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.

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

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.
