    Summary

    “I’m glad they moved me closer to the art block,” Mike mentions after a second, and Will blinks at him. “It’ll be easier to bother you, now.”

    Will clicks his teeth. “Incredibly professional,” he notes, and Mike’s smile widens. Sometimes, Will’s heart feels moments from exploding, like a firework someone had poured gasoline onto and threw in a fire.

    “I’m the pinnacle of professional,” Mike decides, oblivious to Will’s cardiovascular issues.

    Between being a teacher in a school full of chaos, being in love with his best friend and coworker of several years, and Lucas' worst idea yet, Will tries his best to make it through another school year.

    Summary

    Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.

    And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.

    OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

    Summary

    Four years after Hawkins, Will Byers has built a steady life in New York and Mike Wheeler has a half-finished manuscript, too many quiet regrets, and a habit of showing up anyway.

    After a wedding and breakup keep them all in the same orbit long enough that there’s nowhere to hide behind and Mike is forced to deal with things he’s left out of the manuscript- especially where Will is concerned. After all, the truth always comes out in the end, and Mike has stepped over things for too long.

    Canon-compliant post-epilogue story that final talks about all the gates (in my heart, this is what happens.)

    Summary

    “That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”

    “Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”

    Or

    Dustin Henderson has a plan.
    It is a good plan.
    The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.

    Summary

    Baz Pitch loves, in no particular order; David Bowie, punk music, the feel of old vinyl, the smell of coffee (but not the taste), classic books, magic, David Byrne, the fact that he was raised by his aunt Fiona, and maybe, sometimes, Simon Snow.
