    Summary

    A year and some change after college graduation, Mike Wheeler is living in his parents' basement.

    It isn't as pathetic as it sounds - he's also got a publishing deal, and he's putting the finishing touches on his debut novel.

    It's even more pathetic than it sounds - he's got nobody left to hang out with in Hawkins except his ex-girlfriend and his sister's ex-boyfriend, and his best friend isn't returning his calls. The Wheeler house is a pressure cooker and he’s newly terrified that he might be identifiably bisexual. He's totally not spiraling. Everything's hunky dory.

    Really, it's ideal timing. Will's due in Hawkins for Thanksgiving any day now, possibly with his beloved sack of hair gel, the ur-yuppie, Country Club Carlton. Mike definitely still knows how to exist in a room with him.

    OR:

    Mike goes through a late bi awakening, crashes out, comes out, grapples with Catholic guilt, and pines over a Will Byers who might no longer have a place in his life for him - not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    This is WZRD, otherwise known as Wizard's Radio.

    "I just don't think I'd be a nice fit on the radio. I'm not like you or Rockin' Robin."

    "You don't have to be like me. Trust me, you don't wanna be like either of us, we're practically dying in this hot studio nearly every day. Maybe that's a little dramatic—it's true, though. When I started out with this job, I was only 17. I'm turning 20 in two months."

    "March 22nd?"

    "Correct. Good job, Paladin. Hope you remember that."

    "Mm. Yeah. I'll, I'll definitely remember that, Sorcerer."

    or; over the radio, mike and will grow a friendship—and as they get closer, it’s hard to ignore what else is building between the two of them.

    Summary

    Mike was sick of them. Sick of their double dates, their couple's costumes, inside jokes and plans they just have to make a 'couples thing'. Sure, the six of them still hung out together all the time, but Mike and Will would always end up ostracized by default, unable to communicate with them now that they only spoke the language of love and nothing else. And that summer, at the cottage, it definitely wouldn't be any different.

    or

    It's 1993. The party goes over to Lucas's family cottage for the summer; Mike and Will get bothered by how often they're excluded from all the couples stuff their friends do, which leads them to start pretending to be dating in the most insufferable way they can come up with. They just weren't counting on it completely blurring the lines of their friendship.

    Summary

    Anyways, the point is, Will thinks, that maybe his ghost roommate has escalated from small pranks and is actually now watching Will. Will supposes that's fine, but he does think that maybe it's a little perverted of the ghost to watch Will masturbate. Will trudges back into the house to wash his hands in the kitchen, crinkling his nose. He probably should be more upset about having a perverted ghost roommate, but sue him, he's lonely (and kind of horny).

    Will dries his hands off on an old dish towel and resigns himself to spending the rest of the afternoon on the couch, lounging around and flipping through channels on the staticky box TV.

    Maybe his perverted ghost roommate likes The X-Files too.

    In which Will thinks that his house is haunted (and he's right).

    Summary

    He’s not a fan of his hair.

    It’s not an uncommon thought, but it still strikes him a little uncomfortably in the ribs as he takes in his reflection.

    He thinks it’s the length.

    Mike wants to cut his hair. This is a bigger issue than it sounds like.
