    Summary

    Mike leaves Hawkins on a quest to escape his writing slump and meet new inspiration. What better place to do so than New York? Surely it has nothing to due with the fact that will byers is there, right?

    in other words

    Mike is Homotron 3000 and not even the so-called "canon" ending will convince me otherwise.

    Summary

    “Come on,” Will tries. Mike keeps his head looking away across the street. Staring right at the Sinclair’s house. His jaw clenches at the sight, even though he sees the house everyday. “Mike, I know you, and you—”

    “You don’t know me,” Mike spits. Instinct makes him want to glare at Will, but that means looking at him. “And I have nothing to say to you.”

    He stands up. It’s only then that Will does the same.

    “Look, Mike, I’m sorry,” Will blurts out. It makes Mike’s heart skip a beat in his chest before his heart remembers that it has no business doing that over Will Byers.

    Or,

    April 1993 in Hawkins means that Mike has to confront a lot more than just the death of Ted Wheeler.

    Summary

    This time there were no waterworks. Ellie watched as her dad stared, almost in awe, at the stage, eyes layered with so many emotions at once. Regret, but also love, and on top of all that was some extra layer that looked resigned. Tired, with a hint of acceptance.

    Holy shit. Did he know what the song was about?

    The singular tear in the corner of his eye said enough. He definitely did.

    Holy.

    Shit.
    -------
    In which Mike's future daughter is obsessed with Conan Gray and drags him to see Found Heaven on Tour. Little does she know he will have a series of epiphanies leading to reuniting with his childhood best friend.
