Summary
Sakaki's the type of girl who would join a basketball game and make the best players look like they'd never put foot on a court. By the first week of high school, she had a scowl on her face and bandages on her hands and blood staining her fingers—it all had to be from a fistfight. The students warn each other not to mess with her, because if you do, you'll regret it.
Still, she's the best athlete the school has in freshman year, and she just radiates coolness, with how tall and quiet she is. Almost shy. So her fellow students respect her, even as they whisper about her latest act of delinquency.
They'd never think that she hates sports festivals and the jocks that participate in them. They'd never believe that she hates the idea of hurting someone, and that the bandages are because cats bite her hands, and so the rumors of her winning fights are lies. They would never understand how much she doesn't want to be feared—how all she wants are friends, and a cute cat, and for this false popularity to end.
But wanting to stop a lie is harder than actually doing so.

Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
After Mike unwittingly stumbles into a series of interpersonal bombshells, he immediately sets out to find Will so he can find out what, exactly, that painting meant, and why Will lied about it.

Summary
"I-I don't know what Vecna showed you but I promise you, no version of Mike can ever hate any version of his Will. I am your Mike, Will. Yours. The Michael Wheeler to your William Byers. The Paladin to your Sorcerer. Mike the Brave who belongs with Will the Wise. If I am the heart of the party you are mine." Mike's voice breaks but he continues,"So please, please fight this. Please remember and come back. Come back to me."
or
A canon fix it where the canon story is Will's Vecna vision that has been used to trap him. So now the team must prepare for the final battle to uncover the secrets that have plagued them for years and Mike must finally come to terms with his feelings for his best friend. A retelling and fix it of sorts on how I think Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 and the ending should have gone because a) the plot actually REQUIRED a Byler endgame b) the fans had much better theories than whatever I was made to watch.
Diverges after Season 5 Episode 5
