Mike, What Did You Do? (the Curse of Strahd) by ByeDisaster
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
03 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
What Mike did in the 18 months between S4 and S5. The answer includes: touching, sleeping in the same bed, playing D&D but only the two of them, and Mike casually calling Will beautiful. Best friend shit. Will Byers is toast.
Now expanded to include a very different (gay) Season 5.
---
“I look for the vampire.”Mike’s face is turned towards him. Will was looking at the ceiling, but he shifts, just enough, his nose points at Mike’s nose. His lips in a line from Mike’s lips. His mouth is slightly open on the pillow. “Do I find him?” Will prompts.
“Yeah,” Mike breathes. “He’s beautiful.”

Operation Byler. Max's Master Byler Plan. by heavenlyofficialsmut

Summary
It's the last summer for college after they spent their childhood quite literally saving the world. Nothing is really normal but it's close enough and the party are hunkered down in the Wheeler basement watching bad romance movies, a little bit buzzed on alcohol, discussing all their bad romance takes and choices.
It takes exactly one movie before they realise that Will can't join in because he doesn't have any romance stories to tell.
They decide right there that the end of summer is going to be spent helping their best friend become the very best he can be so that when he goes to college he can have as many romantic moments as he wants.
From there it's fashion shows, flirt training, practice dates and realising that he's already in a romance story and has been since he got off that swingset.
Hopefully this one has a happy ending.
---No actual willxothers happens in this fic it's purely hypothetical as a way to push their plans to get byler together!

Summary
"Did you not hear me? I said I was in love with you.” Will cringes at the repetition.
“So? It’s two in the morning. I’m tired.”
“In love. Like romantically.” Jesus Christ, why couldn’t he stop saying it?
Mike rolls his eyes. “I know what it means, William. What I don’t know, is why that means I can’t go back to bed right now. We can talk in the morning if you want.”
Will blinks.
---
“Imagine?” Mike asks, raising an eyebrow. He leans closer, cocking his head. “You do a lot of imagining, Will?”
Will briefly squints in confusion before going red, the color spilling across his cheekbones and down his neck. “Not like that!” He shrieks, but he’s still so, so red, and Mike almost desperately wants to know just how far down the color goes.
---
or,
In a fit of midnight panic, Will accidentally tells Mike he's in love with him. But Mike...doesn't even seem to care. Will goes a little insane about it (and so does Mike).Bookmarked by MegaManda

Summary
“Shit, shit, shit,” the man next to Charlie chanted. The metal of the cabin creaked ominously. Not a good sign. Charlie was out of comforting words.
He reached out his hand, palm up, in the space between them. An offering if not a reassurance.
Their eyes met – two complete strangers, but somehow no words were needed to communicate. There was an understanding that passed between them.
Then, the plane dove.
***
Basically a Heartstopper desert island AU.
Charlie is headed back from a work trip when there's some unexpected turbulence. Can Charlie survive falling from the sky and washing up on a deserted island? Maybe not on his own, but thankfully, he's stranded alongside a blonde, freckled stranger.

The Letters we Never Sent by MadDawgKyle, sammingitup
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
11 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have spent years orbiting each other, close enough to feel everything, too scared to say anything. When a mix-up at school causes Will's sketchbook and Mike's journal to get swapped, each boy suddenly holds something deeply personal: pages filled with late-night thoughts, half-finished confessions, and words they never meant the other to see.
Will finds writings about himself in Mike's margins, pieces of stories where the hero always has brown eyes, and a running list titled "Things I Should Tell Will Someday." Mike discovers drawings of him hidden between landscapes, quiet entries about missing home, and a note that Will wrote but never delivered: "I wish you knew how much you matter to me."
Both boys panic, do they pretend nothing happened? Return the books untouched? Confront the truth? But the more they read, the more they realize the feelings they've been burying aren't one-sided.
When monsters return to Hawkins and the boys are forced to depend on each other again, the unsent letters become the one thing keeping them brave. As danger closes in, Mike and Will must decide: keep hiding behind words they never said, or finally speak them out loud, before it's too late.

