    Summary

    "I have Ms. Kelly today," Max says, almost bitterly. "You'll be okay at lunch without me?" she says it sarcastically, like a joke, but there's an undercurrent of something else in her voice; for a moment, she almost sounds scared.

    Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"

    Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."

    ~~

    or: a shared tragedy brings max and will together for their first year of high school in hawkins. they stay together, even as their demons rise again. a s4 rewrite, in which joyce is the one who dies at the end of s3 and thus the byers + el never move.

    Summary

    If Dazai is anything, he is a perseverer. A stupidly incredible one, at that. Big deal if he passed out after taking a nasty blow. Mori will patch him up and he’ll bounce back in a few days like this was all but a ‘whoops, how silly of me!’ moment.

    But he realized after he called for back-up and took Dazai’s pulse like the practice demanded that… no.

    He’d… overestimated Dazai’s alleged perseverance.

    Or: Dazai refuses to breathe. Chuuya has plenty of say in that matter.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler has a lot of family. Will has only met some of them, in his whole “pursuit of stopping the end of the world” venture, but he was unaware of just how many cousins Mike had.
    Mike’s cousins come from all over the world, but they share two things in common: they all share a fascination with Will.
    And they all look exactly like Mike.

     

    Or: The entire Finn-verse comes together with the united interest of being gay for Will Byers

    Summary

    “What are you doing?” he asks, dumbfounded.

    “Isn’t it obvious? I’m climbing through the window.”

    “You know that people created the doors just for this precise purpose?” Will rolls his eyes, but cannot stop himself from smiling.

    “Yes, but it’s not that romantic, isn’t it?” Mike smiles, putting his hands on the windowsill, voice breaking on the romantic.

    “Romantic?” Will says, confused, not sure if he heard him correctly.

    “Romantic,” Mike frowns, trying to push himself to climb into the window. Will is just standing there, expectedly, observing his failing attempts.

    “You don’t have an athletic bone in your body,” Will rolls his eyes and leans against the window still. “Are you sure you don’t want to try the door?”

    “And risk being caught by your mother? I don’t know about you, but I would rather not explain to her why I decided to drop by almost at midnight with the expectation to spend the night in her son’s bedroom."

    Or: Will comes out. Lucas and Dustin handled it pretty well. Mike Wheeler's reaction is a bit harder to read.

    Summary

    “’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.

    “Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.

    “Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”

    It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.

     

    .........

    or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.
