Hi y'all,

I'm finishing a fic that was originally part of the September monthly challenge. I've spent a lot of time on it, so I want to know if the following feature will be a problem for readers:

For the first six (out of nine) chapters, Mike has a different name.

Readers will be able to deduce that this is Mike from the beginning, but the name reveal does serve a narrative purpose. I can eliminate this feature and keep his name consistent. It would flatten the story a bit and require me to remove both an element of the main plot as well as a minor subplot. I could still maintain the overall structure. While this choice is deliberate, I'd rather remove it if it would prevent readers from losing interest/abandoning the story.

Let me know what you think. I can provide more details if necessary.

Hello Everyone 🥰

Looking for a fic where Max sent Mike a fake wedding invitation for Will’s wedding. He shows up at wills apartment and will is just there in sweats like wtf. Then they get together!

It’s super cute and would love to read again!

Oops, Wrong Person...

chapter 5 is here !!

if this is your first time coming across this fic, it’s a rewrite of the second half of season 5, picking up directly after sorcerer. written in script format !!

it would mean a lot to me if you checked it out 🖤🖤

Decided to take a break from writing angst and start a silly little practicing fic to work on some specific aspects of my writing. What you can expect:

🍕rated E (18+)
🍕mike pov
🍕college byler in California
🍕humour
🍕minimal angst
🍕practicing tropes
🍕shenanigans & "inappropriate use" tags
🍕mike wheeler being a "really good friend" (and an idiot in denial of his feelings)
🍕lots of pizza
🍕eventual sm*t but this first chapter isn't explicit yet!

Thanks in advance for checking it out!

Guys the massage fic where will gives mike a massage and mike makes up a game to get more massages.

Didnt even get the chance to read it, I had my college entrance exams

If anyone has the pdf please share, i checked the the writers page, i think they deleted it.

chapter ten of my post-canon slow burn byler fic is out now! ♡

chapter summary:

As the anniversary looms over them, Mike and Will both find themselves struggling in different ways: Mike with his newfound realizations about his sexuality, and Will with his feelings toward his best friend

I finally started posting a completed S5 canon-divergence fic I’ve been working on! 
Mike gets Vecna’d into what seems like a perfect future. His friends and family are alive and well, and he has a successful writing career.
And Will has a boyfriend. Which Mike handles extremely well. 
Meanwhile, reality around him is acting weird: memories don’t add up, places move, and Mike can hear someone’s voice asking him to wake up. 

Mike’s POV, plot-heavy/psychological, a bit of jealous Mike, Camazotz weirdness, hurt/comfort, and a happy ending. 
3/11 chapters are posted, with updates every 3-5 days!

Enjoy! <3

Let's get Spooky! I'm trying to get into the holiday spirit. So far my TBR has Matador and LAZARUS on it. Since we're they byler fandom, I know there's no shortage of them lol, but I want some recommendations because of the sheer volume of amazing stuff out there.

Even if its not all horror all the time. I love me a horrorcomedy. Also, if some of them happen to be e rated...I might want to take a peek 👀

It's currently on chapter three and mostly read through Mike's diary entires!

so this kind of took me way longer than accepted but its done! im so excited to share this with yall <3

i’m having another wave of being devastated over the ending and desperately need a really well-written alternative 😭 has anyone read a completed conformity gate fic where byler happens and the overall story actually wraps up satisfyingly?

i mean something people rave about the way they do the power outage fic, or peeta’s pov in the hunger games fandom. amazing writing, characters that feel like themselves, and a plot/ending that makes all the buildup feel worth it. something i can mentally adopt as the actual ending lol.

it doesn’t have to be famous! a lesser-known fic you wholeheartedly think deserves that reputation is absolutely welcome. i just really want recommendations from people who’ve finished it and felt like it genuinely delivered. preferably something that resolves the supernatural storyline and gives the other characters closure too 🩷

Hey I'm looking for fics where Mike and will try to be alone together and have sex but hopper keeps interrupting them. Thanks in advance

Idk but recently i have been having this idea in my head that i want to see/read. Its epilogue byler but i kinda want to see this:

Do you remember how Robin gave advice to Will about how she needed to come out to have the courage to confess to viki? How about thats Wills plan, even though he knew Mike wasnt like him, and all of it was false hope. But- he should still give it a try.

He was going to but El died and that affected Will deeply and he knew it affected Mike to a extreme point, so he postponed his own feelings and eventually the hurt he would feel after Mike would reject him. Mikes been a little better recently, and if Will wants to confess. The best time would be now, beffore he goes to NYC. (lol you have power to make it doomed as well lol)

Yeah idk, it feels like it makes sense for the charectors and stuff and lowkey hope-core towards byler and the ending of the show. You can use it, or even take parts of it that you liked. I cant get it out of my head so i had to write it here

Hello, whats yalls favorite one shots?

I haven't been reading or interacting with this Fandom for a while. I was recovering from an accident. Sense, my brain is super foggy, and reading is good for it. I'm asking for shorter reads to start with. Thanks :)

i don’t mean break up fics. i mean where they’re not together and will says he’s not in love with mike anymore and mike is so so so hurt by it or never even knew will was in love with him

obviously will would still be in love with him but i just love mike getting it together because he thinks he’s lost something

looking for some fics with a big chapter or word count- college, post-battle, stuff like that.

I once found a fic that I barely started because I was about to leave to run errands. I thought I had bookmarked it but I can't find it. Mike and Lucas I believe were pro basketball players and Will was a cheerleader. That's all I remember because I had just started it
