Mike wheeler's guide to keep a perfect (Attic) wife by AuraTT
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
01 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
Mike Wheeler is a brilliant young writer with a controlled, violent inner world he hides behind intellect and charm. He observes rather than acts, studies rather than feels—until he sees Will Byers. Drawn to Will’s warmth and talent, Mike’s obsession sharpens into intention. He stalks, plans, and waits with terrifying patience. In a decade that still believes in privacy, Mike proves that love, when filtered through intelligence and entitlement, can become something lethal, quiet, and inevitable.
OR
Basically its the attic wife x ghost face killer x stockholm syndrome(like beauty and the beast but no beast just a obsessive mike wheeler)
Mike is very ooc in this and he is crazy smart & manipulative.Bookmarked by Sarahstyles06

my heart is in pieces (and so is my arm) by Himiko_Stay

Summary
Castle Byers rises ahead of him.
What’s left of it, anyway.
Broken boards jut from the ground at crooked angles, the remains of towers collapsed inward on themselves. Sheets hang in tatters, damp and heavy with rot. It’s smaller than it used to be. Sadder.
Will approaches it without slowing.
He lowers himself down, stiffly, knees hitting dirt and leaves. Then he crawls forward, hands pressing into the earth, shoulders squeezing beneath splintered wood. Inside, he lies flat on his back, arms at his sides, staring up at nothing.
He does not move.
The forest goes very still.
Or: Will Byers gets possessed. No help arrives. He must try and survive the Upside Down, again, as he fights through many close calls (how is he not dead?)
And the party lives with the guilt.(i cant do summaries, but this is before season 5 btw, was to chicken to post it before it came out)

Summary
New York, 1994.
Five years ago, Mike Wheeler pushed Will Byers away with a brutal rejection, convinced it was the only way they could both live a “normal” life. Now Mike is an NYPD officer drowning in debt and haunted by his past, using violence to hide his own cowardice. Will, meanwhile, is Manhattan’s art-world darling, beautiful and brilliant, yet hollowed out from the inside, slowly destroying himself with opium and toxic entanglements.
When a Mafia money-laundering operation turns Will into the only living witness, fate mocks them again. Mike is assigned to protect the person he once swore he would cherish, and then shattered with his own hands.
Caught between the crossfire of the criminal underworld and the ghosts of the Upside Down that never truly left, it was only when a bullet buried itself in the chest of the person he loved most that Mike finally understood how merciless fate could be, teaching him the meaning of love at the exact moment it demanded the ultimate price.
But can a heart that has been broken ever deliver mercy to the one who destroyed it?
Gunfights, crime thriller, and slow burn, freaky, heavy angst with an opening of Club Byler 💙💛.

All is swell after the “earthquake” hit Hawkins. The kids are back at school, the military haunts the streets, the Byers live with the Wheelers, the team just recently started up with the crawls, and Will and Mike have been getting closer.

Summary
Today was March 22.
It was Will Byers’s birthday.Hopper and his mom had left earlier, saying they had things to take care of.
Lucas, Mike, Jane, and Max were out—apparently on a double date.
Jonathan was somewhere with Nancy.
Robin was with her new girlfriend.
Dustin said he and Steve had plans.But Will was sure—absolutely sure—that everyone was planning something for him.
Because his family had never forgotten. Not once.
Because his closest friends had never missed his birthday, not since they were kids.
Even Steve had never forgotten.Hours passed.
Will stayed on the couch, phone resting in his hand, waiting for a message.
Waiting for a call.
Waiting for the front door to burst open, for someone to yell surprise,
or for someone to text him to come outside.Nothing.
Still nothing.
Eventually, Will fell asleep.
His phone never rang.

