Summary
Mike has always lived to feel needed, like an innate urge to protect the things he cares for.
And yet, right now he is the one who needs.
He needs Will, more than anything he’s ever needed in his entire life.
“You…you can’t leave me,” Mike says, his voice sounding smaller, younger than his normal register.
Will rests his head on top of Mike’s. “I won’t,” he whispers into his hair. “I promise.”
Basically a retelling of the 24 hours immediately following Vol. 1, with added fluff and flashbacks, the infamous mixtape, Mike being a more fleshed-out character, and a much-needed confession from Will.

Summary
A collection of one-shots in a canon-compliant Byler universe, updated approximately whenever I feel like it.
YES, this is still canon-compliant Byler endgame after ST5! (Mike's coming out and their relationship has not been written yet, but it's coming.)

Summary
NOVEMBER 6TH, 1986
In the three years since Will Byers went missing, the town of Hawkins has been under constant threat of the creatures from the Upside Down. But now, eight months after Vecna has ruptured a giant rift through the town of Hawkins, that threat is about to reemerge. Unaware of Vecna's true plans and trapped under a military quarantine, our heroes will not only be forced to face the greatest evil from the Upside Down, but also overcome impossible odds, in order to save the world, and each other, one last time.
Written in a SCREENPLAY format, this fic operates as a diverging conclusion for the final season of Stranger Things.

Summary
“I didn’t mean to.” Will says in a small voice.
“I know buddy. I know. I don’t blame you. It’s not your fault. He was a bad guy anyway ok?” Dustin says reassuringly.
Will shakes his head and looks down. Tears fall faster down his cheeks.“We need to get out of here. Find the others, ok?” Dustin leans over to catch Will’s gaze. Dustin helps him stand, the metal chair creaks slightly under the shift in weight. Dustin supports him around the waist and slings Will’s right arm around his shoulders. He bends down to snatch a keycard from the corpse on the floor.
The pair awkwardly hobble to the door.
Dustin presents the stolen card to the reader and waits for it to flash green.He opens the door slowly. It creaks, loud in the otherwise barren room.
Dustin strains his neck and peaks down the hallway.
Oh god.It's a bloodbath.

Summary
“It doesn’t matter if it takes a hundred more crawls,” Mike says, planting his hands against the table. “A thousand! We don’t stop until we’re goddamn sure that wrinkled, rotting, noseless bastard is dead and gone and never coming back.”
Will’s smiling, now, looking reassured. And Mike’s saying it for El’s sake, but also Will’s. Max’s. Eddie’s, too. Everyone who’s been hurt by this monster, who won’t be able to sleep at night with even the slimmest chance that he might still be out there.
He has to do something. And until there’s a better plan, or more information to go off of, this is the only option.
He puts his hand out above the table. “Everyone in?”
Lucas, looking determined, slaps his palm on top of Mike’s. Then Will. Then, when there’s only one of them left, they turn to look at Dustin.
Dustin’s mouth twitches to the side. His torn Hellfire shirt ripples in the late-autumn breeze. “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter,” he says. His voice is low, almost scarily detached. Like he has nothing left to lose. “Just wish I could do it myself.”

Summary
Jackson curled further into himself, eyes glued to his lap, and Will deflated some, forcing himself to calm down. Jackson didn’t want this. He didn’t want a scene. It was why Will had insisted he’d cover this, because he knew how much Mike hated dealing with asshole parents.
Maybe he should have let him take this one. Mike had practice dealing with this sort of thing, even if it was usually from the other side of the desk. Will had dealt with plenty of rude comments about how he was raising his son, sure, but it hadn’t given him thicker skin. It had worn away at him until he was sharp and angry, whirling around in supermarkets and snapping at the old ladies who’d mumble under their breath.
He was just- he was so tired. He was sick and tired of everybody else thinking they were entitled to saying this shit, just because he didn’t fit into some cookie cutter mold. He was tired of Jackson having to hear it, and Ceci. They shouldn’t have to.
Sometimes, Will wished he was normal, just so they could be too.
The circumstances through which Will became a father weren't conventional or ideal, but he would raze the Earth to the ground for his kids if he had to.
(Runs in the family.)

Summary
“I'm so glad to hear that, I feel like I put a lot of pressure on Jupiter with my health issues,” IO said with a sad tone and he sat back down on the hospital bed. It creaked with both of their weight on it. He grabbed the notepad with both of his hands looking down at the soft doodle. Moon hesitantly smiled.
———————
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the planets were humanoid! Breathless is a story based around the Gas-Giants attempting to live in a crazy household back to back with their moons. Jupiter has to deal with his four major moons and their differences. Breathless is based around IO and his found medical condition that might be quite problematic...
(Jupiter is seen as a FATHER FIGURE! Not their biological father! They aren't related at all! For more reasons I have to state, this ISNT canon. Some personality and some choices wont match up to the direct characters.)
!Breathless is a story about hardship and to show people they aren't alone going through different scenarios!

