    Summary

    Shane freezes.
    It hits him all at once; how exposed he is, how alone. On the ice he’s done it a hundred times, likely more. It’s expected of him, Applauded. His arms feel heavy at his sides, fingers numb, like they don’t belong to him, and he doesn’t understand why. The man infront of him is swaying so hard a stiff breeze could knock him over, so why? Why is Shane so scared? Why is he so-?
    The stranger must see it. Whatever bravado the man walked out with curdles into something mean when he realizes Shane isn’t going to swing back. Fear is blood in the water. Shane's thoughts are scattered, looping: he’s so far from home. He’s alone. So far from home. Don’t get hit. Don’t get hit.
    The man draws his fist back. No penalty.

    ~

    Shane gets into an altercation outside a bar after a visiting win. Ilya intervenes. Neither of them are happy about it.

    Summary

    "He refused to remember anything, to remember a world after Will. He didn't want there to be a world after Will.
    Apparently, his subconscious decided that the best way to avoid that was to surround himself with Will.
    He assumed that's why he was now in his basement."

    Or: Will "dies" and Mike has the biggest crashout the world has ever seen.

    Summary

    There's a strange, unfamiliar feeling that lingers in the air. Neither knows if it's shared by the other. It feels like a rift, forcing them apart and then back together.
    No - it's something more real. More tangible. More terrifying.

    "Mike?" Will says quietly, his voice distant.

    "Yeah?"

    "...Were you lying?"

    Silence.

    "...Mike?"

     

    Following the ending of S5 vol 1., Mike and Will navigate their feelings for each other, dangerous misunderstandings, an ultimately manipulated story, and, unknowingly, how to break their curse when it inevitably all comes down to them to save the world -- and each other.
    **this fic IS byler, but it's written into the story in a realistic way that makes the story and especially mike's character make much more sense. him, will, and especially el, deserved so much better.
    plot holes and (most) of our grievances will be fixed in this story.
    stay tuned, this is something i plan to finish :)

    Summary

    “We have a plan.” Robin says casually.

    Will straightens from the cabinet like it just shocked him. “A what?”

    “A plan,” she repeats, too casually, like they’re talking about redecorating or what to make for dinner, “A get-Will-laid-by-Mike-plan.”

    or

    Mike Wheeler has a habit of walking around Will's and his shared dorm room in nothing but a towel. A small one. Too small. And it's driving Will absolutely crazy. So when Mike and Will go over to Robin and Vickie's place one night to watch a movie. They tell Will their plan. Have Will seduce Mike, and then have him get laid by Mike.

    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 their town, 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

    Ilya got up then, walking over to Shane's side of the lounge so he could nestle his hand into the boy's dark hair, for the sake of eye-contact. "Ah, I hear you are great at giving interviews but I don't believe it. No, cannot be true. Sweet Canadian boy only has a tongue for his boyfriend, hm. Is that what it is?" 

    Shane flushed at the condescending choice of words, eyes watering as he looked directly into Ilya's wolfish expression. "I don't, didn't mean it," he tried, head slumping forward to land on Ilya's shoulder as he grew steadily hard under his sweatpants. 

    "Oh, so you are too fucking stupid to say what you mean, I get it," Ilya plastered a grin as he added, "Is my baby too slow to use his words? Or is the great Shane Hollander just dumb hockey player?" Ilya cooed, tightening his grip as he stuck his thumb into Shane's pliant mouth. "I think I will have to do the talking for both of us, tell the press you can only take my dick now. Is all you're good for."

    Or, the dumbification of Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler has it all. He and Will are living together in their own little house, their friends and family visit all the time, and all is peaceful for the first time since November 1983. He couldn't ask for a more picture-perfect life -- until a knock on the door and a visit from a long-lost friend changes everything.

    OR

    Mike gets Vecna'd & has to figure out how he (and Max and Holly) can escape Henry's mindscape -- and if he even wants to.

    Summary

    A prediction of season 5 volume 1. Byler centric. Accurate to pretty much everything we know (I hope).
    This isn't half of what I think will happen and maybe I'll update this in the future but it's really important to me that I publish this before season 5 releases.
    Have fun and please support small writers<3

    Summary

    Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”

    Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”

    The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.

    Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.

     

    Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

    Summary

    I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
    .

     

    Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.

    Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.

    It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.

    But now?

     

    Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.

    It was driving Will crazy.

    Summary

    Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.

     

    “I have an idea,” says Mike.

    Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”

    “No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”

    “Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.

    Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.

    Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.

    “Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”

    As your date."

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.
