Summary
The radio static rang out through the silence.
Mike took a deep breath, running his hands over his knees before he spoke into the device. “Hey Will, it’s Mike.” His finger came off the button, letting the static fill the air again. “I know this is stupid and stuff because you’re dead. But I think this is also therapeutic for me, at least."
Or: Will Byers has been missing since November 6th 1983. Since then, his friends have fought monsters, bullies and government agencies. Will had been assumed dead for years, but when Hawkins faces a new threat they might just be brought back together.

Summary
Set post s4 and pre s5, with Will staying at the Wheelers and established bychance but with a byler finale.
Extract:
“Seriously? He’s coming. Again.”
“Dude,” Lucas groaned.
“Again with this, Mike?”
“I just don’t get why he’s still tagging along,” he complained.
Will rolled his eyes, he’d been doing that a lot recently, and started walking towards his backpack, “Because he wants to come and I’m not gonna stop him.”

Summary
“I won’t tell him,” she says softly. “Any of them. About any of it.”
Will looks up with surprise. “Why?” he asks.
Nancy just gives a tight smile, but in her eyes, something deeper brews. “You keep my secret, and I’ll keep yours,” she responds.
Will doesn’t really understand much about Nancy Wheeler at all. But Will’s happy to be her secret keeper, so he nods.
OR,
At the end of the world, makeshift living arrangements push the unexpected together, and a new Byers-Wheeler alliance forms.

Summary
College classes can be devastating when you're there to create, baring your soul through writing and art only to have your peers tear down works shared from the heart. Mike and Will both have terrible critique days, but Will takes his a lot harder. He indulges in some extracurricular fun to ease his mind, chill out, wallow in his melancholy, and, well - prepare to really take it much 'harder' once Mike gets back to their dorm after class.

Don't be Afraid of the Clocks (they are our time) by TashaTasha

Summary
"Nobody was really thinking in that moment. Not Will, and certainly not Mike. Ten years down the line and three glasses of wine deep, Mike would proclaim that it was simple science—Magnetic attraction. North and South meet halfway to the west.
The closer you place them, the more likely they’ll collide
TLDR
Will gets some new (totally not gay) friends, and Mike is a jealous, needy loser. Coming out, crying, and sappy confessions await.
This Fic is meant to be an intermission between Season 4 and Season 5, with the assumption that Vecna doesn’t return with full force until all the cast are 19.
Mainly Will Byers POV but some chapters are Mike because he is also very fun to write.Bookmarked by ToenailClippings
