    Summary

    Noah buys an apartment in New York.

    It’s supposed to be his — just his. A place to breathe, somewhere quiet, somewhere that doesn’t feel like a hotel room or a set or someone else’s couch.

    Then Finn shows up with a screwdriver and a very strong opinion about where the couch should go, and somehow never quite leaves.

    (Neither of them talks about it. That’s the problem.)

    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

    The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.

    Also known as the answer to Mikewhatthefuckdidyoudo gate

    Steve Harrington is to Mike what Robin is to Will

    Season 5 Rewrite to follow WHILE THIS IS A COMPLETE WORK, THE SEASON 5 REWRITE IS A WIP

    Everything is tagged appropriately. If you choose to read, that is your prerogative. No smut occurs until chapter 36.

    Summary

    “’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.

    “Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.

    “Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”

    It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.

     

    .........

    or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.
