Summary
“You love Dynamight,” Kota said.
Izuku let out a long-suffering exhale. “I beg your pardon?”
“You forgot Hero Dynamight over your girlfriend,” Kota continued. “That means that he’s… he’s the love of your life.”
Kota’s cheeks reddened like he was embarrassed about what he had just said. Izuku stared at him. He didn’t know a Hero Dynamight. But there were a lot of heroes he didn’t know. The world was a big place, after all.
“You grew up together,” Kota barrelled on. “You tell us all the time how the two of you are friends. He guest lectures here sometimes. You… you don’t know who I’m talking about?”
Izuku swallowed hard as he looked at Kota’s face. If this were any other student, he wouldn’t believe it. But Kota wasn’t the type to joke or kid around, especially not with something of this magnitude.
Izuku accidentally gets hit with one of his students' quirks and temporarily forgets the love of his life - who is not, as it turns out, his current girlfriend.

Summary
Will's footsteps are silent as he creeps into view of the group. They don't spot him at first, half of them prodding at the dead Children on the floor, checking for life, while the others stare terrified at the girl, tears staining their cheeks as they breathe shakily.
The girl looks from the dead Child at her feet to the burly man in front of her. She opens her mouth to answer, but Will seizes her chance.
"Found you." He snarls, a smirk spreading across his face.
or the one where will byers was never found, a giant crack just opened between the upside down and hawkins, and he has one task: find the girl.

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is so incredibly beautiful. I am currently bawling. I was bawling on many occasions throughout this fic. My heart hearts, as someone who wholeheartedly will stand by what byler could've been, in canon and how it would've impacted our world, but also a young queer woman who is yearning for this special connection and love for every queer person who lives today/ And a very emotional queer at one. I'm lucky enough to live in a country where gay marriage has been legalised a bit under a decade ago, but the discrimination we face never died. I feel and will forever advocate for all af us to at least get the opportunity to live our lives more freely, and hopefully we all can exist freely in a world without having to be paranoid nor tortured for being who we are and loving who we love however we want to.
Needless to say, its obvious I loved ch25/the epilogue so so so much. I don't think I can even articulate everything. Obviously how much they've fought to be where they are now, after a logn fucking 28 years. Surviving and fighting out to exist and be recognised in this world in their identities, their careers, their lives and as themselves. Their relationships to everyone else/ Fucking incredible. I don't have to vocab to express how amazing and beautiful (how many times have I said this already lol) they alll have been to me. Bywheelclairmax obviously. Ted fucking wheeler. Holly/Mike. Jon and Will of course. Madwise. Byclair. Madwheeler. Henderhop. Jon and Mike, how did I almost forget. Also the career choices and the directions they all chose to go <33333. It sits with me so right.
oh and their marriage speeches. they hurt me so much they're so sweet and they're set. god fuck their professions of love and getting together. every single one has made me fucking 𝓢𝓞𝓑. ugh T^TThis is another byler fic that i think i've enojyed dearly, to my core (dare I say). Sex/Intimacy as something explored (in terms of what they mean and are between people) is something that has had a hold on me for a while, and I think whenever I stumble across a piece of media that does in fact explore what this means to their characters, and the bond they share, I will cling onto it for dear life. It means so much to me being aro/ace spec -- from the demi vibes I got from this paritcular version of byler, to what QPRs could mean to me, to distunguish how affection/itnimacy/love/sex are all different from each other and truly can be expressed in different ways, but being absolutely shitlessly beautifully with the people/person you call ur partner. I don;t think the world looks into it much, nor appreciates it as much as it should.
I know I've bascially sadi this 50 times already, but this is also something I'd truly feel and consider a queer narrative. A beautiful one at that. The hesitancy, the hope, the tough times, and the incredible ones that follow. It has reached out to my bare soul.
And I haven't even talked about the writing. I LOVED the pacing. I LOVED how their relationship had progressed. Smut (i'm not a frequenter on this, so that says something) and the fluff/ little intimate moments that followed after-- 𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓯'𝓼 𝓴𝓲𝓼𝓼-- Those were the sections that had the me in a chokehold. I cried with every single one. Their soulmatism is through the roof. What they mean to each other; I sincerely don't believe there are nor will be many to this level. It's so sickenly raw and soft and lovely and earnest adn real. They really try for each other. I know they will stick it out to the end. The world will end if they ever were seperated. That is unnegotiable.
OH GOD AND THE SYMBOLISM AND THE DETAILS FROM EARLY ON. HOW DID I FORGET.
my chest squeezed and twisted every time I read those little details. gneuinely haven't felt so much and so giddy for a long time.I'm sure i have more to say. I know I felt so much more emotion throughout this. Maybe I'll add it later. I should probably focus on getting ready for my exams tho lol.
God I don't want to part from this fic. Lord. Kill me know.
just kidding.
but for real.
thank you so much for this journey and story author.

