Summary
Mike wakes to the sound of movement in the kitchen. He pushes himself up, still groggy, and steps into the hallway.
“Hey, baby,” a voice says easily, not looking up. “You want coffee—?”
Carlton turns around, stops short. Blinks once.
“Oh,” he says, then laughs under his breath. “You’re… not Will.”
Mike freezes.
Or,
Post-canon, Mike Wheeler crashes at his best friend’s New York apartment for a book deal. But he wasn't ready to see this version of Will Byers: confident, successful, in love, surrounded by community and so, so free.
While Will lives the life he has always deserved, Mike grieves El and comes to the quiet, devastating realization that he might be in love a few years too late.
Despite everything, they still seem to find their way back to each other.

Summary
Mike Wheeler, twenty-five and freshly published, is assigned an illustrator for his first sci-fi novel! He’s nervous, excited… terrified, actually.
Then he sees the name, his name. William Byers.
It’s been years since Hawkins, years since the silence between them hardened into distance. They were never lovers, barely friends by the end, even though they left that small town a long time ago... They took separated paths. However, something unfinished has always clung to them like ink on paper.
Now they have to work together; late nights, shared drafts, seven chapters to finish.
What could go wrong?
