    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during Nancy’s graduation dinner.

    The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV (with a season five rewrite because what the fuck!)

    Also known as the answer to Mikewhatthefuckdidyoudo gate

    Steve "the ally" Harrington is to Mike what Robin is to Will

    Summary

    “Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.

    Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'

    Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

    Summary

    “So what else is there?”

    “What?”

    Mike paused and shifted uncomfortably, like his legs were falling asleep or something. He squeezed at his own calf. “That guys do, that makes them gay.”

    “I—hah—I don’t know, Mike, like, suck each other off? Probably?” Fall in love, he avoided saying.

    “Do you wanna do that?”

    Will raised his brows. “To each other?”

    Summary

    “Okay—gun to your head, you’ve got to kiss someone in this room. Who would it be?”

    “Dude, what?”

    “Seriously! I’m about to shoot, homeboy, this is your last chance!”

    Will furrowed his brows. He shrugged.

    “Mike,” he said confidently.

    There was a beat of silence.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
