Summary
There was a plan, if Lucas remembers correctly. Rescue the kids. Kill Vecna. Save the world. Done, done, and done.
And then there was another thing. A closing bullet point on the to-do list. He hasn’t stopped thinking about it. If anything, he’s thought more and more about it every second. To the point where it’s almost debilitating.
Like, there was a larger question, which is, Does Lucas Sinclair like boys, and while it’s hard to say for certain, the answer is really skewing yes lately. Everywhere he looks he’s noticing guys like they’re a brand-new species. It turns out Steve is hot, if you can get past the part where he’s basically been their glorified babysitter for several years. Dustin’s alright, but the mullet works against him as much as Mike getting rid of the mullet is working for him. Mostly, these are passing observations. Acknowledged and then dismissed. Whatever. Lucas thinks guys are hot now. Or always did and never noticed.
But there’s also a much narrower, more precise question, tapering off like an arrowhead, pointing directly at Will.

Summary
"It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."
"You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.
"Absolutely."
Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.
After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.
Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonverbal autistic, and Mike has allusions to also being autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

Summary
"What are you doing here?" Mike's face dropped as his eyes slid from El, past Max, and over to Will, "And what are you doing with them?"
"Shopping," El said with a blank expression on her face as Max smirked and added, "This is their new look, what do you think?"
"You know she's not allowed to be here. And Will, how could you just run off like that, we were worried!" Mike glared straight at Max despite the fact part of what he said was directed at Will.
"What are they, your little pets? El can't leave the cabin, and god forbid Will strays more than three feet from your shadow, despite the fact you were completely ignoring him!" Max snapped right back.
Or... A rewrite of Stranger Things starting at season 3 placing Will in El and Max's storyline, allowing Will to receive the support he needs to grow more confident in himself. Meanwhile, Mike considers what it might mean for him that he's more upset that his best friend ditched him to hang out with someone else, than he is about his girlfriend breaking up with him.
