    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.

    Summary

    “Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.

    What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?

    And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—

    This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.

    Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.

    “Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.

    And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.

    “Oh, but Mike does?”

     

    OR

     

    After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.
