    Summary

    Maybe Will decides that enough is enough, and lets Mike go. Maybe whatever persists between them dies slowly of benign neglect, until all that remains is shared trauma and dead memories that don’t mean what they once did. Or maybe he just never hears Mike’s voice again. He shudders.

    But what if it's not too late?

    Too late for what?

    What do you do when the world fails to end? If you’re Will Byers, you build a life. If you’re Mike Wheeler, you build a tomb.

    It’s been a decade since El disappeared, Mike is still trapped in his own head, and no one knows how to talk about it. Then, Mike does something impulsive, and sets in motion a chain of events that will cause Will to question everything he believes - including about himself.

    Or: A story about grief, love, fate, freedom, and the things that hide in the dark (and maybe the light, too). This starts slow, but bear with me; I promise it doesn't go where you're expecting!

    Summary

    “This one seems… different,” Will breathed, the words slipping out without him fully meaning to speak. He drifted closer, not noticing how his hand had lifted until his fingers were inches from the swollen, gently pulsing pod. The air around it was almost intoxicating, like something in his chest was tugging him forward into the grasp of the organism against his will.
    His fingertips brushed up against the hairs of the vine, the plant seemed to bristle and glow brighter for a moment as it registered Will’s feather light touch.
    It convulsed instantly, shuddering as if startled awake from deep slumber, and burst open with a soundless plume. A fragrant, invisible cloud washed over his face before he could recoil, soft as breath and just as inescapable. It flooded his lungs in a single startled inhale, sickly sweet like maple syrup gone sour. His vision swam around him, colors bending and splitting like glass caught in a kaleidoscope lens.
    OR: The upside down hasn’t been destroyed, the party has been doing crawls for two years now— and Will and Mike run into a sex pollen plant on their crawl!

    Summary

    “Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.

    “What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”

    Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”

    So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?
