Summary
The sight of him satisfies a deep greed in his gut— finally, a new and pretty trophy to add to his hoard. Perhaps he's not a pest, but a plaything. A toy. He takes the human into his clawed hand, small and limp in his grasp. He's warm against his cool scales, and it takes everything in him not to tear the robes off his little human. He looks so soft and pliant like this, gentle lashes pressed against even gentler cheeks.
But he knows to be patient. Knows how best to enjoy the feast before him.
With his human now clutched in his claws, he takes him deeper and deeper into the castle.
Or: An injured cleric unknowingly stumbles into the lair of one lonely, greedy dragon.

Summary
Will walks towards the table with two quick strides, resting his hip there as he grabs one wooden stake and holds it in his hand. “I’ll keep a stake to your heart. If you lose control I’ll kill you right here.”
“You trust me that much?” Mike raises a brow.
“I trust myself enough to stab you if you lose yourself.”
[...]
“Are you sure?” Mike asks, stepping in front of Will to close the distance. “You’re offering your blood to me.”
Or: Will, the vampire Slayer, notices Mike has been starving himself for too long. What happens when he decides to offer his blood to the vampire? Is it the first of a series of bad decisions? Probably. But the pleasure, oh sweet pleasure, is all worth it.

Or: Mike Wheeler is a counselor with his best friends while he’s stuck watching Will fall in love with everything at Camp Lyre—except him.

Summary
He tried to think of something else—literally, anything else. Puppies. Nancy. His grandma. That weird version of the Mind Flayer they fought at Starcourt Mall that was just a goopy flesh monster made up of rats and bodies.
It wasn't working. The image of Dream Will hovering over him—eyes glazed over, coming undone—was burned into his retinas, sitting at the top of his fucking Archive of Jerking Off Material with a bright orange sticker that read NEW RELEASE FT. YOUR BEST FRIEND LOOKING TOTALLY FUCKABLE.
OR
Mike Wheeler has been spending a lot of time in his dreams lately—more specifically, wet dreams about Will Byers—ever since he discovered he has the ability to become lucid in them. He is so totally normal about it and not spiraling out of control.

A complete season 5 re-write/fix-it following TSTYK with a primarily byler focus set October 1989. While there are a few scenes/concepts from s5 that will appear, this is not just s5 rewritten to include byler.
Multi POV
This is a dark fic. That means dark themes are touched and handled on. I use constant real life issues the same way most media does. That means it is not suitable for all audiences.
