Summary
“You’re not rotten,” Mike says, vehemently. “You’re a good person, Will. The best.”
Will’s eyes are dark in the low lighting of the cabin. A gust of wind knocks against the window, but they’re both too caught in the moment, in their cocoon of eye contact and soft understanding and warm hands knotted together on the couch.
“I don’t think that’s possible for you to know,” Will whispers eventually, mouth quirking up into a halfhearted smile. “Or have you met all five billion people in the world?”
“Doesn’t matter,” Mike says quickly. His eyes are stuck on Will’s smile, but he can’t quite make himself join in on the joke, not this time. “You’re the only one that matters.”
Will’s smile drops. “Oh.”
———OR:
Will struggles to come to terms with his new-found powers. Mike is in awe (and also maybe in love).

Summary
Mike is sitting at the desk that technically belongs to both of them but has, by unspoken agreement, become his. His typewriter is centered in front of him, a stack of slightly wrinkled paper to the left, a mug with cold coffee to the right, and his glasses sliding down his nose every few minutes.
The lamp is on low. Yellow light pools over the keys and his fingers.
He types carefully at first, then faster, then pauses, his fingers hovering over the keys shakily.
On the page, the name stares back at him.Will the Wise.

Summary
“I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”
Will froze.
Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.
Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.
When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.
As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

Summary
Vecna sees everything—every thought, every memory, every secret. And Will knows that if he's going to defeat the demon, he needs to finally face the truth he's been hiding for years.
Before the final battle with Vecna, Will makes the hardest decision of his life—coming out to his mom and confronting the feelings he's kept hidden from his best friend for years. What starts as a desperate need to be honest before a possible death turns into something neither of them expected.
A conversation that changes everything. A truth that finally comes to light. And Mike Wheeler, who turns out to be just as blind as Will feared but for completely different reasons.
