Mike shakes his head a little too vehemently, flustered under Will’s stare, at their closeness, at everything about him. ‘No! I don’t – of course people change, I just . . .’ He shakes his head again. ‘It’s stupid.’
‘No, it’s not stupid.’ Will’s hands trail down Mike’s arms, and it takes everything in him not to shiver. Will takes his hands and swings them slightly, back and forth. ‘You’re right. People do change. It’s just how we deal with it that matters.’
‘And . . . how do we deal with it?’ Mike whispers, hating the way his voice comes out all rough and scared. Will’s eyes slide up to meet his, and the corners of his mouth tug upwards in a tentative smile.
‘I want to hear your story.’
// or, Mike actually doesn't hate Spiderman. He just hates everything about him.
He also doesn't know that Spiderman is Will. But that's a totally different story.
Thoughts: this one is really. It explores mikes grief and survivor's guilt really well.

Will Byers is Spiderman. His roommate and best friend, Mike Wheeler, does not know this. Mike believes that Spiderman is stalking him, which is a fair assumption, considering he shows up everywhere Mike happens to be.
Thoughts: This one is very funny

Mike and Will start on a swingset in kindergarten, almost eighteen years ago, when Will is five, very shy, and sitting by himself during recess. Mike Wheeler slots himself into Will's life like he was always meant to be there — shuffles beside him, asks if he wants to be friends. He is the first friend Will ever makes, and they don't know it yet, but Mike will change his life forever.
(And, well, Will has a few secrets from Mike. One: that he's the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and two: that Will is hopelessly in love with him. The latter happened long before the former, and that's almost exactly the reason why Will hasn't said anything at all, and probably never will.)
Thoughts: this one is very well written and i loved it. The entire plot was really cool, with a spider verse kinda vibe

School is finally out for winter break, and Mike Wheeler is having a full-on crisis. Not only is he running into his “friendly neighborhood Spider-Man” more often than he would like or expect, but he's simultaneously having to endure the excruciating experience of falling in love with his best friend.
…Of course, there’s also the fact that said best friend and Spider-Man are the same person, but Mike’s still figuring that out.
To put it simply, this Christmas is bringing him nothing but a mental breakdown.
(Essentially, Will is Spider-Man, and Mike has no idea. For now, at least.)
Thoughts: this is just fucking hilarious. Mike is so confused and in denial it hilarious.

He staggered back over the edge, crying out. Just in time, Spiderman shot out an arm to grab him from around the waist, pulling Mike out of danger. Mike cursed himself, adrenaline pumping wildly. The superhero chuckled, getting them as far away from the edge of the rooftop as possible, before letting Mike go.
“You okay?” Spiderman asked, and Mike could almost see his grin of amusement.
Mike, on the other hand, was the epitome of embarrassment. “Uh,” He croaked. He felt like crying.
“Seriously, are you going into cardiac arrest?” Spiderman asked, putting a hand on Mike’s shoulder.
Mike felt himself flush deeper. “No. No- yeah. I’m fine. Thank you.” He looked at the ground. The right knee of his khakis was stained oil-black. How had that even happened?
“You sure?” Spiderman squeezed his shoulder. That was not helping at all.
“Yeah.” Mike nodded, and Spiderman released his grip. “Fine. Thanks for…” He trailed off. “Saving me. I guess.”
or, Micheal James Wheeler, an intern at a New York based publishing company, is in love with his best friend. Will Byers, a student majoring in visual arts, is Spiderman. As in THE Spiderman.
Thoughts: its really cute. its super fluffy and Robin is in it.

“You have a gift,” his mom whispers. There’s an earnest look in her eyes, and she looks up at Will, taking another slow, trembling breath. “You have power, Will. And with great power, there must also come great responsibility.”
When Will's world is turned upside down by threats from other universes, he must work together with some old friends as well as some new ones and learn what it really means to be Spider-Man.
(Aka Spider-Man: No Way Home, but make it Byler)
Thoughts: yes just yes, now everytime i re watch this movie i will be sad that this wasnt what actually happened.

