Summary
The point is, Mike is pretty much content with going to the grave with his secret.
Or, at least, he used to think so, because, truthfully, foolishly, selfishly—
Will is smiling, his face flushed a lovely red, as he leans the slightest bit into her, with that soft carelessness that speaks of intimacy. On his side, too close to him, Robin Buckley shares a long look with him until they start giggling again, leaning against each other.
Mike hadn't contemplated the possibility of Will getting a girlfriend.
Or, Mike is jealous of Robin.

Summary
“We’re supposed to be a team.”
Mike’s hand falls from the door knob. Instinctively, he takes a step back, and he turns back around. The door closes gently behind him, and Mike stares at his boyfriend in surprise and in confusion. “What?”
“We’re supposed to be a team,” Will repeats, his voice trembling yet still a bit angry. His eyes are narrowed at Mike—defensive but still on guard, wounded but still ready to fight.
It’s familiar. Somehow, the two of them always end up like this.
Or:
A year after the Upside Down’s destruction, Will and Mike are in what their friends like to call their “honeymoon phase.” But when a new problem arises and puts strain on their relationship, the two of them must learn what it truly means to work together as a team and to love each other well.

Summary
“How long have you even known?”
Jonathan’s mouth opened, closed, then opened again. “Known?”
Will’s sigh was sharp, frustrated. “You know what I’m talking about, Jonathan.”
Jonathan’s brows raised slightly. He wasn’t falling for Will’s games, and Will wasn’t falling for his.
And now they were really gonna talk about it.
“…Okay. Fair enough.” Jonathan exhaled. “You’re right. I might have an idea.”
Will’s attention snapped to him, surprised at the quick admission.
Jonathan lightly brushed Will’s watch that he knew matched Mike’s. “But I want you to say it, in case I’m wrong.”
The drive back to Hawkins we never saw pre-S4 epilogue, in which Jonathan and Will talk for real -

Summary
Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.
“Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.
“Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”
Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

Summary
"You’re a virgin,” Gideon said, testing it out. "Huh."
Harrow didn’t like the sound of that huh. She knew Gideon’s noises, and that was a thoughtful, sinister huh. That was the same huh she’d made before putting canned tuna in Crux’s work boots.
Her eyes narrowed. “What.”
Gideon cocked her head to the side. “Is there a reason you’re waiting?” There was no judgement in the question— only genuine curiosity.
Perhaps it was this that made Harrow more inclined to answer. “I don’t have the time to look for someone new,” She shrugged. “And my available pool is… somewhat limited.”
“Well,” Gideon said, with just a hint of conspiracy in those glittering golden eyes. “If you ever want to change that, you have my number.”
What? What?
Harrow blinked. “What?”
Or: the five times Gideon and Harrow successfully bone, and the one time they don't.

Summary
"I think we're both idiots," Mike grins, and Will still feels breathless, because he is beautiful, Mike Wheeler is so beautiful, and Will loves him. He is far past the stages of puppy crush, of contained affection, of childhood yearning; he loves Mike Wheeler, fully and with all that his heart has to offer.
Or, Will's arc in S5 vol 2 if a gay person actually wrote it. (Will does not come out to everyone and their moms. He and Mike have a heart-to-heart.)

Summary
“Forever?”
Though the camera doesn’t catch it, Joyce and Jonathan exchange an amused look over the rearview.
Then, the footage splices, rapidly cutting through various points in life—Will and Mike’s first time hanging out at the Byers’; Mike coming over for Will’s birthday; Will coming over for Mike’s. Flashes of middle school that stretched into those final days before they left for Lenora. High school, graduation, moving day—the clips start blurring into one another as more pop up, but it stops on a clip of Mike and Will, probably around six years old, giggling as they try to handle the camera.
“We’ll see about forever, honey.”
(or, the one where jonathan byers has a lot of stocked up video footage from when mike and will were kids, and decides that the best time to reveal them is during his best man speech at their wedding.)

Summary
“I’m still- I’m still connected.” He continues, whispering in terror. “I can still feel him, Mike. He’s still there. I can’t get him out- I can’t-”
Mike presses his forehead to Will’s temple once again, eyes squeezed shut.
“I’ve got you.” Mike whispers. “You’re not alone. You’re not alone in this. I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere. He doesn’t get to have you, not ever.”
Will buries his face weakly into Mike’s shoulder and sobs, body curling in on itself. And Mike holds him tighter.
Will’s physical body is held captive by Vecna in the Upside Down Hawkins Church, and Mike goes to save him before anyone else could.

Summary
Mike hears Will come out and spirals.
He knows the battle they're going into isn't one they might walk out of. Mike has been hiding for so long, but it seems it only made him miss the chance he had with Will.
Maybe it's time to finally stop pretending. And maybe once he does, Mike the Brave can finally take stage too.Or: A fluffy finale fix-it, where Mike confesses his feelings to Will while they climb on the tower, and I give others a happy ending too.

Summary
“I’m really proud of you.” Mike blurted out, breaking the silence between them with a voice that was just a touch too loud; it startled Will, making him jump back before he relaxed. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be that loud.”
“It’s okay.” Will reassured him, it wasn’t Mike’s fault that he jumped any time there were loud voices.
He thought about what Mike had just said; he could take a guess on what Mike was referring to—it wasn’t like it was rocket science. A giddy feeling rose up in him, one he did his best to squash down; he didn’t know why, but he liked the idea of Mike being proud of him; it felt like he did something right, which was probably stupid. “Proud of me?”
While in the Upside Down, on their climb up the Radio Tower to The Abyss, Mike and Will stop for a break and they have a very different conversation then the one in the show.
AKA: What the Radio Tower Scene should have been.

Vecna stood still, hand raised, palm up. Dark shadows gathered around him, slowly taking form into an eight-headed monstrosity, an unearthly screeching filling the air.
“I cast Protection,” Will breathed.
“What?”
“Instead of Fireball.”

Summary
“I can see just fine,” Will snaps. He doesn’t even want to have this conversation with Mike in the first place. If he did, it would’ve been a long time ago. “Why do you even care?”
“Why do I—” Mike splutters. “Because I care, Will! I care about you.”
Honestly — what was Mike expecting? That the past month didn’t happen? That they aren’t being weird again? The end of a literal apocalypse did more harm to their friendship than good, apparently, and it’s not something either of them can ignore.
Or,
The world is no longer ending. Half of them have moved into the WSQK. Max is learning how to walk again, Mike is hanging out with Robin Buckley, of all people, and Will—
—still hasn’t told anyone that he can’t see out of his eye.

“Hopper doesn’t know I’m gay.”
Jonathan squinted at him, mind prone to lag in the morning. “Why would Hopper not know? You told us as clearly as you could without using the word—”
“He was already on the way to Radio Shack,” Will said in a rush. He gripped his bag tighter so his arms wouldn’t start to flail with panicky emphasis. “He wasn’t there when I came out.”
