Summary
It’s seriously hot in here. Will shifts on the carpet, his stomach rolling. It feels like his skin is welting from the heat. He blinks hard, fruitlessly trying to slow the rapid rise and fall of his chest.
“Will?” Lucas calls, sounding far away.
Across the room, there’s a clamor, and then an understanding, “Oh, fuck.”
Everyone seems to realize the same thing at once, himself included. He’s going into heat. He’s going into heat in the middle of Mike’s basement, with everyone watching.
It's the summer of 1985, and everything in Will's life is already falling apart. So, of course, puberty just has to go and make it all worse.

Summary
Both of their bodies shake as they catch their breath. Will’s still hard, and his sweat is starting to dry uncomfortably on his skin, but all he can focus on is Mike.
It’s times like these he’s reminded how lucky he is to have Mike in this way. To see this side of him, this side that still feels too new and too intimate and too overwhelming all at once. Sometimes, he thinks he may be bitter. Resentful of his lot in life, being so painfully in love with someone who will so obviously never feel the same way. On his bad days, he even thinks he might resent Mike.
Like this, though, he knows that could never be true. Not really. Sure, it hurts, only ever having Mike halfway, knowing his body but never his soul. Yes, it’s going to kill him when Mike inevitably finds someone new and runs off into the sunset, leaving him in the dust again.
But it’s Mike. He'll take whatever he can get.
When he and Mike end up in bed together after graduation, they fall into something dangerously easy. Or, at least, it would be easy, if it weren't the most painful thing Will's ever done.

Summary
Will scrambled out of the bed, tripping in his panic and hitting the floor with a deafening thud. Mike gasped- a real, lucid gasp, and sat up.
“Wha- Will? Are you-” He said, clearly confused and barely awake.
“Fine-” Will interrupted, voice three octaves higher than normal. He scrambled to his feet, keeping his front angled away from Mike and rushing towards the door.
“What’re you-” Mike cut himself off this time and as Will opened the door to the hall he couldn’t help but glance back briefly.
Mike’s hair was a mess, and he’d frozen half-way through sitting up. A stunned and abashed expression on his face that could only mean he’d realized what state his body was in.
“B-bathroom.” Will replied hastily darting out into the hall.

“You were acting dorky tonight,” Will says, breath hitching as he moves up and down.
“What?”

Summary
The Upside Down isn't the only alternate universe the party has to worry about it seems. When something inexplainable happens during a game of D&D, Will is replaced by... Will? Will the Wise appears before everyone, confused on why his friends are wearing such strange garbs and what dungeon he has stumbled into. Meanwhile, Will finds himself surrounded by fantastical versions of his friends clad in armor and robes somewhere far, far from Hawkins. The party now has a new mission to figure out how to get their Wills switched back around, and Mike needs to figure out what this feeling in his chest is all about.
Or
If Will had a nickel every time he was transported into an alternate reality that had some similarities to his normal reality, he'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice, right?

-----
"Is a kiss a possible signal or...start of a...snowball?"
"A kiss isn't a signal nor a snowball." Will frowned immediately, confusion knitting his brows together, his mouth turning down at the corners.
"What is it then?" The question came out quiet, almost afraid of the answer, but needing it desperately anyway.
"An avalanche."

Summary
He looked at the charcoal smudge again. It was so distinctly Will. It was like finding a fingerprint at a crime scene, only the crime was Mike’s rapidly disintegrating sanity.
He should close the tab. He should absolutely, one hundred percent close the tab, clear his browser history, burn the laptop, and maybe move to a monastery in Tibet where the wifi was spotty. He should walk into Will’s room right now and say... what?
Hey man, sorry to wake you, but are you spreading your cheeks to pay for our electricity bill? Because if so, thanks, but also, what the fuck?
In which, Mike Wheeler thinks he knows everything about his roommate and childhood best friend, Will. He knows Will likes his coffee black, hates the texture of anything remotely slimy, and is surprisingly good at keeping secrets. But when Mike stumbles upon a cam model named 'Lee' who films in a room that looks suspiciously familiar, he realizes he doesn't know Will nearly as well as he thought. And God, does he want to learn.

Summary
“Guys, Mike’s not like me, he just can’t name characters.” They both give him a pointed look, clearly not believing a word. “I’m serious, every character is a reference to someone we know.”
“Are they now?” Dustin raises an eyebrow at him.
“Yes!” Will is perhaps a bit exasperated, “Stephen and Jay are clearly Steve and Robin, and James is Hopper,” at the blank look they give him, he clarifies, “his first name is Jim.”
This somehow only makes Lucas seem more unimpressed, “okay, but you do see how that’s more suspicious right?”
“What? That Mike can’t come up with names?”
“No,” Lucas shakes his head and clasps Will in the shoulder, “that the first name Mike thought to cannibalize when coming up with a boyfriend for you was his own”.The party grows closer after Will moves in with the Wheelers, picking up D&D again. It all goes well until Mike introduces a new character, Sir. Gabriel Whepler, whose sole purpose seems to be flirting with Will.

