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!!

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)

After the death of Billy Max turned to Eleven for support. As did Eleven with the disappearance of her dad, Hopper. They were together almost everyday. They grew closer and they felt safe when they were together. Lucas, Max her boyfriend and Mike, eleven her boyfriend, were concerned about their relationship since the girls never hang out with them anymore. Life started to feel normal again until Joyce announced that they were moving. TO CALIFORNIA. Eleven and Will would be separated from the group. Eleven would be away from her boyfriend, Mike. But also- Away from her best friend Max. The first few weeks were hard. Eleven wrote Mike every day since she felt out of place and lonely. Signing it with - Love, El.

And while a battle is scary, the internal conflict of one's self can be much scarier. takes place right after the season four <3 (tw: mentions of homophobia and abuse in the first chapter. also dwells on pretty dark themes such as death. ANGST LOTS OF IT OMG)

It's been three years. Will is 16, almost 17. It's been horrible away from Hawkins, but he did it for his mum and Jonathan. Even though, that meant his happiness was nothing to him. But he would be happy - "Only for you, Mike." 🅦🅐🅡🅝🅘🅝🅖🅢 • Gay Slurs • Mentions of suicide/self harm • Lots of swearing • Hopper is not dead and Eleven did not move with the Byers. Please read with caution. Updates will be irregular.

When Mike goes to California to surprise Will and El for spring break he instead discovers things about himself. As a teenager the struggle between love and friendship is so hard to find. Especially if your true love is your best friend... Contains some language, homophobic language in the chapter "bad dreams again" (This story takes place with no vecnea in Hawkins or need for El to have powers.)

"I feel like my life started the day we found you in the woods." Will could feel his heart slowly breaking. -- The gang are now all in Hawkins, struggling to pick up the pieces after Vecna won. Some members still feel the divide left by the drama of the fight, and one especially is feeling heartbroken and devestated. Alone and vulnerable, Will begins to be haunted by illusions of Vecna- and it wants Will on his team. As everyone races to stop it before the gates open and Hawkins is destroyed, Will and Mike will have to finally face themselves and the shattered remains of their relationship. - Originally posted on my ao3, thebitchywitcher, im reuploading it here.

｡･: ▍𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 Will Byers and Mike Wheeler were practically inseparable. They had been best friends for nearly a decade and planned to remain that way for eternity. Nobody was capable of destroying the unique bond they shared except for Will's step-sister, Eleven. She wasn't intentionally trying to sabotage their friendship. In fact, she had no knowledge about Will's massive crush on Mike. However, when Mike flew to California for spring break, she wanted him all to herself. He seemed to be perfectly fine with that. He loved her more than anyone - or so Will thought. After El is brought to a top-secret location to regain her telekinetic powers, Mike is finally able to spend some time with Will. Her absence is enough to make him realize that she isn't the one he loves after all. © BYLERHOE ┊ W. BYERS X M. WHEELER

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.

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).

CURRENTLY PAUSED (Won't be posting for a while sorry) 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.
