Summary
“Love takes many shapes, sometimes it can feel like bliss, and other times it can feel like hell. As women, we must endure all of them to survive."
For as long as I can remember, I have only wanted one thing in life: true, unconditional love. Romantic, familial, or friendship - it didn't matter; I was desperate to be loved in any way possible. In the fairy tales I was read as a child, true love was depicted as being treasured, seen, accepted, and adored by someone who expects nothing but the same love in return. Growing up taught me that in real life, love is far more complicated than that.

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.

Summary
“As much as the rational Will, the old Will, wouldn’t want this, the monstrous Will, the real Will, knows there’s no way he could deny what’s being willingly offered to him.
“It’s going to hurt,” Will whispers against Mike’s ear. Mike’s heart skips a beat, but he stays completely still. Mike moves his head in a single understanding nod against Will’s shoulder.
The old me is dead, and I want Mike desperately.
“Do this for me, do it because I’m selfish”, Mike’s voice rings through Will’s head. The irony, he thinks.“
or
Three years after the events of season five, the party goes on a camping trip. Their lifelong friend (and hungry vampire) Will Byers is finally convinced to come along, despite the fact that he has hardly anything to eat.
Mike Wheeler, Will's best friend (and secret love) offers to help Will with his little problem.
Events of S5 are relatively canon with the exception of the following:
- El is alive
- The entire party lives in Indiana during college
- Three years ago, Will was cursed by Vecna and turned into a vampire -

Summary
"Does he speak?" Will asked, his eyes lost in the pool's clear, cool water. His right leg swung, making small waves against his skin, and his eyes never met Mike's. He was giving him the cold shoulder; in fact, his body was giving him the visual of his back, but Mike could see it all.
He could see the turmoil growing on his body because, just like him, he was feeling the tension they had built up over the past couple of days. Those warm touches on the skin, the secret shared looks, and the usage of a flirtatious tone any time they had a chance.
"Better to speak, she says…" Mike whispers, playing with the book in his hands. The same book his mother read to him just a day before."But she's on her guard, she senses a trap somewhere."
Will stays silent, because he knew the insinuation of Mike's words, a quiet call out of their behavior recently. Obviously not ready to have this conversation.
"So… Does he speak?" William slowly let the words out, with a slight hope in his tone.
or
Mike Wheeler meets a new international student who will stay in his cottage for six weeks, and, without knowing it, he will open his heart to new experiences of acceptance, summer love, and lust.