Summary
“Something in him broke open the moment Will didn't come home.
It wasn't gradual. It wasn't subtle. One day he was a scared twelve-year-old boy, and the next his body was locked in a constant state of panic—heart racing, hands shaking, thoughts spiraling endlessly around a single, unbearable truth. He couldn't sit still. Couldn't sleep. Couldn't breathe without feeling like something was horribly, irreversibly wrong.
The world felt wrong without Will in it.”
OR
Mike imprints on Will, stuff happens & a now older Mike finally realizes his feelings for Will. (aka I rewrote some Stranger Things scenes to better suit my Byler tastes cuz I hated the ending.)Bookmarked by Emj

Summary
"That day, when you told us about how you don't like girls. You mentioned a crush, someone who didn't like you back…"
A punched out breath escaped Will. "I didn't think you would ever bring it up, honestly. For the longest time, I wasn't even sure you knew."
"I didn't. I just never- I don't understand.. why me? After everything that happened, why would it be me?" Mike felt like he was being wheeled into surgery, laid bare on the table for everyone to see the mess that was his heart.
"What? Mike, how could it not be you?" Will let out a disbelieving laugh. "Mike, it was always you. It had always been you back then."
Back then. Late again.
"But not anymore?"
Mike Wheeler gets drunk and confessions ensue.

Summary
"There has gotta be a better way to do this. That was awful," Mike said, turning to Will, voice hoarse and deeper than usual. Will continued rubbing Mike's back as he thought about Mike's words.
Will did know of a better way, but he was certain they shouldn't do it.
"Will?" Mike began, eyes flitting between Will's, causing Will's eyes to snap to his. "What? Is there actually a better way?"
Will hesitated at the inquiry. "Yeah- Yeah, sorry, but we can't do it."
"Why not?" Mike asked, looking confused, keeping his eyes locked onto Will's.
Will averted his eyes. "It might be too weird. It's kinda… intimate?" Will said, making it sound almost like a question.
Mike nodded thoughtfully, thinking about it for a moment before saying, "We can do it anyway, if you want. I don't mind. I trust you, Will."

Mike Wheeler and Will Byers get high together, but things go a little south.

Summary
When all is said and done, days later, when Hawkins is condemned and quarantined and the town evacuated, Wheelers and Byers divided between four motel rooms in the nearest town with any vacancies after the mass exodus from Hawkins—it’s just Mike and the painting.

Summary
He takes note of the way Will paws at his dress shirt, needy and not entirely aggressive, pressing into kisses in a way that feels like he’s asking for more rather than taking it. Persistent, but pliable if you touched him right.

Summary
Will’s not sure why it started, he's even a little hazy on how it started, but he's never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth - not when he could be kissing it.
He’d tried talking to Mike about it after the first time, to ask what it meant, but Mike had just brushed him off and pretended it never happened. Will’s heart had broken right down the middle, like a gate through Hawkins, and it was only mended when Mike pressed his lips to Will’s again, four hours later. There was obviously this rule - this unspoken law - that this was all on Mike’s terms; under the table, on the downlow.
And Will was just the grateful bastard who would get off on what he could get.

“What I just— the conversation I just had, Mike, it sucked.” Will shakes his head, eyes blistering. “And so I don’t need this, right now, okay? I don’t need you interrogating me, or worrying about my safety or—”
“Will.”
“Can we just go?"
“Before that. Please,” Mike says. “Tammy. Is…”
He hears his own breath in the space between them.
“Is it me?”
There's a little time before the apocalypse. Mike and Will hash things out.

Mike is doing his best to wrangle in his feelings for his best friend. Sure he might have a staring problem, but it’s better than the alternative of actually confronting how he feels. It’s hard but he has a pretty good handle on it, until he doesn’t.

Summary
“Sure, I think it's cute.” Will lifts onto his toes to brush his fingers over the little leaves. “But you’ve never been into all that, like, romantic Christmas magic stuff.”
“I didn’t like all that overly-romantic stuff with El,” he corrects. “Because I didn’t really want any of that with her.” When Will turns back, Mike is watching him, focused in on place where his fingertips meet mistletoe. “I’d feel different,” he says, low and indicative and eyes never-leaving-Will. “If it was the right person.”
Which sure seems like a snowball.
Or, that avalanche finally comes around.
