Summary
Slow-Burn, canon-compliant and set after season 4. Will Byers & Byler centric. If you like lots of feels and pining, a nice dose of spooky beasties, some silly character moments and seeing our boy Will kicking ass, taking names and coming of age, you're in the right place.
Premise:
It's two weeks after the fall of Hawkins and the Party are trying to figure out how to move on, find Max and stop Vecna.Will's heart is still breaking over Mike and El, but when those emotions awaken something decidedly more otherworldly and powerful he, and a strange new friend, have to confront what really happened in Hawkins on November 6th 1983 and what side Will himself is really on.
A fever-dream, mucho-feels, super long, semi-fix-it, version of Season 5.

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 his almost 17 years being alive, Will has learned many things. Very high on that list is that there’s a fine line between “best friend” and “something more.”
Michael Wheeler uses that line like a fucking jump rope.
“You… wish I had saved just you?”
or; Mike and Will chat after the Mac-Z

Home for Christmas (Please Have Snow and Mistletoe) by Julia_Skysong

Summary
He hadn't asked for a picture. That felt weird, for some reason, but now it was clearly a mistake. He should have asked, so he could have a heads up. That way he could have readjusted the image of Will in his head so he didn't feel like passing out at the sight of him.
Will had gotten hot.
Like, objectively speaking. Not in a romantic way. Mike wasn't gay. Not that there was anything wrong with that. Will was gay, he had told everyone about a year ago, but Mike wasn't. Still, he could recognize a person's general attractiveness level. He could still recognize that El was pretty even though they were no longer dating and he didn't have any feelings for her.
But Will was off the charts. And Mike was having a hard time processing this. Like what do you even say to your now hot best friend you haven't seen in 638 agonizing days, without sounding gay, but his newfound level of attraction is the only thing currently in your head?
...
The Hopper-Byers visit for Christmas, and the Party is determined to give El all the fun snowy winter experiences she never had. But Mike is having a *slight* crisis when he realizes how much his best friend has changed, and how much he can't stop thinking about it.
