    Summary

    “Are you happy to be back home?” Mike asks, something quiet and vulnerable in his voice.

    Will doesn’t know why he hesitates. Yes, is the first thought that comes to mind, except that’s not exactly true. It’s hard being happy back in Hawkins when the Upside Down is so close. It’s even harder being happy back in Hawkins when Will really doesn’t feel like he has a place here anymore.

    And yet, when he looks to his right and takes in everything about Mike—the splatter of freckles like a constellation on his face, the familiar softness in his eyes that’s joined now by a hesitancy and uncertainty, the bright red tint of his lips from tearing the lid off Will’s cherry slurpee and finishing it without a straw—the answer is so very simple.

    Yes, Will thinks again. I am happy to be home.

    Then:

    I’m just happy to be with you again.

    Or:

    The seasons change, and Will… he’s changing too.

    But maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

    Summary

    When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.

     

    OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    “Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”

    Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”

    Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”

    The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.

    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.
