Summary
“Come on,” Mike argues. “Think of it like… a test drive. You’ll get the full Mike Wheeler boyfriend experience. It’s miserable! You’ll be over me in no time!”
They only have one last summer before they go off to college, and Will is sick of keeping his cards so close to his chest. So, in a fit of alcohol-induced bravery, he tells Mike everything.
Instead of breaking his heart, Mike proposes a deal: they’ll date for the summer. Get Mike out of Will’s system, show him he makes for a lousy boyfriend anyway, and make sure there aren’t any what-ifs waiting for him in New York.
No stone left unturned, after all.
Or: Summer brings clouds, nostalgia, and the all-consuming fear of change. They deal with it.

Summary
Will Byers returns to Hawkins when his mother, finally stable, asks him to come back for good. Starting his third year of high school in a town that is both familiar and completely different, Will has to relearn where he fits.
He reconnects with Lucas and is pulled into his circle, Dustin, Max, and Mike Wheeler who also happens to be a vampire.
Max grinned. "He seems like a baby type to me. Mike."
Will groaned into his open locker before swinging it shut and turning to face her. "That's so basic. Love at least sounds nice."
"Beloved, honestly," Dustin said, from directly beside Will's other shoulder, where he had apparently been standing. "You're both severely underestimating his corniness. Beloved is completely within range."
"Beloved is not corny," Will said, and then before anything in him could intervene: "He called me angel once."

Summary
"Need a light?" MJ looks down at the joint in Will's hands, confused.
"Oh, right now?" Will startles, looking at the door handle.
"Are you always this jumpy? Man, you really need this, huh? C'mere." Will hesitates. MJ sighs, reaching for the joint in Will's lap and feeding it to him.
He sparks the lighter and holds it to the end of the freshly rolled joint. Will watches his eyes on the flame, unsure what to do next. "Breathe in." MJ demands through an airy laugh, waiting for the end of the joint to glow before leaning back in his seat.

Mike watches them pray for salvation.
They can’t all be saved.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is a mess. Nearly thirty years old, a closeted virgin, and secretly in love with his childhood best friend. What better way to turn things around than to spend his thirtieth birthday with the Party playing D&D? When Will casts an overpowered Zone of Truth spell, Mike fears the campaign is over. Except the spell doesn't target the NPC holding the key to victory—Mike is the affected creature.
What starts as an innocent evening filled with adventure quickly devolves into a humiliating display of lust as Mike answers the Party's questions about his sexual preferences and his feelings for a certain someone. Even worse, he comes to find that Will is more than happy to get him alone to continue the interrogation.
or
“Let’s roll for it.”
“I already have to tell you the truth if you ask,” Mike says.
“True,” Will smiles. “But this is more fun, right? A proper persuasion check?”
“Okay,” Mike breathes out. “I’m- I’m still the DM, so… You roll for persuasion. Let’s say the Difficulty Class is ten. That’s fair, right?”
It might as well be a five, hell, maybe even a two. Mike’s too eager, too fucking desperate to not be persuaded by any suggestion of his.

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
