    Summary

    If there was one thing Dan knew for certain, it was that he would never tire of watching Phil dance.

    If there was one thing their audience thought they knew for certain, however, it was that every single week, Dan was impartial at best.

    Well. Their audience, save for a small minority.

    or;

     

    Dan is a judge on the popular dance competition show Strictly Come Dancing. Phil is a professional dancer on the same show.

    Their audience is convinced they are something more.

    They're not exactly wrong.

    He adds the kiss on the end in a moment of impulse, hitting send immediately after in yet another.

    or;

     

    After a traumatic break-up, Dan vows to never return to Manchester. When, years later, he decides to move back there, he starts to remember why he stayed away - or rather who he stayed away from.

    Summary

    The first thing Dan notices when he wakes up is his hair.

    More specifically, the lack of it.

    And, okay, listen. He knows he's just had a haircut, and maybe his new mullet style would take a little bit of getting used to, but something about it just feels… wrong.

    or;

     

    When Dan and Phil wake up in an alternate universe as their punk selves, the last thing they expect is for it to somehow be Phil's doing. Given the situation (and Phil's almost complete lack of knowledge regarding how to fix it), they decide to have some fun.

    Summary

    "I'm Phil, by the way," He says, when his brain finally remembers how to interact with other human beings. "I just bought this building today, so I guess I'm your neighbour now?"

    The man smiles. "Nice to meet you, Phil."

    He holds out a hand for Phil to shake. Phil is so normal about this.

    "I'm Dan."

    Phil takes in a slightly shakier breath than he had hoped for. He shakes his hand for a perfectly respectable amount of time. He is so fine right now. So fine and normal.

    or;

     

    When Phil moves his budding floristry business into the building next to a tattoo parlour, he can't help but feel a little out of place - at least until he meets the man who owns it.

    Summary

    "I… yeah. Sorry, don't know what happened there," Dan laughs, embarrassed.

    "S'okay," Phil says. "You didn't make me do CPR, so I can't complain."

    Dan pauses.

    "Would you?"

    Phil pauses, too.

    "Would I what?"

    "Complain."

    or;

    Dan and Phil are lifeguards at the same pool. The tension can only go so long unresolved.

    Summary

    Dan feels himself blush. "Thank you. I mean, uh- you're welcome. Or- yeah. Thank you."

    Phil giggles - actually fucking giggles - and turns to leave.

    Dan feels like he's been set on fire.

    His skin feels like it's burning, his heart beating so hard it might burst right out of his ribcage.

    "Smooth," PJ says from beside him, and up until that exact moment, he'd honestly forgotten he was there.

    "Shut up."

    or;

    One week, Phil becomes a semi-regular customer at the coffee shop Dan owns and works at.

    Dan is all too aware that Phil is trying to make a move. Phil is, respectively, the opposite.

    Summary

    "It's just..." He takes a deep breath, trying to transform his thoughts into at least somewhat coherent sentences. Mike waits, patiently, eyes never leaving Will's face. "Do you ever feel like... I don't know, like we missed out?"

    Mike squints his eyes slightly, but it's not judgemental. "Missed out on what?"

     

    OR

     

    Will takes a trip down memory lane. Rather than getting caught up in what could've been, he decides him and Mike deserve to make some new memories - together.

    Summary

    The first time Will had been possessed, it had made itself apparent immediately.

    It had literally ripped the air from his lungs, choked him with its presence as it fought its way into gaining control of his body.

    This is probably why, as he desperately sought shelter from the completely average Indiana summer heat, feeling as if his flesh was being torn away from his very bones, Will realised two things.

    First, he didn't know as much as he thought he did.

    Second, he was possessed. Again.

     

    OR

     

    Will is possessed again, and Mike can't find it within himself to hurt him to save his own life.

    Summary

    Flickering lights were something Mike had grown to despise over the past few years.

    Turns out, with enough practice and a series of unpredictable situations, he might even learn to love them.

     

    OR

     

    Will Byers has powers, and they seem to like Mike as much as he does.

    Summary

    Mike knows he made some not-great decisions, and he knows far too well of the distance it put between him and Will. He also knows Will would forgive him in a heartbeat, and when things get rough, Mike is so glad he was right.

     

    OR
    Will has a nightmare, and Mike helps him through it, wondering how many times Will has needed his help when he wasn't there.
