Summary
“I didn’t break the cup.” He said more intently, picturing the mug whole and unbroken, the radio station logo that was plastered on the side uncracked.
And as he willed it, it was.
He blinked and the glass was gone like it had never been there, and there was a whole coffee mug sitting on the table in front of him when he looked down. It was sitting on the table like it had never left, the wet pool of cold coffee from before was gone and in its place was a rich brown cup of coffee, steaming lightly in the nighttime chill.
“What the fuck?” Someone said, disbelief coloring their tone and all Mike could do was stare downwards, a fresh wave of blood leaking from his nose.
“I didn't break the cup.” He echoed himself emptily, words a tad disbelieving.
He looked up then, taking in the stunned and worried faces that were surrounding the table and by proxy, him.
He pressed his fingers to his nose, eyes slipping downwards to look at the wet red that stained his fingertips and looking back up.

Summary
Since the duffer brothers absolutely queerbaited and bombed byler for season five, I want to rewrite season five with my own narrative so we arent queer baited and get the love story everybody wants.
---
Season Five of Stranger Things was supposed to be Hawkins' darkest hour-but what if the story unfolded the way it should have?
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have always been at the heart of it, their bond deeper than Hawkins can ever understand. Through terror, heartbreak, and mind-bending horrors, they navigate a world that's trying to tear them apart-without ever realizing how much they mean to each other.
Hawkins isn't the same without Will, and Mike's about to realize that the person he's been searching for all along has been right in front of him.

Summary
'You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case.
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face.’When Lucas called Mike about his wedding, Mike's instinct was not to go. The same instinct that kept him from Dustin's wedding. The same instinct that kept him from the phone to call Will. Mike had spent the four years after graduation stuck in Hawkins, stuck working on his stupid novels that were going nowhere. He wasn't important to the world, and his friends knew that. They didn't need him anymore, so why would he try?
Why would he bother to follow anything but the mundane routine he had been scrambling after for weeks? He definitely wouldn't bother trying because an irritatingly familiar song keeps playing when he's alone. Nor when he hears an achingly familiar voice through the television.---
Or: It takes Mike six days to get out of the world Vecna trapped him in, and seven days to see Will again.

Summary
That’s because he’s my boyfriend, Mike!” Will shouts.
“And us?” Mike presses, a sick sense of deja vu creeping coldly over his brain.
Will exhales sharply, “We’re friends. We’re friends! You made sure of that. So I don’t know why you’re so mad at me!”
“Because it was supposed to be me!”
Will blinks, “What are you talking about?”
“I’m mad because it was supposed to be me!” Mike shouts it desperately, like a plea, like this is making him go crazy, and fuck, maybe it is, “After everything—at the end—it was meant to be me. Not him. I don’t want it to be him. I want it to be me.”
Or, Mike doesn't realize his own feelings, until Will's are staring him dead in the face. Vecna's gone, they're nearing the end of their senior year, and all of a sudden Will has a boyfriend. Everything goes downhill pretty quickly from there.
