Summary
“Just answer the question!” El stands up straight, not losing eye contact.
“Or what? You're gonna beg me to say it again?” He tries to reflect her posture, but that only lasts two seconds before he trips to the side, again.
“Begged you–” She sighs surprised "Mike, I'm not begging you to say it! I want you to be honest with me..."
──────♡──────
Mike broke up with El and had a fight with Will. Now, he doesn’t know what to do with himself and all these feelings... So he gets drunk.

Summary
Mike’s hand rested on Will’s shoulders, causing zero reactions from the boy standing in front of him. His heart quicked as he took glances between his best friend and the few feet away they both were at the gate. “You’re not thinking, are you?”
The next few words out of Will's mouth was the last thing he wanted to hear. “What if it’s the only way?”
✥------- † -------✥
Will is gone, but Mike is not gonna rest until he has him back.

Summary
As soon as it closes he looks over at the mirror again and completely freezes.
What was supposed to be his reflection is now replaced by another figure. White wide eyes. Red long hair. Clothes full of blood and dirt. Furrowed eyebrows. An expression of complete fear and panic in her face.
Will is sure he’s staring at the face of Max Mayefield right now.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
It's the end of the world again. Hawkins is in the eye of the storm and things start to get even more complicated when Will Byers begins having suspicious hallucinations.

Summary
We break apart for a second when Will manages to whisper "Mike."
It already hit him where I’m going with this. But his voice is just so fucking hot when we're kissing, his lips swallowing in red, I can't resist but to reconnect our lips to make him even breathless.
Will brings a hand up to my cheek, resistantly pulling me back to say "Your parents are home."
I bring a hand down to unbolt the first bottom of his flannel "So?"

Just a random day up in Mike's bedroom

Summary
It's 1997 and the ghost of Mike Wheeler walks back into Will Byers' life twice in one day: first in a Midtown coffee shop, then as the writer assigned to his graphic novel. Eight years of awkward distance now have a deadline. Collaboration is a special kind of torture when the person you're building a world with is the one who broke yours.

Summary
“And I guess… I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m sorry,” Mike says, and he scoots closer to Will, knee brushing against Will’s own. “I’m sorry that I let you deal with all this shit alone, and I’m sorry I didn’t see what was happening or what I was doing, and I’m sorry I hurt you, Will. But… but most of all…
Will’s heart pounds, and he waits with nervous anticipation, hanging onto Mike’s every word. “I’m sorry I was too late,” Mike whispers, tears welling in his eyes. “That… that I was too late for us.”
Or:
The one in which Will and Mike fall apart before they fall back together.

Summary
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
"Chance bit the inside of his lip. Truthfully, part of him believed Jason’s Hellfire theory was a desperate story fueled by the grief of losing Chrissy, but the more Chance watched Hawkins fall apart, literally, the more he felt his old logic snap into place. Maybe Jason had been right, the town had a wound and something crawled out of it, something that hid in plain sight. Chance didn’t believe in revenge, the Bible says justice belonged to God or the law. But, if there really was an evil in this town, wouldn’t it be just as evil to do nothing about it? To let it happen?"
OR
After losing two of his friends in the Hawkins “earthquake,” Chance joins a church grief group that believes Will Byers is the vessel for Satan. To prove them wrong, Chance agrees to befriend Will, but the closer he gets, the more the lines between faith, fear, obsession and love start to blur.

Summary
Will doesn’t have anything to lose anymore, and Mike can’t lose him. The two go hurtling towards an inevitable precipice where the only option might be to go tumbling down together, limbs grappling for each other, flesh melding, and heartbeats syncing in time.
OR
Will’s composure cracks and beats up their middle school bully, finishing the job Mike started. :)
