Summary
During the 18-month time skip, Will Byers is plagued by nightmares. With the cold forcing him and Mike to share a room, maybe they’ll finally talk. Maybe they’ll fix what broke between them. And maybe—just maybe—Will can let go of his crush so they can go back to how they used to be.
It’s unlikely. But a boy can dream, right? -

Summary
Out of all people… him. Why does—out of all people in Hawkins—it has to be him who hears Mike. Why did he say all that? What if Will thinks he’s pathetic? What if he pities him?
He clutches the walkie, considers turning it on, then stops. “What if he regrets answering? What if I ruin whatever’s left?”
It’s stupid, isn’t it? After all, it’s Will. The same Will he was when they first met on the swings and Mike asked him to be his friend. But people change, don’t they?
——————
Vecna was defeated years ago. The party finished Highschool and was, sadly, growing apart.
It’s 1990 and Will finds his old walkie talkie. It’s 1990 and he turns it on, off, on again. It’s 1990 and he finally get’s his best friend back. After a year with almost no contact.
But what about his— Well, Will thinks, that has to be a problem for his future self.

Summary
“I’m sorry,”, Mike manages to whisper with a raspy voice. “I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise.”
The blue butterfly beats with his wings, once.
Hot tears are streaming down Mike’s face and he can’t stop himself from shaking again.
———————————
Will and Mike wanted do go through hell together. But apparently, it didn’t work out and all that’s left for Mike is a blue, beautiful butterfly and the memories of better days.

Summary
Mike wants to know who Will’s crush was. And how Will knows that this guy he had a crush on definitely wasn’t like him.
I can hold out some hope that the finale will address some of the obvious tension between Mike and Will. And if it doesn’t, here’s a fic to make it better.

Summary
Mike sighs, looking down at his hands. "I always thought I would end up with someone more similar to me, you know? Someone I can talk about, like, hobbies and music and stuff with, without them visibly losing interest halfway through.”
You have more in common with him than El, says the voice in Will’s head. He wonders, briefly, whether it would be weird to shove his face back into the pillow and scream.
Will is definitely not qualified to be giving out any relationship advice. For one, he's never actually dated anyone before. Second, one of the people in said relationship is his sister. And third, the other person is the guy he's sort of in love with. There's no possible way this could backfire. Right?
