The months of May through July were always magical for Mike Wheeler, whether that be because of the annual Hawkins Fourth of July celebration, or the unlimited time to hang out with friends, eat junk, or go missing all day was presented on a silver platter to him between these months-something was always so magical. More so this summer than ever before; longing looks, movie nights in the secluded basement (where Will and Mike were free to slather each other in kisses when nobody was watching), Making out in Mike or Will's room when the house was empty, kissing in the sickeningly-sweet thunder storms of their dreams, or even the secret touches that lit Mike's skin a-flame for no reason whatsoever. But what happens when said summer puts him in shambles, and forces him to finally come to terms with not only what he wants, but who he wants? Strings attached this time. or, Mike and Will spend a summer in a blissful no-strings-attached fling, Mike unable to come to terms with himself until they are already over. ༉‧₊˚. 📺 ˚ ˖ ﹒ stranger things ( mike wheeler x will byers ) fanfic originally on ao3 @flickergates fanfic tiktok @bylergates started january 14th, 2026 / first published january 15th, 2026 / finished na / summer fling!trope / second chance romance!trope / no vecna!au / henderhop / lumax rankings #3 - "summerfling" (02.12.26) #4 - "2015" (02.12.26) #6 - "theparty" (02.12.26) #6 - "oblivious" (02.12.26)

The series ended abruptly. Not all of us were satisfied. As a #byler4life , I definitely wasn't. So here's a post-s5 story. Everything is back to as it was 5 years ago, before November 6th, 1983. Hawkins, the places, the people, have all, almost healed. For the people of Hawkins, it was just a 'Natural Calamity', but we all know what it was. The only thing that remains are the memories, and their shared trauma. Along with healing, many more emotions from THE HEART come to light. We are gonna go further beyond their graduation. Will we finally get what we wanted? Or do we have to go on many more adventures before finally getting there? STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT.

"Are you sure? I thought I'd be sleeping on the floor anyway," Mike smiles. "Yeah," I whisper, trying to ignore the smell of cologne on his neck as he pulls me closer. It never felt weird how he always found a way to make contact with me but sometimes I couldn't separate him from his actions. I read into everything when we were growing up. "So, no bar tonight? Can we eat first before we argue with everyone about what to do?" Mike says, letting go of me and sitting on the bed. I laugh at his smirk. "I've never been to New York so you have to tell me what to do." After the events of Stranger Things, Mike and Will are still friends. They've both moved away and moved on from the last six years in Hawkins but when Mike goes to visit Will in New York, they both realize some things never change. Told from both perspectives. I do not own Stranger Things or the copyright therein.
