Summary
“But I...?” Hargrove asks, after long enough for Steve to go nose-blind to the furyragekillmaimkill scent, the Alpha’s jaw set and hands clenched in his pockets and eyes so easy, so blue, so- pretty. God, Steve should stop looking. Should look away. Should look away, any second now. “Spit it out, doe-eyes. Don’t got all day.”
God, he has to stop looking at him.
“You call me Captain,” Steve answers, finally breaking eye contact to look instead at Hargrove’s fingers flicking his lighter again and again. Steve hopes the words say what he can’t: you were kind to me. From the way his fingers still, and the soft, barely-there pleased surprise blooms in Hargrove's scent beneath the rage, Steve thinks they might.Or: Billy moves to the deadest part of the United States, meets the prettiest boy he's ever fucking seen, starts writing poetry, and everything - literally everything, from common courtesy to the food chain in Hawkins to his already-rocky home life to something so basic as his secondary gender - goes to fucking shit. For the better. Steve has panic attacks, spends most of his time alone, and swallows everything he's ever felt on reflex. And then he meets Billy, and everything gets, well- better. Much better.

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. He's just gone out on a blind date orchestrated by Steve Harrington, and it totally doesn't shatter his perception of reality when it turns out his date's an actual, real life, genuine bisexual, and Steve maybe set them up thinking he is too. 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.

Summary
Will has felt this before. He’s felt it in basements and bike rides and hospital rooms. In late nights and shared looks and the way Mike always seemed to turn toward him, even when he didn’t mean to. He’d named it a long time ago, quietly, carefully, like you label a box you don’t plan to open. It fed everything else. The hope he’d already strangled. The recognition he’d buried. The longing. The wanting. The terrible, stupid belief that some things could be mutual without being spoken. That you could be seen without asking for it. That someone could know you and still stay. Understanding.
Maybe if he killed this one, the rest would finally starve.
or the finale rewritten because what the actual absolute fuck was that.

Summary
You'd had a vague notion of Steve Harrington since you had gotten into Hawkins.
You'd arrived in town directly ahead of the shit hitting the fan, so you got to experience all the fun of the government occupation without the cool leadup, familiarity with the major players, or really, any information at all. It was like when you'd decided to transfer to the University of Bloomington in January 1986, specifically because you'd heard it was a great party school (and their graduate program in your field was, like, fine), your life just threw up its hands and decided everything from there on out would be a comedy of errors.

Summary
Then with the calls, Will stopped little by little. Conversations being put with less effort. Mike had asked him one time on call.
“Are we good?” Will sighs.
“Yes, Mike. Why?”
“It’s just..I feel like…Well.” Like you’re drifting away. Like you figured out you don’t need me.He didn’t. He heard Will’s stories about his new friends and adventures. He felt like Will was moving on. A new profound confidence. He felt happy for him. Also, bitter and envy. Because he wish he could be like that for himself.
And for him.
“I know. And I’m not, Mike.” He always could read him.
“Okay. Cool.”Or: Mike and Will stopped talking for 4 years until Max and Lucas drags Mike's ass to their dinner party. He meets Will boyfriend that he didn't know about. They reunite. Stories of heartbreak, friendships, miscommunication, yearning, and angst unfolds.

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
The storm over Mike’s head brews. The gray clouds darken to black as if something’s burning—but there’s no smoke. The ground trembles beneath him, quaking with anger. Overhead, a tornado forms, churning in the sky.
More than one—a dozen, maybe more—tornadoes form all at once. Mike lets out a cry, not sure if it’s rain or tears streaming down his cheeks. The downpour grows heavier, blurring everything into gray, while the earth shakes harder beneath him. More tornados spin into existence. Strangely, it feels like a weight is being lifted from his shoulders, as if this storm—no, this disaster—is somehow soothing.
Or after season 2, with the heightened/extreme stress and the pores from the tunnels. Mike awakens his powers, being the first mutant on Earth in X–Men terminology. This can be a fix–it or some kind for the next season maybe…

Summary
It was an accident. Really it was. Gun to her head that’s what she’d say. That’s her story and the details may be a little fuzzy and no one needs to know how she ended up at the end of his journal. But could someone really blame her? She had missed out on so much of their friend group dynamics after being in a coma for so long. Reading the last entry couldn’t really hurt anyone. It’s a victimless crime, she reasoned.
Or
Mad Max unlocked after she reads baby Will's journal. And Mike and Will are all the better for it, or maybe Chance and Will are all the better for it…
This started off as Byler and now I may be drifting into Bychance, I’ll let the public decide… maybe
