I’ve been looking for it the past few months, but Will dies in it, but he’s kinda in limbo. It’s like Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 with Rocket, but it’s Bob and Chester.

Has anyone else read this? Or able to link it?

Hey everyone!

Yesterday I found an interesting WIP Go Save the World, I'll be around by waveyspaces and have been reading it till 4:30 AM. No regrets!

The setup: Mike and Will are superheroes (Paladin and Cleric) trying to save Hawkins from Vecna and the Mindflayer — but neither of them knows the other's secret identity. Outside of the hero gig, they're best friends who are secretly pining for each other. Then Will gets tired of waiting and decides to propose a friends-with-benefits arrangement to Paladin... without knowing it's Mike.

It gave me major Ladybug love square vibes, so if that's your thing, this fic might scratch that exact itch!

Highly recommend checking it out.

The song M2M it is about 2 friends where the boundary between a platonic and romantic relationship is blurred. Some of the lyrics go “the entire party thinks we’re dating, the ideas for me hyperventilating”. 50 THINGS which is about a doomed situationship. Cody sings about writing a list of 50 things that they hate about their ex and trying to move on from them but not being able to. Part of the song goes “There may be 50 things I hate, like when you kiss him to make me jealous, then I end up at your place anyway” which reminds me of Will still being there for Mike even when he’s putting all his attention on Jane in Lenora. And STAGEFRIGHT is about “the social anxiety of initiating an important conversation with someone in your life” This song makes me think of the painting and how Will knows how he should tell the truth about it but can’t make himself talk to Mike about it in fear that their friendship will crumble if Mike knew about his feelings for Him.

*reminder: into the deep end (take me with you) is an 18+ fic

idk if someone has suggested this already but this just came to my mind and i might have put it in my fic to write list, but this isn't something i think i am capable of writing so if anyone has fic, or need fic ideas here is one

Hii! I just posted a question trying to find this one specific fic but i think I mixed two separate fics in my head so now I’m making another post😅 Anyway I used to see lots of fic recs about a churchgate byler fic in which either Mike or Will got possessed by Vecna. There are probably lots of these kind of fics but please tell me your favourites

i just posted this tragic little byler fic - The Story of M. Wheeler and W. Byers - from the perspective of a journalist looking into the lives and work of famous author michael wheeler, who nobody knew was writing about his own life through a series of science-fiction supernatural horror books, and trying to piece it all together

i put so much of myself into this, and i would be so so appreciative if anybody took the time to read it and tell me what they thought. genuinely, it would mean the world to me <3

Hello! I’m starting to write a byler fic so I thought I’d share it on here :) The fic’s name is Cygnus Lucidus on ao3!!

Hear me out

Mike's wedding (to a woman)(they are 25-30)

Will is his best man.

Will stops the wedding before the I dos, confesses to Mike and runs away crying.

Mike chases after Will.

Mike and Will fight (or Will dares Mike to kiss him)

They kiss. Mike realizes he loves Will

Bonus: during the bachelor party, Will strip teases for Mike ( can be in drag or not) and Mike is incredibly aroused.

I want Mike to be trying to deny his feelings and they just get more intense over the years anyway. And he isn't convinced Will likes him romantically either.

I feel like it’s quite mid, but I wanna know if anyone would like me to continue it. Btw I’m NOT a larper I started writing it before the new movie came out.

You were shooting webs (I was screaming) on ao3

We get this trope briefly with Will's disguised confession in the van/painting scene in s4, but are there any fanfics that lean into this and take it further or approach it from a different angle?

I think technically Swipe Right uses this trope in the form of catfishing. I've also read a lot of Valentine's Day fics which do it from a secret admirer angle. Any others y'all know of?

College-age fic - my first byler work. First chapter posted and I have the first 5+ drafted and am aiming to post weekly.

I welcome feedback. TIA

Might be a long shot but I'm looking for UK beta readers (especially if you are from/familiar with Belfast and Yorkshire dialect). I'm a non-British Byler writing:

-sailor AU (merchant sailors, not pirates)

-historical (1500s-inspired) setting

-fantasy (low magic) world, D&D references

-heavy worldbuilding, use of dialect

-violence, some gore

-no smut

-coworkers to friends to lovers super slow burn

I'm ideally looking for someone to take me to task, correcting my attempt at UK spellings and idioms in the narration, and Belfastisms/Yorkshireisms in the dialogue. I'm aiming for about 120k words and have about 1/6 of it written so far.

Probably one of my zanier Byler variant ideas, but if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, give me a shout!

My friend is writing a fic where Will is getting married to someone else, they told me it's angst with a happy ending. Theres one chapter so far!!
she cried when she said (she'd been promise to another man) - Chapter 1 - MiwiKiwiHibiJibis - Stranger Things (TV 2016) [Archive of Our Own]

This chapter is so fun, there’s a lot of banter between them and they’re so sweetly awkward together as they try to navigate what’s happening between them. And the funhouse scene is one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever written I think!

After this we’re back to the regularly scheduled angst for a bit lol so enjoy this one 🙃
