Summary
Before he can even think of touching Will, Mike rips the thermometer out of his hands.
“I got it”, he snaps, then gently touches Will’s chin. His voice turns soft again, syrupy almost. “Open your mouth?”
Will does, his cheeks still flushed. He’s staring up at Mike with that look he sometimes gets, awestruck almost.
“Right”, Lucas mumbles. “I’ll get the water.”//
Will has a cold and Mike is totally not over-reacting.

Tell Me About the Dream (Where We Pull the Bodies Out of the Lake and Dress Them in Warm Clothes Again) by Ezra_at_your_service

Summary
The truck jostles slightly, a constant back and forth as its inhabitants prepare themselves for a venture into the Upside Down, one last time. One last fight to end it all. One last time risking their lives for the fate of the world. If every time before this hadn’t been their “final fight,” maybe they wouldn’t have felt as grim as they plunged further into hell.
Vecna’s voice was like nails on a chalkboard. Unheard by all but one, the monster’s face was twisted into something that someone might have called a smile when he was still human. Now, though, it was more like watching a rabid dog bear its teeth. He ran a hand over Will Byers’s hair as he spoke.
“Do you think you’re worthy of him?” Vecna’s long, clawed fingers slid gently over Will’s face, but Will wasn’t frightened. He continued speaking idly with his mother, a small smile on his face. “Doesn’t he deserve better?” On the other side of the truck a pair of brown eyes had slid out of focus, body rigid, unwilling to move despite its owner’s protests. Terror seized them as they watched Vecna taunt them, gnarled hands placed gently onto Will’s shoulders.

The Selection by Komodo_Butterfly

Summary
In the Kingdom of Hawkins, Prince Mike (a one) had a difficult choice to make. Thousands had applied for The Selection and twenty candidates were chosen. It was out of those twenty that he would have to choose the person he would marry. The person who he would have to trust to support him. Too bad Mike didn't want any of it.
For Will Byers, a five, The Selection was a pipe dream. He knew he would never win, would never even get chosen. But if it meant giving something back to his family, after all they had done for him, well he would try anything once. Even if that meant giving up his chance to find true love.
For those lucky enough to be selected, it’s the chance of a lifetime. For Will, he just wants to be selected so he and his family can become threes and they can finally stop worrying about money. Everyone knows The Selection is rigged. Will knows he won’t find real love. Right?
Aka a Stranger Things/The Selection crossover.

Needless to say this causes... issues.**The first few chapters are shorter, and mostly backstory to fill in the blanks in between the end of S5 and the beginning of my story!**
This is a byler love story, but it will be angsty and very very slow burn, there will be smut eventually. Your patience will be rewarded! ;)

Summary
Eighteen months ago, Will Byers moved in with MikeWheeler.
What starts as convenience slowly turns into something heavier—late night movie marathons, shared study sessions in the basement, and quiet moments that linger too long. Mike clingy without realizing why. Will paints what he can’t say. Letters are written, found, hidden and misunderstood. jealousy rises between them. Birthdays pass with too much meaning. Snow days and rain-soaked arguments blur the line better friendship and something far more intimate. Everyone else seems to se either before they do. As old wounds from the Upside Down resurface and unspoken feelings finally demand air. Will and Mike are forced to confront the truth they’ve been avoiding for years. -

Summary
He was cursed. Mike Wheeler decided this on his first day of college, he'd decided similar things over the years, to try and at least try and understand why. He'd figured it out this time, after recognizing him by his stutter and his god forsaken smile, everything he'd built was about to come crashing down burning just like the upside down had.
"I"m doomed." He said slowly, almost like he was trying to avoid the terrible, terrible wave that was about to hit him like a sledgehammer.
It just had to be here, in somewhere that was supposed to be normal was turning into something he could only hope wasn't a repeat of Hawkins, or even Derry for that matter, he wasn't sure which was worse. But, again, with this amazing luck he'd been blessed with, he understood that he wouldn't have to decide which was worse, because both of his two worlds from hell were about to collide in the worst way he could possibly think of and there was nothing he could effectively do to stop it.

Summary
“I sincerely apologize,” William hums for the second time this evening. “I would appreciate it if you didn’t bring up this meeting to the king…” He mumbles as he turns back towards the door, reaching for the shiny handle.
“Wait,” The knight calls, his movement audible due to the clanging over metal consuming his body.
The call freezes William in his tracks. His fingers curl into a light fist and he pivots back to the railing, possibly too eagerly, to meet the man’s eyes once more.
“I’m no snitch,”
--
Prince William is familiar with castle life, familiar with his guards, his schedule, and his routine. Everything about his life is all too familiar, until he has a strange encounter with a brand new knight, insisting the two were childhood best friends.

Summary
The thing is, he thinks, sitting at his desk and drawing a portrait, he is lucky. It may sound absurd after what he has gone through. And what is yet to come. But he is so lucky to have his mom and brother, and his friends, and Hopper and Mr. Clarke and Murray. And his friends' families. This web-like series of connections chaining out. Some wonderful thing, a net which will catch him if he falls.

Summary
“It has to be us,” Kali’s voice is steady when she says it, too steady, like she has already buried all of her feelings, she tells her. “That’s how it ends. That’s how the cycle breaks.”
The cold hum of the void fills the silence that follows. Frost crawls around, creeping closer, like someone else is listening.
Eleven shakes her head slowly, not in fear but in refusal.
“No.”When Kali tells Eleven that her death could finally break the cycle created by the lab, Eleven chooses something radical instead: she chooses to live. But surviving does not mean freedom.
What if the finale didn’t rely on sacrifice?
This canon-divergent rewrite challenges the idea that Eleven’s story has to end in death. Power, choice, and survival take center stage as the party faces the aftermath of Vecna—and the consequences of a world that still wants to control its heroes. -

Summary
The story takes place in Hawkins Indiana 1989. In this book, this would be post season 4, but assuming season 5 never happened but we are still multiple years later. This book will take place from Will’s pov but when relevant to the story will occasionally switch povs. This is a Byler fan fic so that is the ship that will be focused on most. This is a slow burn so please be patient I promise you will be hap-satisfied. This is basically the 20 smth days leading up to Wills birthday.
