This is a very new page I made to have a place to organize and share all the Byler fics I've read. I'll post recs for now, and eventually if people would like you can inbox to ask for certain types of fics, example "can you find any enemies to lovers fics?"

I'm still working on creating a tag page where you'll be able to browse through tons of tropes, themes etc. feel free to follow and send a message! (I do have a full time job so I can't promise responses/recs will be quick)

Letters to Will (Live from New York) by sofishortcake (6/? | 46,477 | Mature)

“Thanks for taking care of me, Mike. I didn’t mean to drink this much.” Mike locks the dorm door behind him with a quiet click. He turns to see Will swaying against the wall. “You know, I could’ve had Carlton walk me back. If you wanted to stay at the party.” Mike laughs, low and sharp, taking a deliberate step closer. “Yeah, I bet he would've loved that. And, please... stop saying his fucking name, okay?” His voice rises, strained with a tension he can’t hide. Other names in Will’s mouth twist his stomach in ways he can’t explain. Will swallows, gaze dropping. “Sorry, I just meant…I’m so happy you’re here, but I know you’re not just here to see me, and you probably want—” Mike cuts him off without a second thought. He grabs Will’s arms, and shoves him lightly but firmly against the wall. Their chests collide, faces inches apart, the air between them charged and electric. Will freezes—but Mike doesn’t back down. “Will…you have no idea what I want,” he whispers, eyes dropping to Will’s lips. Every shred of control he’s ever clung to around him melting. And there truly must be something in the NYC air, because Mike from Hawkins would have never dared to do what he does next.

The Summer of 1992 by blueandgold97 (3/16 | 9,721 | Teen and Up)

“I know what you mean, in a way.” Lucas said as the two boys made eye contact, “It feels like you’re drowning, but also so exciting at the same time.” The boy nodded his head, “Exactly! I’ve never felt it before–” Mike trailed off when a small smirk came on Lucas’ face. “You know, I only feel it around Max.” Mike’s breath hitched in his throat as Lucas continued to speak, “I think it’s called love. We all know you loved El, but man, the way you have always looked at Will.” He stops his sentence to shake his head, “You would die for that guy, I mean, you almost did.” — It was the summer of 1992, and the Party was spending the Fourth of July with the older young adults at Robin's uncle's house. Mike and Will, now college roommates, are still best friends. Yet, Mike is slowly coming to terms with the realization that he might like Will Byers in more than a best friend way, and always has, with the help of Lucas and the rest of the group. And Will is coming back to the realization that he was never quite over Mike Wheeler, which everyone else seemed to know.

i've come home, i'm so cold by astrobi (4/4 | 53,522 | Teen and Up)

“You’re not boning, though, right?” he says, suddenly. He doesn’t know why he feels such an urge to bring it up again, as if the thought of Mike boning is not something that is CODE RED #1 at the top of Will's list of things to absolutely never think about. But also. Look– “What? No, of course I’m not boning,” Mike splutters, turning a violent shade of scarlet, “how would I even hide that from you, I’m with you all the time–” And then he falls silent, so fast that Will gets tonal whiplash from how fast Mike just went from saying boning over and over again to just clamping his mouth shut and staring at the wall across from them.

Will's trying his hardest to make it through fall semester in one piece. Unfortunately for his degree, he's being haunted by maybe-feelings for his best friend (metaphorically), and also a maybe-ghost with rather abysmal fashion sense (literally).

talk to me by Tired_Kei (17/20 | 37,723 | Explicit)

Will Byers doesn’t consider himself brave. He considers himself a HD student with a low tolerance for vodka and a talent for leaving early. But bravery, it turns out, isn’t always loud. Sometimes it's handed out like permission slips at crowded college parties: permission to drink too much, to flirt badly, and take a hit from someone else’s cola flavoured vape. Or; College AU, Ivy League Will Byers/Teenage Dirtbag Mike Wheeler

will byers’ guide to advanced concepts in painting by falloutboi (6/6 | 18,437 | Mature)

Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?” Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.” Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.” Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.” -- Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend. Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

asking too much by kissingpractice (4/4 | 27,913 | Explicit)

“So yeah, you could say I’m sexually frustrated,” Will concludes, a wry smile on his face as he finally finishes his rant. “Not to be too graphic, but all I want is a nice, good-looking man who can fuck me hard.” He tips his head towards Mike’s where they're both leaning against the wall, and shuts his eyes for a long moment. “It’s whatever, though. I’ll get ov-” “I could help you out,” Mike blurts out. “You- I- What did you say?” Will stammers. Mike squeezes his eyes shut for a long moment, breathes, and then opens them again and meets Will’s gaze determinedly. “I could help you,” Mike says, with somehow only the slightest tremble of uncertainty in his voice. "As in, we could have sex." or; Will is struggling. Guys who are nice, hot, AND good in bed are apparently non-existent at their university. Frustrated, he complains to Mike - who makes him an offer he can't refuse. Unfortunately, there's always an aftermath to hooking up with your best friend. Meanwhile, Mike has some realisations.

