Summary
“Did you really freak out?” Will asks. Mike startles hard enough to just…stand up, and it has the upside of accomplishing that wider smile. “Are you alright, Mike?”
“Yeah,” Mike says, “m’fine. Just- just really glad you’re here. It wouldn’t be the same without you. Hawkins never is, y’know?”
“Yeah,” Will says, “I know.”
It's spring break 1990, and none of Mike's friends know he's still a virgin.

Summary
Will’s body is heavy as Mike drags him out of the quarry.
His lungs are burning and feel too small altogether, unable to hold any of the air he is trying to force into them. He can feel Will's hands slipping up his chest, the limp body sliding lower against his back. Mike hoists him up again, readjusting his grip. His nails dig into the other boys’ wrists a little tighter, breaking the soft and pale skin.
They are getting closer to the shore, Mike figures. His thoughts are sluggish, coming slow and hard to grasp. He only knows that he must get them out, the need to tend to Will growing, more urgent and all encompassing, entire body thrumming Will Will Will with every step he takes towards the bank.
The other boy is an increasingly grave weight on his back. Mike never wants to stop carrying it.
or: mike and will on their final mission in the upside-down. will experiences the horrors and falls off the cliff; mike, naturally, jumps after him.

Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
Mike was missing again.
Not on purpose – at least, that’s what he would claim when someone inevitably tracked him down, because they would find him, even there, sitting high above Sattler Quarry with his legs dangling over the edge of the cliff he’d jumped from all those years ago. He’d woken up that morning with his bedsheets wrapped around his legs and his skin slick with sweat, the phantom-cold fingers of a nightmare still tangled in the folds of his brain leaving frostbite streaks in their wake as they reluctantly retreated to wait for the next time exhaustion won over his will, and he was on his bike pedaling away from the house as fast as his legs would let him with nothing but the clothes on his back when the sun was still only a thought hovering below the horizon.
It wasn’t like he enjoyed making them worry, but the idea of biking back home felt impossible, and he didn’t trust himself to stand and drag his feet away from the cliff’s edge rather than shuffling the mere few inches further to plummet once again, only this time with no one to magically save him partway down.
OR Will finds Mike on a cliff at the quarry, getting eaten alive by his guilt, and they talk.

Summary
The first thing Will notices when he wakes up is the throbbing headache that follows a night of too much drinking.
The second thing Will notices is the dull ache in his lower back. The sensation is not unfamiliar – Will has had sex plenty of times to recognize it.
Which leads to the third thing Will notices.
This is not his bed.
And the fourth thing?
The body lying next to him is very much not his boyfriend.
Will and Mike have a night out and accidentally cheat on their partners.
