Summary
“Mike? C'mon, wake up!”
Mike felt shivers down his spine. Breathed in, breathed out. Okay, he thinks to himself. Okay. You’re exhausted, and hallucinating your ex-best friend screaming your name. That’s perfectly normal. That’s fine.
Eighteen months after everything ended, Mike Wheeler is failing to write a story about a paladin who waited too long. Then Will's voice starts calling to him from the void, and Mike has to relive every moment he was too blind to see what was right in front of him.

Summary
“Oh.” Mike snapped his fingers, huffing out a laugh. “Oh, this is like that- that black and white movie my mom likes to put on at Christmas. The Jimmy Stewart one.” He stood a little taller, a wild look in his eyes. “Alright! I’ve learned my lesson! I can go home now, and appreciate my life, yada yada.”
Nothing happened. Mike snapped his fingers again, more urgently, before raising his voice in a yell.
“Lesson learned! I wanna go home!”
The world stayed as it was, broken and decayed, and Mike screamed into the cold, stale air.
—
Or: After a bad fight with his friends, Mike wakes up in an alternate reality that seems to be plunged into an apocalyptic nightmare.
Being rewritten for real this time!!

Summary
“I’m sorry, who are you?” Will asks. Mike knew the question was coming; he’s heard it almost every day since they defeated Vecna. But it still feels like a knife to the gut.
“I’m Mike.” Even though he knows that Will is better off without him, better off forgetting him, he still prays for even a flicker of recognition to flash across Will’s face when he hears his name. But Will’s face stays blank.
“Well, nice to re-meet you, Mike,”Or; after the final battle, will loses his memories, more specifically, all of his memories of the upside-down… and all of his memories of mike (a byler 50 first dates/eternal sunshine of the spotless mind au)

Summary
Mike’s eyes snag, as they always do, on the knight in front. His shield was lifted, body angled protectively forward. The heart painted on the shield catches the light from his desk lamp. Except…
Mike blinks. The heart isn’t red, it's yellow.
or: Hawkins has always been dangerous, but nothing terrifies Mike and Will more than losing each other. As everything crumbles around them they face old wounds, hidden fears, and the words they’ve waited years to say.
A conformity gate inspired finale fix-it that switches between Mike and Will's povs.
