Summary
“We’re supposed to be a team.”
Mike’s hand falls from the door knob. Instinctively, he takes a step back, and he turns back around. The door closes gently behind him, and Mike stares at his boyfriend in surprise and in confusion. “What?”
“We’re supposed to be a team,” Will repeats, his voice trembling yet still a bit angry. His eyes are narrowed at Mike—defensive but still on guard, wounded but still ready to fight.
It’s familiar. Somehow, the two of them always end up like this.
Or:
A year after the Upside Down’s destruction, Will and Mike are in what their friends like to call their “honeymoon phase.” But when a new problem arises and puts strain on their relationship, the two of them must learn what it truly means to work together as a team and to love each other well.

Summary
“I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.
“It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.
“Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”
Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”
Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.

Summary
After applying to work at Scoops Ahoy over the summer, Max had found herself holed up in Scoops Ahoy with Mike Wheeler for 7 hours a day, 4 days a week. Eventually, the two warm up to each other, even enough for Max to consider Mike her best friend. Although they are closer than ever before, Max still hasn't touched on any of Mike's darker thoughts or experiences, which led her to believe that he didn't have any.
As they experience the wrath of terrifying Soviet officers while hundreds of metres underneath Starcourt mall, Max learns that there is more to Mike Wheeler than she had previously thought.

Summary
The truth serum was surely still in his system, which directly meant it was still in Will’s system.
“Have you ever been in love?” Mike asks.
He’s worried that the question is too straightforward, or that it’s too different of a question compared to the others, or that Will’s answer would be no.
“I have.” Will pauses. “Have you?”
“Yeah.”
OR: Robin's coming out scene but make it Byler confession.

His breath catches.

Summary
“Do you think we threw up so much that the drugs aren’t in us anymore?” Mike asks her.
Jane takes a second to process what Mike is saying to her, but then responds with “Maybe.”
There’s a beat of silence, and then Jane adds to her response and says “Ask me something.”
“Just…. Anything?”
“Yeah.” She says. “I don’t know, maybe it could help us see if we’re still loopy.”

i could be your lover (and you could be my heartache) by sunsetozier

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
“Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”
Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"
"What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.
In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date. -

Summary
For the past two years, Micheal Wheeler hasn't usually let himself feel things.
Obviously, he has feelings. He loves his friends, he likes El, he appreciates his family. But he’s been hiding that feeling for so long that he almost forgot it existed.
Almost.
-
Continues immediately after the events of season 5 episode 7. Basically the finale, but written by someone who actually cares about queer representation. Mike did NOT deserve that absolute assassination and I WILL be doing him right.
In other words, a fix-it fic based on my last byler theory on my YouTube channel (@i.dontknowhowtodance, the period is IMPORTANT), in which we get a Mike-central finale where byler is canon. I do want to clarify I only watched the finale once and I refuse to watch it again so I might get some plot points wrong but you guys don't care anyway because no one likes the finale.

Summary
Will lifted a hand, pushing it to Mike’s forehead— "Are you sure? We should at least tell my mom. She could help figure out if this is an upside down problem, and maybe it could help us out in crawls-“
“I’m not cursed.” Mike cut in, his eyes held a glare that he didn’t mean. He didn’t want Will looking into him, he didn’t want Joyce, or Hopper having to spend a constant amount of time with him.
He wasn’t Max. Max had a reason to be upset, her brother had fucking died in a ‘mall fire’, what did he have to be afraid of?
