Summary
"While the words linger in his mind, slipping into all the corners that had been laid bare for days, he comes to a painfully frustrating realization: Mike Wheeler is the solution to all of his problems."
After a particularly disastrous first meeting, Will is convinced his neighbor is nothing more than an arrogant asshole with zero regard for anyone but himself. He's also pretty sure that, unless he's incredibly unlucky, he'll never have to deal with him again.
But Will Byers has never been particularly lucky, and when the partner assigned to the competition that might be his only chance to attend the master's program of his dreams turns out to be that very same neighbor... things get complicated.
As if that weren't enough, everything gets even messier when his sister falls in love with his best friend.Bookmarked by Doratheexplora18

Summary
“‘Have you ever loved someone so much that you want to crawl into their skin and make a home for yourself in the cage of their bones?’
‘… No?’ Dustin said.
‘Yeah. No. Me neither.’ Mike laughed.”
This is a horror fic.
This is a love story.

What happened in the 18 months between seasons 4 and 5? A mostly canon compliant fic starting at the end of season 4 to season 5 and a rewritten finale. Mike Wheeler-centric.
No AI was used in the making of this fic.

“That night, after Mike drops Will back home— he draws. A beautiful, full page portrait of Mike and the exact moment when they cuddled up together at the movie theater.
A broken down house with a stain glass window on the next—“Or a byler-centric season 3 re-write where Mike and Will are already together, and Will is experiencing something strange.

Summary
Will Byers is used to being watched, It comes with the job.
Gallery openings, interviews, strangers who look a little too long at his work, at him.
What he isn't used to is being targeted.
When the messages start getting too personal, too specific, Lucas insists on bringing in outside security, someone who would blend in more.
Will expects someone obvious.
Instead he gets Mike Wheeler.Quiet. Controlled. Always watching.
The kind of person who doesn't miss anything.
Including Will.
And that might be the problem.Series
