    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

    ~

    The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.

    Also known as the answer to Mikewhatthefuckdidyoudo gate

    Steve Harrington is to Mike what Robin is to Will

    Season 5 Rewrite to follow WHILE THIS IS A COMPLETE WORK, THE SEASON 5 REWRITE IS A WIP

    Everything is tagged appropriately. If you choose to read, that is your prerogative. No smut occurs until chapter 36.

    Summary

    “So you’re saying,” says Will, “that we’d…”
    “Have sex.”
    “Right. That. Once a week, for twelve weeks. And then what?”
    “And then back to our regularly scheduled programming.” Or it’s amazing, and we keep doing it forever, Mike thinks but narrowly manages to keep to himself.

    OR: After their mentors tell them they need more life experience to improve their art, college roommates Mike and Will agree to start up a short-term friends-with-benefits situation. Also, they’re going on dates all around NYC. But not like, date-dates. Artist Dates. Don’t worry about it.

    (a.k.a. Byler use The Artist’s Way as an excuse to bang)

    Summary

    Mike grins so widely that he displays each one of his baby teeth. "Open it," he says. "It's a card. I made it for you."

    When Will gingerly peels the birthday card open, Mike’s uneven handwriting is displayed across the page.

    The p’s in happy are backwards, the y wobbly and curled at the end, and the k in Mike is also flipped the wrong way. The word birthday is etched in their kindergarten teacher’s steady print, and it seems like she'd also added the punctuation for him. 

    Happy birthday, Will! 
    Love,
    Mike W

    Or: Will Byers' birthdays from age six to adulthood, told through cards from Mike.

    Summary

    Dating apps aren't Mike's thing, until he finds out Will is using one. He can't let a bunch of trashy guys go after his best friend; he'll just make a fake account to scope out the situation. What could go wrong...or right?

    or

    Mike creates a fake persona on a dating app to unknowingly flirt with Will.
