Summary
New York, 1994.
Five years ago, Mike Wheeler pushed Will Byers away with a brutal rejection, convinced it was the only way they could both live a “normal” life. Now Mike is an NYPD officer drowning in debt and haunted by his past, using violence to hide his own cowardice. Will, meanwhile, is Manhattan’s art-world darling, beautiful and brilliant, yet hollowed out from the inside, slowly destroying himself with opium and toxic entanglements.
When a Mafia money-laundering operation turns Will into the only living witness, fate mocks them again. Mike is assigned to protect the person he once swore he would cherish, and then shattered with his own hands.
Caught between the crossfire of the criminal underworld and the ghosts of the Upside Down that never truly left, it was only when a bullet buried itself in the chest of the person he loved most that Mike finally understood how merciless fate could be, teaching him the meaning of love at the exact moment it demanded the ultimate price.
But can a heart that has been broken ever deliver mercy to the one who destroyed it?
Gunfights, crime thriller, and slow burn, freaky, heavy angst with an opening of Club Byler 💙💛.

Summary
Just the first paragraph of the story BWHAHAHAHA
Summary:
Will turned the page of his comic, X-Men #134, on loan from Dustin. He’s already read it. 14 and counting since his sophomore year ended. Well, what else was he going to do? Help around the Wheeler’s? Ms. Wheeler keeps that house spotless at all times. Talk with Holly? …At much as Will hated to admit it, he would rather not. She could be… energetic at times and he never has the energy for that… not anymore. -

Summary
It's the summer before the Party are all set to move on to the rest of their lives: college, jobs, leaving Hawkins for good. Will isn't sure if it's the heat or his own self-torture, but one night on Mike's stubborn, idiotic campaign to get El back, Will agrees to pretend to be her so Mike can work on the speech he has planned. When the two of them get carried away, it leads both of them to exciting and terrifying insights into who they are and what it is they truly want.

Summary
....are you sure it was just a crush? ." Mike was speaking again, hesitantly, and he looked like he was asking the most horrifying thing his brain will allow.
Will felt a jolt, deep in his soul. He turned away and closed his eyes quickly to bite back some of the pain in his heart.
"Yeah I'm sure. It was nothing Mike, just a stupid coming of age crush - gone before it even had time to leave a mark." He swallowed, hoping Mike wouldn't hear the wobble in his voice.
Mike was still standing, frozen on the stairs so Will forced himself to half turn back again as he started to walk up. "Seriously Mike, don't even think about it any more, I don't."
And he walked out of the basement door into the hallway to join the others.
Mike was left on the stairs. Hope dead in his eyes. A single tear begging to be released. His heart aching in his chest. He was too late.
----------------------
Set in the 18 month time skip between the final battle and graduation. Mostly from Mike's POV, but switches between him and Will at points.
Kinda slow burn, Mike's crushing realisation that he is in love with Will, followed by months of angst and miscommunication. Eventual smut and a whole lot of fluff. -

Summary
Twelve days before Christmas, a freak snowstorm would hit New York. Eight days before Mike Wheeler was set to go back to Hawkins for the holidays, he went missing.
OR
mike finds a shadow crystal, starts going insane, and maybe sorta becomes the roaring knight of this timeline
OR
it's MY au and i get to decide how shadow crystals work here
no knowledge of deltarune is required to read this but i'd recommend playing it or at least watching a playthrough first because it's such a peak game
[i have no idea where this came from. also too many people i know irl have figured out my ao3 user so. hi from anon... haha isn't it funny that deltarune also has at least 3 mikes isn't that crazy
and to those who have read the fic that inspired this i say: uh, hey, maybe things took a turning left at the crossroads route right now (imagine the "turning left at the crossroads" in bright yellow obscuring the entire rest of the sentence so you can't even read it)]tags may change as i add chapters, i don't wanna promise anything that's not in here yet

Summary
I sort of add to this fic everyday (or try to) so there might be unintentional plot holes. Tags will be added as i go
my interpretation of the 18 month gap between season 4 and season 5 in a au where there is no upside down or powers, eddie is alive and byler becomes canon.
this is all my own take on what happens, if you dont like the tags dont read it, simple as lol
(each chapter is a month long)

Summary
A man rounded the corner, mid-sip of coffee.
He looked to be in his late forties. Stubble lining his jaw. There were faint lines around his eyes—earned ones, the kind that came from years of squinting at sunlight or laughing too hard.
He took one look at them—
—and stopped dead.
The ceramic mug slipped slightly in his grip.
For a long, suspended second, nobody breathed.
The man’s eyes—warm brown, familiar brown—locked onto Mike’s face.
His hand began to shake.
Slowly, carefully, like the cup might explode if he moved too fast, he set the coffee down on a nearby table.
And Mike understood.
-or-
1989 Mike and Will stumble into 2025 where they're happily married, living with their daughter.

Summary
Mike and Joyce could only watch as the soldier picked Will up like a motionless doll and threw him in the back of a bloodied Jeep, the only car that was left upright. Joyce flinched at the sound of Will’s body hitting the floor of the vehicle. The engine growled to life, tearing through the silence.
It disappeared into the passageway to the Upside Down, diving into the cold and cruel world Will once escaped from.
There was no catching up to them now.
