The Stranger Things finale marks a dark day for Byler shippers...so here's how I imagined Byler's life moving forward after the ending. English isn't my first language, pls be kind. The story is picking up in summer, 1 year after the party graduated. It's written mainly in Mike's pov, but alternating between different pov's from time to time. I have put together a playlist you can listen to while reading the chapters. The reading time and song lenght doesn't line up, but feel free to check out the songs! I wrote them in the beginning of every chapter. I am continuously writing and publishing chapters, the story isn't finished yet!

After Will Byers comes back from the Upside Down, Mike Wheeler begins to realize he's had feelings he's never felt before. Takes place after Season 1 of Stranger Things.

"And if I said I did? If I wanted you to kiss me right here, and right now? What then?" Will's breathing was ragged. Mike's eyes light up, he wets his bottom lip, glancing between Will's eyes and his lips. "I would do it. I would do anything you asked of me." He admits. They locked eyes, the heat and tension that had been building for months at this point, Will couldn't wait any longer. Mike leaves Hawkins unexpectedly on Halloween 1983 and loses touch with Will. When Mike arrives back in Hawkins nearly 10 years later, Will doesn't recognize him. This story is about Will finding out who he is and why he left.

After the events of Vecna, Will Byers and Mike Wheeler have grown closer than ever before. Perhaps it was not seeing each other for a year, or maybe the tension in the air during their long car ride, but Mike and El are no longer an item and Will's confusion over his best friend continues to grow... *** Updates every Tuesday and Friday (I promise I'm trying to be consistent but school is super time consuming!!!) *** I do not own any of these characters or the plot etc. All creds to the Duffer Brothers. *** Set after Season 4, partially vol. 2 compliant. *** Completed: 08/11/2022

after all the times you destroyed me, i needed you like the air i breathe. ⚠️ story contains addiction, substance abuse, and other sensitive topics

-Always together? -Always. This is the story about two friends with a rare feeling in common. They're trying to figure out what is it. But they need each other to know... Mike Wheeler and Will Byers are really close since kindergarten, but they're getting even closer during this recent time. Why? Why now? Why them?

After a long stretch of silence, Mike comes back to Hawkins carrying more than a suitcase-regret, unfinished apologies, and everything he never said. Will has built a new life in the meantime, new friends and new armor, determined not to let old wounds reopen. But the moment they're in the same town again, the past starts pressing in-along with the unsettling question of whether the mysteries Hawkins created were ever truly sealed. As they chase answers they're not sure they want, they stumble through jealousy, guilt, and the fear of losing each other all over again. Friendship turns into something deeper, and far more dangerous- the kind of relationship that forces them to be honest at last. ***English isn't my first language, so go easy on me :)

Will's in love with Mike and one day he blurts it out in front of him. Mike gets mad and yells at him before leaving. Leaving Will heartbroken and without his best friend. Can they get past it?