Letters to Will (Live from New York) by sofishortcake (6/? | 46,407 | Mature)

we could be heroes (just for one day) by avidkoyomilover (4/5 | 50,302 | not rated)

I'm Not Afraid of Our Story by ZaraMelMercury (5/7 | 14,326 | Teen and Up)

Will Byers has powers. He's a sorcerer! As the whole party attempts to reunite for one final battle against Vecna, Mike Wheeler has a good number of revelations about the person he wants to be - especially the person he wants to be for Will. (An alternate ending for Stranger Things 5, post-volume 1)

The Pietà by grapejuiceblues28 (7/10 | 23,659 | Teen and Up)

Mike has been in love with Will for a very long time but hasn't quite come to terms with it yet. That is, until Will saves his life, Lucas nudges him in the right direction and Robin laughs in his face. Once he makes a mixtape, though, all hell breaks loose—from him realizing his feelings for Will to the world ending. If Mike had to choose which is worse, he wouldn’t...he'd argue it’s an even split. - Or a rewrite of season five with a whole lot of Byler fluff, told Mike's jealous, lovestruck POV. This is all canon to me personally.

one last adventure. by abisbookcase (2/? | 25,046 | Mature)

stranger things 5 vol 2 & the finale (but better) OR i rewrote stranger things season 5 vol 2 and the finale because everyone deserved so much better than what they got.

love was the law and religion was taught bymugamuchyuu (1/1 | 21,132 | Mature)

A few days after Will Byers unlocked his powers, he and Mike Wheeler get sent out on a mission to a place that’s suspiciously guarded in Vecna’s mind, which is Hawkin’s Church. Mike has a general dislike for churches that he put aside in favor of accompanying Will. When Will’s connection to Vecna spirals out of control, Mike is caught in the fallout, not only forced to confront the truth he’s been carrying with him for years but also try to get Will and himself out of there alive. The biggest issue is, Will is possessed and Mike isn’t leaving the church without him. What begins as a desperate attempt to wake Will up, ends in Mike realizing he would rather face hell than lose Will again.

It's just polyester. by mayfixlds, okwillthewise (13/13 | 60,465 | Teen and up)

“I just can’t believe he’s got a boyfriend and-” “It’s not you?” Max smacks on the lollipop or, Will gets a boyfriend and Mike gets jealous.

Win or Lose by gardenfairie (12/12 | 81,373 | Teen and Up)

“Well, it was nice meeting you two,” David said. He leaned forward towards Will, and gave him a single, light pat on his head. “And I’ll see you around,” he said softly. Will blinked up at him in a daze, eyes wide and cheeks gaining a tint of pink again. Mike stared, stunned. Did he just touch Will’s hair? Mike was the only one that ever did that!

Mike's semester takes a serious turn when— A) He realizes he's in love with his best friend B) A popular handsome senior takes interest in said best friend, and he can't stand it

Teenage Blues by ThornyWords (35/35 | 227,002 | Teen and Up)

Mike's parents have an agenda for him, one he wants to avoid following. He doesn't want to go to college. He doesn't want to get a girlfriend or get married. Mike wants to sit in his room all day and play his guitar. That is until his mom forces him to bring a date to a family celebration, and he thinks of a brilliant plan to piss his parents off. He forms an alliance with the new kid, Will Byers, in which he agrees to go with Mike to his family dinner, and they pretend they're dating. They planned the fake dating part at the dinner party, but what happens when they keep the facade up to help Will? What happens when Mike and Will start becoming good friends? Or even scarier...What happens when Mike starts catching feelings? Or Mike and Will start a fake relationship to piss off Mike's parents but they end up becoming more---Slow burn.

Rock 'n' Roll by bylerisc4non (31/31 | 163,010 | Not Rated)

One fateful October night in 1995, Will Byers is dragged by his step-sister, Jane, and her best friend to a rock concert. That was just the beginning... -- Or: A much needed byler enemies to lovers 90s rock band au.

When Worlds Collide by Turning_tides (57/57 | 197,650 | Mature)

When bad boy Will Byers gets expelled from school in the second half of his senior year, his mom uproots their lives from Queens, New York to her hometown of Hawkins, Indiana. As if that weren’t bad enough, they move into the guest house of Joyce’s childhood best friend, Karen Wheeler, and her picture-perfect family. This should be interesting.

Reemerged by Ashtn0tiatsa (25/25 | 109,858 | Teen and Up)

Mike visits California for Christmas break. He doesn't expect for Will to have changed so much.

sweetheart, you're so cruel by perexcri (4/4 | 54,518 | Teen and Up)

Will Byers was raised to have the only correct opinions on music ever, actually, and he’s proud to show this off in the music review section of his university's queer student artists’ collective’s relatively popular zine, zine of the times. He actually really enjoys this position–that is, until the president of the zine informs him that he has to review his least favorite band on this earth: The Fellowship of the Ring. At least his incredibly attractive neighbor in his U.S. history class is gonna go with him on the assignment, right? Or: A music snob and the frontman of his most-hated local band walk into a bar for a date. It’s either the beginning of a really good joke or a really shitty love story.

we could be heroes (we can be us) by SiriuslyLovers (6/20 | 37,156 | Mature)

It's Michael Wheeler's first day of sophomore year at Hawkins High, and he's completely, terrifyingly alone. Eleven has broken up with him, and he hasn't seen his friends all summer. His world is crumbling around him, and he doesn't care enough to stop it. Until his English teacher sets an assignment to write a retelling of Romeo and Juliet - and his project partner is his ex-best friend, William Byers, the boy his world once revolved around. or, Mike Wheeler and Will Byers write a self-insert superhero comic book together about doomed, forbidden lovers and realise that they are also doomed, forbidden lovers.

touch like velvet by ciders (26/26 | 190,313 | Teen and Up)

It was easy for Will Byers to fall in love with Mike Wheeler. The trouble came when he had to pretend it wasn't real.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy (3/3 | 34,403 | Teen and Up)

“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile. Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?' Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Roll To Charm Person by harriet_vane (8/8 | 59,047 | Explicit)

Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers. “I have an idea,” says Mike. Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?” “No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.” “Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under. Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see. Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike. “Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.” “As your date."

you took my heart (I was sleeping) by lameparties (8/8 | 52,632 | Teen and Up)

It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement. Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold. or Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
