    Summary

    Will Byers was twelve years old when the monster first came for him.

    When a young boy goes missing from a small Indiana town in the Fall of 1983, this once unsuspecting community is upended into chaos. Speculations fly, rumors spread---but who really knows what's true?

    The disappearance of William Byers lingers in the air, leaving the residents feeling uneasy. Bad things didn't happen in Hawkins.

    So when the boy returns three years later, the town is quick to hurl accusations.

    Is this a boy risen from the dead, or is he the antichrist, here to unleash hell?

    OR

    Summary

    “So,” Dustin announced as he brought back drinks for the whole table and very pointedly tipped his head in the direction of Mike and Will, who were mid-heated discussion where they’d left them. “Is anybody going to tell me what happened there?”

    Max rolled her eyes and said, “Will had a real ‘don’t meet your heroes’ moment,” at the same time as Lucas said, “Mike got his feelings hurt.”

    Miscommunication kings Will and Mike have a falling out in the aftermath of their first kiss. Three years later, Jane & Dustin are getting married in the Florida Keys, and they want the whole party there. Sometimes it's easier to pretend to kiss and make up than to face your problems.

    Summary

    Mike agreed to be Will’s reference model for his new art series. The series - Trust, vulnerability, and the surrender of control.

    Dustin’s eyebrows shot up. “Mike Wheeler volunteering to get naked and tied up for art. I need to speak to the manager of this timeline.”

    They told themselves it was just art. Just a favor between best friends. But with every session, the excuse wears thinner. Mike isn't just posing anymore; he’s discovering a side of himself he never knew existed and he’s realizing that the person he wants to surrender to is the one drawing him.

    It was supposed to be "just reference, just art," Until it wasn't.

    Or:

    Mike realizes how much he is into BDSM after volunteering to be Will’s reference model. It’s just art, until it isn't.

    Summary

    "What's your favorite color?" Will asked earnestly. "You never say in any of your interviews. I'm curious."

    There was a pause.

    Then a small hitch of breath, and Mike said, "what color are your eyes?"

    Will blinked. "Ah, um - hazel. They're hazel."

    Mike let out a small huff of amusement mixed with something else. "Then hazel."

    "Oh," Will squeaked.

    "Yeah," Mike said nervously. "Oh."

    ***

    Will's read enough fanfics to know that becoming Y/N was like asking Hopper to stop smoking so much, or begging El to stop buying skincare. Impossible.

    Well... improbable, actually. As it turns out.
