Summary
Will blinks. Mike is looking at him with an amused look on his face, wide-eyed and a little pink across the bridge of his nose, and God, okay, Will wants to–
“Um,” he says instead. “Huddling? For warmth?”
“For warmth,” Lucas echoes, and then looks back at Dustin again. “Huddling. For warmth.”
“Like penguins,” Mike offers, and then rests his head on Will’s shoulder like this is supposed to be helping, or something.
Will Byers and the harrowing experience of being snowed in with your mom, your almost-stepdad, all of your friends, and your (kind of) (secret) boyfriend.

Summary
"It's fine," Will reassures them with a dismissive hand as he pulls back, "We don't have to ignore the fact that it's, like, ten days into the semester, and I'm already visiting."
"Can we also not ignore how it looks like you've been crying?"
"Jesus Christ, Lucas," Mike's voice carries through the apartment from his room, bursting back into the living room after setting Will's bags down. "He's been here for, like, four minutes."
It’s 1993, and Will is having a hard time. Mike loves Will, according to Lucas.

Summary
Will exhaled. “I just wanted you with me because… you make it easier. Just you being with me is enough, Mike.”
He wasn’t sure how or why, but that really helped, a weight slowly lifting from his shoulders.
“What you’re doing right now is enough, I promise you.”
Mike shrugged, feeling like he would always be stuck with this need, no matter how small, the need to protect.
Ten years after everything, and Will hasn't been able to shake a debilitating fear of anything medical-related. So when the only option and smart thing to do is get a blood test from the hospital, Mike is sure to take the time to be there for him.
aka will needs a blood test but has a phobia of needles and mike takes time off work to support him

Are you okay? (Byler alternate universe) by obsessionatthemoment
Fandom Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Jan 2026
Summary
This series is an alternate universe in which no supernatural things occurred (however, I do not explicitly state that none of the upside down things happened, and you can imagine that it did if you so choose). It focuses on Will's mental health, and Byler. There are also minor focuses on Will's friendship with Max and familial relationship with El. The series takes place over many years, but mainly focuses on the time when the kids of Stranger Things are in college.

Summary
Spencer looks up at his entrance, but doesn't have anything else to give. He continues pacing.
“Here,” Hotch mutters.
As soon as Spencer glances over, he realizes that the man has his bag, and is pulling out… Headphones. His headphones. Taking them quickly out of his hands, Spencer signs a simple, thank you, without realizing he’s done it. It feels easier than talking.
Spencer has something akin to an autistic meltdown; Hotch helps.

It's always been like this. Always. Sometimes the shape of it will change, but it all comes back to the same thing in the end.

Summary
A seemingly inconsequential event leads to the complete collapse of the Completely Neurotypical Don't Worry I Work Just Fine face Spencer Reid puts on when he's pretending his hardest that he isn't autistic.
Featuring an autistic Spencer Reid in a weird combination of executive dysfunction/shutdown/sensory overload, and a Derek Morgan that is a Good Person and handles the situation quickly and without being an ass about it.
(Self indulgent issues fic time, I guess. Autistic character written by an autistic author.)

Summary
On most days, he could hide them. Or at least work his way around them well enough that the rest of the team would pretend not to notice his odd behaviour. Of course, they all knew by now, even though he’d only told Emily at first.
It was only a matter of time anyway. It’s hard to keep secrets when you’re surrounded by profilers everyday.
A migraine that strong would’ve been hard to manage on a quiet day at Quantico. Being stuck on the air only made things worse.
