    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.

    Two weeks into summer break, Mike finds Will's diary.

    And steals it.

    And from one day to another the line between Will and Diary-Will starts to blur. With one thing in common: they are both madly, deeply in love with Mike. But only one of them hides it.

    Summary

    Summer of 1989. Before the group splits up for college, they plan one final camping trip in the woods.

    Trapped in a tent with Will, Mike is writing an apology letter that gradually turns into a heartfelt confession as he comes to terms with his true feelings. He has one week to find the right words, or he'll lose the love of his life forever.

    Or: after s5, Mike Wheeler writes a love confession he’s absolutely not ready for.

    Summary

    “Your boyfriend?” she prompted, speaking quite slowly and carefully as though she was talking to a toddler, “You know, the fake boyfriend you use as an excuse every time someone asks you out?”

    Will blinked surprisedly, then cracked up laughing, “What?” he said, “Fake boyfriend?” he repeated, grinning, “You do realise — you know my boyfriend isn’t fake, right? I do have a boyfriend. For the past year and a half, actually.”

    Will Byers’ boyfriend is something of a myth amongst the residents of RISD. Nobody has met him, he supposedly helped to save Will’s life, and he goes to Brown. Seriously… who is this guy?

    Or; Byler from the perspective of Will’s college friends.

    After we win, Will thinks to himself, a silent promise. After we win, I’ll tell you I love you.
