Summary
It's 1995, and it's snowing in Hawkins. Will has not been home in five years. He hasn't laid eyes on Mike Wheeler in five years. A phone call that he can't ignore, a long drive, and he's there, in front of Mike's house, like nothing has changed. And maybe, nothing has.
(Everyone was far too happy in that epilogue for my liking... you will mourn el properly and you WILL have trauma and you WILL ALL be miserable. This will be really depressing but I fear I have no choice in the matter. Byler I will avenge you.)

Summary
“You’re not rotten,” Mike says, vehemently. “You’re a good person, Will. The best.”
Will’s eyes are dark in the low lighting of the cabin. A gust of wind knocks against the window, but they’re both too caught in the moment, in their cocoon of eye contact and soft understanding and warm hands knotted together on the couch.
“I don’t think that’s possible for you to know,” Will whispers eventually, mouth quirking up into a halfhearted smile. “Or have you met all five billion people in the world?”
“Doesn’t matter,” Mike says quickly. His eyes are stuck on Will’s smile, but he can’t quite make himself join in on the joke, not this time. “You’re the only one that matters.”
Will’s smile drops. “Oh.”
———OR:
Will struggles to come to terms with his new-found powers. Mike is in awe (and also maybe in love).

Summary
Now, Mike had almost three extra years' worth of memories, including the revelation and inevitable acceptance of his feelings for his best friend and the subsequent aftermath of said best friend’s heroic sacrifice.
“No, no, no, NO! I just got you back! Please, please, Will, please–I can’t lose you, not again! WILL–”
He remembered the two girls placing their hands on his shoulders, Kali’s sympathetic grip and El’s agonized clench as they gazed down at their adopted brother.
Now, here he was, the summer it all started going too wrong to right.
~~~
After Will sacrifices himself to defeat Vecna, Mike is sent back in time to the beginning of season 3 to prevent any more tragedy
Now, he'll do whatever it takes
For Will.
(thank you all for following along!)

Summary
In the summer of 1989, the Byers family moves to Montauk, cutting short Mike and Will's last summer together before college. Certain he'll never see his friend again, Will confesses his love on their last night together, rocking Mike's world entirely. As the tear-filled goodbyes draw to a close, however, Mike is suddenly offered the unexpected opportunity to travel with the Byers family and help them move.
They have five days out of state together to address Will's confession, learn to communicate, and maybe, just maybe, say a few things they should have said all along.
