Summary
What happens when a beautiful boy radiates divinity like God never could? When the sound of his voice alone could make one fall to their knees in prayer? When he is so pure, so holy, so utterly angelic that he must have come from the Heavens themselves?
Or:
Mike Wheeler is an atheist in a family of good Christians. Will Byers is the son of a preacher who just moved to Hawkins from California. Mike discovers that going to church might not be all that bad.

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.

Love Will Tear Us Apart (A Glimmer Of Hope Refusing to Fade) by MagicSchoolbusDropout08

Summary
After the events of 'A Glimmer of Light Refusing to Fade,' Will, Mike, and the Party are all battle-worn, exhausted, and half-grown-up - not to mention ready for their NDA deals to carry them into an easy life of peace, luxury, and recovery.
...but, of course, that doesn't happen. Whether it's the Upside Down following them and haunting whatever city they live in the same as it haunted Hawkins or just trying to survive after what they have, it's never going to be easy.
(It's worth a shot anyway. And they'll be damned if they don't try.)

Summary
When the Byers move to California, Will is lonely, bullied, and struggling with his mental health. When Mike comes to visit, he notices that something is off, but doesn’t know what’s wrong or how to help while his best friend feels so far away even though he's physically there. However, maybe Mike finds the answer after they are brought closer than ever after El is abducted by the government and they end up facing capture, interdimensional monsters, torture, the past, their own feelings, and attempting to prevent the apocalypse. (Post-s3, rewriting s4, and predicting s5).
