Summary
“There’s nothing you can do, Mike.”
Yeah, he thinks. That’s the problem.
“I know,” he concedes. “But I told you: I want to help however I can.”
“You do help,” Will says, simply. “This helps.”The Byers are back in Hawkins, but Will’s life is far from normal. Between the disturbing visions and the whole town treating him like a bad omen, sharing a room with his best friend should be the least of his problems.
Hawkins is under lockdown, but Mike has other priorities. Even with a crumbling relationship and monsters roaming the streets, he can’t stop thinking about his best friend.
Threats loom large while secrets linger, but love has a way of making the apocalypse just a little bit better
Or: A byler-centric season 5 rewrite that actually addresses The First Shadow

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.
