    Summary

    Mike took a sip of his own cocoa, eyes drifting to the window. “It’s really coming down, huh? Kinda nice.”

    Will looked at him instead of the snow.

    “Yeah,” he whispered. “It really is.”

    The living room glowed with soft Christmas lights, snow falling silently outside, Mike’s hand warm over Will’s toes. And for a moment, Will let himself imagine that this was how it would always be.

    💕💕💕💕

    With Henry gone and Hawkins finally safe, Will learns how to love winter again - and maybe how to love Mike Wheeler out loud.

    A soft, snowy Christmas Byler fic full of cocoa, sketching, gentle touches, healing, and two boys slowly realising they’ve always been each other’s home.

    Summary

    In the wake of Will’s coming out, Mike Wheeler finally confronts the feelings he’s been burying for years with a healthy dose of self-deprecating emotional turmoil. Now, across parallel versions of Hawkins in the lead-up and aftermath of the final battle against Vecna, Mike must reckon with his past, present, and future relationship with Will.

    Meanwhile, Will is convinced his sentiments for his best friend will never be returned, that, for him, requited love is a pipe dream and nothing more. As always, he does his best to accept a life with the ache of wanting what he can’t have, focusing instead on mastering his newfound powers to help his friends save the world. But believing nothing has changed gets harder every time Mike looks at him like that

    Summary

    “So— back there, when you were snapping the Demogorgon's bones— you… you felt it? Everything?”

    Will looks back at the floor, swallowing quickly. His eyelashes flutter. “Well. Yeah.”

    Mike’s heart sinks in his chest. “Will.”

    or, I watched v2. and wasn't satisfied. What if instead of Joyce, it was Mike who stayed with Will when everyone went to the hospital?

    Summary

    The screaming is unusual.

    Will’s nightmares rarely announce themselves like this. They usually arrive quietly, in the form of a locked jaw, trembling limbs, a desperate, instinctive commitment to silence. His fear is usually swallowed and choked back, even in slumber.

    ———————

    Or, Will starts screaming in the night. Of course, Mike is there to comfort and protect him. But that’s just friendship… right?

    ———————

    This is my love letter to Byler. Who in my heart end up together no matter what. It’s an exploration of genuine emotion, care, shared trauma and love in a friendship and how that can develop into something more. Something they’ve both waited a long time for.
