Summary
“We fucked up our room,” Mike murmurs, his face pressed against Will’s hair. He rubs small circles on Will’s back, a gentle motion full of so much love and care, and Will leans close, breathing in deeply and relaxing in his embrace amidst the chaos of their paint-covered room.
“That’s okay,” Will replies softly, before he pulls away, just enough so that he and Mike can look one another in the eye again. He smiles, taking in Mike’s appearance — the splatters of paint like freckles on his face, the streaks of green now caked in his dark hair, the soft expression that Mike only ever seems to reserve for Will. “It’s our home. We can do whatever we want.”
Or:
Will and Mike buy their first home together.

“One week,” Will echoes, softer now than before. “One week until we both leave Hawkins.”
“Yeah,” Mike agrees.
“One week until we don’t get to live in the same town anymore,” adds Will.
“Yeah,” Mike repeats softly. He hesitates, watching Will’s expression carefully to gauge his reaction, then adds, “One week until we’re long distance.”
With just one week left until they move away for college, Mike and Will share a quiet moment together.

Summary
If someone had told Lucy MacLean a month ago that she was going to be traveling across the surface with an irradiated bounty hunter who had nearly drowned her and tried to sell her for drug money, in order to find her father, who it turned out had destroyed an entire community in a jealous rage... She would have wondered who had put drugs in their jello cake.
So the fact that that is exactly where she is finding herself has her head in a spin. The world is nothing like she thought it would be, and everything she feared it could be, but she can't go back to her Vault without answers, and the mysterious ghoul bounty hunter is her best bet for finding the source of those answers. It's time to meet her makers. And if the changing dynamic with her new guide happens to give her more questions along the way? Well, Lucy has always relished a challenge.

“We are going to do such beautiful things together, William.”
He hardly sees him in his nightmares. At least, not directly. And, he hardly dreams about that night.
But, when he does, those are the worst nightmares of all.
Or
My take on Will, Mike, nightmares and a very much needed heart-to-heart.Bookmarked by al_hub

Summary
“I know I’ve searched for you in a hundred different worlds,” Mike says quietly, and he smiles at Will, soft and sad, “and I would search through a hundred more if it meant that we could be together again. And I know that you would do the exact same thing for me. Because that’s just what we do for each other, Will. That’s just who we are.”
I love you. The words go unspoken but not unsaid. Will can feel them—through the earnestness in Mike’s voice and the tears in his eyes and in the certainty of belief he has in them. I love you, Mike tells him, over and over again, and deep in Will’s heart, he knows that Mike means it.
Or:
After getting kidnapped by a strange man claiming to be his fiancé, Will learns that his life isn't quite what he believed it to be.

Summary
“Mike! MIKE!” Will’s voice echoes in his mind—desperate and terrified. And he’d tried—God—Mike had tried to get to him, but he couldn’t reach him in time. He couldn’t save Will.
He’s never been able to save Will.
“I’m sorry,” Mike blurts out. The words tumble out of his mouth and the tears begin to fall, before Joyce even has a chance to get another word in. “I - I’m sorry, Joyce.”
Or:
In the aftermath of their encounter with Vecna and Will's kidnapping, Mike begins to have some realizations about himself, his relationship with El, and his feelings for Will.

Summary
In true Lucas form, he’s completely unfazed by Mike’s annoyance. “I mean,” he says dryly, lowering his voice, “that every time you’re around Will, you end up staring at him and getting distracted.”
Shit. Had he really been that obvious about it?
Or:
The one in which Will Byers is only a little distracting.

Summary
“It’s nothing,” Will says weakly. “I just… I’ve been having trouble sleeping since then. I guess… I guess that vision really messed with me.”
Mike squeezes his hand again, and Will closes his eyes tightly. His head is pounding even worse now, and this car feels too small. Everything is just too much.
“Will, can I… can I kiss you?”
“Do you want to talk about it?” Mike asks. He’s speaking in that voice again—gentle and warm, inviting Will to open up and bare his heart to him. “What did he show you, Will?”
Or:
Will has a Vecna vision that he can't quite cope with or tell Mike about.

