    Summary

    Mike and Will have been together for a couple of years, even when distance made loving each other difficult. Will lives in Lenora Hills, California. Mike lives in Hawkins, Indiana. Somehow, they make it work.

    In the spring of 1990, Will comes home to Hawkins, and like most teens in love, their actions become reckless. By summer, Mike is placed in a position. A pregnant omega whose family head alpha is rejecting his unborn pup.

    So Mike runs.

    With only some cash, dreams, and clothes that he stole from friends and left behind by Will, he makes his way to California in the hopes of making it to the Byers' residence before his baby is born. Mike is willing to do everything he can to achieve that dream, because for once he wants to be the one to write the ending of his campaign.

    Even though there is a chance that there won't be a single waterfall.

    Summary

    When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.

    Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."

    He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?

    Summary

    Will moves back to an upright position, wiping his hair out of his eyes, head and shoulders peeking above the water. “Mike,” he says, pulling Mike up with him, their fingers still intertwined.

    “Yeah?” Mike says, tilting his head so the water trickles out of his ears, wincing slightly. “What is it?”

    Will’s eyes dart back and forth between his, and then Mike feels his hand squeeze his own. “I don’t want you to, like, think I moved back for you,” he starts, which in and of itself would be enough to get Mike’s soul soaring straight out of his own body, if it weren’t for Will’s thumb pressed against his pulse point like some kind of mortal tether. “Because it’s not like that, I promise. But I think– I think I realized there’s a difference between things you want and things you need, you know?”

    mike wheeler on losing people and having them again, the difference between wanting and needing, and finally letting go.

    Summary

    Will Montgomery-Byers is getting really tired of these nightmares.

    Every month of the anniversary, without fail, Will gets nightmares. It’s been, what, seven years since it all started? Seven since it started, and three since it ended. He’s moved on—he really has. At this point, it’s just annoying.

    But no matter how annoying it may be, he still wakes up screaming.

    For a moment, he wakes up to the Upside Down—everything’s blue and abandoned and terrifying. At this point, he knows it’s not real, but the sight still terrifies him nonetheless.

    His voice comes out trembling, cracking. “Mike…?”

    OR

    Mike and Will's sophomore year at NYU is going as well as expected--with a few exceptions, of course, because what are their lives without exceptions?

    The sequel to my finale rewrite Smalltown Boy.
