Summary
Mike wakes to the sound of movement in the kitchen. He pushes himself up, still groggy, and steps into the hallway.
“Hey, baby,” a voice says easily, not looking up. “You want coffee—?”
Carlton turns around, stops short. Blinks once.
“Oh,” he says, then laughs under his breath. “You’re… not Will.”
Mike freezes.
Or,
Post-canon, Mike Wheeler crashes at his best friend’s New York apartment for a book deal. But he wasn't ready to see this version of Will Byers: confident, successful, in love, surrounded by community and so, so free.
While Will lives the life he has always deserved, Mike grieves El and comes to the quiet, devastating realization that he might be in love a few years too late.
Despite everything, they still seem to find their way back to each other.

Summary
“Mike,” this time Will hoped to convey his eye roll through his tone.
“Will,” he said back, mimicking and with an audible smile.
“Are we just going to spend this entire call saying each other’s names?”
“If it means I get to keep hearing you say my name, I wouldn’t mind,” Mike said, beginning playfully but ending on a much softer note. Will sucked in a breath, surprised at the honesty in his tone. It made him feel raw.
or, as pitched on my tumblr,
Byler college fic post-canon where the party goes different places and it’s centered around Will and his closest friend who is also queer and she despises Mike after hearing about Will pining for him but one day in November, Will has a worse panic attack than usual and she can’t help him and is forced to call Mike and for the first time learns Will went missing and goes home with Will to Hawkins during winter break because her family sucks and learns about the Upside Down and Mike is jealous because he thinks they’re dating and the second the friend sees Mike, she knows she’s right and that Mike is in love with Will too.

Summary
The plan was simple.
Get Will close to the gate at Lover’s Lake.
Let Eleven piggyback into the hive mind.
Find Max. Find Holly. Bring them home.
The plan was simple and it still went to shit.
Now Will, El, and Max are forced to rely on what remains of Henry Creel to help them navigate the labyrinth of memories to escape the Hive Mind.
Joyce and Hopper have now lost both of their sons to the Upside Down, but this time they're taking matters into their own hands.
Nancy has now lost the two people she's been pushing away, and is forced to face the devastating reality of the independence she's asserted.
And the boys are forced to come together in order to find the long-dormant answers held within their party's quietest members.
Old wounds resurface, truths long avoided come into focus, and the question none of them are ready to answer begins to take shape:
What happens when the only way to save the world is to understand the ones who broke it open?
