Summary
"Can I even stop?" The tears smarting in Mike's eyes came halfway from frustration, half pure despair. "I mean, what if being homophobic is like being gay? What if I can't control it?"
Mike could feel Max's disbelief through the cellphone. "That's really not—" and she paused, sighing loudly. Mike could genuinely hear her facepalm. "Jesus Christ, Mike. Do you want to be an ally or not?"
After freaking out on Will for kissing a guy, Mike turns to Max for help. Max helps him out, in her own meddling way.

Summary
Mike would do anything for Will. Would he die for Will?
(Or; While exploring the Hawkins church, Will's mind falls under Henry's control. Mike does all he can to bring Will back.)

Summary
Will's never been in a situation worse than this. How's he going to spend the next few months with Steve Harrington, resident douchebag of Hawkins?
Mike's never been in a situation more infuriating than this. How's he going to spend the next few months alongside Robin Buckley without strangling her?
Robin has never seen two teenagers more head-over-heels for each other than Mike and Will. Can they just get their heads out of the sand already?
Steve has never been more nervous around a teenage boy. Something about Will makes him feel guilty.
(Or; In the oncoming apocalypse, Mike and Will are forcibly 'buddied up' with Robin and Steve. It gets worse before it gets better.)

Summary
It's not that Mike wants Will to be a girl, but if he were, their lives would be so much easier.
(Or; during a game of truth or dare, Will ends up in El's clothing. Mike can't help but notice how similar they are.)

Summary
There's something wrong with Hawkins, and Will can feel it.
Yeah, okay— so there's always been something wrong with Hawkins. But even this, Will thinks, is teetering on the edge between wrong and plain fucking crazy.
Holly’s found a new friend in an invisible man who gives her invisible toys. Nancy keeps looking at Will like she wants him dead, or maybe just out of her house. All the animals in Hawkins are acting more like possessed statues than actual animals, and Will keeps hearing a raspy, unsettling voice that seems to think he has some sort of power.
As for Mike, Will doesn't even want to think about him, because the guy is driving Will mad. And the bar for Mike making Will crazy is practically in hell, so that should say something.
Oh, right. Did he not mention the sleepwalking?
(Or; Will’s started hearing from a certain someone— think blonde hair, unnerving smile, limb-snapping tendencies— who thinks he has a certain power. Holly’s started hearing from a man who wants to take her to Wonderland.)

Summary
“Whoa ,” Mike says, voice hoarse and writhed with sleep, grasping the arm of Will’s sweater with impressive force, in his dream-like quality. Will doesn’t remember when he began slipping off the side of the roof. “Will, — Will,” Mike murmurs, and Will melts at the sheer familiarity of his name on Mike’s mouth, “come inside. You’ll hurt yourself.”
His heels won't move from where they’ve dug into the roof, despite Mike’s persistent tugging. All at once, he’s washed over with guilt. He shouldn’t be here. He’ll hurt him.
“Please,” Mike adds, the single syllable addictive and slow, like honey.
It’s embarrassing how fast Will folds.
Will wakes from a nightmare on the other side of town. He finds going home is easier said than done.

Summary
He didn’t really understand why someone would want to go to a cemetery for a birthday party, but hey, maybe Will was a bit of a weird kid.
“Hey Will.” Mike called, his voice gentler than he had ever heard it.
He whipped his head around, scanning the rows for another figure, desperately looking for Will. It didn’t really click until Mike stepped forward and knelt beside a grave, placing his perfectly imperfect cake in front of a well-kept headstone.
Oh.
Will Byers is dead.
So how the hell did he end up stuck haunting Mike Wheeler's basement?

Summary
It was a memory, Mike realized, his fingers smoothing over the arm of his basement couch. Probably a pretty old one, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on which. Was it before that November, or after? His eyes were heavy, the room around him fogged up like an unfocused camera lens and washed to sepia. He couldn’t make out enough detail to date it past the nebulous timestamp of sometime, ages ago. It felt like home regardless.
“Will?” a voice whispered into the umber gloom.
Or; Mike has a dream.

Summary
Jonathan makes it all of five steps before it all goes wrong.
Behind him, Will says, “Mike?”
Mike does not reply. Jonathan glances over his shoulder, mid-step, and pulls up short in confusion at what he sees. Mike is still by the van where the darkness is deepest, his white t-shirt dappled with darker shadows, standing stock-still. Unnervingly still. Stiller than Jonathan has ever seen him. No bouncing leg, no tapping finger, no nothing; he’s just standing there, staring down at his blood-covered hands in a faraway sort of fascination.
His wet blood-covered hands.
(or, jonathan's always known mike is willing to do a lot for his little brother. he just never understood exactly how much.)

Summary
"So," Max says, twisting her braid around one hand and arching an eyebrow. "What is in it for you, then? I know I'm not the highest ranking princess you met with."
This is it. Nerves of steel. You've got this. Choke now and you jeopardize everything. "I like you," he says truthfully, and she squints at him disbelievingly. "You're- spunky, I suppose. I think I could trust you."
She frowns. "Trust me with what?"
Now or never. "Hypothetically," Will says, spreading his palms against his knees and trying his best to control his erratic heartrate, "How- open of a marriage would you be okay with?"
Being a prince isn't everything it's cracked up to be, but Will tries to make the most of it.
