Summary
College was supposed to be a fresh start. The Party is scattered across nearby campuses, close enough to pretend nothing has changed. Will is finally happy or at least trying to be with his new boyfriend, Carlton. Mike tells himself he doesn’t care. He tells himself a lot of things.
Between shared houses, crowded college parties, and a friend group that never really learned how to separate, they keep falling into familiar patterns: late nights, quiet check-ins, and Mike noticing things he probably shouldn’t anymore. Everything Mike thought he understood about himself starts to unravel. Some realizations come too late. Some feelings refuse to stay buried.
And some feelings don’t fade just because you pretend they have.

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

Summary
The True Blue series celebrates my two favorite characters. I want to write them a thousand happy endings. This is my first.
A slow-burn, mostly canon-compliant Stranger Things novelization with a Byler endgame. Above all else, this is a love story told entirely through the POVs of Mike Wheeler and Will Byers. We remain rooted in their inner worlds — limited to their knowledge, thoughts, and feelings.
Every title is a different lyric pulled from Lucy Dacus’s Boygenius song "True Blue." Each season has its own through-line:
* Season 1: You can’t help but become the sun (Mike POV)
* Season 2: I remember who I am when I’m with you (Will POV)
* Season 3: You were happy, and I wasn’t surprised (Will POV)
* Season 4: I can’t hide from you like I hide from myself (Mike POV)
* Season 5: Your love is tried and true blue (Mike/Will alternating POV)Major rewrites are coming in Season 5, but for now, let's start from the top. Each episode will be its own chapter; each season its own work. Thanks for sticking with me.
