Summary
When the party is ambushed by swarms of demobats during the hunt for Vecna, Will and Mike find themselves alone inside Hawkins Presbyterian Church, suddenly forced to confront everything that’s been left unspoken...
‘I still dream about it sometimes. That you’re gone and I can't find you,’ Mike’s voice trembled. ‘I guess, I never got over that feeling, you know? A feeling like all the air has been ripped right out of your lungs. You can’t move or breathe...’
‘I know the feeling.’ Will was about as sure as he’d ever been.

Summary
"She told me she didn't commission it, Will."
Six words are all it takes for the walls Will built in Lenora to come crumbling down. Now, he’s sharing a room with a version of Mike Wheeler that is too attentive, too close, and suddenly, dangerously honest.
In the shadow of the final battle, they’re finally standing on the same side of the lie.
(or my version of the whole of s5)

Summary
This is my first time doing creative writing outside of college papers, so feedback is welcome. Also i've never posted on here before, so I'm not sure if this summary is long enough.
A year after graduation, Will moves into Hopper’s old cabin to start over. Mike comes to help him settle in after nearly a year of silence between them—only for a snowstorm to trap them together. With nowhere to run and too many unspoken feelings, old wounds, confessions, and the things they were too afraid to say come to light: painting gate, letters that were never sent, Lenora, etc
Also, shout out to You took my heart (I was sleeping) by lameparties for the inspo!I plan on adding more when school is less busy.

Summary
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there, you'll search no more𓂃🖋⋆.˚
After the Mindflayer and Vecna are finally defeated, Will and his friends drift from each other after they've graduated and he watches helplessly as they go their separate ways. Determined to try and move on, to try and find happiness again instead of clutching to his old life, he meets someone new; Carlton. He teaches Will how to open up again, how to trust again, and how to be honest about his feelings. But things will never feel right with Carlton. He doesn't know everything Will has been through and he could never tell him. How is he supposed to live his life happily with someone who will never truly understand?
His feelings lead him home for Christmas during Winter Holidays away from New York, where he, Jonathan, and Carlton visit as everyone finally is home again for the holidays. Things start to change within Will though, when they go to the Wheeler's for New Years, and he realizes he still has a lot of things left unfinished with Mike. Can he be brave and address them finally, now that he's "moved on"?

Summary
His pale skin glowed against the lights, the shimmery body glitter he was wearing caught light whenever he moved. It was everywhere; on his neck, across his collarbones, smeared down his chest, spread along his waist and glimmering on his arms. His lashes were coated with mascara and every time he blinked, Will was sure that there was a tornado somewhere caused by the butterfly effect. He was a sight for the sore eyes.
Or the AU where a drunk Mike Wheeler at a Halloween party tries to kiss Will Byers. Chaos ensues.

Summary
Will Byers can survive monsters, the military, and the Upside Down. What he can’t survive is Mike Wheeler paying attention.
With Hawkins still bleeding under the surface, Will falls back on rules: routines, distance, silence. Anything that keeps him from wanting too much and keep his secrets safe.
But Mike keeps stepping over the lines Will draws, gentle and stubborn, until the only rule left is the one Will's been avoiding for years: tell the truth.

Summary
Mike Wheelers laugh. That's what startled the life ending realization that he was in love.
But how could Mike ever like him back? He was just...Will. Just Will. So, Will being convinced his existence isn't something that someone else would want, tries to change the things he hates most about himself.
This results in a shopping trip for new clothing, a haircut done by Steve "the hair" Harrington, and a draw back from his friends so he can learn to be less dependent on them.
The only issue with his plan is that his skin stops feeling like his own, and Mike Wheeler is getting really tired of Will pulling away at such an alarming rate. -

Summary
In an ancient, abandoned castle hidden at the edge of Hawkins, two unlikely souls find each other in the shadows. William Byers stumbles upon the blackened, vine-covered fortress and is drawn inside by curiosity-and a strange sense of destiny. Mike, a mysterious inhabitant of the castle, watches silently from the upper halls, his presence both eerie and captivating.
As days turn into evenings and evenings into weeks, Will's visits become a ritual. The castle hums with quiet intimacy, the kind only two people who understand solitude can share. Words are whispered, glances linger, and every touch carries the weight of decades of isolation and longing.
But connection is fragile. Trust must be earned, boundaries tested, and hearts carefully uncovered in the dim light of the castle's walls. Will and Mike navigate fear, desire, and the delicate pull between them, learning that even in darkness, warmth-and something more-can thrive.
A slow-burning tale of discovery, intimacy, and the quiet power of presence.

Summary
To Will Byers, Lenora Hills feels like nothing more than a cheap set piece: beige houses, manicured lawns, and a relentless sun that does nothing but sting his eyes. But one night, Mike Wheeler tumbles into his room with a set of van keys and a reckless idea.
A single midnight drive, a shared can of ice-cold soda, and the accidental brush of their hands are all it takes for Will’s "cardboard" world to finally bloom into vivid, living color.

Summary
Will never thought his life would play out like a film. He was just the background noise, the extra on set. He never expected to be the kind of person movies make the main character. The kind of person who gets swept up in a story to be told.
Then Mike showed up, and the scenes started feeling like they were his.
~
or: Will Byers moves to Hawkins from California, gets an after-school job at the video rental store, and meets Mike Wheeler — who, it turns out, might be checking out more than just movies.
