The Things We Never Said (we spoke with our hearts) by midnight_mems28

Summary
“And then, you’re going to go inside, you’re going to wrap Christmas presents, and sit next to your boyfriend at the dinner table, and you’re going to think about this moment the entire time. You’re going to think about what happens when you do what you did to me this morning.”
Mike could feel Will nodding, chest heaving.
“And you’re not going to touch yourself when you’re alone either. Are you?”
“N-no.” Will was dripping.
“Why not?”
“Because, I was, I was a bad boy, and I—I don’t deserve to come.”
It had been seven years since the party ended in Mike Wheeler’s basement after graduation. He was drowning in a sea of conformity, grasping at the only lifeline that ever made sense to him, his imagination.
Or-Mike ends up in New York after years of isolation. Curious to know if his former best friend still lived in the city. He felt completely aimless, until he stumbles upon a gallery, and sees a painting of his younger self hung in an exhibit, a plaque next to the frame reading, “First Love-W.B”.
Mike is finally faced with the reality that he’s always been too scared to admit.
He had to find Will.

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summer jobs, friendships, and new romances are tested as the three friends navigate their newfound identities as mermaids.
For Lucas Sinclair, standing by Max no matter what is easy. And for Dustin Henderson, he’d spend all day researching Jane’s newfound powers.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy

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
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Summary
Today was March 22.
It was Will Byers’s birthday.Hopper and his mom had left earlier, saying they had things to take care of.
Lucas, Mike, Jane, and Max were out—apparently on a double date.
Jonathan was somewhere with Nancy.
Robin was with her new girlfriend.
Dustin said he and Steve had plans.But Will was sure—absolutely sure—that everyone was planning something for him.
Because his family had never forgotten. Not once.
Because his closest friends had never missed his birthday, not since they were kids.
Even Steve had never forgotten.Hours passed.
Will stayed on the couch, phone resting in his hand, waiting for a message.
Waiting for a call.
Waiting for the front door to burst open, for someone to yell surprise,
or for someone to text him to come outside.Nothing.
Still nothing.
Eventually, Will fell asleep.
His phone never rang.
