    Summary

    "You left me," Mike says, gravely serious but somehow still so young in his demeanour, brow a little heavier than usual, lips still pouty. Will frowns too, rubbing at Mike's arm, feeling the soft hairs underneath his palm and loving him over and over again.

    "Uh-huh." Mike doesn't elaborate again. "You're being very vague –"

    "For someone else. In my dream," he finally mutters before burying his face back into Will's arm, leaving the rest of his comment muffled, though the brokenness of it can still be made out. "You broke up with me in my dream for… someone else."

    aka mike has a dream that will broke up with him for someone else and will's curious about who it could be..

    Summary

    Will Byers’s Friday night is admittedly not going as planned.

    And things had been going surprisingly well, lately, for someone who’s spent the majority of his life feeling more than a little cursed. A radioactive spider bite and extensive childhood trauma will typically do that to you. He would maybe appreciate being New York’s most elusive superhero a little bit more, if he didn’t have to deal with this shit interrupting his life.

    This shit in question being bodied by a 500-something-pound mutant in the sewers, to then braining himself on the wall, and having his chest clawed to shreds by said lizard creature.

    Oh, and he’s pretty sure he’s drenched in what is at least 80% pisswater right now. Awesome.

    What Will should be doing right now is having a movie night with his best-friend-newly-turned-boyfriend, tucked against him on their shitty thrifted couch, in their cheap apartment in Queens.

    God, Mike’s going to kill him, if Will doesn’t manage to bite it before getting home to him first. The thought of Mike bitching (and the guttural roar still echoing from the tunnels) is enough to get him moving again, slingshotting himself the hell out of there with a flick of his wrist.

    Summary

    A smile plastered on his face when their eyes locked and Will threw his bag on the ground before throwing himself into his bed. “I’m not moving for the rest of the day.”

    Mike chuckled, looking back down at his paper. “Aw, that's too bad. What about our dinner date?”

    Their what?

    Mike had been acting weird lately. Will was going to get to the bottom of it.

    Summary

    “Oh.” Mike snapped his fingers, huffing out a laugh. “Oh, this is like that- that black and white movie my mom likes to put on at Christmas. The Jimmy Stewart one.” He stood a little taller, a wild look in his eyes. “Alright! I’ve learned my lesson! I can go home now, and appreciate my life, yada yada.”

    Nothing happened. Mike snapped his fingers again, more urgently, before raising his voice in a yell.

    “Lesson learned! I wanna go home!”

    The world stayed as it was, broken and decayed, and Mike screamed into the cold, stale air.

    Or: After a bad fight with his friends, Mike wakes up in an alternate reality that seems to be plunged into an apocalyptic nightmare.

     

    Being rewritten for real this time!!

    Summary

    It rolls, it rolls, it rolls, Will is clenching his hands into fists so tight his knuckles are white, bracing himself, preparing himself.

    He’s so focused on steadying his breathing, on wrapping his heart in a guard of barbed wire before the blow lands, that he doesn’t quite see the number on the dice.

    Mike lets out a shaky breath next to him. “It’s a seven.”

    Will runs through the list in his head. Three times, before it clicks. He thinks he might throw up.

    “C’mon, Wheeler. Don’t keep us waiting,” Max teases, and Will finally catches the satisfied gleam in her eyes.

    A 20. He gets twenty minutes locked in a linen closet with Mike.

    Two years ago, he would have been jumping for joy.

    But Mike won’t even look at him.
