Summary
Mike Wheeler has been dealing with semi frequent sleep paralysis for the past eight months, ever since one of his first nights in his college dorm room. At first he could deal with it, let it just be a part of his life. His doctor said it was just stress, prescribed him pills that didn't help and just made him even more tired. He couldn't deal with any other changes.
Besides... these dreams have been getting awfully... personal, as of late.
OR: Mike Wheeler's sleep paralysis demon is shaped like his childhood best friend, and he can't help the wet dreams that happen during these near-nightly sessions.

Summary
"Last night, the painting... it came to life! He spoke to me and... it was his voice. It was his voice, Jonathan."
It's 1999, and Will Byers is a successful artist in NYC, making ends meet despite the difficulties his lifestyle presents. Only problem? He's out of inspiration and running low on funds, having sold the last of his paintings at a charity auction he didn’t even want to be a part of. So his therapist suggests he paint the thing he can’t seem to let go of, and with that homework he decides to paint a portrait of the One That Got Away.
It's fine, and somewhat cathartic... until the painting starts speaking with the voice of his deceased childhood love. His best friend, painted in the colors that hold all the words and thoughts he could never say.

Hollow Point Is A TV Show (One-Shots) by ficsbydarienjay
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
A series of different one-shots that take place in the world of "Our Story, Just Different Again". These are canon to lite-canon, but not necessary moments for the focus of the primary narrative. Consider this a collection of "deleted scenes" that would fit in like a Director's Cut in some cases. If you choose to read, you may find interesting callbacks to the main story, and maybe a good mix of fluff and angst for these boys.
First chapter is the official Hollow Point lore bible! The rest are one shots from the universe of the primary fic (as well as a few surprises along the way).

Summary
Mike is a brat sometimes... okay, most of the time. It just so happens that this time he's really pissed Will off, and if Will doesn't do something about it then it's gonna be a part of their patterns. Mike pisses him off, he fucks Mike until he's a mess, Mike doesn't learn a lesson, repeats the offending behavior.
But it's just so hard to not give him what he wants when he's got those sweet eyes.
(A short snippet of Mike getting it.)

Summary
Mike and Will have been together for some time, and have their patterns. Sometimes things come up when they're experimenting or playing, and they need to be discussed. Tonight is one of those nights, and they might need to talk through some rather... upsetting implications of their sexcapades they didn't consider till just now.
(Implied/Reference CSA metanarrative for Will's Vecna trauma and how Mike and Will navigate when these things come up)

Summary
Hollow Point is a TV show from the world of "Our Story, Just Different Again". The show aired for 7 years and was about young witch-boy Billy Palmer (played by William Byers) and his coming of age story in fighting the forces of evil. Mike Wheeler has been a huge fan of the show, and was crestfallen when the show's 5th and final season landed with a dud. Now their paths cross, one year after the show's abysmal ending. Can Mike keep his fanboy status a secret long enough to get information on the rumored 6th season, or will his lies be revealed before he even has the chance to ask Will if he remembers the summers they knew each other before the show?
