After a painful breakup and an isolating experience at university, Will Byers returns to Hawkins feeling exhausted, lonely, and unsure of who he's become. Hoping for comfort in the familiar, he reconnects with his longtime best friend, Mike Wheeler, only to realize that the feelings he buried years ago never truly disappeared.

The first four months had been... easy. Almost too easy. Hawkins had settled into something that felt like normal life again, the kind they used to dream about when everything was monsters and fear and survival. There were no portals tearing open the sky, no shadows lurking behind every wall. Just school, late-night bike rides, movies, and the kind of laughter that didn't feel forced anymore. Mike and Lucas spent most afternoons arguing about nothing important. Max rolled her eyes at both of them but never left. She and Lucas were still solid-strong in that quiet, unshakable way that didn't need to prove itself. Dustin had somehow become even louder, even more confident, especially lately. And El... El smiled more now. Not the small, uncertain smiles from before, but real ones. And then there was the thing no one really talked about, but everyone knew. A month ago, Dustin and El had kissed. It had been awkward and surprising and somehow perfect at the same time. Dustin had tripped over his own words for an entire week after that, and El had just laughed every time, like she finally understood something about the world she hadn't before. Everything was good. Everything was right. So why did it feel so wrong? (What happened before this story is on my tiktok @bylershipper4ever)

NEW TITLE!! Will Byers moves all the way from New Jersey to the boring/ungodly town of Hawkins Indiana. He had no choice. His father did things... that no one should know. But here he is, attending Hawkins high School freshman year, He doesn't even know what to expect, maybe that's the point..? before moving to Hawkins Indiana, he barely had friends besides his best friend Jackson but he doesn't know if their still friends after what Jackson confessed to him. But the other kids? they said he has an attitude problem. But so what? He doesn't need friends except Jackson but everything changes. So, maybe there's always new beginnings. So, he didn't think there was anything for him in Hawkins Indiana either. Not until he meets the one and only. Mike Wheeler. What do you think will happen? Will they be friends, frenemies, or something way more than all of that? But a jealous someone keeps them from doing whatever they want to do. Find out in this story! In this story El is healthy/alive But the twist is, she never had powers, she's just a normal teenager with a boring life like everyone else. Max isn't in the hospital. Lucas isn't on the basketball team. He still likes playing d&d with Dustin and Mike. But the twist for Mike, he's the shy one. He gets very nervous. especially around Will, but he starts to warm up to him eventually. There won't be any scenes from Stranger Things, everything in the store is my own twist! BUT I don't own the characters!

"You... You think I hate you?" I whispered. Mike bit his lip, drawing blood. "You have every right to hate me. Why wouldn't you?" "Mike..." I lifted my hand to his face, gently brushing a tear from his cheek. "I could never hate you. You're my best friend." "But..." Mike tried to pull away from me. "No. I'm serious." I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him into a hug, afraid to let go in case he tried anything again. "I don't hate you and I never will." ________________________________________ GaygaygaygaygayBylerGaygaygaygaygay

Yeah so I hated the way they ended byler in the show, so I'm making my own ending for them! Mike and Will parted ways, moving on with their lives, but never moving on from each other, as much as they tried. Mike often thinks of all the ways he messed up with Will, but the question is, can he fix it? (And ofc the credit for the cover goes to the artist)
