Summary
Robin shifted her weight, glancing between them. Her fingers drummed against the glass bottle—tap tap tap, a nervous rhythm. "So... do you know something?"
Nancy's head snapped toward her. Their eyes met, and she saw it—recognition. Shared understanding. The weight of carrying someone else's secret pressed between them like a physical thing. "Do you know something?"
"I might know something," Robin said slowly, drawing out each word like she was testing their weight. Her leg started bouncing—that nervous tell Nancy had learned to recognize over the past few years of working together while they saved the world, and then here, preparing for the end of the world. "Do you know something?"
"I might know something," Nancy admitted, and felt her pulse pick up speed, felt heat creeping up her neck. -

The Great Mike Wheeler Character Revival by Jinbobjapacolypse
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
“I- I don’t like girls.”
Mike freezes in the doorway and feels the air catch in his lungs. Whether that’s on purpose or not, he’s unaware. Maybe blocking his airway is his body's way of doing him a favor, making him invisible to this conversation that he was very much not invited to. He takes a stumbling step back as quietly as he possibly can, which is difficult in his growing state of panic. He needs to make his escape immediately before being spotted, but all too soon, it’s too late. Joyce redirects her gaze to the doorway at the sound of his shuffling footsteps, and the shock in her expression inevitably prompts his best friend to turn around.

Alternatively, a rewrite starting at the coming out scene and attempting to implement my favorite fan theories and fix the hot mess the Duffer Brothers created.

Summary
“Also, if I might remind you, we are all actively going through hell—I think I’m allowed to look like shit.”
“Now, I didn’t say all that!” Mike protests immediately, so overexaggerated that it cannot be entirely serious. “You don’t look like shit—quite the opposite, actually.”
Will stumbles immediately, and Mike catches him, because of course he does.
A military base is burning down behind them, casting everything in a golden glow that could perhaps even count as romantic were it not for the circumstances it came to be in the first place, adding a blurry, near-dreamlike quality to the air, and he stumbles like an idiot, and Mike catches him around the waist as if this were some romantic comedy.
Maybe he didn’t do shit back there, in actuality, and got ripped apart by a demogorgon limb by limb, died and ascended, because surely Mike didn’t just say—
“The—opposite?”
“Yeah,” Mike says, unrepentant, straightening him up and continuing like nothing is off about this line of conversation at all. “The blood is quite a good look on you.”

Summary
Maybe it’s the lingering adrenaline from the false alarm a moment ago, but Mike suddenly has a bad feeling deep in his gut. Something is off. Slowly, he walks around to look at Chrissy’s face.
White eyes. Rapid blinking. Unfocused. Unseeing.
Mike’s terror multiplies tenfold, heart rate ratcheting back up. He blinks and it’s Will standing in front of him, glaze-eyed and shaking, seizing, eyes twitching in their sockets, stuck in a waking nightmare as the Mind Flayer forces itself into every orifice.
He blinks again and it’s Chrissy, going through the same thing. Or something very similar.
Fuck. Not now. Not again.Or: After witnessing Chrissy's death, Mike finds himself on the frontlines of the latest interdimensional battle—and at the top of Hawkins’ Most Wanted list, as police, crazed townspeople, and otherworldly monsters all vie to get to him first.

Summary
“Will. This—this wasn’t commissioned by El, was it?”
“What makes you say that? Of course El asked me to paint it, she—”
“I know you’re lying.” Mike stated firmly with a glare.
“In the letter El sent me… I just realized—she doesn’t know what you could’ve been painting. That you kept hiding it from her. How could she commission you anything if she had no idea?”
or,
The van scene from Stranger Things Vol. 2 rewritten.
