Summary
“Dustin’s your Tammy?” And it shouldn’t bother him. Not really. But what the fuck? What does Dustin have that Mike doesn’t?
“Dustin is, without a doubt, not my Tammy.” Will hums, serene as can be. Which is pretty annoying, considering Mike’s sort of wanted to fight Dustin since the words came out of his mouth.
“Oh. You’re sure?”
“Pretty positive, yeah.” Will laughs.

Summary
“It was the hottest thing I think I've ever seen,” Mike says, and when Will whips his head over, he’s nodding sagely. Like this is extremely important information.
“What,” Will chokes.
For a moment, Mike just keeps nodding. Lucas calls Almost ready! over the din of panic and Will tries to steady his breathing. He doesn’t know how he’d ended up being the one they trust with the stitches, but he gets their reasoning. Steady artists hands, they’d all said, even Mike, wincing while draining half the bottle. Then: I trust you.
“It was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen,” Mike repeats, like Will simply hadn’t heard him. “When you, like,” Mike dramatically wipes his nose with his good arm, eyes flashing dark. He misses, a little, and Will grabs his hand to bring it gently back down, but he gets the picture.
OR
Mike is severely injured in the Upside Down. He admits some things to Will, drunk out of his mind. They talk about it.

Summary
In the smoldering ruins of the MAC-Z, Will Byers unlocks a dark, latent power during a desperate bid to save his friends from certain death. In doing so, a door is opened that can never be shut.
Corruption creeps in with every use, twisting his mind and body, turning him into the perfect host for a monster that had claimed him as a child. Terrified he’s unraveling from the inside out, Will fights to hold on—even as the line between boy and monster begins to blur.
But there is one person who can see him, the real him. There is one person who still knows exactly who he is, and that person refuses to let him go.
Or: a story about power, possession, and devotion. A story where victory comes at a terrible cost, and a story where even in victory, the shadows in Hawkins hide something far, far worse.

Summary
Season 5 of Stranger things was supposed to be about saving Hawkins.
Instead it becomes about losing Will Byers.
Sleep doesn’t feel like sleep anymore. Time slips. Voices follow him into the quiet. And in the dark, there is someone waiting, patient, understanding, and far too familiar.
The worst part is not that something is wrong.
It’s that Will isn’t sure he wants it to stop.

Summary
“Why do I always have to be the one to understand, why do I have to be the one to say it.” He hears himself utter, a little surprised at the way he is speaking, all pressing, pleading, reasoning with Mike.
“Because Will.” Mike says in lieu of an answer.
“Because?” Will repeats, Mike is seriously struggling with elaborating tonight.
OR- Mike follows Will to find out what’s wrong, but an inevitable fight occurs