Summary
"Sullivan's pace quickened as he strode down the halls of the lab in the Hellish dimension, the last thirty minutes stuck in his mind on a loop. Some trouble makers breaking into the base, a swarm of those vile undead monsters, a demon shooting his hand through the face of Ramirez-
And a boy, snapping the limbs of one of those monsters without even breaking a sweat- a brand new variable that Sullivan hadn’t predicted discovering."
- - -
When Joyce, Mike, and Will leave the MAC-Z after discovering Will's powers, they assume that the only enemy they have left to deal with is Vecna. However, they fail to notice that Lieutenant Jack Sullivan wasn't killed in the massacre- and that he saw Will using his newfound powers. Once Sullivan informs Dr. Kay, it doesn't take too long for the military to set their sights on a new target, one that has powers that they would love to get their hands on...

Summary
“Up there,” Will said, glancing toward the sky. “If something goes wrong. If he takes over me and uses me—” He inhaled sharply. “Kill me."
As Mike’s fingers closed around Will’s arm, the skin felt unnaturally cool, the pulse beneath it slow and rhythmic—entirely unlike the frantic, nervous heartbeat Mike knew by heart. This was not Will.
After 'Sorcerer' Will Byers risked everything to save Max and Holly, but Vecna doesn't allow him to leave without a mark.- Mike accidentally overhears a heavy confession meant only for the Byers family, and Will requests him to do something impossible.

Summary
They didn’t defeat Vecna, and in the now post-apocalyptic aftermath, Will Byers is kept alive as his most valuable vessel.
Imprisoned, isolated, and used as the heart of a new world, Will survives on memory alone, and clinging to fragile hope that not everyone he loves is truly gone… and that somewhere, someone is still holding on to him too.
Somewhere, someone is.

Summary
Will cupped Mike's jaw and bridged the distance between them, gently rubbing his face against Mike's forehead, careful to avoid the wound. His heart beat painfully with the action, at once feeling undeserving but also like this was his only chance.
I love you, he didn't say.
Will Byers has always been good at hiding. His trauma. His fears. His heart.
But when Vecna uses him to hurt Mike, he realizes the truth: he's not a weapon. He's a liability. So he'll finish this alone — even if it kills him.
Mike Wheeler has always been bad at saying what he means. But with Will missing and something inside him fracturing in a way he can't name, he's running out of time to figure it out.
Psychological horror. Mutual pining. A love confession earned in blood.Bookmarked by Sarahstyles06

Summary
The world is ending in a slow, ashen crawl, but for Will Byers, the real war is being fought in the silence of his own head. Vecna calls his feelings "rot"—a bridge built of secrets and shame that lets the monster in.
With the final battle looming and the weight of the painting still hanging between them, Will has to decide if he’s going to keep being a map for the darkness, or if he’s finally ready to shine a light in his own cave.
OR Will Byers decided to come out, but not in the way the series forced him to.

Summary
In the corner of his peripheral vision he can see a blurry figure limp towards him. Eddie flinches, trying to scoot away and bumping into Billy's still-sleeping form. The figure comes closer, and Eddie bares his teeth like an animal, because it's all he can do.
He blinks again, expecting to see a twisted humanoid figure, and is instead met with the judgmental look of what seems to be a teen boy. Except the boy looks like he's lived a thousand years, a mess of brown hair tied up into a ponytail, a bloodied rag tied around his left eye. Eddie doesn't miss the way he seems to support all his weight on his right leg.
OR
An AU where Will Byers is never found and is assumed dead. Five years later, Billy Hargrove and Eddie Munson find themselves trapped in the Upside Down, but are taken in by a teen who calls himself "Rex", and has the ability to manipulate the creatures in the Upside Down at will. Together, the three make a plan to escape.
(For clarification, Rex is Will Byers.)

Summary
Spoilers for 5x04. His ears were ringing as he looked down at the dead demogorgon. Dead, it was dead. He had killed it. Vecnaed it, just like Max. But they were demogorgons, and he had saved his friends, so it was okay, right? He wasn’t a monster? Was he? He was linked to the hive mind; monster was probably correct.
Or a fic that happens right after the end.
