Summary
Before he can really think about it, Mike blurts, “You’re excited to — to kiss boys in New York, then?”
It takes Will a second. “What is wrong with you.”
“What—” Mike’s mouth is moving faster than his brain— “what did I do?”
“You’re being weird! Did you ask Dustin if he was looking forward to kissing MIT girls?”
“No, but that’s — that’s different!”
“Different how?”
“I — I don’t know, ok! It just is.”
When Will moves away to go to college in New York, Mike deals with it in the best ways he can: moping, reading, weekly letters to Will, and a sexuality crisis. Cue chaos.

Summary
“Just think about it, William," Henry continues, likely after he's decided Will has ruminated on this for an appropriate amount of time. "All the things we could do together. We could build a new world, clean up the muck in the one that exists. No one has to get hurt. Think about it. I’ll be waiting for your answer.”
Henry’s arm lurches out in front of him, and all Will can do is stare in horror as one bony finger moves in towards his forehead. His eyes squeeze shut as a fingernail breaches his skin, and his vision goes white, then black.
“Will?”
That is definitely not Henry’s voice.
It's 1987, the Upside Down is infiltrating Hawkins, and Will's new home is Mike Wheeler's basement. As if that isn't bad enough, Will starts having odd dreams. At least, he thinks they're just dreams -- but if they're only dreams, why is he waking up in the Wheeler's front yard?

Summary
“Mike?” A voice that sounds a lot like Nancy’s shouts through the speaker, even though it’s hard to tell with Steve’s raucousness and the tin of the walkie and the hazardous quality to maybe-Nancy’s voice. “Um — something’s happening—”
The walkie dies out again, and Mike really cannot handle any of this right now. He rams down the button and yells,“What, Nancy, what?” Rationally he knows that panicking is the worst thing to do in a situation like this, but after the past few years of everything, how could he not panic?
“It’s Will, he’s not — he’s not moving.”
Or: While Mike and Lucas are out on a mission to spy on the military's scheduled gate burning, something happens to Will, and Mike may or may not have a few revelations.

Summary
“The whole time I was with her, I kept imagining she was…someone different. Someone who was easy to be with. We could just…sit in silence and still be happy. Because we understand each other so well.”
A sick coil forms in Will’s stomach. They’re already like this. Just ten minutes ago they were each doing their own thing a few feet apart, and they were both content. But obviously Mike isn’t talking about him, because Mike doesn’t…like him like that.
In one blink, Mike is still splayed along the bed, and in another, he’s suddenly upright, suddenly very close to Will. Startled, Will reels back, his spine pressed into a knob on Mike’s headboard. Mike’s eyes are wild and crazed as he stares strangely at Will; Will’s are wide and confused as he stares back.
“You know what I mean, right?” Mike says carefully. Now that they’re within arms reach, he wraps a hand gently around Will’s ankle, just above his sock and below the end of his jeans, bare skin on bare skin.
Or: Mike is acting strange, and Will can't figure out why. When he learns it's because Mike is freshly single, Will does his best to be supportive and not at all weird about it. He's doomed.

Summary
“Brought some lunch for my favorite dongsaeng.” He rests his chin in his hand, watching Zhang Hao prod at the sandwich. Is it weird that he doesn’t want to eat it? He’d rather stick it in the fridge like a trophy until it goes bad.
“What about us?” Ricky deadpans. His eyes are narrowed in obvious distaste. Gyuvin tries to muffle a laugh, but, as is true with most things Gyuvin does, it is not subtle.
“Ah.” Hanbin’s gone a little stiff as he looks back at Ricky. Whatever glimmer he had in his eye when looking at Zhang Hao has glazed over into something neutral. “Sorry. I only brought one.”
Zhang Hao, as the leader of rookie group Blueming, diligently dedicates himself to making sure the group is under control and out of trouble at all times. This is all ruined with a chance encounter with Sung Hanbin.

u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]
Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

Summary
William got to his feet and turned around, prayer book clutched to his chest. Michael was standing in the center of the chapel, obviously just come from sparring practice. He was still wearing his dented cuirass, a leather pauldron on his right shoulder. The moonlight through the stained-glass windows painted him in blue and gold.
“Forgot to leave your armor behind in the gymnasium?” asked William lightly, skirting around him to set the prayer book back in its tabernacle.
“Something like that,” said Michael. He stepped out of the shaft of light, joining William at the perimeter of the circular room.
William closed the ornate wooden door of the tabernacle and turned to face him. “How did you know I’d be here?”
“I know you,” Michael said simply. I love you, he might as well have said, for the way it sent William’s heart skittering inside his chest.
Michael has been betrothed to the princess since their infancy. But it’s her brother he really wants.

Summary
Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.
Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while.
It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.
Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler.
OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

Summary
“Mike,” Will had said to him, voice calm despite how hard it was for him to even make a sound. He didn’t try to sit up, but Mike wasn’t sure he could, even if he wanted to. “I need you to kill me.”
Mike shook his head, holding Will closer to his chest.
“Mike, please.” Will pleaded, closing his eyes against the light, or perhaps it was too much effort to keep them open. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t,” Mike whispered, surprised at how vulnerable he sounded, at the shake and utter defeat in his voice. “You won’t kill me, Will. Because we’re the same. We can’t hurt each other, even at the end of the world.”
;
It's been three years since the start of the zombie apocalypse and Mike is finally returning home. He discovers that not only is he not the sole survivor of Hawkins, but that his friends and sister are alive, too. As he begins to reconnect with them, the tension between them begins to increase, and Mike doesn't know how long he can stay with them.
Because while some of the group are more than happy to have him around, others don't like the company he keeps...
