Summary
Michael never considered himself to be good with girls, or people in general for that matter, if his pathetic attempt to ask Jena to the snowball in 8th grade meant anything. So you could expect that he was very surprised to find a ‘Happy Birthday’ card inside his locker.
The card was a warm tone of pastel yellow, it had a simple drawing of a birthday cake with ‘Happy Birthday!’ written neatly in different colors; it smelled faintly of sweets, with a few citric tones. Inside the card was a letter with no signature.-Mileven Secret Admirer AU, created completely by me cause i found the idea cute.
(English is not my first language and i am as of now running on a can of lemon ice tea monster energy and the very strong urge to vomit, so feel free to correct any mistakes.) -

Summary
The beginning of senior year brings more changes with it than Eliza could have ever expected. Outside the move of the Byers family to California, the deaths during the mall fire haunting the town and lingering trauma, high school still continues to be just as challenging and nothing is as it was before. Somehow developing a genuine friendship with Robin while ignoring her feelings, trying to keep the Party from falling apart and figuring out the perfect college to go to are just the tip of the iceberg.
Or an interlude between S3 and S4 in which Eliza and Steve need to deal with the impending future and what that means for their friendship while trying to get over their crushes (with varying success).

Summary
Will found himself staring out his dorm window, watching the clouds in the dark night sky. Then, he realized Mike could be in the same state as him at that moment, looking up at the same sky.
He missed Mike, or at least, the Mike he remembered. The Mike he played D&D with, the Mike he went on bike rides with. He wondered what eighteen-year-old Mike could be doing. He hoped to find him someday.
Little does he know, Mike is closer to him than he thinks.
Or:Will is finally going back to Indiana for college. He's even majoring in his passion and taking an Art History class. Unfortunately his talent also means that he's been selected to tutor an English major that can't analyze a painting to save his life. That English major may also be someone he hasn't seen in eight years.

Summary
The two boys sat across from each other, Will sitting against the couch, Mike against the table, and they were just…looking at each other. Not saying anything, not mouthing anything. When the eye contact got too awkward, Will finally was the one to break it. He pulled his knees to his chest and quietly coughed, praying to no one in particular that he would magically fall asleep. But then–
Four taps, then two.
HI.
Will looked back up immediately, cheeks flushing and a smile already creeping across his face.
HI.

Summary
Immediately post-Season 4, the gang are catching up and reuniting at Hopper's old cabin. Mike, who's been on the edge of a panic attack for the past few days, excuses himself to get some 'fresh air'- unbeknownst to anyone but Joyce, who still isn't fully up-to-date on the Vecna situation. After about 30 minutes, the group notices his absence and are immediately concerned. They can't find Mike anywhere in the surrounding area, but they find the exact thing they were dreading; a small gate.
Mike finds himself in the Upside-Down, but the circumstances are strange. Vecna is nowhere to be seen and the area around him is completely barren. It's an elaborate plot to torment Mike with his greatest fears; forcing him to relive his own worst memories with his family and friends by his side.
How much could one kid have to hide, anyways?

Summary
“Take off your shirt.”
“What?” Will almost laughed. “No!”
Mike flopped his head down on the couch beside Will’s legs. “Whyyy?” His voice was muffled by the pillows. “Dustin did it, and he’s the funnest.”
Will considered this and concluded that it was stupid for Mike to attribute ‘funness’ to how willing you were to take off your shirt. He opened his mouth to say that. “You should take off your shirt.” It took him a second to register the words that had come out of his mouth, and another to realize that that was in fact not what he had planned to say.
Mike and Will get into a summer situationship. It's all fun and games at the start, but by the end they'll have to piece their broken friendship back together or lose each other for good.

Summary
They end up at Mike’s place; partially because the trailer park is absolute shit for skating and partially because Max is still a little ashamed of the new digs. Well, Mike doesn’t actually know that for certain, but only because he’d rather die than be emotionally vulnerable with anybody for long enough to find out her genuine opinion on the matter, so he’s fairly sure that’s the case.
It turns out high school doesn't at all live up to the fantasies of a 12 year old Mike Wheeler. It's pretty much just a never ending cycle of suck, actually. He ruminates; Max teaches him how to skate.

Summary
In which fighting a pack of interdimensional monsters was the easy part, and now Billy has to figure out how to come to terms with his new normal.
Post Season 2 AU. Pre Season 3.
I'd recommend reading part 1 (Inside Out) before jumping into this one.
"Wondering when the hell he’d become such a fucking pushover, Billy reluctantly reached up and took hold of Steve’s offered hands, locking a startled yelp in his throat when the senior misjudged his own strength – or how much Billy weighed – and used way too much force to yank him to his feet. They collided with a chorus of grunts and curses, treading on each other’s feet and briefly sharing the same air.
In the next instant Billy sent Steve stumbling backwards with a reflexive shove – the sudden closeness provoking a harsh spike of anxiety within his chest despite it being Steve – and in the instant after that he was pulling the senior back towards himself, protecting the bumbling idiot from falling ass first into the fire."

Summary
"Dear Will,
Earlier today, you left. Watching your car drive further and further away hurt way more than I thought it would. The further it went, the more I realized that I didn't take enough advantage of our time together. I should've hugged you tighter, longer. I should’ve initiated more hangouts for just us two."

Summary
Mike pulled away, his eyes flitting across Will’s face—his tear-stained cheeks and red eyes—and he didn’t even have a moment’s hesitation before he said, “Then… we’ll go crazy together.”
Will’s mouth quirked even as his eyes welled with tears once again. “Yeah? Crazy together?”
Mike chuckled through the lump in his own throat. “Yeah. You’re not facing this alone, Will."
With Will’s name broadcasted in the Daily Prophet as the new generation’s very own Boy-Who-Lived, he faces new challenges in his Second Year of Hogwarts.
Another more imminent threat still lingers, even despite the Veil’s connection to the World of the Living closed, and Will must continue to tread very carefully like Professor Morganach originally forewarned.
But the question follows:
Will anyone notice the danger brewing on Will’s doorstep before it’s too late?
