    Summary

    Mike Wheeler has always known how to keep the Party together.

    He knows when El is having nightmares before she says a word. He knows when Will is pretending the Upside Down is not still under his skin. He knows how to pull Dustin out of guilt, how to soften Lucas’s anger, how to make Max feel present in her own body again.

    What Mike does not know is how to tell them he is drowning.

    In a house full of people he loves, Mike becomes the heartbeat everyone depends on. But hearts are muscles, and even muscles tear when they are asked to carry too much.

    Summary

    Dustin Henderson is leaving for college, and Mike Wheeler is determined to make his last day with the Party perfect.

    There are boxes to pack, jokes to make, feelings to manage, and a goodbye to survive. Mike can handle all of that. He can handle El’s quiet sadness, Will’s watchful eyes, Lucas’s forced cheer, Max’s irritation at change, and Dustin’s frantic attempts to pretend he is not scared.

    He can also handle the fever he woke up with.

    Probably.

    It is just one day. Dustin only leaves once. Mike can be sick tomorrow.

    But as the day wears on and Mike keeps pushing himself past every limit, the Party begins to realize that the person holding the goodbye together is the one falling apart.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have been dating in secret for months.

    The problem?

    They're terrible at keeping secrets.

    What starts as a relationship known only to the two of them quickly spirals out of control when Nancy and Jonathan walks in on them making out. With every accidental discovery, Mike and Will become more convinced that Hawkins might actually be incapable of keeping a secret.

    As college approaches and the future gets closer, the boys find themselves navigating first loves, awkward conversations, supportive friends, protective siblings, embarrassing interruptions, and the terrifying reality of letting the people they love know who they really are.

    A story about being found out, being accepted, and realizing that maybe the people who love you were always going to stay.

    Or:

    Mike and Will need to be more careful of where they make-out.

    So he does the first mature thing he's ever done in his life and goes to campus therapy where his therapist has an interesting suggestion...

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler is a mess. Nearly thirty years old, a closeted virgin, and secretly in love with his childhood best friend. What better way to turn things around than to spend his thirtieth birthday with the Party playing D&D? When Will casts an overpowered Zone of Truth spell, Mike fears the campaign is over. Except the spell doesn't target the NPC holding the key to victory—Mike is the affected creature.

    What starts as an innocent evening filled with adventure quickly devolves into a humiliating display of lust as Mike answers the Party's questions about his sexual preferences and his feelings for a certain someone. Even worse, he comes to find that Will is more than happy to get him alone to continue the interrogation.

    or

    “Let’s roll for it.”

    “I already have to tell you the truth if you ask,” Mike says.

    “True,” Will smiles. “But this is more fun, right? A proper persuasion check?”

    “Okay,” Mike breathes out. “I’m- I’m still the DM, so… You roll for persuasion. Let’s say the Difficulty Class is ten. That’s fair, right?”

    It might as well be a five, hell, maybe even a two. Mike’s too eager, too fucking desperate to not be persuaded by any suggestion of his.
