Summary
PLEASE READ!
Hiiii! This is my first fic in a veeery long time and my first Stranger Things fic! The finale left me in SHAMBLESSSS, so i'm fixing that with sneaking around byler. And yes, the title is a Taylor Swift song. I feel like it fits them. (Also, if you haven't listened to cowboy like me, I recommend doing so! I make a lot of parallels to the song! Also, paintinggate is adressed!)
Important info: The first chapter is just a rewrite of the radio tower scene to give some context to the rest of the plot. The actual story takes place in the 18 months between the end of the finale and the epilogue. Also, El doesn’t die, Mileven is broken up, and Mike does not have that ugly ass haircut in this story. I won't allow it.
radio tower rewrite scene creds go to a drawing I saw by spookeart that inspired the ending of it!

Summary
Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.
Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.
Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

Summary
Apparently Mike and El are trying to “reignite the spark” by having a weekly date night. El had lit up enthusing about it, had broken into her piggy bank to get a new dress for the occasion.
Mike, for his part, hasn’t looked Will in the eye since the almost-thing had almost-happened.
And Will. Well, Will keeps drawing Mike’s stupid hands.AKA, Mike takes El out for date nights and is a perfect gentleman, and afterwards, he sneaks into Will's room to do less-than-gentlemanly things.
