Summary
On the brink of leaving Hawkins for college, Will Byers has given himself a deadline: tell Mike how he feels, hear the rejection he's already certain is coming, and finally, properly let go.
Meanwhile, Mike is beyond happy that things are finally good between him and Will. And whatever that restless thing in his chest is every time Will laughs, he is not looking at it too closely.
Everything changes when two kids show up — one the spitting image of Mike, other the spitting image of Will — claiming to be Mike's son and Will's daughter from thirty years in the future.
OR
Mike and Will meet their future children: but, in order to protect the timeline, the kids introduce themselves as Mike's son and Will's daughter — as in, with other people. Miscommunication, terribly wrong assumptions, and time travel shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Mike's life is split into two, clean halves. His life in Indiana, in the sun's harsh light, where he's fucked up in more ways than one. And then there's his other life, under the alias of legendarymichael, on the never-ending planes of the Internet. His digital heaven, where Mike exists as an untouchable, faceless deity; worshipped and praised.
Mike is good at keeping the two separate. Or so he thought, until Will Byers collides into his neatly sliced life, and derails it all when he takes a bite from both halves.
Alternatively:
Faceless content creators legendarymichael and williamethyst snowball into an online rivalry. At the same time, Mike Wheeler meets Will Byers at a dog park, and begins to fall in love. Those two sides of their lives begin to bleed into one perfect storm.
