Summary
Mike looks at me and I reach a single hand out toward him, my shoes touching the base of the stairs.
He mouths something I can't read, then his thumb presses down on the button.
What did you say, Mike?I’m drowning under the weight of the nightmare. But I don’t think I want it to end if it means losing the last place he still exists.I can feel the heat of the explosion scorching my face.
I think I always will.
or: Will Byers has been given a re-do by fate, two years after Mike Wheeler sacrifices himself to close the gate for good.
Is this really a dream?

Summary
Mike hates Valentine’s Day. It was fun as kids, when teachers would make every student decorate a little shoe box with pink and red heart stickers, that by the end of the day would be filled with cheesy Valentines and sweets.
But this isn’t kindergarten anymore— there are no school-enforced rules that his classmates have to give him a Valentine. He has to earn them. And he hasn’t.
———
Mike is (not) upset that he’s the only one of his friends that hasn’t received a Valentine. That is, until something just so happens to fall out of his locker the next day.

Summary
“He really does look like Mike,” Lucas breathes, as he gives Mike’s twin a scan, head to toe.
“Yeah, if Mike were way hotter and a knight?” Max chips in, and Will can vaguely hear Mike muttering again. “He looks so medieval, like he’s from Camelot or some shit.”
“I am Michael,” the knight begins to plead again. He turns his doe eyes back to Will, returning to his side like a diligent guard, even going as far as to reach out and take his hands. “Please, you have to believe me. I would never lie to you. Have I ever broken our oath? Let me prove it.”
Will was a bit preoccupied with gazing into the knight’s eyes, his cheeks flushing under the intense stare and the way his hands were held so gently. Mike had no issues ruining their moment.
“And he’s weirdly obsessed with Will.” Mike sounds even angrier than he did in the woods, and his sharp tone is enough for Will to snap out of his hand-holding to step a respectable distance away from the knight. “We need to send him back to wherever he came from.”
or
Mike the Brave ends up in Hawkins and sweeps Will off his feet. Mike has a lot of Feelings™ about it.

Summary
"Finally, Adolfo tasted the fruits of his labor, that burst of salt on his tongue and the distinct hardness of Matthew's—"
Guillermo snapped the book shut and threw it in his bedside drawer, slamming it closed. He lived alone but still felt exactly like when he was a kid, hiding his beat-up copy of Interview with the Vampire.
It didn't matter, anyway. He knew exactly what happened next in Nandor's book, had read it maybe four times now (just in case he'd missed something those first three times).
Nandor writes a priest-vampire erotica book. Father Guillermo finally snaps after reading a priest-vampire erotica book. This is a love story.

Summary
" Guillermo met his eyes across the courtyard, and for a moment the human was grave and resolute as a warrior in battle, resigned to his fate yet defiant to its circumstances. For a moment Nandor imagined this meeting as the start of a war rather than a courtship, and for that moment he felt as if he'd found his footing again.
But then the human had done something outrageous.
Then the human had smiled. "
In the end, when all was said and done, the marriage of Nandor the Relentless and Guillermo de la Cruz would be remembered as a pivotal and defining moment in the history of human and vampiric society alike.
In the beginning, however, it was mostly just a mess.
