Summary
(Because after (gestures at what Netflix gave us), we really needed a rewrite.)
It's summer vacation, 1985.
After everything that's happened in the past two years, Will just wants to go back to the way things were - and the Party seems to be racing on ahead, leaving him behind as they get swept up in the new adventure of being teenagers. But when something darker threatens to reenter their lives, the Party has more to deal with than just dating and summer shenanigans.
Joyce knows that something is wrong - she can just feel it. And Hopper knows by now to trust her instinct. Together they set out to find answers - and find that not all is as they assumed.
Unappreciated and heckled at her internship at The Hawkins Post, Nancy picks up the phone to a strange call. Sensing a story, she grabs Jonathan and chases the lead.
El isn't sure who she is - or if she has the strength to defeat the evil that's rearing its head in this once-quiet town.
Dustin picks up a strange code on his ham radio.
Steve hates his Scoops uniform.
Something strange is stirring in Hawkins - something that wants to get back in.One summer can change everything.

Summary
Will Byers has a big heart, his mom always said. He loves and he loves and he loves. He gives it away because it’s too much to be contained inside one small human organ, too full to bursting. It’s always been this way, his whole life, giving away love; to crying girls in sandboxes, to loud boys on swing sets, to uncaring fathers who yell and break things and force him to change, only to leave anyway. By the time he realizes the love isn’t infinite, it’s too late to fight his nature, and his heart bleeds out, year by year, until he’s drained and tired and empty.
He cries into his hand and wonders what will happen to him when he’s truly empty. Wonders if that day is rapidly approaching. Wonders if it’s already here.
.
a hypothetical s5. they're back in hawkins now and will's friends and family are ignoring him. meanwhile he's having dreams he can't remember and everything feels like it's falling apart

Summary
It takes one, two, three seconds before Will’s heart starts beating again. And another three before he remembers to be mad at him about it. “Don’t call me that,” he protests weakly, but it’s no use. Mike’s grin only grows.
“Anything for you, Your Highness.”
“Michael,” Will hisses, yanking his hand away, but Mike is already laughing. It’s always been easy to get a rise out of him where Mike is involved, which is a fact Mike not only knows, but exploits on the regular. “I’m going to put the venom back in your arm and let your flesh rot off your body.”
Will really wishes Mike would learn that armor does not equate to invincibility. For Mike's own sake, it's probably a good thing Will knows magic.

Summary
So, when Mike comes trotting out, supplies in hand, Will wants to cry. “Can you lift up your sleeve for me?” He questions, setting the cleaning materials down next to Will.
Guilt and dread washes over him as he rolls his sleeve up, slowly uncovering the bite mark. It takes a moment for Mike to process, his eyes widening at the sight.
“Will you’re.. you’ve been - what?” by his face, Mike almost can’t believe it. His best friend, of almost thirteen years now, has been bitten. He wants to cry, scream, get him help, yet he does nothing. Nothing but stare.
OR
will gets bitten by a zombie, and mike does everything in his power to stop him from surrendering.

Summary
Just as something brushes against his leg, he throws himself forward and meets open air.
Time seems to slow. It’s a cliché, but it’s honest, and he’s trying to be honest with himself these days.
So honest that, as time slows and the wind rushing past him seems to slow as well, he admits that in a way, this is what he’s always wanted. To take control of his own fate, have a say in what becomes of him. To disappear, for good this time. Hopefully they won’t find his body. And what does it say about him, that the idea of disappearing forever and leaving everyone he loves with nothing fills him with a fucked-up sense of relief?
Will pictures his mom’s face when she hears he’s missing. And Jonathan’s. And… his friends. El. Mike.
Will Byers, missing. Again.
Dead. Again.
For good.
Fuck.

It’s been three years since the world ended. Three years since the spores began to fall, infecting people and turning them into mindless, horrifying monsters that preyed on the living. Three years since they’ve been able to relax. Three years they’ve been holding their breath, hoping against hopelessness that the nightmare will soon end.

