    Summary

    "Don’t," the other Mike cuts in, fast and low and urgent. "Don’t do this here. Don’t do this in front—" his eyes slide over—”not in front of them."

    "Why not?" Will's future self snaps. "You wanna talk so bad, let’s talk."

    "Not like this.”

    “No—exactly like this,” he shoots back. “You don’t get to keep doing that. Acting like protecting him—yourself—is the same thing as protecting me.” 

    That lands harder. Quieter. More dangerous.

    “You think he doesn’t deserve to know?” he goes on. “You think I didn’t?”

    “Will.” A warning.

    “You wanna start with the summer?” he says. “Or should we just skip ahead to New York?” A beat. His mouth twists. “Or even better—Dustin’s graduation?”

    [Or or: The one where your humble author somehow stumbles ass-backwards into a series finale re-write?]

    Summary

    Then, Will discovers something Mike very much likes. And after a truth or dare game with the party, carefully orchestrated by Max, the snowball turns into an avalanche…

    Jim Hopper vs. the lanky, loudmouthed lawn chair that is Mike Wheeler.
    Two years into college and the kid is still here, surviving empty gun chambers and explosive plumbing.

    OR

    A day in the life of Hopper, where he is visiting Will and Mike's shared apartment.
    He loves his step-son too much to say it out loud, but his face says it all.
    He's looking for reasons to punch the kid!

    College Byler thru the lens of Hopper, who is strictly Mike-phobic!

    Summary

    Mike accidentally overhears a random girl spilling the fastest way to win a guy's heart in one night: good food, a proper massage, and barely any clothes — preferably, all three at once.

    Spoiler: it only takes him thirty-six minutes
