Summary
“Okay.”
Mike snaps his head to Will, looking for a sign that he didn’t hear him right. Will just keeps looking at the ceiling, cheeks now bright red.
“O-okay…?” He asks.
Will nods, his chest heaving faster than before. “Okay.”
He pulls his eyebrows together. “Just- just to make sure, you’re saying okay to-”
“You wanna jerk off with me here.”
Mike’s eyes widen, and he quickly looks back up to the ceiling.
“Okay,” Will repeats.
OR
Will is staying at the Wheelers' for the summer of 1991, and Mike is starting to realize there are a lot of things he likes about having Will in his bed. Will's excuses of Mike just being "pent up" start to run out when Mike offers a solution to fix that: getting off together. (Like all great best friends do, of course.)

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don’t count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the friend group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It’ll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
“I’ve been thinking about what you said.” Mike swallowed.
“I said a lot. Remind me what do you mean.”
He wanted to scream, the way he teased him when he clearly knew what Mike referred to. Fuck it. Worst thing was he said no. I just had to ask. “When you went off my lap and we were both fucking hard.” Mike noticed Will flinched at the tone in his voice. “When you leaned over to me.” Now Mike leaned toward Will’s ear. “And when you said.” He started to whisper, “You know I can help you with that.”
Goosebumps formed on Will’s neck.
“I’ve been thinking about that all evening.” He took Will’s earlobe between his lips. “I know you did too."Coming home from college for the winter break, the party meets to catch up, drink and have a fun time. In a game of truth or dare, Will has to give Mike a hickey, but in their drunken state they can't keep their hands from another and are turned on more than they should. After heated nights together, Will proposes to be friends with benefits, which definitely never brought anyone in trouble before...

Summary
After ten months of being together and a brutal fight where Mike and Will both aim where they know will hurt, Mike leaves the Wheeler's house in the middle of the night leaving them both with broken pieces of what they were.

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.

Summary
“What do you feel, then?”, he whispered, repeating the same question he made before.
Will audibly gasped, his head tilting back to expose his neck even more for Mike.
“Mike,” he groaned, open mouthed and assisted by his constant panting.
In response to that, Mike gripped hard on his shoulder with his fingertips, his palm still lying flat on his clavicle and his thumb a little higher, pressing down on his neck.
“I just want to understand you better”, Mike breathed into his ear, then he was driven back down.
They couldn’t get enough.
or, when Will comes back from Lenora, he’s still very upset with Mike , who, later on, finds out Will is a lot more sensitive than normal on his neck.

Summary
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Renting a beach house with your friends for the summer - after last year's warm breeze flew you apart on different journeys.
But what do you do when your best friend is seemingly way ahead of you - in just about everything?
Maybe it was a bad idea when Will suggested that he and Mike should race against each other to see who could lose their virginity first.
That summer wasn’t going to be anything he’d ever imagined. Much worse than losing a stupid fucking race and much better than winning it.
“We could make a race out of it?” Maybe it was the way Will’s eyes beamed and the way the words of the suggestion left him, that intrigued something in Mike.
Mike hesitated before answering, not wanting to sound too eager, “How?”
“Whoever gets laid first, wins.”

Summary
"It was like I got so wrapped up in the whole idea of being a boyfriend that I didn’t stop to think about if I actually liked any of it. Maybe I just wanted to be really focused on it so I didn’t have to think about how empty and surface-level it all felt.”
“It?” Will asks quietly.
“You know, all of it. The fights, our conversations, the things we had in common.” Mike finally pauses, hesitating. “Or, maybe I wanted to be really focused on it,” Mike says, slowly now, “so I didn’t have to think about how none of it ever felt empty or surface-level with…”
“With who?”
“With… with you.”While everyone waits around for the world to end, Mike and Will finally have a long-overdue conversation.

Summary
What did he think, really?
What did he hope to find in the arms of a Mike Wheeler who's suddenly comfortable enough to go to gay bars in New York? That he was just going to have sex with his first love, who's gotten even prettier than he was six years ago and realise, oh, actually yeah I'm definitely over you?
Yes. Yes, that was what he'd hoped. That's exactly why he'd taken Mike up on the offer, goddammit.
But he can't face palm hard enough to leave a mark right now, because as he mentioned before, Mike is naked, lying on top of him, gently kissing up and down his neck, still warm and sticky inside him. He can't face palm, because he was wrong, and being wrong has never felt so right.
aka after the best hook up he's ever had, will tries to convince himself that mike is still a jerk. mike proves him wrong with aftercare and a surprising confession

Summary

He can’t.
Will is trying not to think about what any of it means.
He also can’t.
There’s staring, denial, maybe even some sleep talking.
‘You can do this,’ Mike tells himself.
‘Just don’t say anything weird.’(Spoiler, he does.)

Summary
“It was El who broke up with you, though. It’s not like it’s your fault she fell out of love,” Will offered. “That was what she said right?”
For a second their eyes met, but Mike quickly glanced away. He’d been doing that more often recently. Will could understand. Holding eye contact lately… ever since they were spending nights lying awake next to each other, sometimes talking, but mostly pretending to sleep… Let’s say it felt harder than usual to hold Mike’s gaze for him as well.
“… Yes,” Mike answered. “Right. She said that,” he added as if to remind himself.
A loud snort from the main hall pierced through their conversation. “Oh, please.” Murray mocked from the couch. Will and Mike both turned their heads to stare at him with pinched expressions.
“What?” Murray exclaimed. “Falling out of love is not the reason El broke up with you.”OR: Mike and Will get Murray’d and deal with the consequences.
(But, of course that alone won’t be enough to completely burn Mike’s intense repression, so we’re going to rely on our good old friend Vecna to give Mike some insight into his own mind…)
