Byler. There are a lot of chapters so be prepared for a commitment!

hiding your feelings for him won't change them, you know?

Characters are always gonna be 18 or over because that's the legal age of consent. Normally fluff after smut and maybe a few angst chapters but I'm not good at writing those so don't expect a lot lol. Oh yeah and in most of these stories the Byers live in Hawkins, El and max are dating or at least mileven isn't a thing. I will not write abt feet, p!ss, pet names, or daddy kinks... If your looking for an actually like decently written story go to the bottom ones, the top ones were just experiments on how to write in general😭

After being trapped in the upside down, Will becomes corrupted, and his psychotic behavior and unhealthy obsession with his childhood best friend starts some actual problems [Edit: I wrote this years ago, I have improved both as a writer and as a person since I wrote this. But I am autistic, and very hypersensitive, so please don't make fun of this or be mean about it, because I'll probably think you're being nice because I sometimes can't tell the difference.]

Will gets a boyfriend and Mike can't figure out why it makes him angry

｡･: ▍𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 Will Byers and Mike Wheeler were practically inseparable. They had been best friends for nearly a decade and planned to remain that way for eternity. Nobody was capable of destroying the unique bond they shared except for Will's step-sister, Eleven. She wasn't intentionally trying to sabotage their friendship. In fact, she had no knowledge about Will's massive crush on Mike. However, when Mike flew to California for spring break, she wanted him all to herself. He seemed to be perfectly fine with that. He loved her more than anyone - or so Will thought. After El is brought to a top-secret location to regain her telekinetic powers, Mike is finally able to spend some time with Will. Her absence is enough to make him realize that she isn't the one he loves after all. © BYLERHOE ┊ W. BYERS X M. WHEELER

While trying to do so, he develops a close friendship with Eleven and a new kid at school, whose open sexual fluidity gives a great opportunity for advice. But when guilt and jealousy take over, things don't go smooth for either of them. (slowburn) (ALSO THERE IS NO SMUT IN THIS BOOK) takes place after the plot of s3 just in case you're here after s4 🤞