One Hundred Percent (In Love With You) by deadfangirlwalking

Summary
A brand-new season of The Traitors is about to begin, and twenty-two complete strangers are stepping into a Scottish castle armed with nothing but optimism, questionable teamwork skills, and wildly misplaced confidence. Among them: Nick Nelson, golden retriever, who immediately falls head over heels with Charlie Spring, gay nerd, who somehow befriends half the castle before the first mission can even begin.
Between breakfast, missions, Round Tables, and nightly paranoia, the contestants scramble to work out who the Traitors are… while also trying not to embarrass themselves on national television.
Between suspicious glances, secret meetings, and far too many castle corridors, Nick and Charlie keep finding their way back to each other—sharing stolen smiles, whispered theories, and just a touch of accidental flirting. It would be the perfect budding romance… if only they weren’t trapped in a game designed to make everyone doubt absolutely everything.
Or...
The Traitors AU!

Summary
“I think I want to go to the Pride mixer… and maybe not as an ally.”
“Okay,” Charlie says softly. “Do you want to talk about it?”
Nick’s still figuring things out — labels, feelings, himself.
Charlie just wants to be there for him.
But as university life begins, new faces and separate routines start pulling them in different directions. Between late-night mixers, new friendships, and quiet moments that still feel like home, Nick and Charlie try to hold on to what they have.
And when Charlie offers Nick a kiss to help him experiment — purely for science, of course — the line between friendship and something more starts to blur.
A slow-burn university AU about best friends, first times, and finding the courage to admit what you want — all unfolding during orientation week.

Client #143 by Tee_85 for chocolatefreckle

Summary
Nick works at an experimental matchmaking project called The Compatibility Lab — part dating service, part social experiment, funded by a bizarre tech startup trying to disrupt “the loneliness economy.”
The twist? Employees cannot be matched themselves. Nick’s fine with that — he’s just doing this because it fits around his rugby schedule.
Then Charlie Spring walks in. Nervous, snarky, chronically self-sabotaging. Nick logs him as Client #143.
This is fully written, and will be posted daily until complete! 💫

Summary
“Nick,” Charlie spoke firmly, snapping Nick back to attention. His gaze was trained on Nick, a tinge of desperation seeping into his voice. “Do you not know who I am?”
Nick hesitated a moment. He wracked his poor, throbbing brain one last time for some memory of the boy in front of him. He wished so badly that he could tell Charlie something else, anything else, and not cause him more anguish.
“No, I'm so sorry. I don't remember you.” And then, because he couldn't seem to stop his big mouth. “Should I?”
***
An AU where Nick and Charlie met and get together in uni. Nick has an accident during a rugby game that leaves him with memory issues. Charlie has to help navigate Nick's recovery while dealing with the pain of his boyfriend forgetting him.

Summary
Nick registered legs first—long, lean, muscular. Then the rest of him. He was tall—maybe just a bit shorter than Nick—dressed in a deep navy suit that managed to hug in all the right places. His skin was light olive toned, his cheekbones were maddening, and his hair—Christ, his hair—was thick, black, and curly, like he’d just come from some effortlessly sexy shampoo commercial.
But it was the eyes that did it.
Nick felt his body betray him in real time. His palms went hot. His mouth went dry. Something stirred low in his belly, and fuck, he had to will his dick not to get involved. Because this was not okay. This was a work meeting. This was public. And the man hadn’t even said a word yet.
——-
Welcome to the chaotic office romance, sexual tension, and awkward hilarity that’s been living rent free in my brain for months.After pouring my soul into the angst heavy 'Ben Hopeless', this story is pure self indulgence: think love, fluff, smut, and all the heart eyes in between. I’m not sure how many chapters it’ll end up being. I'm just following the fun wherever it leads.
Also, I made Nick an accountant, because we are cool, thank you very much. Bad rep be damned!

Charlie Spring is also a single father to a feisty little 9 year old girl named Ruby. Charlie and Ruby have been planning their Summer getaway to the beach for months and they're excited for a month of beaches and bonding.
It certainly would be unfortunate if some crazy mix up happened with the rental reservations...

He knows they go to swingers parties together. He wants to go too, to prove he could be into that sort of thing. It's couples only. Not ideal, but also not a problem he can't solve.
He needs to find a fake boyfriend, and fast. Enter Nick Nelson from work, serial womaniser and all-round irritating human being. He’s not Charlie’s first pick, but he’s probably the only person crazy and horny enough to go along with it. After all, it’s an opportunity for him to get laid as much as he wants while Charlie attempts to seduce his ex all over again. Win win.
What could possibly go wrong?
