Summary
Mike opens his mouth, then closes it. Too many questions crowded in the back of his throat. What happened to you this week? What are you hiding? Why didn’t you call me? None of them make it out.
Lucas, steadier, breaks the silence.
“Whose car was that?”
It takes Will a moment to answer. He blinks at the wall behind Lucas like he’s trying to rewind something in his head.
“I borrowed it,” he says finally.
Lucas tilts his head. “Really? From who?”
When Will Byers arrives at the WSQK radio station in a vandalized car none of them recognize, the walls he’s built start to crack. What slips out is a secret he’s been hiding in plain sight.

Summary
He recalls old memories. Memories layered in dust and glossed over by time. A strike to the face. Words shouted like bruises, worming their way into his skull and causing a shame he’s never been able to shake. A fort in the woods and dice thrown across tables. Laughter easing all of his pain. But never erasing it.
Or
Set during the 18 months between s4 and s5, everyone has too much time on their hands. Will struggles with his constant headaches and growing shame in certain feelings that won't go away, until he meets someone who provides the perfect distraction. And perhaps some self acceptance, but not without cost. Mike can feel Will slipping away, but there are some secrets Will just can't bring himself to share.

Summary
Mike bleeds out, slowly, in Will's arms. Just enough energy to say the words he's always meant to say.
Then he wakes up.
It's 1983.
(Or: Vecna wins. Time travel ensues.)

Very interesting start! Seems like vecna made byler go back in time to their younger selves, for what? Reasons unknown but my theory is he wants them to stop everything

Summary
Now, Mike had almost three extra years' worth of memories, including the revelation and inevitable acceptance of his feelings for his best friend and the subsequent aftermath of said best friend’s heroic sacrifice.
“No, no, no, NO! I just got you back! Please, please, Will, please–I can’t lose you, not again! WILL–”
He remembered the two girls placing their hands on his shoulders, Kali’s sympathetic grip and El’s agonized clench as they gazed down at their adopted brother.
Now, here he was, the summer it all started going too wrong to right.
~~~
After Will sacrifices himself to defeat Vecna, Mike is sent back in time to the beginning of season 3 to prevent any more tragedy
Now, he'll do whatever it takes
For Will.