Summary
“You kept my painting,” Will says. Sure enough, there’s the heart on Mike’s shield, just as red as the day Will painted it. It was Will’s heart that he painted, maybe. It was also Will’s heart that he pulled out and molded into the lie he thought Mike needed to hear, halfway between Salt Lake City and a secret government bunker in Nevada.
Will’s heart is in his throat now, and in Mike’s hands, and on Mike’s wall, framed and carefully displayed.
They stand there in silence for a minute, Will on one side of the room and Mike on the other and too many years of radio silence in between. The quiet is so heavy it’s like a weight on Will’s chest, crushing him, applying pressure—but to a wound or to a bruise, he doesn’t know.
“Will,” Mike says. “Why are you here?”
(or, will has some realizations and a lot of hard conversations, and not every loss is forever.)

Summary
It's November sixth. Seven years ago, Mike’s world went to shit in the woods outside Hawkins Laboratory. For three years, his life was a bloody, twisted wreck with a hell of a lot of casualties. Somehow, this just feels like another extension of that, like the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be a train, and it’s bearing down on him at full speed while he’s just standing there and letting it.
Seven years ago today, Mike Wheeler lost his best friend, and then he lost himself.
November 6, 1990, in the corner of a crowded room with another boy’s hands in his hair, he feels like maybe, just maybe, he’s finally got a little bit of himself back. He doesn’t know if it’s a part that’s worth keeping, is all.
(or, mike wheeler on kissing boys, growing up, losing your best friend, and finding him again.)

Bookmarker's Notes
I fully bawled 5 times within this fic. 5 full on crying SESSIONS in a span of 29k words. I think that screams everything needed to know..
this is just so tragically well articulated, and Mike as a character and a person is so so devastating it feels like you started scratching into my chest but i didnt realise you were actually digging right through to my heart and tkaing it out entirely. It felt like taking a part of me I feared I was becoming and ofrcced me to fully see this aching part of myself.
safe to say I am wrecked.this was beautiful.

Summary
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but Mike disagreed.
There was no world where anyone could argue that Will was only beautiful to certain people, because that simply was not true.
Will had been personally crafted by Aphrodite herself and Mike knew, without question, that if a blind person were to press their fingertips against Will's face and dragged them across his skin, they could tell that the boy poured heart-stoppening, maddening beauty from every single one of his pores.
***
Ever since Henry died alongside the Upside Down, Mike spent his nights listening to the breathing of one Will Byers right next to him on his bed.
Mike stared, and he wanted.

“Come to NYU,” he says. Mouth moving before he really knows what he’s saying, what he’s offering. Thinking not about Mom, or Mike, or the ghosts of this town, but of himself, and what he wants. “With me. You and Lucas. Let’s all go. I’m sick of Hawkins.”

I don't think i realised how much i love this little polycule until now. Im actually sobbing. the comments too T^T^T^T^T^T^T
alos i somehow love how mike is woven into will's narrative. its lwk kinda devastating, how unfortunately a lot of things leads back to him, like he's a ghost that will can't bury away compltely. I think that makes this journey of moving on even better.
THE MIKE SLANDER THO BAHAHAHA. ILY U MIKE BUT GOD U FRUSTRATE ME SOMETIMES.some excerpts here were rly well done here, in the way they bruised me like shit, but making my heart swell and fill me with something bittersweet (emphasis on sweet).

Summary
Set in the summer of 1992.
Being back in Hawkins came with complicated feelings for both Will and Max.
Questionable life choices had been made. Booze had been drunk. Pot had been smoked. Sexual attempts had occurred. Sleeping arrangements had been misunderstood. Obvious truths had been revealed. And in the end, everyone was relieved.
///////////////////////////////////////
Or: Will tried to get over Mike by summoning a bisexual awakening through hooking up with Max. What he accidentally summoned instead was a scandalised Mike Wheeler, a life-altering act of intimacy, and an unexpected, mutual coming-out.

