any semblance of touch (8.8k, mature)

“Nothing,” Will says, right into Mike’s ear. “Still feeling good?” So good. Mike makes sure to not say it aloud this time. “I think,” Mike says slowly, heart pounding, “I need” — Will pulls back just a little, just enough for their noses to bump against each other, clumsy, and Mike bites the bullet — “one more.” Will is still in Mike’s lap, which is maybe not very platonic of him, and the joint has smoldered its way down to the end, nearly over, all eaten up by the fire. Will swallows thickly, then leans closer, a perfect imitation of their positions from earlier. Mike isn’t sure how long it’s been, but fire has been eating away at him too, this whole time, leaving him on the brink of going up in smoke, slow and burning and so good. “Yeah?” Will murmurs, realization dawning on him, eyes wide. “One more?”

or: Mike’s still new to this whole smoking thing. Will has a few ideas.

used to call you my best friend (before you were my everything)

He doesn’t mean it like that – in a romantic way. It’s just what he feels – that Will is his superhero, brave and smart and always there for Mike – and he was thinking about superheroes anyway, what with that Spider-guy from YouTube, and Mike is groaning and letting his head thump against his desk because he is really, truly head over heels in love with Will.

He’s learned to control it a bit better, tamp it down into something manageable, because Will’s his best friend and also the best person he knows, and he deserves better than Mike stumbling over himself every time Will flashes him a smile with those bunny teeth or puts his cold feet under Mike’s thighs on the couch.

Plus, Will has a boyfriend. That’s definitely – a deterrent, to put it kindly.

will has been sneaking around more and more, and mike's convinced that he has a secret boyfriend. the appearance of a local web-slinger is probably unrelated.

Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that

Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated

Welcome to BYLERMICROFIC

This is a monthly writing challenge centered around Byler, the romantic ship between Will Byers and Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things.

Each month, we will deliver a prompt and a word limit between 300 and 600. To participate, you must write a microfic that hits the exact word count and fits the one word prompt.

For example, if the months prompt is 'Beginnings - 411 words', you must write a fic that is 411 words exactly that fits the theme of 'beginnings'. Word prompts are open to interpretation, as long as its an understandable connection.

All fics must be about Byler. Other ships can be featured in the background but cannot be the main focus of the microfic. Fics that are specific Byler variants are okay.

To successfully submit your microfic to be shared on this blog each month, you must tag us AND use the hashtag #bylermicrofic.

To submit your fic to our AO3 collection, please visit this months link: June 2026 Collection.

If you have any questions, feel free to send it in through our askbox. We're happy to help.

Happy writing, Bylerinas!

happy pride month!! happy pride to bisexual women who prefer women and bisexual women with girlfriends and bisexual women who are married to other women and to every single bi woman who spent time questioning whether she was a lesbian or bisexual because her love for women was always clear and sure even if the rest of it was hazy and confusing. happy pride to all the bi women who yearn for a life with another woman...you are all so so lovely and so beautiful and you have a place in this world even if you may not always feel like it. i know that there aren't very many of us but being bisexual doesn't mean you have to end up with a man even if that's all the world ever expects of us and leaning so strongly towards women doesn’t mean that we're any less bisexual than anyone else. preferring and prioritizing women as a bisexual woman is normal and wonderful and i hope each and every woman who relates to this post finds the woman of her dreams and lives out a long and happy life full of love with her. there was a point in time where i used to dread pride month because i was so confused and unsure about my label and i didn’t feel like i belonged within the bisexual community but as i’ve grown to accept myself and my sexuality i’ve gotten to the point where i fucking love pride and i love being bisexual and i hope that every single person who feels confused or unsure about themselves learns to accept and love themselves because i feel so free and so happy about my identity now and i want every single bi girl in the world to feel the same way. happy pride, i love you all so much 🩷💜💙
