Summary
Will Byers is the first human born on Mars.
For years, Earth exists only through screens and secret online conversations with Mike Wheeler, the boy who becomes his window into a life he’ll never have, until a medical breakthrough bends the rules of distance and loneliness.
As Mike unknowingly introduces him to a world full of firsts, Will finds himself falling in love with the wonders of Earth and the person who made it feel like home long before he arrived.
But some dreams are easier to long for than to hold onto, and the life Will has always wanted may come with a price neither of them is prepared to pay.

Summary
“Will?” Confusion seeps into Jonathon’s voice.
“No," Mike wants to say, “Not at all, I’m not Will, I can’t be Will, I haven’t even seen Will for so long. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Why does it have to happen like this?”
But as he scans the room and lands on a mirror, he finds himself staring into the hazel eyes of none other than Will Byers. His mouth drops open, but it’s all wrong, because his mouth has never looked like that before in his life, all plush and—
Well. It’s just wrong.
Or: in early 1986, Mike and Will wake up in each other's bodies, halfway across the country from their homes, families, and everything else that was becoming familiar during their time apart.

Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

Summary
“Will Byers?”
Will glances around, as if there is another Will Byers in their vicinity. He manages a small smile. “Yeah, it’s- uh. It’s me.”
Mike rushes forward, and all he can think is holy shit, Will is alive, as he’s throwing his arms around the other boy and tugging him in for a crushing hug. It isn’t until Will is secure, nestled–maybe a bit stiffly–in his arms, that Mike starts crying.
“I thought you were dead,” Mike murmurs, muffled by Will’s jacket. He sniffles. “I thought- we- they told us you were dead.”
Or, Will was never found in S1, but survives in the Upside Down until 1987 due to his powers and connection with Vecna. Cue Mike, an ill-timed trip to the Upside Down, and a lot of feelings.
