An alternate version of what happens between Mike and Will in season 3 ep 3 it will slightly follow the storyline of some episodes after that then onto season 4. It's crossposted on ao3 with the same title my username is pj0295 so you can find it. I drafted earlier chapters to focus solely on season 4 with brief mentions of what happened during the season 3 story arc so check ao3 to read everything that happened in this story during season 3 and season 4
It will eventually contain mentions of depression and slight suicidal thoughts (it's not really directly addressed)
Probably a long slow burn, so I can have something to do during this quarantine

Should I Stay or Should I Go -- Byler
After a long and grueling friendship of secret one-sided love, William Byers is ready to give up on Mike as Mike finally begins to discover his true feelings. However, Will is soon taken into custody by his father, Lonnie, and is taken far away from Hawkins. Mike must come to terms with his own emotions and find his best friend. Can they survive together or get burnt by love? I hate to say that I have stopped writing this fic of Wattpad and have moved to A03 where I am currently rewriting it. I would love it if you read my retelling there! I would like to say though, if you want an incomplete ending, the first part is finished here. My story on A03 is the same title and Authors Name as on here. Love to see you there! Edit--4/10/24 I had taken this fic down for a while and spontaneously decided to put it back up. I wrote this at a very different point in my life and am not necessarily planning on returning to this story on A03 or Wattpad, however, the first section is complete and has a semi-definitive ending. If you decide to read the rest (aka S2), you will just need to leave a lot to imagination. I am reuploading this tonight at 8:00PM EST. Thank you again to anyone that has enjoyed this fic and supported me at any point! !!!Trigger Warnings!!! -Suicidal Thoughts -Abuse -Very Aggressive Language and Derogatory terms -possibly will be gore-ish subjects (I mean duh it's stranger things lol) (If there are any others I will add them here) #3 in #Will Byers--8/6/22 #11 in #tag--10/1/22 #33 in #byler--10/1/22 Enjoy!!!Complete

1/6/2026: hey guys this story is so old and it is so cringe but it's a part of me. my writing was so bad back then tho so pls bare with me this story is based on the song heather by conan gray, in which will is jealous of mike and eleven's relationship because he has a crush on mike. will believes mike will never like him back because mike is straight, but what if will is wrong and mike isn't straight? this story takes place during season three. it will be similar, but not exact. only certain events will be accurate to the actual show, but it'll mostly be stuff that i make up. 🛑 i do not own any of the characters from the actual show or any of the plot from the actual show! the things i do own is the plot that i make up or any oc's that could potentially be added!🛑 ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ swears and/or slurs WILL be used in this story ONLY because the 80's were a very homophobic time, so i apologize in advance if anyone is hurt by it. i myself am part of the LGBTQ+ community, so i can completely understand if you get upset.Complete

Byler One Shots - Blingyu(s)
A collection of different Byler stories I've created. All are posted as separate fics on my AO3 Account (Blingyu) but I thought it'd be nice to post them here as well. There are 9 separate stories all ranging from 3.8K words - 10.4K words Basic Summaries: 1. A story of Mike discovering that Will is his person and what that means for his sexuality 2. Will thinks Mike has a crush on a girl only to realize a bit too late that they were already on a date 3. The same story as number 2, only from Mike's perspective instead (with some different scenes) 4. Mike knew what Will was saying with the painting in the van scene. When Will tells him he's the heart in reference to El, he thinks he might've been wrong. 5. Will accidentally starts flirting with Mike because he likes seeing him blush. Will doesn't fully realize the implications of that. 6. When Mike is confronted with the fact that Will hasn't had his first kiss he stupidly steps up to offer it to him. 7. Will tends to zone out around Mike, especially when it comes to the topic of dating. He realizes he missed an important discussion about that a little too late. 8. Byler celebrating 4 Christmases from the years of 1984 to 1987, starting as friends and growing into something more. 9. When Mike finds out Lucas is bisexual it helps him gain courage in coming out to him and telling Lucas about his feelings for Will. Lucas decides to help Mike get them together.Complete
This Is Christmas
[This story takes place 8 months after season 4] Mike has always been in denial about his feelings towards Will. He had pushed him away multiple times because of this denial but now Will and his family is back in Hawkins. Will has been a wreck this past eight months of being back in Hawkins. He couldn't help but feel anxious about the situation at hand. He could feel Vecna regenerating and he was afraid, terrified. He was trying to play it off cool but he just couldn't. One night Will wakes up from a nightmare seeing and feeling Vecna and he doesn't want to be anywhere but back in Michael's room sleeping with him like when they were little. Because of Hawkins destruction and the "gates of hell" many people moved out of it. Hawkins is slowly being crept up upon by the upside down which is now making it's way into reality because of Vecna and there's only one way to stop it and Will knows it. (Started Dec, 2, 22 Finished Dec, 12, 22)Complete

***Modern Day AU*** Social Anxiety and High School don't mix. Will Byers just has to push through one more year, but a certain boy makes it so much harder, and Will can't help but wonder if he's been going about this all wrong. Maybe Mike Wheeler is just the person he needed to meet. And Maybe Will means more to Mike than he thought. Maybe that makes this terrifying. And maybe, just maybe, they both kind of love it.Complete

To any new readers, I edited this work and have a better version up on my page, so please go read that instead. This is only here for sentimental purposes of people who have read this version and want to come back to it as it was. Thank you. ~ "I don't care to die for the people I love, I'll gladly give up my life if it means taking you down for once and for all." ~ Will Byers had been having nightmares for a while now, but they seem to be getting more and more real with each new one, until he wakes up one night and realizes they weren't nightmares at all. ~ -takes place after season 4, so volume 2 spoilers -english is my second language, plus I'm dyslexic, so if you see any mistakes I'm sorry -I swear if I predict season 5, I'm done with writing cannon based stuff for the rest of my life -there's a lot of ships, but due to reasons I can't say which are endgame -there's a lot of angst, but I promise a happy ending -TW: mentions of death and gore, also gay people -posting schedule: every 2 days (except Friday, Saturday, Sunday) unless specified differently -the cover image is just my poor photoshop skills, and it wasn't even done with photoshopComplete

🚲Behind That Fake Smile💔ZodiacTheSpringer
(DISCONTINUED TO REWRITE) You would've thought that Will had finally been saved from the controlling grasp of the Mind Flayer... But you were wrong. After The Mind Flayer was defeated, Vecna, a more blood thirsty villain took over the brain of Will. Will struggled to control Vecna's control and managed to do so well through a few months. But as Will's love for Mike became stronger, he was caught at a weak spot where Vecna could take him easy peasy. Only one person can save him now... And that's Mike. (Story and names were not thought of by myself. Stranger things belongs to duffer brothers/Netflix) Going back over an editing any mistakes and the story structure once finished so please excuse any spelling mistakes!Complete

Can't Fight This Feeling - Byler
'Will heard Mike scoff and say "You are so pathetic!" before he slammed the basement door shut.' 'Well, this summer is going great. This summer is going so fucking great.' Mike never liked when he and Will fought. Even about small things. Will was the one Mike would trust with his own life. He was important to Mike. Will was Mike's person. But why has Mike been feeling nervous around Will recently?

After the events of Vecna, Will Byers and Mike Wheeler have grown closer than ever before.
