    Summary

    Mike's life is split into two, clean halves. His life in Indiana, in the sun's harsh light, where he's fucked up in more ways than one. And then there's his other life, under the alias of legendarymichael, on the never-ending planes of the Internet. His digital heaven, where Mike exists as an untouchable, faceless deity; worshipped and praised.

    Mike is good at keeping the two separate. Or so he thought, until Will Byers collides into his neatly sliced life, and derails it all when he takes a bite from both halves.

    Alternatively:

    Faceless content creators legendarymichael and williamethyst snowball into an online rivalry. At the same time, Mike Wheeler meets Will Byers at a dog park, and begins to fall in love. Those two sides of their lives begin to bleed into one perfect storm.

    Summary

    Mike had always believed that the moment he’d die, no matter how brutal, he’d feel calm. At peace. A moment of acceptance that this was as far as his story would go. A quiet thing, just for himself, where he’d remember his most precious memories. His most memorable campaigns, sneaking into the movies and sharing popcorn… a blue-and-yellow swingset. He’d seen it in movies, he’d read about it in comics.

    Only now that he’d reached this moment, there were so many feelings overflowing, bursting through him like a punch to the gut. It left him completely paralyzed. Horrible fear, grief, pain, and the most intense regret he’d ever felt in his life.

    OR: The continuation of the Season 5 Volume 1 Mid-Series Finale starring: Mike's POV, Mike being jealous of Robin, Will dealing with his powers and his newfound confidence, Mike overwhelmed (in the best way) by said newfound confidence, flirty but shy Byler, nerdy flirting, churchgate, and just generally ALL the Byler scenes I wanted to see happen in Vol 2 and 3 (we were robbed).

    Summary

    It's the summer of '86, and Will Byers won't stop lying to himself.

    He was over Mike. He was over it.
    Mike Wheeler? Who even is that? How do you even spell that?
    Never heard of him.

    ...It's become a bit of a bad habit.

    But between quarantine at the Wheelers, those pesky wet dreams, and Mike Wheeler's inability to control himself, it's all sure to come to a head. The Party's in tow, and shenanigans abound. But hey, why not? It's only the end of the world.

    OR: Hawkins is burning, and Fate's finally bringing Will Byers to his knees. To which we say — hot.

    (A Lovingly Crafted Post-ST4 Byler Slow Burn/Fix-It)

    Summary

    "Um, Mike?" Dustin suddenly said, bringing attention to himself again.

    "Yeah?" Mike distractedly replied as he finished coloring a giant, red B. It was only slightly out of lines.

    "Why do you have a notebook about Will kissing some guy?"

    The words didn’t even register for a second and then the meaning of them hit Mike all at once. His head snapped towards his desk where Dustin was sitting and he felt his stomach drop.The desk drawer was opened. There was a familiar notebook in Dustin’s hands and he seemed to be flipping through with a particular expression on his face.

    Oh no.

    Or; Mike starts writing self-insert fanfiction about his best friend.
