    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.

    Summary

    Will Byers isn't sure how he feels about spying on a secret agency, but his boss said he had to do it, or there would be consequences.
    Ironically enough, when working at the agency to find out more information, he's sent on a mission back to his own corporation with a strange partner named Mike Wheeler. Hopefully, he can get close enough to Mike to get everything he needs, overthrow the secret agency, and be done with this.
    Unfortunately, he's starting to feel a little bad about this whole betray-Mike thing. The guy doesn't deserve that at all.
    Now, Will has to figure out what he's going to do, complete his mission and protect his family, or help Mike and the agency try to overthrow the evil Upside Down corporation, and it's not as easy as it seems.

    Pretty much, it's superspy byler. We've got casinos, parties, car chases, secret labs, evil guys in suits, guns, cool gadgets, high-stakes spy missions- everything you could ever ask for from a spy movie, but with a stranger things/byler twist. Enjoy.

    Make sure to check notes for TWs on chapters :)

    Summary

    “And us?” Will challenges. He looks Mike directly in the eye, nearly taking Mike’s breath away once again. Mike’s heart races inside his chest.

    “We’re friends,” Mike says defensively. The implications of Will’s words aren’t lost on him, so for good measure, Mike emphasizes, “We’re friends, Will.”

    “Yeah well, we used to be best friends, Mike!” Will shouts, and his voice cracks again.

     

    Or:

    In the aftermath of the Battle of Starcourt, Owens immediately sends the Byers and El away from Hawkins with specific instructions to not contact anyone until things have cooled down. Now, nearly two years later, Mike finds himself in California for what will either be the best—or the worst—spring break of his life.

    Summary

    A distant gaze forms on Nancy’s face, and she turns to look at Mike with those watery, haunted eyes. There’s something about the look in Nancy’s eyes that is so eerily familiar, and Mike shudders as his brain makes the connection as to what.

    “And he’s not going to stop, Mike. Not until… until he’s taken everything… and everyone.”

    “You… you don’t understand,” Nancy whispers, her voice cracking. Never once do her eyes leave Mike’s, even as they fill with fresh tears. “It’s already begun… The… the beginning of the end.”

     

    Or:

    In the direct aftermath of his return to Hawkins, Mike and the Party find themselves in the midst of a war against One and the forces of the Upside Down. As life as he knows it changes, Mike must find a way to navigate his friendships, his relationship with Will, and most importantly, his understanding of himself.
