Summary
(PODFIC AVAILABLE)
Lucas doesn’t believe in coincidences. That much is a given. Most especially now that Max is still hospitalized, so he has more time to really observe the people around him and willingly take charge in uncovering certain mysteries smaller than the upside down and much closer to him than he thinks. He eventually starts picking up on things he’s always been skeptical of
OR
Sometime during the 18 months, Lucas is finally choosing to believe he’s in fact NOT crazy and that Mike Wheeler is exactly what Lucas has always thought he was (a homosexual)- Language:

Summary
There's a strange, unfamiliar feeling that lingers in the air between them, with no way of knowing if it's shared. It almost feels like some kind of rift, forcing them apart and then back together.
No – it's something more… real. More tangible.
More terrifying."Hey, um… Mike?"
Will’s voice is distant, muffled by their backs turned to each other. There’s a shuffle of blankets as his weight shifts, but Mike doesn’t turn to face him.
"Yeah?"
"...Were you lying?"
Silence.
"...Mike?"
Following the end of S5 vol 1., Mike and Will navigate their feelings for each other, dangerous misunderstandings, an ultimately manipulated story, and, unknowingly, how to break their curse when it inevitably all comes down to them to save the world -- and each other.
**this fic IS byler, but it's written into the story in a realistic(VERY SLOWBURN)way that makes the story and especially mike's character make much more sense. him, will, and especially el, deserved so much better.
plot holes and (most) of our grievances will be fixed in this story.
stay tuned, this is something i plan to finish :)- Language:

Summary
The first time Will felt that something was seriously wrong with him, he did what he thought was best, which is absolutely nothing. It was hands-down the worst decision he’d ever made, and considering how his life turned out, that was saying something.
If he’d just opened his mouth, said something—anything—it might’ve saved him from being possessed for the next year and a half.
Or:
November 6, 1987. Will disappears for seven days, then comes back alive but possessed. Mike takes his sweet time connecting the dots, but once he does, he’s definitely not okay with this information.
