Summary
Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.
Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.
Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.
Also known as the answer to Mikewhatthefuckdidyoudo gate
Steve Harrington is to Mike what Robin is to Will
Season 5 Rewrite to follow WHILE THIS IS A COMPLETE WORK, THE SEASON 5 REWRITE IS A WIP
Everything is tagged appropriately. If you choose to read, that is your prerogative. No smut occurs until chapter 36.

Summary
“It’s always about El, isn’t it?” Will mumbled, sadly gazing at him.
“Well-- it’s just this time of year, I guess. It’s been a little over three years since I lost her.”
Will gritted his teeth. “Since you lost her? You aren’t the only one that misses her, you know.”
Mike stumbled a little, his eyes wide. “I-- I know we all miss her, Will. I just--”
“Just what, Mike?” Will couldn’t stop the rage bubbling at his surface, his arms tightly crossed over his chest. “You think because she was your girlfriend means more than the fact that she’s my sister? That she isn’t our parents’ daughter?”
“That’s not fair,” he said weakly.
OR: post S5 byler because I can.
OR: 3 years after Vecna is defeated, Will and Mike find each other again (They never really lost each other in the first place).Bookmarked by Gingerbread266

Summary
When bad boy Will Byers gets expelled from school in the second half of his senior year, his mom uproots their lives from Queens, New York to her hometown of Hawkins, Indiana.
As if that weren’t bad enough, they move into the guest house of Joyce’s childhood best friend, Karen Wheeler, and her picture-perfect family.
This should be interesting.

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.
