Summary
It was April 7th, 1986. It was Mike's birthday, yet Will hadn’t seen him at all that day. He had left early in the morning, apparently. He was gone for breakfast and no one seemed to know exactly why. Will would be more concerned if this hadn’t already become a pattern for the last three days.

Summary
5 times Max and Mike hang out plus 2 where it's just Max.
Can be read as byler or mileven but that's because it specifically focuses on Max and Mike as friends (platonic soulmates madwheeler my belovedddd) and there really isn't any romance mentoned.
The chapters are gonna be pretty short lol
Series
- Part 1 of The World is Burning

Will gets a call from Mike at 2 am. It doesn't end well. I kinda just started writing this and now it's here. So. Read it if you like pain I guess.

Summary
“What’s wrong, Mike? Why are you scared? Isn’t this what you wanted?” Mike backed up from the bed. He couldn’t breathe. Tears beaded in his eyes. What on earth? Will got angrier. He shouted. “Isn’t this what you wanted?” His spit hit Mike’s cheek. He lunged for Mike, who just barely managed to dodge the hands reaching for him and ran around the bed to the door. He ripped it open and slammed it behind him, backing away slowly until he bumped into someone.

Mike gets Vecna'd in his dream. That is.. essentially it. Anyway, enjoy! -

Summary
Will froze for a second, staring at Mike. “Let's go to my room.” He stood up abruptly, hand still holding Mike's, and dragged Mike to his room. They stepped over and around their sleeping friends and quietly shut the door behind them.
“Will?” Mike wasn't sure what to ask. “What happened last night?”
Will bit at his lips and Mike failed at trying not to watch.
“Do you…” Will started. Mike's eyes met his. That look was back. Will has pretty eyes.
“Do you want me to remind you?”
...Mike got drunk at Stacey's party and doesn't remember much. Now he's not sure why he woke up at the Byers's house or why Will is looking at him odd.
Will did not get drunk at Stacey's party and remembers everything, including Mike telling him he didn't want to be Tammy.
Not beta read, we die like my expectations for the Stranger Things finale.
