ACSWY Historical Timeline
Not me desperately creating a timeline to keep track of all the small morsels of Will and Mike’s past history sporadically dropped in @campbyler’s “a cruel summer with you” fic because I’m going insane wondering what happened…
They are currently 19 in 2023, having just finished their first year at college.
2022 (18 yo) -
- Will pushed Mike off the dock and he had trouble swimming apparently lol
- But Mike also apparently shoved Will in the lake at some point
- [not at camp] “follow the sparks (i’ll drive)” occurs
2021 (17 yo) -
- Something made Mike’s anger at Will “return with a real vengeance”
- Something happened that had them on even footing that they “do not talk about” (both POVs mention this year as off-limits conversationally lol) [next bullet point?]
- Will had a breakup and Mike was apparently there for him “as much as Max and El”
- [Joyce and Hopper get married]
2020 (16 yo) - Their first year as junior counselors.
- [not at camp] The Pasta incident (Mike got sauce all over him and Will saw the mess over FaceTime)
- [Mike came out as bisexual this year, though not at camp]
- [Joyce and Hopper move in together]
2019 (15 yo) - The year “their group of friends really became a group.”
- The slime incident (which caused Mike to have to shave his head–he retaliated in some way that also caused Will to have to shave his head)
- Justin Bieber was Mike’s “accidental top artist on Spotify” XD
- Will stopped wearing polo shirts lol
- “Mike and El break up (right before camp/right at the start)”
- [Hopper and Joyce are dating]
- [Hopper officially adopts El]
2018 (14 yo) -
- Things go bad(?) as Will is now “the worst part” of Mike’s summers
- The first lake incident occurred (where Mike ended up in the water after the canoe tipped and Will laughed at him)
- Mike and Will started the Great Food Fight (with Mike getting egg on Will)
- Dustin and Mike did gave “the worst rendition of “baby” by justin bieber to ever be heard in all of human history” at the talent show, subsequently ending the annual talent shows lol
- Mike and El start dating at the end of the summer
- [Hopper fosters El]
2017 (13 yo) - The boys’ first year at camp.
As yet undated incidents:
- Something happened at an end-of-summer camp dance(?) during Fearless by Taylor Swift
- They have kissed before!! (More than once apparently, years ago, and it appears they were Mike’s first kisses!)
- Will alludes to Mike previously orchestrating something for revenge over what happened when they were 14
- A previous time they were on even footing: “the last time they’d been on even footing like this had been…” [separate from 2021 incident, what happened??]
- The list of things Will remembered in his POV: late night phone calls, a thoughtful birthday gift, borrowed clothes, ice cream, etc.
Feel free to let me know in the notes if I forgot/misplaced anything!
