    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year 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 Nancy’s graduation dinner.

    Summary

    The screaming is unusual.

    Will’s nightmares rarely announce themselves like this. They usually arrive quietly, in the form of a locked jaw, trembling limbs, a desperate, instinctive commitment to silence. His fear is usually swallowed and choked back, even in slumber.

    ———————

    Or, Will starts screaming in the night. Of course, Mike is there to comfort and protect him. But that’s just friendship… right?

    ———————

    This is my love letter to Byler. Who in my heart end up together no matter what. It’s an exploration of genuine emotion, care, shared trauma and love in a friendship and how that can develop into something more. Something they’ve both waited a long time for.

    Summary

    Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”

    Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”

    Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”

    Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”

    --

    Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.

    Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

    Summary

    Will Byers has learned that normalcy is not in the pages for him.

    He grew up abnormal. And, instead of growing out of it, he just grew into it. He stopped pretending that he wasn’t queer, he stopped being bothered by Zombie Boy, and, truthfully, he’s still overcoming the fact that he’s been used as a spy-slash-vessel ever since, but he’s been doing pretty good! Will is a freak, a nerd, a resurrectee, but he’s not going to let it plague him, because ever since the summer of ‘77 when he and Mike, six years old, laid on their stomachs and watched Star Wars, he knew the universe stuck Will The Wise upon the board, rolled for geekhood, and got twenty.

    Will Byers was only fifteen years old, and all he did in his downtime was sketch, listen to music, and worry about what was next.

    That was his normal.

    That was, until he falls asleep so effortlessly one night that five minutes later, when an arachnid of no notable wonder crawls by, he is not there to witness when he rolls over and the spider panics, nips his hand, and henceforth changes the trajectory of his life.

    OR

    his name is will byers, he got bitten by a radioactive spider, and he's pretty sure he knows the rest.
