Summary
The boy turns around, and Mike thinks he must be seeing things. Ghosts, maybe, because that would be the only rational explanation.
All he can do is stare directly at the boy standing before him.
A boy he used to know very well.
What the hell is Will Byers doing at Indiana University?
OR:

Summary
Will Byers wakes up in a familiar Hawkins, but this one thinks he disappeared five years ago.
In this reality, his boyfriend has a girlfriend, one of his best friends is dead, and they’re all fighting the monster that kidnapped him. Nobody believes he's who he says he is except the girl his boyfriend cheated on him with. Oh, and did he mention that girl is his sister?
Now, Will has to convince everyone that he’s not some creature wearing his face and find his way back to the life he remembers. Seems easy, right?
—
Mike Wheeler has been grieving Will Byers for 1,732 days. While most people accepted he was gone, Mike never did.
Has it been hard fighting monsters and trying to defeat the big bad? Sure. But it’s all worth it when Will walks back into his life like he never left.
This Will is different, though. He’s confident and strong, and comes from an alternate universe where jocks, theatre kids, and art nerds coexist. He also, for some reason, hates Mike.
Suddenly, the letters he wrote Will while he was gone feel too personal, and he gets flustered every time he’s around him. Is this a normal reaction to someone miraculously coming back to life? Yeah, probably...

Summary
Every moment counts in life. It can make or break whatever is at stake. So, let me ask, after Will's vision tells him of the demogorgon heading to the Wheeler house...
What if Nancy Wheeler decided to go alone to protect her family, without El?
What if she arrived earlier that expected?
What if Vecna decided to send her a surprise?
And what if a eldest daughter and a father perish that night?
Dead father, dead older sister, injured mother, and missing younger sister.
All that Mike Wheeler sees is red.
Fueled by the need to avenge his dad and Nancy, and rescue Holly, Mike sets on a warpath, and with the help of his friends, tries to find a way to kill Vecna once and for all and get rid of the Upside Down for good. All the while, Mike must deal with his rapidly growing feelings for Will Byers, who may or may not love him back that way.

Summary
Ten years after Hawkins, Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have built a life that feels almost unreal in its normalcy.
Chicago apartment, quiet mornings, paint-stained hands, and unfinished manuscripts.
When they return to Hawkins for a school reunion, it’s meant to be brief, harmless.
Just a visit.Little did they know, something was waiting for them.
As Hawkins collapses under an unnamed horror, the infection moves closer—through strangers, friends, family.
Through them.This time, there’s no escape. No closing the gate. No victory.
Only time ... and each other.As the symptoms begin—quiet, certain, irreversible—Mike makes a promise that neither of them can keep, but will never break:
“And if we go crazy… well ... I guess we’ll do that together too.”Bookmarked by Hera09

Summary
“Mike?” Will’s shoulders drop and relief floods through him when he catches sight of the curly black hair belonging to his best friend. The relief is short-lived. He’s standing facing away from Will and does not respond or turn to face him. Like he couldn’t hear Will at all.
Any words Will intended to say died right there and then in his throat. Turning to face Mike, it feels like his world shatters. There he is, Mike Wheeler, standing with his arms slack at his sides, his eyes rolled back in his head. Will’s ears begin to ring and he lets out something in between a sob and a scream. “Mike. MIKE” Will grabs hold of Mike’s shoulders and shakes him. Hard.

Mike was cursed by Vecna and none of the finale was real.
