    Summary

    “I keep imagining telling you all of this in person and then immediately shoving a gun down my throat and killing myself. Because then you’d look at me differently. Or worse— you wouldn’t. You’d look at me exactly the same, and I wouldn’t know what to do with that.”

    His voice cracks slightly, but he keeps going.

    “I don’t want you to feel like I’m breaking in front of you.”

    “But I think I already am. I think I already did. I think you looked away. I think you still care. I think you’re scared. I think I love you. No. I Know I love you. I’m as sure of it as Dustin is about wavefunctions collapsing the moment you try to define them too precisely.”

    “Will, I always wonder… if we too, would collapse if one of us tries to define what we are too precisely.”

    OR

    In which Mike and Will get high, make terrible decisions, and avoid one very obvious conversation for an impressive amount of time.

    Summary

    Will has felt this before. He’s felt it in basements and bike rides and hospital rooms. In late nights and shared looks and the way Mike always seemed to turn toward him, even when he didn’t mean to. He’d named it a long time ago, quietly, carefully, like you label a box you don’t plan to open. It fed everything else. The hope he’d already strangled. The recognition he’d buried. The longing. The wanting. The terrible, stupid belief that some things could be mutual without being spoken. That you could be seen without asking for it. That someone could know you and still stay. Understanding.

    Maybe if he killed this one, the rest would finally starve.

    or the finale rewritten because what the actual absolute fuck was that.

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler spends years trying to be “normal.”
    Normal son, normal friend, normal boyfriend, normal boy.

    But growing up with Will Byers — through disappearances, monsters, trauma, high school, and finally college — makes “normal” feel less and less like something he actually wants.

    This is the long, messy, painfully slow journey of Mike figuring himself out, losing himself, finding himself again, and realizing that the only thing that ever made sense — the only thing that ever felt right — was Will.