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.

The Apricity Of You: The Boy in the Tower by beebopbyers

Summary
Looking over to the open windows of the tower, the view of nothing but crowded trees that hid the taunting glowing city from afar.. the place he truly belonged to, made him let out a low, menacing hum.
With a flick of his wrist, the dark slimy vines closed the window shut – the darkness enveloping them. Just a fleeting sight of light seeped through the cracks from above, falling down to the little boy's fluttering amber eyes.
Vecna – or Henry, slowly clasped his hands behind his back, staring down at him.
"You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together, William."
Yet somewhere beyond Vecna's reach, an oathless paladin unawarely moved through The March and searched something he could believe in – a devotion with no name - and it was going to collide paths with him, waiting for him in a tower that was built through shadows no spell could find..
For his fate was already bound to the blessed cleric that the world once thought they lost.

Summary
“Will? Will Byers?” The edge of a face comes into view as the car’s obnoxiously tinted windows get rolled down, all black hair and wide eyes and confused, furrowed brows.
Will, to his dismay, recognizes the face immediately.
“It’s Mike,” Mike Wheeler adds, rather unnecessarily. “From camp.”
From camp, as if Mike hadn’t–
“Hi,” Will says anyway, because being wet and soggy and stranded on the side of the road kind of limits his leeway for snark. He shifts in his soaking wet shoes, glances up at the thundering sky, and thinks about how much he hates his life. “Yeah. It’s me.”
Will's a good person, really. But apparently the universe thinks otherwise. Why else would it send him a broken down car, a dead phone, a thunderstorm, and Mike Wheeler (and Mike Wheeler's horrendous Tesla) all in the same afternoon?

Summary
“I thought you were going to propose to her." Dustin said after a long, uncomfortable silence. There was nothing left for Mike to vomit up, but he continued clutching the bucket tightly in his fingers as if it were what was keeping him breathing.
Lucas watched him.
His empty, distant eyes stared coldly at the porcelain tiles with indifferent wonder. This had been the case since long before last night.
"It was all bullshit." he says, his voice drawn out and trembling under the sound of each syllable.
☆
Will Byers got married on a Saturday, at the end of a sunny summer afternoon in the backyard of Harrington Mansion, in a simple family ceremony.
Mike Wheeler, the groomsmen, broke up with Jane Hopper the following morning.

Mike feels like his heart’s racing a mile a minute. Like he just jumped off a building and is waiting for the fall, the inevitable conclusion of it all. For Will to scream and push him away for crossing some arbitrary line they drew in the sand some number of years ago.
But he doesn’t. He never lands. Will doesn’t say a thing.
In the aftermath of everything that happened at the MAC-Z, Mike tries to make sense of where he and Will stand—whenever he gets a chance to in the midst of the world's potentially impending doom.

Summary
"I'm telling you, this is the weirdest shit I've seen all year. And I think we can all agree shit has been pretty weird."
It's November 1987, and life in Hawkins still isn't quite back to normal. The "aftershocks of last year's earthquake" (an explanation Mike still can't believe anyone buys) are becoming more frequent, spitting nasty otherworldly surprises into town. But no one has been able to track down Vecna himself. Following a lead on a mysterious delivery to the old HNL building, the Party learns Will's connection to the Upside Down may not be as severed as they'd hoped. When Will subsequently begins to see through Vecna's eyes in dreams, the gang thinks they may finally have a way to find and defeat him once and for all. As Will throws himself into this task, hoping to assuage the guilt he still feels from his last stint as the spy, Mike must grapple with his own mounting feelings of helplessness. Mike had promised Will they would be a team—but what can he bring to the table right now? And can he even hold their team together when the stakes are higher than ever, and Will won't stop pushing him away?

Summary
“We are more similar than you realize, Will. Both of us were...sensitive children. We were different. Seen as freaks. But we are special. You are special.”
Will takes a shallow breath, tries to swallow his nerves. He speaks flatly. “And?”
Henry blinks, seemingly surprised by Will’s coldness. “I chose you that day, you know.”
And Will sees himself, small and alone, riding his bike through the darkness. He sees the silhouette of something tall and not-human. He sees himself crashing his bike. Running home. But the creature unlocks the door. It follows him into the shed. It gets him.
“It was you,” Will whispers, a hand coming up to the back of his neck. The monster that took him. The possession. The visions. “It’s always been you.”
(or the one where will’s connection to the upside down is a crucial part of season 4 instead of him getting sidelined, and how it changes everything)
