Summary
The True Blue series celebrates my two favorite characters. I want to write them a thousand happy endings. This is my first.
A slow-burn, mostly canon-compliant Stranger Things novelization with a Byler endgame. Above all else, this is a love story told entirely through the POVs of Mike Wheeler and Will Byers. We remain rooted in their inner worlds — limited to their knowledge, thoughts, and feelings.
Every title is a different lyric pulled from Lucy Dacus’s Boygenius song "True Blue." Each season has its own through-line:
* Season 1: You can’t help but become the sun (Mike POV)
* Season 2: I remember who I am when I’m with you (Will POV)
* Season 3: You were happy, and I wasn’t surprised (Will POV)
* Season 4: I can’t hide from you like I hide from myself (Mike POV)
* Season 5: Your love is tried and true blue (Mike/Will alternating POV)Major rewrites are coming in Season 5, but for now, let's start from the top. Each episode will be its own chapter; each season its own work. Thanks for sticking with me.

Summary
A post-canon (with some small tweaks) road trip full of tension, nightmares, gay panic, and a very long drive toward the truth.
*
Will just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn’t plan on sharing motel beds, surviving Mike Wheeler’s jealousy spiral, or confronting feelings he’s spent years burying.
Mike thinks Will likes girls.
Will thinks Mike will never love him back.
Both of them are wrong.Or
Water dripped from Will's hair, ran down his jaw, caught on his lips.
Mike stared at it.
Stared like he'd forgotten where he was.
Then, slowly he lifted a towel and pressed it gently to Will's mouth, wiping the water away. His hand didn't even shake. He was steady.
Will's breath stuttered. Tingles tremored all the way up his spine.
He didn't move. He couldn't. He was too aware of Mike's hand, of the way his eyes kept dropping back to his lips.
That look again.
The one Will had seen a dozen times now and never understood.

Summary
In the fractured, post-earthquake landscape of Hawkins, Mike Wheeler is drowning in a silence of his own making. Living under the same roof as Will Byers should be easy, but the proximity is becoming a slow-burning fuse. Mike is "bad at feelings," a trait that has already cost him his relationship with El and is now threatening the only bond he has left.
When a rainy movie night spiraling into a heated confrontation leads to a desperate search through the woods, Mike is forced to confront the "monster" inside him—the defensive instinct that lashes out at the people he loves most. But as the lines between friendship and something deeper begin to blur, the stakes shift from survival to honesty. Navigating the pressures of small-town expectations, a hostile father, and the overwhelming weight of years of "just friends," Mike and Will must decide if they are willing to burn down the safety of their past to build a future they never thought possible.
