    Summary

    Mike Wheeler is stuck. Has felt that way for months now and can't seem to shake it. Running out on an NYC premiere, he bumps into Will Byers, who he's been avoiding writing back to for months. Will Byers, happy and settled in the city, who Mike neglected to tell about said premiere. It doesn't help that Mike's cracked his face open on the stupid sidewalk.

    Will, concerned, insists he stay with him, and old feelings and memories resurface further and further the longer they spend together.

    Summary

    “Hopper doesn’t know I’m gay.”

    Jonathan squinted at him, mind prone to lag in the morning. “Why would Hopper not know? You told us as clearly as you could without using the word—”

    “He was already on the way to Radio Shack,” Will said in a rush. He gripped his bag tighter so his arms wouldn’t start to flail with panicky emphasis. “He wasn’t there when I came out.”

    Summary

    “It doesn’t matter if it takes a hundred more crawls,” Mike says, planting his hands against the table. “A thousand! We don’t stop until we’re goddamn sure that wrinkled, rotting, noseless bastard is dead and gone and never coming back.”

    Will’s smiling, now, looking reassured. And Mike’s saying it for El’s sake, but also Will’s. Max’s. Eddie’s, too. Everyone who’s been hurt by this monster, who won’t be able to sleep at night with even the slimmest chance that he might still be out there.

    He has to do something. And until there’s a better plan, or more information to go off of, this is the only option.

    He puts his hand out above the table. “Everyone in?”

    Lucas, looking determined, slaps his palm on top of Mike’s. Then Will. Then, when there’s only one of them left, they turn to look at Dustin.

    Dustin’s mouth twitches to the side. His torn Hellfire shirt ripples in the late-autumn breeze. “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter,” he says. His voice is low, almost scarily detached. Like he has nothing left to lose. “Just wish I could do it myself.”

    season 5, but make it byler. (again!)

    Summary

    Hopper rubbed his face, looking suddenly tired. "Look, I know you think I'm being unreasonable. But I'm trying to do what's best for you. What if..." He paused, eyes looking back and forth between El and Will. He was thinking hard about something. "What if we modified the rule slightly?"

    "Modified how?" El asked.

    "You can date… when Will does."

    El and Will’s stomachs both dropped.

    "What?!" They burst out in unison.

    "You heard me. When your brother starts dating someone, you can date too. That way I know you're both mature enough to handle it."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of, if not the most creative byler fanfics I've ever read. The plot, the premise, the way everything comes together... chefs kiss. And the writing was so so good, made me genuinely tear up in some places