El smiles back, and she sits up, brushing the wrinkles out of her dress. “You know,” she says thoughtfully, “after everything we have been through… I think you deserve a boring graduation, Will.”
“Hey,” Will starts to say, but his protests are lost over the sound of his family’s agreement.
“Seconded,” Hopper mutters.
“Me too,” Jonathan agrees.
Or:
Will and the other Party members graduate from high school.

“And," Jonathan adds, a smirk forming on his face, "as your family, it’s our duty to protect you!”
“Protect me from what?” Will asks incredulously.
“Public enemy #1,” Hopper answers.
He’s kidding... or at least Will thinks he is.
Or:
Will goes on his very first date, and the Byers-Hopper family may or may not want to give Mike a shovel talk because of it.

Summary
“I saw you watching over him earlier,” El says softly. “You would not stop looking at him, even when the rest of us tried to make sure you were okay. It… it reminded me of something.”
Confusion fills Mike inside, and he shakes his head. “What are you talking about?”
El just smiles at him again, that small, almost knowing smile. She reaches for the hacky sack left on the coffee table, and she absentmindedly fiddles with it, not meeting Mike’s eyes. “You remind me of Lucas,” she murmurs. “And how he is with Max.”
Or:
Mike and El have a conversation about Will.

Summary
“Mike,” Lucas says, his voice impossibly soft and full of compassion. “Will—”
“Don’t,” Mike snaps again.
This time, it comes out as more of a desperate, breathless shout. His heart pounds inside his chest. His head feels like it’s spinning, repeating the same, terrified mantra over and over again as if somehow that'll make it true.
He can’t be gone. Will can’t be gone.
Or:
The battle with the Upside Down is over, and against all odds, Mike has managed to survive.
Now, the only thing left for him to do is find Will.

Summary
"For one," Mike sighs, propping onto one elbow to look at Will properly, "Holly definitely has a crush on you."
Will squints, just barely, lips curling up in amusement. It takes Mike an excruciatingly long time to detect what exactly Will thinks of this matter, but what comes out is soft, mellow, and not particularly to Mike’s enjoyment: "That's kind of cute."
“It is not,” Mike hisses, and Will shoots him a grin. “She always talks about you, always giggles whenever you talk to her, and because she's like, incredibly adorable, and you’re so good with kids, I'm going to be trailing behind you guys like an absolute loser because she totally hogs you.”
"Wait," Will blurts, brows drawing close. "Are you jealous?"
Mike Wheeler is many things, but he is never jealous.
Except — maybe this time he is.

Summary
“When I first met you, you were…intimidating, to say the least. But I liked the way you smiled at me,” she admit like she was shy, her doe–eyes trained on the dirt floor.
“You like my yellow–ass teeth?” he bared his teeth in a mocking smile as wide as he could, deciding it’d be funny watching her try to come up with something nice to say.
“I like your yellow–ass teeth!” She echoed unflinchingly with a small smile and eyes glittering, befitting some kind of cartoon princess. Like Snow–fuckin’–White.
“Huh. Will wonders ever cease,” he huffed in amusement. “What else you like, princess?”
Five things the Ghoul doesn't understand about Lucy Maclean, and one thing he does for certain.

Summary
At first, Mon did not recognize the woman Erskin brought in. She looked to be a human in her late twenties or early thirties. She had long honey blonde hair, worn in loose curls, and brown eyes that were framed by long lashes. Her clothing was made of a pale yellow fabric, cut in the style that was popular on Coruscant lately. She looked sweet, was Mon's first thought. Innocent.
It wasn't until Mon noticed the scar above her eyebrow that her heart seemed to stop for a moment.
"Kl—"
"Klara Duraz."
Kleya stepped forward with a bright smile, unlike anything Mon had seen before, and held out her hand.
-
Or, after an attempt on Mon's life, Kleya is sent undercover as her new senatorial aide in order to not only protect her but track down her assassin before it's too late.
