    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au

    Summary

    Will Byers arrives in Hawkins for his wedding weekend already one minor inconvenience away from psychological collapse.

    Unfortunately for him, the wedding coordinator turns out to be Mike Wheeler: sarcastic, sleep-deprived, weirdly attractive, and emotionally perceptive enough to become a serious problem almost immediately.

     

    Or: five-star Midwest aristocracy, open-bar disasters, emotionally complicated candles, and one groom realizing perhaps too late that he might not be marrying the right guy.

    Summary

    When Will came out, he was relieved to be accepted by the people closest to him, especially Mike, and especially after Will made it clear to Mike that he was his crush. It was just a silly, stupid crush that really wasn’t about Mike at all. The best part is, Will got over it quickly, and they were able to laugh it off and remain friends. Things have been solid since he let those feelings go. That dumb high school bullshit is in the past. Their friendship is far too important to dwell on a crush that is doomed to be unreciprocated.

    Imagine Will’s surprise when he catches Mike in a Chicago gay bar making out with another man.

    Turns out, Mike is gay. So, what now? What is he supposed to do with this information? More importantly, what does that mean for them?

    Friends? No thanks.

    Best friends.

    Or: The one where Mike is gay and Will is in the Friend Zone the whole time as he helps Mike along his self-acceptance journey.

    Summary

    Two years after his husband’s death, Mike Wheeler lives quietly in a cliffside mansion with his eight year old daughter and more ghosts than he knows what to do with. He doesn’t talk about the past.

    Will Byers isn’t looking for love when he takes the live-in cook job at Rosecliff Manor. He's just trying to start over in a new town, with a new job and with the walls carefully built around his heart.

    Living under the same roof wasn’t supposed to mean anything.

    But grief recognizes grief.

    And sometimes healing looks a lot like falling in love.

    Summary

    “One more! Say, ‘prom with my best friend!’”

    Will’s ears heated. Mike must have told Holly about last night; she must have eavesdropped—

    “You little shit, just take the damn picture,” Mike said.

    “Say it,” she taunted them, “or no photo for you.”

    “Prom with my best friend,” they said, lying through their teeth as she snapped another.

    When the Polaroid slipped out Holly waved it in the air, fanning her smirking face. “Liars.
