Summary
"You look nice," Robin said, patting Mike on the shoulder when she found him alone in the hallway, a glass of punch in his hands. She's dressed in black jeans and a grey woolly sweater. Mike glanced down at himself.
"I always wear this," he declared.
"You don't wear khakis. Or plaid."
She said it like she knew him better than he knew himself.
That was the first thing that made him think.
Or, Mike Wheeler and his blossoming friendship with Robin Buckley.

Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.
---
Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

Summary
It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.
OR:
Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.

Summary
"So," Max says, twisting her braid around one hand and arching an eyebrow. "What is in it for you, then? I know I'm not the highest ranking princess you met with."
This is it. Nerves of steel. You've got this. Choke now and you jeopardize everything. "I like you," he says truthfully, and she squints at him disbelievingly. "You're- spunky, I suppose. I think I could trust you."
She frowns. "Trust me with what?"
Now or never. "Hypothetically," Will says, spreading his palms against his knees and trying his best to control his erratic heartrate, "How- open of a marriage would you be okay with?"
Being a prince isn't everything it's cracked up to be, but Will tries to make the most of it.

Summary
"She was being bullied,” he says softly. “I didn’t even know. She didn’t tell me because… I didn’t even tell her I loved her. I just kept writing to her without saying it and then I got there and we just—we just went to the skating rink and had a date like we’re in love and then everything happened and it just feels like bullshit. It feels like bullshit.”
Steve sucks in a sharp breath, like he’s in pain, but he doesn’t seem to be like, clutching his sides or anything. “Typical,” he mutters, more to himself than to Mike.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
"Like you’re in love?”
“I mean—” Mike blanches, and tries to backtrack. “We are in love. We are. She loves me. And I—”
Dammit, why can’t he say it?

Summary
“Have you noticed the signals?” Robin asks softly.
Will freezes. He’s quiet for one… two… three moments, before slowly, he lifts his head and meets Robin’s gaze. His eyes are still wide—full of an understandable uncertainty but also a hope that’s so infectious that Robin can’t help but smile.
“I… I think so,” he confesses. “I… I don’t know if they actually mean anything, but… but everything you said to look for… all those signals…”
His voice trails off, and Robin offers a wry smile, finishing the thought for him, “They’re definitely there.”
Or:
The one in which Robin witnesses a snowball become an avalanche.

Summary
Will's never been in a situation worse than this. How's he going to spend the next few months with Steve Harrington, resident douchebag of Hawkins?
Mike's never been in a situation more infuriating than this. How's he going to spend the next few months alongside Robin Buckley without strangling her?
Robin has never seen two teenagers more head-over-heels for each other than Mike and Will. Can they just get their heads out of the sand already?
Steve has never been more nervous around a teenage boy. Something about Will makes him feel guilty.
(Or; In the oncoming apocalypse, Mike and Will are forcibly 'buddied up' with Robin and Steve. It gets worse before it gets better.)

“I won’t tell him,” she says softly. “Any of them. About any of it.”
Will looks up with surprise. “Why?” he asks.
Nancy just gives a tight smile, but in her eyes, something deeper brews. “You keep my secret, and I’ll keep yours,” she responds.
Will doesn’t really understand much about Nancy Wheeler at all. But Will’s happy to be her secret keeper, so he nods.
OR,
At the end of the world, makeshift living arrangements push the unexpected together, and a new Byers-Wheeler alliance forms.

Summary
"For one," Mike sighs, propping onto one elbow to look at Will properly, "Holly definitely has a crush on you."
Will squints, just barely, lips curling up in amusement. It takes Mike an excruciatingly long time to detect what exactly Will thinks of this matter, but what comes out is soft, mellow, and not particularly to Mike’s enjoyment: "That's kind of cute."
“It is not,” Mike hisses, and Will shoots him a grin. “She always talks about you, always giggles whenever you talk to her, and because she's like, incredibly adorable, and you’re so good with kids, I'm going to be trailing behind you guys like an absolute loser because she totally hogs you.”
"Wait," Will blurts, brows drawing close. "Are you jealous?"
Mike Wheeler is many things, but he is never jealous.
Except — maybe this time he is.

Summary
The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.
It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.
or
After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.

“You said I was bad at managing my time between my girlfriend and my best friend but you’re basically doing the same thing.”
“Girlfriend?!” Will spits out, thoroughly shell-shocked.
“I don’t get it! You could’ve told me you had a crush on someone, I would’ve—and when did you ever talk to Robin? You move to California and all of a sudden you’ve got all these girls hanging off of you and you’re interested in older girls—“ Mike’s voice embarrassingly cracks. He decides to quit while he’s ahead before he delves into the forbidden.
In the wake of the apocalypse, Mike and Will find their way to each other.

Summary
Having lived in exile from the citadel since he was twelve, Will knows well the necessity of having a daily schedule: wake up early, gather materials, make tinctures and poultices for clients, take care of the garden, and never use magic when your hands will do just fine. These are the tasks he lives by until one ordinary day when he wakes up late, and it all spins out of control. He goes to the garden in the evening, far past his usual time, and finds an unwelcome visitor stealing his food and flowers. It only gets worse when he learns this man has been visiting every night for the past several months, unbeknownst to Will, and his eyes look just a little too familiar.
And once it becomes clear his unwelcome guest isn't going to stop his nightly visits anytime soon, Will is forced to choose between pretending as if they're strangers or divulging the peculiar past they share, between wearing a mask and allowing the truth to be told.
