Summary
The demogorgon hangs midair, clawed hand extended towards Mike. Its flower-petal face opens wide, showing rows of razor-sharp teeth that drip with saliva, and it almost seems to be shaking, like it’s pushing against something, something that’s holding it back.
Will.
For a split second, Mike doesn’t recognise him. His eyes are rolled back, revealing pure white, and he holds himself with an unfamiliar confidence. His hair is slightly damp, and he seems to almost glow under the lights of the bright fire burning behind him.
He looks beautiful.

Summary
Every moment counts in life. It can make or break whatever is at stake. So, let me ask, after Will's vision tells him of the demogorgon heading to the Wheeler house...
What if Nancy Wheeler decided to go alone to protect her family, without El?
What if she arrived earlier that expected?
What if Vecna decided to send her a surprise?
And what if a eldest daughter and a father perish that night?
Dead father, dead older sister, injured mother, and missing younger sister.
All that Mike Wheeler sees is red.
Fueled by the need to avenge his dad and Nancy, and rescue Holly, Mike sets on a warpath, and with the help of his friends, tries to find a way to kill Vecna once and for all and get rid of the Upside Down for good. All the while, Mike must deal with his rapidly growing feelings for Will Byers, who may or may not love him back that way.

Summary
“Sure, alright,” Eddie agreed. His expression softened, and he rolled his shoulders back, opening up. “I’ll watch your little sheepies for you.”
“Really?” Steve grinned, “Man, that’s awesome. Thank you so much—”
“I just gotta ask one thing,” Eddie interrupted, leaning over the table and closer to Steve.
“Yeah, man,” he said, voice tight. “Anything.”
“Why’d you leave me down there, Steve?”
***
18 months after the earthquake, Steve starts having bad dreams. Which wouldn’t mean anything if it weren’t for the nosebleeds and the headaches. Hearing that clock can’t be great. Then Will feels Vecna getting close, and Steve thinks it might be best for him to sacrifice himself. He’s nice like that.

Summary
Mike Wheeler never stopped loving Eleven. He never stopped carrying the guilt of what he couldn’t save. When his nearly finished book refuses to let one character go missing, Mike realises the truth: you can’t write your way around grief.
A trip to Iceland, once a promise whispered between them on a rooftop, becomes something more than travel. It’s a pilgrimage. A love letter. A chance to say all the words he never got to say.
Amid waterfalls, northern lights, and memories that refuse to stay buried, Mike must decide whether love is something you move on from…or something that asks you to follow it, even into the unknown.

Summary
Since the duffer brothers absolutely queerbaited and bombed byler for season five, I want to rewrite season five with my own narrative so we arent queer baited and get the love story everybody wants.
---
Season Five of Stranger Things was supposed to be Hawkins' darkest hour-but what if the story unfolded the way it should have?
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have always been at the heart of it, their bond deeper than Hawkins can ever understand. Through terror, heartbreak, and mind-bending horrors, they navigate a world that's trying to tear them apart-without ever realizing how much they mean to each other.
Hawkins isn't the same without Will, and Mike's about to realize that the person he's been searching for all along has been right in front of him.

Summary
After everything they’ve lost — and nearly lost — the party holds on to each other. Will finds the courage to be more himself, but Vecna is not done using him. That’s when everything goes south.
Meanwhile, Mike starts to realize that his feelings for Will are different from everything he has felt before — and that there is a reason why being with Will has always felt like home.
[Fix it-FF with Season 5 divergences and Happy Ending, Incl. El lives!]

Summary
Will cupped Mike's jaw and bridged the distance between them, gently rubbing his face against Mike's forehead, careful to avoid the wound. His heart beat painfully with the action, at once feeling undeserving but also like this was his only chance.
I love you, he didn't say.
Will Byers has always been good at hiding. His trauma. His fears. His heart.
But when Vecna uses him to hurt Mike, he realizes the truth: he's not a weapon. He's a liability. So he'll finish this alone — even if it kills him.
Mike Wheeler has always been bad at saying what he means. But with Will missing and something inside him fracturing in a way he can't name, he's running out of time to figure it out.
Psychological horror. Mutual pining. A love confession earned in blood. -
