Summary
In 1949, we sent the first primate to space.
A little rhesus monkey. The scientists forced him into the rocket.
He died upon impact with the ground. But, first, far from home, a monkey touched the stars.
Far from home, a child of Earth was spat out. Here, he is resurrected, emerged into a new world.
Monkey... something has followed you.
(Three years in to the journey to Erid, there is something so bright and big in the Hail Mary’s path that it triggers an automatic shutdown of their engines.
When they stop, there is nothing bright there. In the center of where this anomaly would have been, there is a submarine. An improbable submarine, and the even more improbable person inside of it. He is far from home, praying for safety in his dreams, where he floats in the water of kind oceans and hears his mother spin bedtime stories. He wants, with all his being, to be saved.
Someone is listening. Someone is re-writing his story.
Someone gives him Grace.)

okay so are the curtains blue for a reason or what (this is a metaphor) by sunflower_J

Summary
Now, someone walked into the room. A boy, awkwardly standing at the side of his bed, looking over him worriedly. His hair was brown and scruffy, and he had big baby doe eyes and a yellow-and-blue horizontally-striped shirt like a cartoon character. The window was lighting him up like he was important to Mike’s narrative. The curtains are blue, thought Mike, this boy is light. I love metaphors. Maybe he was high on the pain meds. Upon seeing him, Mike felt a great affection, a great peace. Plus, he had long eyelashes. Mike almost giggled to himself. He was definitely a little high.
“Hi.” breathed Mike.
“Hi.” he said, hesitating.
“We’re friends?” Mike asked hopefully.
Or: During the Party's final battle with Vecna, Mike is gravely injured and loses his memories. He wakes up in a hospital only remembering a handful of inconsequential little things, like how much he loves a boy who seems like light.

"And.
Will Byers was going to hell, because he let it happen.
Because he was a bad person, Will let it happen. He let Mike kiss him, again and again, as he felt his insides turn into boiling liquid, as his heart began to slam against his ribcage; arms half-raised, hesitating between touching Mike and gently pushing him away. He let Mike giggle - fuck – into his mouth, and –"
Or, they're at Jennifer Hayes' stupid the-world-is-ending party, and Mike kisses Will while blackout drunk.

Summary
On hiatus due to the semester, but I'll pick it up again in the summer!
There’s a lot to think about in the End-of-Days, if Mike is being honest. Will is being targeted by Vecna, and the Party had been noticing spots in the woods that make terrible thrumming noises and emanate Upside-Down-spores in huge puffs. Plus, ever since that night in the pizza dough cooler, El has been avoiding Mike, speaking in stilted phrases and hiding in her room, blasting rock music.
Despite these more serious concerns, Mike can’t focus on any of it, because there are two facts that he was decidedly not supposed to know that he had somehow discovered, which kept turning Mike on his head, over and over again:
One, Will Byers is gay.
And, coming much later, in a much more disorienting sweep off his feet:
Will Byers has a crush on him.
(or, Mike secretly overhears that Will likes him, and doesn’t know how to act. This all somehow leads to Mike finding out that El believes that she will forever be wrong, violent, and unable to love and be loved; and, centrally, Mike does a lot of staring at Will with his new rifle).

Summary
“I just… I’m sorry, it's late. I shouldn't have called. I don’t really know what to say. You just haven’t responded to any of my calls or letters in months and I’ve been so worried about you. I don’t know what I did but I will do anything I can to make it up to you. I’m so sorry.”
“Mike.” He let out an amused laugh which made Mike’s mouth audibly snap shut, his teeth clicking together. “You have nothing to make up for. I just needed some… space. I should have said something, I’m the one who should be apologizing. I wanted to reach out but it never felt like the right time.”
“Oh. Is now the right time?” Mike said it as if trying to hide how much the answer meant to him.
“Yeah.” His voice was barely above a whisper.

Summary
It’s January 1992, and Will Byers once again finds himself negotiating a fragile truce with Wednesdays.
Figure drawing remains, regrettably, unavoidable, a class that demands technical skill, sustained focus, and prolonged eye contact with a naked human being under unforgiving fluorescent lighting. But routine, at least, offers safety.
Until the new model arrives.
With new proportions, new complications, and a face Will would very much prefer not to find so profoundly distracting.A.k.a the College AU that nobody asked for.
