Summary
Will knew something was wrong from the moment they entered the Upside Down. As he was hit with the familiar sensation of the bone-deep cold and spores tickling his lungs, he knew something was going to go terribly wrong.

Summary
"There's just one question. Which one of us is bait?"
Robin's question hangs heavy in the air.
The task is dangerous. It needs to be someone that's fast, someone that can outrun the mindflayer long enough to fully lure it into the canyon.
Mike blinks, his eyes trailing down, to the flares on his chest. Nancy had given them to him earlier, due to his complaint about her hoarding all the firepower.
A weapon that draws attention like no other, designed to pinpoint someone's location.
Designed to be followed.
'See how you're leading us here? You're guiding the party.'
The words are in the back of his mind, Will's voice clear in his skull.
He needs to be the one to do it. Mike, leading the party.
"I am." Mike says, sounding sure.OR
A byler-centric rewrite of the finale (everything past the coming out scene) where the author attempts to fix all the issues they had with it. Spoiler, there are a lot!

Summary
He’d stared at Will without really seeing him, so caught up in his own thoughts—a constant, monotonous beat of oh my God, I’m alive. Oh my God, Will has powers. Oh my God, he saved me.
And then—
Oh my God, he’s beautiful.
The thought had stopped him short, had landed with a soft and devastating clarity.
Beautiful.
That single word had broken something open within him, something he’d spent years reinforcing with lock and chain and prayer and denial.
After Will saves Mike from the demogorgon at the MAC-Z, Mike finally lets himself acknowledge a truth he's been running from for years:
He is in love with Will Byers.
Now all Mike has to do is come to terms with that truth—especially when Joyce sees it too.

Summary
After unlocking a new part of himself, Will wakes up disoriented at the Squawk, with a haunting memory burning behind his eyes and phantom fingers on his skin. And he can't for the life of him understand why they feel so familiar, and whether it's his monster or his savior.

Summary
Four months after they kill Vecna, Will gets sick. Nice and normal sick, though, or so Hopper tells Mike outside of Will’s bedroom door.
or: Will has a cold, Mike has Feelings, and some things are just hard to move on from.
