Meet Me By The Swings by alexandco088

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

Byler One Shots - Blingyu(s) by blingyus

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.

With a lawyer of a mother, a step-father constantly busy working too, and a hardly present college student of an older brother, Will Byers doesn't have anyone at home to look after him. He's transferred to a boarding school for boys where it is assured that everything is fine between all students and that they still have a good working environment. Is it all fine, though? "If you could find it in your heart to at least understand my feelings for you, I would give you the whole world. I love you." ⚠️TW:⚠️ - Drug/alcohol usage - Profanity - Homophobia - Gore; it's not that serious but there may be some mentions of blood or other triggering things - Mentions of SA/r4pe

Maybe things aren't half bad after all?-byler by bylerstories_18a

Will Byers hates his life mainly because the one he loves most is in love with his sister and he's straight (so he thinks) Mike has also been ignoring Will the whole summer until school starts and he finds out something he would have never expected

Byler - You're the Heart by blue_emb3r

NOT COMPLETED - LEFT UNFINISHED Someone can adopt this fic and finish it if u want but it lowkey sucks This story takes place 7 months after Season 4 After Vecna killed Max (even if it was for only a minute) his plan was a success. But since Eleven interrupted Max's death and brought her back Vecna isn't able to carry out his plan fully. He has been torturing Hawkins for the past few months while he heals. Nothing is the same anymore. During all this, Mike realizes something. Ever since El broke up with him he feels different. Why does he feel so different around Will? Written from different point of views Usually third person, Mike's POV, Will's POV 🏅 Most Impressive Ranking - #9 in Byler SLOW BURN Warnings ⚠️ : A*gela 🤮 Violence Gore Angst Profanity Homophobia Ships : Byler OBV (Mike x Will) Jancy (Jonathan x Nancy) Rockie (Robin x Vickie) Lumax (Lucas x Max) Duzie (Dustin x Suzie) Jopper (Joyce x Hopper) This is my first story so please don't judge me too much 😭 I will prob post like every 3 days and each chapter will be around 1K words. This story's prob gonna be a long one so grab ur popcorn 🍿

Love Me Back // Elmax Fanfiction by icryovereverythingg

Max has been feeling really odd around her best friend, El. She loves her more than she's ever loved anyone or anything, ever- as a friend, of course. These feelings are crushing Max to pieces, and she doesn't know what to do about it. *(Guys, they're not actually just going to be friends. They obviously like each other, they're gonna be soft lesbians, okay? Okay.) !!MAJOR S3 SPOILERS!! ALSO: HUUUGE TW ON THIS STORY. i'm mentally ill as hell i can't just write a happy story 😌 i've included tws before all of the chapters that i think need them, but if there's any chapter that you think should have another tw PLEASE let me know. (This Fanfiction takes place after season three, but Eleven and Will still live in Hawkins. Hopper is still dead, as is Billy. Eleven lives with Will and Joyce. The Party still hangs out; they are as close as ever.) (There is also gonna be some Byler, but not whole chapters or anything like that)

One and Only (Byler) by itstoatallyplatonic

Since we were all so wrongfully robbed of Byler in season 4, I've made the executive decision to write this. ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ What the hell do you do when you've fallen hard for your best friend? And if it all seemed hopeless before, he has a girlfriend, and most definitely isn't into guys. But what if he is, what if he feels the same way? But what happens when the world is falling apart around you, and it's up to you, and your nerdy friends, to save it? Cover art by Noodles_and_Tea (on TikTok). Lover her <3! Will and Mike are both 16 here, but will get older towards the end. (Story set in Hawkins, Indiana).

But it backfires and she becomes vulnerable to The Mind Flayer as it possesses her. A few months later, Mike starts to hear his girlfriend's voice in his dreams, begging for him to save her. They manage to save El from a terrifying place; though when she comes back home, she isn't the same and she refuses to tell anyone what actually happened in the lab. A threat has entered Hawkins once again. This time, it has control of El, and it refuses to leave her and Hawkins without a fight.