In a world where the Avengers fly over New York City, Willow Byers is a normal 15 year old girl. Or was. Right before her sophomore year of high school, she goes on a class trip that changes everything... even her DNA.
Being superhuman was something she got used to over two years with the help of her best friend Dustin Henderson. But then her senior year starts and her ex best friend MJ (Michelle Jay Wheeler) comes back into her life, which makes her Spidergirl activities more... complicated.
Follow Willow Byers, Spidergirl, as she takes on life as an average high school girl turned superhuman while fighting villains that roam the street... and some villains that seem to be hiding where no one can find them.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/41583384/chapters/104299824
The truth is, Will wouldn't know what an actual normal person does, not really. The word normal has become a thing of the past, an outdated word that's been permanently torn from his vocabulary.
Will Byers hasn't known normal for years. Not since that damn spider bit him.
And just when Will thinks he's finally figured out this whole superhero life, here comes Mike Wheeler, ready to prove him wrong.
Thoughts: AAHHHHHHHHHH this is my favourite byler fanfic i love it so much. I read it for the first time back in 2023 when i hadnt watched the show but kinda found myself obbsesed w byler reading proofs on pintrest. This is the fic that made me obsessed w Spider Will.

Will has been getting carried away with Spider duties. So has his friends. And after a news article surfaced about their latest arrest; the group have to reunite with an old friend.

Will Byers moves to New York, starting a new life after the chaos of his childhood. He learns to navigate the bustling city as new friendships emerge and old memories come to the surface. Can he use his unique abilities to prevent the supernatural takeover of the city he now calls home, or will his family and friends fall victim to the tragedy he's failed to prevent.
Will Byers as Spiderman in a 90's high school au, befriends the original Hawkins party, reunites with a special someone, and they all fight evil together.
Thoughts: Everyone loves will (except mike but thats only for now.) Mike is an awesome brother and overall a very confused individual. I love it.

"Alright, Doctor Wheeler. You're up."
"What?" Mike replied. His gaze bounced between Will's wound, his eyes and his lips.
"I can't do the next part, my hands are too shaky. You'll have to stitch it up."
Mike felt like throwing up. He looked down at the needle and suture sitting in the kit. It's like they were staring at him, mocking him.
"I-"
"Please, Mike."
"I don't want to hurt you, Will."
Will thought that was quite generous of him, considering how much Will had hurt Mike within the last 20 or so minutes. Within the last year and a half, actually.
Will was sure he was looking at an angel, not Mike Wheeler. Or maybe Mike Wheeler was the angel he was looking at. Who would've thought that Mike also had a secret identity this whole time? An angel in disguise.
Logline: While on the brink of death, Will decides to pay Mike a late-night visit after not seeing him for a year and a half.
Logline 2: Mike finds out in the craziest way possible that his best friend (who he hasn't seen in over a year) was actually a rooftop-swinging, tight suit-wearing, complete idiot of a superhero and it all starts with waking up to Spiderman bleeding out in his living room.
Thoughts: it made me very sad but happy at the same time. its cute and fluffy and agnsty all at ones.

Mike smiled as he chewed, eyes scanning over the stranger. He let himself wander down to his lower exposed face. Everytime he heard the other guy laugh or smile he wondered what it’d look like. But he wasn’t expecting that.
His jaw stopped moving, cheeks fat with an un-swallowed piece of donut. His breath hitched as he stared at Spider-Man’s lips.
Anyone could have upper lip moles, right? And anyone could have bunny teeth. It wasn’t just— No, not him.
Where Mike finds out Will is Spider-Man because he sees Will's mole. And he spirals about it, because of course he does.
Thoughts: its hillarious mike knows wills identity and will doest know that mike knows and its just really funny. They r lowkey idiots in this but thats my favourite trope so...

Two years ago, Will Byers became the one and only Spider-Man. Of course, nobody really knows that. After a rough breakup, Will's lease is almost up, and he needs to find somewhere to live before his junior year of college, particularly with someone who won't ask too many questions about his "extracurriculars".
Three months ago, Mike Wheeler was looking for a roommate, and a couple of mutual connections between him and one Will Byers led to them spontaneously moving in together right before the school year started. Mike only wishes he could figure out what exactly Will does in his free time (maybe because he has a little crush on him).
Thoughts: kinda angsty. Slowly everyone finds out leaving Mike as the only one who doest know.

Mike Wheeler doesn’t trust superheroes, doesn’t like chaos, and doesn’t cope well with being ditched.
The problem? Will keeps disappearing, and Spider-Man keeps showing up.
In an early 2000s New York where superheroes are part of everyday life, Mike Wheeler is struggling with his feelings for his best friend and his growing distrust of heroes. Can Mike tell the difference between the hero he distrusts and the boy he loves, before the truth comes swinging in?
Thoughts: so so so so very good YESSSSS its adorable
