    Summary

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

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half 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 dinner.

    ~

    The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.

    Also known as the answer to Mikewhatthefuckdidyoudo gate

    Steve Harrington is to Mike what Robin is to Will

    Season 5 Rewrite to follow WHILE THIS IS A COMPLETE WORK, THE SEASON 5 REWRITE IS A WIP

    Everything is tagged appropriately. If you choose to read, that is your prerogative. No smut occurs until chapter 36.

    Summary

    Mike stuffs his hands in his pockets as he waits for the door to swing open. When it finally does, his tense shoulders relax a little at the face that appears on the other side.

    Joyce’s eyes widen in surprise when she sees him. Her inquisitive gaze makes him feel small, standing hunched over on her porch in the dim afternoon light. He must look pathetic— like a dog that’s been left out in the rain. “Mike,” she says, her voice laced with mock-cheer. He wishes she would just cut the act already. Kick him to the curb like she clearly wants to. “I wasn’t expecting you.”

    —

    Mike seeks refuge at the Byers’ house during an emotional breakdown. He doesn’t feel very welcome there.

    Summary

    “Mike?” She tries again, her throat bubbling. She hates this. She hates not knowing how to fix things.
    More heavy breathing blows through the receiver.

    A shaky sob.

    And a response.

    “I’m gay.”

    A scared weep rattles into her ear and Nancy’s chest squeezes.

    Fuck.

    or

    In the middle of the night, Mike comes out to Nancy over the phone.

    "I can't be in the same room with him, Max! Whenever I am, I just want to grab Mike’s face and kiss or bite him- he's so cute I want to bite him!"

    "You want to do 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 to me?"

    "Oh shit."

    Summary

    “Well,” her dad said. Layla heard the wry tone of his voice. “I made my choice.”

    “Yeah, but…” Layla pulled back slowly, looking up at her dad. Her stupid, silly, creative dad, who always just needed a little push from the people he loved most. An idea formed in her head. 

    He groaned, recognizing the look in her eye. “What? What’s rattling around in that brain of yours?” 

    “Will’s single,” she said. “Aunt Nancy told me that he and Ty broke up.”

    “Layla Grace Wheeler,” he said immediately, like he knew what she was going to say, “you will not, and I repeat: you will not, under any circumstances, do something to help us reconnect.”

    She stared up at him. A million complicated emotions crossed his face as he stared back, face stony and determined. “But you love him.”

    “Loved,” he corrected. “Past tense.”

    She tilted her head and watched him.
