    Summary

    Will could not help the question that burst from his lips, it had been ricocheting around his brain like a stray tennis ball and was simultaneously causing him the most excitement, distress and exhilaration he had felt in his entire life.

    “Are you my husband?” he blurted. Mike blinked in surprise.

    “What?”

    Will lost his nerve slightly. He wondered if he had been horribly wrong about this, and maybe in this strange timeline he was just a friend staying over and maybe he’d made a mistake and the daughter wasn’t really his daughter and—

    Will faltered. “Um, I — well, I just thought you were — I mean, you are my husband, right?”

    Mike looked very alarmed. He was staring at Will as though he had grown a second head.

    “Obviously…?” he said, “Are you feeling alright? Did your mom make you try her D-I-Y coffee again?”

    When nineteen-year-old Will Byers wakes up to find himself in his forty-three-year-old body, he must—with no experience whatsoever—play the part of world-renowned freelance painter, father of two very troublesome teenagers, and most strangely of all: Mike Wheeler’s husband.

    Summary

    "What exactly are you calling for, Nancy?"

    There was a moment of silence before she continued. "I'm living in Paris—for work. I can't… they won't let him leave the country, and I can't move back fast enough for it to matter."

    Will felt his face pale. "What about your parents?"

    "They don't want anything to do with him, not after—"

    "Yeah, I heard. What about…"

    "Will, there's no one else. I've tried."

    "Nancy, I can't… I can't just—"

    "Please. I wouldn't be asking if there was another option."

    Will bit the inside of his cheek. "Okay."

    Or: Mike is on house arrest for 6 months and has no choice but to stay with Will, even though they haven't spoken in two years.

    Summary

    Will Byers is a barista who uses his first spring break to save money, paint faceless figures, and maybe make a tall, dark haired stranger a little bit confused.

    Mike Wheeler is the drummer of a rock band in California who uses his first spring break to play music, hang out and, well… get confused.

    The universe keeps bringing them together, and these supposed strangers begin to know one another for the very first time.

    Or is it?

    *This is a very vague summary for a reason- if you wanted a different season 5, just trust me ;)

    Summary

    “I just- I don’t understand why he has to come, is all.”

    “Mike,” Lucas said over the phone. Exasperated. “They’ve been together for two years. Of course, he’s going to come.”

    Mike took what felt like his hundredth breath during their short conversation. “Right. But like, I thought the idea was to keep it small. You know… only the people who know. To keep El safe.”

    Or: 5 years after the epilogue, Lucas and Max are getting married and have invited the Party and company to stay at his grandfather's lake house the week leading up to it. Everything is great, except that Will is bringing his boyfriend.
