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
It may have taken Mike Wheeler a little while to figure it out, but there was no denying that he was pathetically in love with Will Byers
Emphasis on "pathetically"
When Will smiles, Mike smiles back; When Will speaks, Mike bursts into flames; When Will flexes, Mike melts into a puddle of goo
Tired of watching Mike make a mess out of himself, the rest of the Party decide to help him out
(If only they could tell if Will likes him back or not!)
~~~
Or: the Party is oblivious, Mike is even more oblivious, and Will is engaging in a little bit of petty revenge
(As in, Will knows that Mike's in love with him. He decided to see how long it'd take for Mike to realize Will loved him back)

Summary
Mike couldn’t believe it took him this long to figure it out.
It was obvious.
Will was in love with Dustin.
...
When Will started talking about his ‘Tammy,’ it hit Dustin all at once.
It was obvious.
Will was in love with Lucas.
~~~
Or:
Dustin and Mike roll nat 1s on perception
Lucas has the brain cell and common sense
And Will is just happy to be here
(While El and Max are giggling watching it all go down with popcorn)

Summary
When Will finally made it to Castle Byers, he fell to his knees in despair. In his haste to getawaygetawaygetaway, he’d completely forgotten that he’d destroyed Castle Byers last summer in a fit of anger.
There was nothing left to save him from the shadows that overtook him.
Like the saying goes: if there’s no one in a forest to hear a tree fall, does it really make a sound?
There was no one around to hear him scream.
~~~
Or:In an alternate universe of season 4 where Max and El move to California instead of the Byers, that leaves Will left alone, abandoned by his friends and family as they move on with their lives
And where does that leave him but at the mercy of Henry?
How long does it take for someone to notice that Will isn't Will anymore?

Summary
“Never have I ever touched a girl’s boobs,” Dustin dropped.
“Dude,” Mike blushed, glaring at him. He wasn’t surprised when Lucas unashamedly took a sip, though he was surprised when both Max and El took sips, giggling with each other. He wasn’t even gonna question that.
No, what really shocked him was when Will, the boy who had come out to them as gay a few weeks back, took a gulp.
“Will?!”
~~~
No one really knew what happened in California, at least, not from Will. Sure, El had told them all about the bullying eventually, but they all knew that Will liked to keep things close to the chest.
So, it was a surprise just how much Will had shared during their drunken game of Never Have I Ever...
Will did what?!
(aka: Will was secretly a teenage dirtbag/rebellious punk in Lenora with a punk group of friends + Boris Pavlikovsky and the Party finds out about some of the crazy shit he did)

Summary
“Will! Truth or dare!”
Will hummed, finally uncovering his eyes as he turned to her.
“Uhm, truth, I guess.”
“Okay,” she looked deep in thought. “Who was your first kiss?”
“Oh!” Will looked surprised, “uhm…”
When there are multiple answers to this question, who turns out right?
~~~
Or: Dustin, Lucas, and Mike all think that they're Will's first kiss
I mean, who wouldn't want to have the honor of being Will Byers' first kiss?
At least, that's what Mike thinks, anyway
(As it says on the tin: a fun silly truth or dare game that leads to some resolved Byler tension)
