Summary
"Mike runs his tongue over the bottom of Will’s lips, and they’re forced to pull apart, but only because one of the lights above them literally explodes. They both take a step back, breathing heavy. Will’s face is wet, and he instinctively goes to wipe his eyes, only to realize that they aren’t his tears, they’re Mike’s.
“I hate when you yell at me.” Mike says, and he sounds so broken that Will wants to crawl into a hole and never let anyone look at him again. He feels tears prick at the back of his own eyes, and fights to keep them contained. He feels like this isn’t about him, even though he knows it absolutely is,
“I- I’m so sorry.” he replies, and he is. It sounds pathetic, even to him. Mike laughs, but it’s more of a sob."
Or
Mike and Will have a fight after Will comes out. Unresolved feelings ensue.

Summary
“It had been about a month since they had defeated Vecna.
It didn’t feel right to say they’d won, even though they technically did. They were all more comfortable with the term ‘defeat’. They’d been trying to get back to some sense or normalcy ever since. It hadn’t been going well, which was stupid, because it was supposed to be great! Will thinks that maybe they all feel a little guilty that they aren’t enjoying winning as much.”
AKA the party wins, and they’re all fine, except for the ways that they really, really aren’t.
Post canon, mild byler, basically just exploring what it’s going to be like after winning and suffering through unimaginable trauma

Summary
“It’s been a week and a half since they had driven the mind flayer out of him. He won’t be back to school for a while. His mom and Jonathan have been having a hell of a time finding someone to babysit him while they’re both gone. It’s been very embarrassing, and Jonathan can tell that the lack of privacy has been driving Will crazy.
Will thinks that’s why Jonathan decides to throw him a bone.
He asks if Will would be okay if he took a nap for an hour or two? Will nods enthusiastically. He reiterates that Will can and should come get him for anything he needs. Will agrees.
Jonathan goes in his room and shuts the door.
And then Will makes a series of choices that are incredibly, incredibly dumb. “
Immediately post S2 imagining of what happened after Will was unpossessed and how he felt knowing that Bob was dead.

Summary
Vecna grins at this. ‘So, you want to die, then?’
Will doesn’t bother responding. They both know the answer. They both know it will happen. If it’s all he has left, he will at least die without giving Vecna the satisfaction of thinking he wasn’t ready to go.
_________________
Will Byers knows how it feels to die
Which is how he knows that that’s what’s happening to him right now.
(Takes place during season 5 - not a prediction and it won’t happen but it’s a nice thought!!)

Summary
Will has been acting strange lately. He’s moody and secretive one minute and floating on air the next. He’s making secret phone calls, sneaking out of the house. One day, he even asks Hopper for dating advice.
It’s very strange.
Oh, and the other thing. He just won’t stop talking about Mike Wheeler.
It takes Hopper an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure out why.
Or
Will and Mike are in love and get together. Hopper thinks that they must be really, really good friends.
Prompt from lab-trash on tumblr: “I am once again begging for an oblivious Hopper fic”

Summary
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have spent years orbiting each other, close enough to feel everything, too scared to say anything. When a mix-up at school causes Will's sketchbook and Mike's journal to get swapped, each boy suddenly holds something deeply personal: pages filled with late-night thoughts, half-finished confessions, and words they never meant the other to see.
Will finds writings about himself in Mike's margins, pieces of stories where the hero always has brown eyes, and a running list titled "Things I Should Tell Will Someday." Mike discovers drawings of him hidden between landscapes, quiet entries about missing home, and a note that Will wrote but never delivered: "I wish you knew how much you matter to me."
Both boys panic, do they pretend nothing happened? Return the books untouched? Confront the truth? But the more they read, the more they realize the feelings they've been burying aren't one-sided.
When monsters return to Hawkins and the boys are forced to depend on each other again, the unsent letters become the one thing keeping them brave. As danger closes in, Mike and Will must decide: keep hiding behind words they never said, or finally speak them out loud, before it's too late.

Summary
“Maybe, Will considered, he just needed to get used to the fact that, dark dimensions aside, he wasn’t going to live a very long life. All signs seemed to point towards the same grim fate."
OR
A novelization of Will Byers' life from 1976-wherever canon takes us! This is a VERY slow burn byler fic.