Mike Wheeler’s Ultimate Guide to the Undead by RainyPebble07
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Mike Wheeler has now gone to his best friend's funeral twice in the same month. Everyone's telling him he needs to get over it, but it's not as easy as it sounds.
One night, Mike decides to go to the graveyard to visit Will's grave, and something unbelievable happens: Will climbs out from the ground, undead. Mike has no idea what to do, but he knows he has to help his friend return to normal and keep him a secret from the ever-looming Hawkins Lab. It's, unfortunately, a lot to ask of a 12-year-old.Pretty much: Will died after season 1 and comes back as a zombie and Mike (and the rest of the party) have to help him out and it's cute and sad and fun and silly and MiWi.
ALSO: Check notes at the beginning of chapters for TWs :)

Summary
Mike taps his shoulder to get his attention. The gesture seems so absentminded but instinctual that all Will wants to do is roll over on his side, take Mike’s face in his hands and wholeheartedly lie to him. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I swear we’ll make it back home.
But he doesn’t do anything of the sort. It’s not his place. It’s not the time. A million reasons yet none of them feel enough.
The dead start walking. Will and Mike figure out a way to survive. Together.

Summary
Three years after the Upside Down appeared to be defeated in an almost impossible battle, life seems normal. The core party is in their senior year, Will and Mike still haven’t done anything with their obvious feelings for each other, and the only issue is their dreams, well, nightmares.
Mike’s nightmares have worsened, almost tailor made to his worst fears and strangely focused on the night that the Upside Down was defeated. Meanwhile, Will’s flashbacks to the Upside Down, although never really going away, have become more frequent. So, their problem is: What is going on with the Upside Down? And are their nightmares real, or is it only a dream?

Summary
Mike Wheeler, the perfect person for Vecna to control, gets controlled by Vecna. No one would expect affectionate, hot headed, and sensitive Mike to do anything remotely violent to the people he knows.
Until he does.
THIS IS MOSTLY A HORROR FIC, NOT A BYLER FIC! But it will have Byler in it.

Summary
He didn’t really understand why someone would want to go to a cemetery for a birthday party, but hey, maybe Will was a bit of a weird kid.
“Hey Will.” Mike called, his voice gentler than he had ever heard it.
He whipped his head around, scanning the rows for another figure, desperately looking for Will. It didn’t really click until Mike stepped forward and knelt beside a grave, placing his perfectly imperfect cake in front of a well-kept headstone.
Oh.
Will Byers is dead.
So how the hell did he end up stuck haunting Mike Wheeler's basement?

Summary
"Mike!" Will repeats, more forcefully. "You're not letting me talk."
"Sorry, I just– you're alive," he states again, breathlessly.
"I'm... I'm not alive."
Mike freezes, stunned. "What? Will, what does that mean?"
Or,
A week ago, William Byers went missing. 24 hours ago, Mike's mother told him they found his body. But right now, at 10pm on the road to his best friend's house, Will is standing there, in the same clothes Mike last saw in him. Right there, his Will, talking to him and hugging him even when his funeral is in four days.
A story of grief, guilt, and ghosts.

Summary
"I just— I really miss you,” Mike says.
The look in Will's eyes is strange, something Mike doesn’t really know how to decipher or interpret. He looks— different, Mike settles on. He tries to ignore the strange, stirring feeling of his stomach and instead tries to focus on what Will is saying.
"You miss me?" Will asks. His voice sounds so much not like Will, though, Mike realizes. Although maybe he's just imagining it.
"Yeah. I miss you so much, Will."
And then Mike's hand actually touches Will’s and he's met with icing cold skin against his own. He's growing more and more anxious because something is definitely not right.
And then Will answers.
"Then maybe you shouldn't have let me die, Mike."

Summary
“You’re not boning, though, right?” he says, suddenly. He doesn’t know why he feels such an urge to bring it up again, as if the thought of Mike boning is not something that is CODE RED #1 at the top of Will's list of things to absolutely never think about. But also. Look–
“What? No, of course I’m not boning,” Mike splutters, turning a violent shade of scarlet, “how would I even hide that from you, I’m with you all the time–”
And then he falls silent, so fast that Will gets tonal whiplash from how fast Mike just went from saying boning over and over again to just clamping his mouth shut and staring at the wall across from them.
Will's trying his hardest to make it through fall semester in one piece. Unfortunately for his degree, he's being haunted by maybe-feelings for his best friend (metaphorically), and also a maybe-ghost with rather abysmal fashion sense (literally).

The barest press of lips, a shuddering breath, and Mike was melting.
The barn door opened with a dramatic bang.
"There you shitheads are," Dustin yelled, baring disgruntled frown, crossed arms, and borrowed words from Steve Harrington.
...........In which Mike Wheeler is a panicked mess, and Vecna has to laugh.
