Summary
They keep meeting in increasingly cute and humorous ways, the byler college AU. I'm having so much fun escaping the Real World with this fic, would you like to join me?
***
Will nods and gestures at Mike, “See! This is exactly what I’ve been saying. It’s one of my favorite movies.”
“Mine too!” Mike grins.
Will grins back, and then squints and tilts his head, “Hey, you sat next to me in Mythology this morning, right?”
“I think so? It was pretty early.”
Lucas sighs dramatically, “You’re both crazy.”
Mike notices Lucas has a coffee cup from the campus coffee store, and he internally nods his approval.
Mike and Will make eye contact, and Will winks (which he somehow actually pulls off, the bastard). The two boys then start giggling until they’re both laughing, and Lucas is looking at them in an amused fashion. The three of them chat a little more, and then it’s Mike’s stop.
“This is my stop, but I’ll see you two around!” He tells them.

Summary
Hawkins has been engulfed in cracks connecting it to the Upside Down, and chaos has spread throughout the city.
While the army puts the city under lockdown and tries to convince the population that it was all just a seismic event of abnormal proportions that will be studied and clarified as soon as possible, the party knows very well what's happening behind the scenes, and if the last few years had already brought several crazy events to the peaceful town of Hawkins, the imminent merging of the city with the Upside Down will bring much stranger things.- Language:

Summary
The concept of what would happen after defeating Vecna hadn’t ever materialized in Will Byers’ head. And, now that he was living it, he kind of wished he’d been more prepared. Trying to hide his nightmares, the level of stoned he was, and his very, very new relationship with Mike Wheeler was nothing short of impossible with the wave of Religious Paranoia infecting Hawkins post-Upside-Down.
But who was he to complain? It could always be worse.
—————
Or: Will and Mike navigate the terrifying realities of what it means to be a gay couple in Religious Small-Town America during the 1980s
—————
Based loosely on concepts from the album “Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You” by Ethel Cain.AU: Will only came out to Mike before the final fight with Vecna.

Summary
It's November 6, 1997. Exactly 14 years after William Byers' disappearance, 10 years after Vecna's, and Jane Hopper's death.
Lucas and Max Sinclair have a small house in Cleveland where they live a quiet life.
Dustin works with NASA on new satellites, occasionally plotting with Erica to annoy their coworkers.
Will is in New York, where he spends time working on new gallery exhibitions of his paintings with his partner.
Meanwhile, Michael Wheeler remains where it all began, unable to let go of regret for every decision he's made.
OR
As a failed writer, Mike has never come to terms with the breakup of his group, the death of his girlfriend, or his sexuality. Another year passes, and he avoids the annual reunion with his old friends.
OR
mostly everything is canon after season 5, but we have mike wheeler in the closet/becoming just like his dad and a cheating byler, cause fuck Netflix for queerbaiting all of us.

Summary
Will could think of one person who would understand. Mike.
And that's what pained him the most. Because he used to understand. Used to be the one that understood Will completely, almost reading him like a book whenever something was wrong. Always stood by his side and held his hand whenever he needed it most, comforting him on his days full of despair and fear, and listened to all his worries no matter the size, big or small. Something hit him in that moment— a terrible realization. Fuck.
He really, really missed him.
or
After graduating from high school, Will gets into a relationship with Chance, another graduate who happened to be extremely attractive and sweet. There was just one tiny, small problem. He wasn’t over Mike like he thought he'd been, and just when things couldn’t get any worse, he ran straight into him at a Halloween party. The same one Chance had invited him to, and from there, things blew up— heated, messy, and everything Will never imagined would happen.

Summary
What DID Erica find under Lucas' bed that no one can know about? What if it's something much more wholesome than season 4 episode 7 wants to make us believe? An autumnal Lumax oneshot. Fluffy, a bit sad, mostly sweet.

Summary
With Vecna dead, the party is left to pick up the pieces. After so many losses and a town that still holds hatred in their minds, everyone just needed to heal and move on from another traumatic event. Over time, it gets easier. Harassment lessens and Hawkins slowly returns back to normal. Almost as if they were ignoring all the wrongdoings of the party. Or maybe they're just forgetting?
Blissful ignorance and familiar dark curls, is there something deeper going on?
And why doesn't anyone mention the name Eddie Munson anymore?

Summary
“Mike,” this time Will hoped to convey his eye roll through his tone.
“Will,” he said back, mimicking and with an audible smile.
“Are we just going to spend this entire call saying each other’s names?”
“If it means I get to keep hearing you say my name, I wouldn’t mind,” Mike said, beginning playfully but ending on a much softer note. Will sucked in a breath, surprised at the honesty in his tone. It made him feel raw.
or, as pitched on my tumblr,
Byler college fic post-canon where the party goes different places and it’s centered around Will and his closest friend who is also queer and she despises Mike after hearing about Will pining for him but one day in November, Will has a worse panic attack than usual and she can’t help him and is forced to call Mike and for the first time learns Will went missing and goes home with Will to Hawkins during winter break because her family sucks and learns about the Upside Down and Mike is jealous because he thinks they’re dating and the second the friend sees Mike, she knows she’s right and that Mike is in love with Will too.
