Summary
“I’m good, you know.” Billy says. His face is empty, expressionless, the way it was when Steve threw books at him and shouted, what do you mean you’re leaving? That’s it? We’re done?
Steve can do nothing but stare at Billy.
He wants to say, I’m not. I’m not and I never will be. You didn’t just break my heart Billy, you blew it up. It’s not lying on the floor ready to be put back together, it’s floating in microscopic dust in the motherfucking air.

Summary
“You don’t believe me because you seriously think I’m too – I’m too good for you?” He manages to rasp out.
This whole time Steve’s been assuming it’s because Billy is emotionally and mentally sixteen right now. Because of his denial, his disgust and self-hatred, his terror at being found out as gay, his assumption that Neil Hargrove is around every corner.
Not this.
Billy crosses his arms again. “Yeah. I don’t believe you. You are way too out of my motherfucking league. I’m pretty sure Max just hired a model to fuck with me. Nobody looks that insane without getting paid for it. And you’re way too sweet, always caring ‘bout me and how I’m doing. You don’t even drop the act for a freaking second. Are you an actor as well?”
After an accident, Billy loses his memories. He’s in denial that he’s married to Steve, but not for the reason Steve assumes.

Summary
When Will accidentally hands Mike a personal sketchbook instead of a school notebook, he may as well have just handed Mike a full confession. Will realizes just a tad too late. Mortified, ashamed, Will flees to Castle Byers. Mike follows.
It's a sweet coming-out story with a happy ending, yo. Because Will Byers deserves a good day, okay?

Summary
A collection of one-shots in a canon-compliant Byler universe, updated approximately whenever I feel like it.
YES, this is still canon-compliant Byler endgame after ST5! (Mike's coming out and their relationship has not been written yet, but it's coming.)
Stories will be listed here by in-universe chronology, not posting order.
