    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    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

    “Maybe in another universe you actually like kissing,” Will jokes in a wayward attempt to lighten the mood, flashing him a smile.
    “Maybe in another universe there’s someone I’d like to kiss,” Mike fires back, and Will’s stomach drops as Mike’s eyes flick downwards.

    --

    In which Will Byers and Mike Wheeler imagine themselves in a different universe. Post-S5.

    Summary

    The same vague, abstract guilt he always feels around Will hardens to a sharp shard of ice through his heart. Will still thinks they’re going to college together, that a future around Mike is something he wants. He doesn’t understand how being around Mike, who finds it impossible to exist sometimes, would drag Will down right when he should finally be soaring up and out of Hawkins. Better for Mike to save Will the trouble early on, rather than watch him come to terms with having to shake himself free of Mike if he ever wants to breathe.

    (Summer, 1989. Mike is supposed to leave for college with Will in less than two months, and he still doesn't know what he wants. Maybe it would be better for them both if he just doesn't go? Will disagrees.)

    Summary

    Mike wakes to the sound of movement in the kitchen. He pushes himself up, still groggy, and steps into the hallway.

    “Hey, baby,” a voice says easily, not looking up. “You want coffee—?”

    Carlton turns around, stops short. Blinks once.

    “Oh,” he says, then laughs under his breath. “You’re… not Will.”

    Mike freezes.

    Or,

    Post-canon, Mike Wheeler crashes at his best friend’s New York apartment for a book deal. But he wasn't ready to see this version of Will Byers: confident, successful, in love, surrounded by community and so, so free.

    While Will lives the life he has always deserved, Mike grieves El and comes to the quiet, devastating realization that he might be in love a few years too late.

    Despite everything, they still seem to find their way back to each other.
