone who dares to touch his prince. That includes slimy Lords from the South who want to court him.

Summary
Will doesn’t have anything to lose anymore, and Mike can’t lose him. The two go hurtling towards an inevitable precipice where the only option might be to go tumbling down together, limbs grappling for each other, flesh melding, and heartbeats syncing in time.
OR
Will’s composure cracks and beats up their middle school bully, finishing the job Mike started. :)

Summary
Will's been acting— strange, Mike thinks. He's caught Will skulking around the house like he's got lead weights attached to his ankles, watched his eyes blink listlessly without a hint of light in their irises, heard his voice go so raspy Mike wasn't sure he'd been speaking at all. Mike can’t help but worry.
He doesn’t look too good, either; clammy skin, pale, ashen face, hollowed cheeks like he’s hardly eaten in days. Will's acting half-dead already, and the world's not even close to ending yet.
Mike, on the other hand, is being slowly tormented by a strange monster with fangs long enough to spear him through. These two things— Will's strange behavior, and Mike's impending doom— may or may not be related, but Mike's got to figure it out. One way or another.
(Or; Will puts his life on the line to keep his friends safe, and nearly loses it entirely. Mike does all he can to bring Will back— and, in the process, brings them closer together than ever before.)
