    Summary

    “We have to kill him,” Mike finishes fiercely, and for a second, Will pictures him in full paladin gear, making the same speech in a castle, or a magical forest, or a dark dungeon. He’s every bit the boy Will’s always known, the one who stands up for his friends and his principles and never, ever backs down. Even when the odds are against them. Even when they’re impossible.

    Will swears that he can feel electricity crackling in the air, Mike’s last sentence settling on the group like a physical weight. Everyone looks impressed: Jonathan, Hopper, even Owens. Will knows the look on his own face must be incredibly obvious, incredibly stupid.

    He doesn’t care. That’s the Mike he knows. That’s the Party’s leader.

    That’s the boy Will fell in love with.

    “Max…”

    “Oh.”

    what would happen if robin’s coming out scene in season 3 of stranger things was rewritten as madwheeler instead of stobin?

    (mike is written to be robin, max is written to be steve) + mike and max are high school age in this instead of middle school age!

    + bonus of how i think mike would come out to nancy! (wheeler siblings i love you the s5 writing didn’t do you justice)

    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.
