    Summary

    Mike is pretty sure she has a plot against him. She’s been nothing but polite to him, but he can see that there is something between them that just doesn’t click. There is no other explanation; Sarah Rose has an evil, elaborate plan to steal Will away from him.

    (or, Mike gets jealous over Will's new friend, gets drunk and spills a few secrets.)

    Summary

    His mind is a madhouse, twisting all over the place, circling around and around until it inevitably lands back on Will. He wants to fix this. It’s what he does. It’s what he’s supposed to be good at—helping his friends. But he doesn’t know how to fix anything this time. People are going to say what they’re going to say, and everything Mike can think of just seems like it’ll make things worse.
    It’s not like Will can go back in the closet, at this point, not that he’d want to. And nothing Mike says or does will convince a hoard of homophobic teenagers that there’s nothing wrong with being gay. He can’t convince them that Will doesn’t have a crush on him because they just think he’s “oblivious”. Which is ridiculous. Mike would know if Will had a crush on him. And Will would never have a crush on him anyway. Will is headstrong but quiet, calm and assured. Sarcastic and funny and kind and wonderful.
    There are a lot of things that Mike doesn’t know, but he knows this for certain: If Will were to fall in love, it wouldn’t be with an idiot like Mike.

    or: When rumors start spreading about Will Byers being in love with his best friend, Mike has to figure out a solution, preferably before prom.

    Summary

    “We haven’t done this since middle school,” Will says, voice barely above a whisper.

    “Huh,” Mike whispers back. “Yeah, guess not.”

    A couple years ago, Mike read a National Geographic article about a phenomenon called the polar night. In the farthest north and south regions of the globe, there are weeks, sometimes months depending on how close you are to the poles, where the sun does not rise above the horizon, plunging the world into a perpetual nighttime. Living in such conditions, the article had explained, can affect one’s circadian rhythm, heighten issues with concentration and energy levels, and cause a spike in depressive symptoms among local populations. Some resort to using light therapy lamps to mimic the daylight.

    It was only after the Byers moved away, all those years ago, that Mike began to understand what the prolonged absence of the sun can do to a person.

    The Upside Down is gone, and everyone has made it out unscathed. In the aftermath of the not-so-end of the world, snowballs turn into avalanches. Sometimes it just takes time.

    or: Mike gets into Brown, Will gets into RISD, and the friends-to-???-to-lovers slowburn that ensues.

    Це цілісно, поступово, і дуже добре. Воно могло б бути книгою
