Summary
it’s 2010.
myspace still matters, and will byers spends most nights doomscrolling instead of sleeping. college would’ve been lonely if his roommate lucas wasn’t constantly yelling into his headset at some douchebag called mike wheeler — alt-boy musician, internet pretty boy, and apparently the most irritating person alive sometimes.
at least until mike sends will a friend request.
what happens when lucas sinclair’s childhood best friend can’t seem to stop messaging him?
or worse, flirting with him.

Summary
Mike has been acting weird lately - making excuses, being evasive, smiling to himself when he thinks no one is looking. And the hickeys are the nail in the coffin. Will knows Mike has a new girlfriend that he hasn't told anyone about, and he's determined to dig up clues about this secret lady-love. Not because he's jealous. Will has moved on from Mike - really. He refuses to spend his whole life pining over someone who's never going to want him. He just wants to find out about this mystery girl, to make sure she's right for Mike and she's treating him well.
But when Mike invites his lab partner from biology along to a party, Will is a tad distracted from his mission. Because Emmett is pretty clearly gay.
(Spoiler alert: Mike isn't dating a girl.)(Note: I know not many people care about OCs (and I totally understand), but I promise this is very byeler-centered - it's much more about Mike and Will than it is about Mike's bf, and it is endgame byeler.) (Also: prompt from Tumblr. Thank you, sorry it took like a year oops!)

Summary
"For as long as Mike could remember, he had felt a missingness within him, a crushing void humming in his chest. He could never quite place what it was, or why. Before the Upside Down, he chalked it up to being the middle child, the only male child, in addition to being the nerdy tormented kid at school. He was the black sheep, the odd one out. But now, Mike was beginning to think he might be too ignorant to understand what was actually wrong with him, while everyone else around him inherently knew. He spent too many nights wondering, imagining himself in others’ shoes. Why did they always pick on him? What set him apart? Why did he feel so wrong?"
or...
In the absence of Will and El, Mike is left depressed and in a rut, wasting most of the summer holed up in his basement. When his great-grandmother passes away, he is left facing a past he forgot existed.
or or...
i'm projecting what i've gone thru onto mike + adding ST plotlines