„But…But then I realized, he’s just my Tammy.“
Half an hour later, Mike keeps staring out of the torn-up walls of the truck, following the lighting red, pulsing walls they are crashing through – There is only one unrelenting thought in his head, repeating over and over until it feels like it is suffocating him, inside out.
Who the fuck is Tammy?
Or, while crashing into the Upside Down once again, Mike can't seem to focus on the end of the world, but only his confusing feelings for Will. Robin gets him on the right track.

Summary
Will raised an eyebrow at his friend's antics, then dropped his eyes to where he knew Dustin had reached a hand out towards him.
“This summer, we stick together. You and me, Byers.”
Will grinned, taking Dustin’s hand and shaking it. “You and me, Henderson.”
A rewrite of S3:
The night Dustin gets back from Camp Knowhere, he brings the Party up to the highest point in Hawkins to set up Cerebro. He thought that his friends would be excited to have him back-- even if it wasn't the most entertaining to sit on a hill and talk into a radio with no response, he thought they would at least wait for him before going home. He thought it was going to be the best summer ever.
Instead, he finds himself and the one friend that didn't leave him, Will Byers, intercepting a weird Russian transmission.
And, well... if he couldn't have the best summer ever, at least he and Will would have an eventful one.

Summary
The summer of 1989 is supposed to be theirs.
For the first time since they were twelve, nothing is trying to kill them. The Upside Down is gone. Hawkins is quiet. And the Party realizes they’ve never actually gotten to be normal teenagers.
So they make a plan.
One last summer to do everything they never got to do; parties, stupid competitions, late-night drives, bad decisions, and all the reckless things that come with finally feeling like the world might belong to them.
Just one last summer of being teenagers in Hawkins.
But once you’ve spent your whole life surviving the impossible, you learn to recognize when something isn’t right.
Which means that somewhere between the late nights, the laughter, and the slow realization that childhood is slipping through their fingers, the Party might be pulled into one last mystery.
And this time, it might change everything.
OR
Will Byers swears he’s over Him. Mike Wheeler swears he doesn't have feelings for him. One reckless summer in Hawkins proves they might both be very, very wrong.

Summary
“Shut up!” Mike says with a scowl. “I meant, like…I was just thinking…why don’t we just do it? Why don’t Will and I kiss?”
It’s as if you could hear a pin drop.
Lucas stares at Mike like he’s grown an extra head. Dustin and El exchange a meaningful look. Even Max, who just a moment ago had been happily poking fun at Mike, is seemingly at a loss for words.
Will is silent too, color rising to his cheeks. It’s one thing for Max to suggest it; it’s another entirely for Mike to double down. Mike, his best friend for as long as he can remember. Mike, who regardless of any newfound warmth could barely touch Will for an entire year. Mike, who is oblivious to the fact that Will is desperately in love with him.
Mike, who despite all that said Why don’t Will and I kiss as if it were the simplest thing in the world.
After his first semester of college ends, Will is more than happy to spend a relaxing New Year's Eve in Mike's basement with the rest of the Party. Things go off the rails, however, when Max and El ask everyone to join in on an interesting new tradition—a tradition which may or may not involve him and Mike sharing a kiss.

Summary
Will was all out of excuses to keep avoiding Mike. He didn’t think he’d be strong enough to keep avoiding Mike either way - not with Mike calling him everyday- but this feels entirely too soon, the memories still fresh. Will feels that if he even thinks about Mike he could feel the phantom of Mike’s fingers digging into his hips, his lips pressing into Wills’ pulse, the thickness of his hair between Wills’ fingers.
The Wheeler’s front door opens on its own, and Will jumps from where he’s standing, letting out a small yelp in surprise.
or
Will can't avoid Mike forever, and they talk about what happened the day they got high together.

Summary
Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”
Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”

Summary
“Wait,” Will said in a harsh, croaky voice. He felt like his brain was dribbling out of his ears and he fell onto the couch with a small poof of air as he stared at Mike in such a hard daze that it was a wonder he didn’t pass out again. “I - what do you - “
They stared at each other.
The air was thick and suddenly it was like Will could taste ozone at the back of his tongue, like electricity was coating his mouth and didn’t leave any room to breathe, to think, and his voice was wobbly, uncertain, as he said, “what do you mean… other boys?”
***
Will tells everybody about his Tammy.
Mike, of course, reacts in a totally normal way.
