Summary
Probably gonna be pretty long, Byler fic following the Mixtape that never was. I made the playlist myself linked below. Starts during the winter after season three and before spring aka season four. Was there like a whole year in the middle there?? Who tf knows but for this there was not! I am writing this for my own closure and to UNDERSTAND mike wtf. So I hope you enjoy! Mike has been having nightmares more and more, he feels lonely without Will and El, the beginning of HS has been hard, he’s in his own head a lot and he’s slowly learning how to accept himself and in turn his love for Will. He loves music and DND and those two things paint his life. This fic will follow an abstract structure but largely follow the canon events we will just be in Mike's head for them! OBVI I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THE PORTIONS OF THE STORY THAT ARE CANON LIKE THE DIALOGUE AND BEATS HAHA. Also don’t be fooled by just how much I and Mike love Eleven THIS IS A BYLER FIC ALL THE WAY. Priority - how Mike feels and behaves.

Summary
Miranda Sheppard always thought Hawkins, Indiana was a quiet—maybe even boring—little town. But that illusion shattered in 1983, the day Will Byers vanished without a trace. It was the beginning of something much darker.
Four years later, after losing her father in 1985 and surviving the horrors of Starcourt, Miranda is trying to move forward, scarred but still standing. She spends the summer away from Hawkins, hiding out in the quiet town of New Harmony with her aunt and uncle—searching for peace, even though she knows forgetting isn’t an option.
When she returns for her senior year, Hawkins is almost unrecognizable—marked by grief, silence, and secrets that never really stayed buried. But something else is stirring in the shadows: a supernatural threat that never truly died. And now it’s back—stronger, crueler, and hungry for more than just blood.
It wants to consume everything.

Of course, the boyfriend looks a little different than Will imagined, but he knows that's for the best.

Summary
“I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.
“It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.
“Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”
Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”
Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.

Summary
Will.
His name slipped Mike’s mind for just half a second.
What?
Will.
Will. Will. Will. He says his name again and again in his head. His best friend. He forgot his name. Just for half a second. But still. Shit. Holy fucking shit. This is bad. What the hell?
Or:
Mike’s mind has been tampered with, making him forget about the most important person in his life. It’s a disaster. A rewrite of season five volume two and three, from mostly Mike and Will’s perspective (and a little El). A slow-burn love story about choosing the light, even against all odds.

Why Would They Love You? Why Would They Care? by HowDoIHaveFriends

Summary
"They have never cared for you, William."
"That's not true!" Will tries to move, but the vines are too tight.
"Why did they forget your birthday? Where were they when you first disappeared? Why do they distance themselves from you?" Vecna says, almost laughing.
"They-" Will didn't know what to say. All of the things Vecna, or Henry, were saying were true.
"Your dear Michael even used your own sexuality against you and made you third wheel on your birthday."
"Shut up." He could barely breathe anymore. If he was going to die, let him at least save the world.

Carry Me Back From Death (In Your Arms) by CoolCYN13, RageFire
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
People were bumping into Mike, and he was bumping into them, but he didn't even care. He barely noticed their presence as he fled from the theater. All that mattered was getting away. Far, far, away from Hawkins. The only sound his ears could discern was the faint call from who he thought was Will behind him. His chest tightened even more - but it was the good kind of tight this time - accompanied by panic coiling even tighter around his lungs. His step faltered for a fraction of a second, the idea of turning around and running into Will's warm, gentle arms filling his head and captivating him.
But he knew it was wrong.
So, so wrong.
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have loved each other forever, but neither will admit it to the other. Vecna has been hiding, Mike was kicked out and has been dealing with the consequences. He isn't doing the best, and he ends up being the perfect target. Will Mikes near death experiences force them to address their mutual feelings for each other? Or will it push them farther apart then ever before?

Summary
Sixteen months after the “earthquake,” Mike Wheeler is anywhere but peaceful. He and his best friend barely talk, his girlfriend broke up with him, and now, the asshat who did all of this- Vecna- is coming back to haunt them.
Steve Harrington isn’t doing so hot, either. As the proud adoptive mom to a bunch of teenagers, he’s trying to help Dustin get over the death of his other mentor, Eddie Munson, while dealing with it himself. When Vecna starts acting up again, he knows that he has to do whatever he can to get back at the bastard- for Eddie. Wherever he may be.
(Basically, if season five had less random subplots and a lot more gay shit)

Summary
Season 5 of Stranger things was supposed to be about saving Hawkins.
Instead it becomes about losing Will Byers.
Sleep doesn’t feel like sleep anymore. Time slips. Voices follow him into the quiet. And in the dark, there is someone waiting, patient, understanding, and far too familiar.
The worst part is not that something is wrong.
It’s that Will isn’t sure he wants it to stop.
