Byler Masterpost: Links to All My Fanfics, Comics & Artwork
Quick intro: Byler broke my heart, and now I'm trying to fix it with more Byler. Not sure that's how you're supposed to heal from Byler heartbreak, but S5 unfortunately didn't come with grief-processing instructions. Not very good ones, anyway. "fINd a WAy tO aCcEPT wHaT hApPENeD" my ass. No. I'm not accepting your bullshit finale, I'm fixing it with headcanons. This is what we're doing here. Welcome to my blog.
(And I may or may not be working on one or two original stories that may or may not be inspired by Byler, but will 100% have better queer representation.)

Artwork for Charisma Check
Posting as Rogue_Mercury on ao3!
I'm generally using #Name of Fanfic Update (e.g. #Charisma Check Update) for update posts and #Name of Fanfic Spoiler or #Name of Fanfic Teaser for sneak peeks (in case someone want to block certain tags for spoiler reasons).
Charisma Check (DnD is just an excuse to flirt without consequences), Chapters 4/?, Fanart posted for each chapter!
In one of their campaigns in Summer of 1989, Mike includes a returning, gay NPC who is interested in Will. Will is a little apprehensive and confused at first, but Lucas, Dustin, and Max are very much intrigued.
Post-Canon, party banter, SO MUCH nerdy flirting, Byler slowly becoming more comfortable and daring with their flirting with each session and a comfy stormy summer vibe.
This prompt won my 'what fanfic should I write next' poll and this fic is now my current hyperfixation.
Fanart for Charisma Check: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4 (Will cages Mike against the bathroom door), Chapter 4 (Mike coaxes Will into his bed), Chapter 5
Here We Stand, Chapters 10/10
Basically Mike and Will get Murray’d and deal with the consequences (the consequences are 9 of the 10 chapters lol).
I wrote this before S5 came out, so this is now a fix-it fanfic with more apocalyptic vibes and just overall better than what we got I promise you (not that that is hard to do)...
Including byler sharing a mattress in a little storage room in the radio station, angst and fluff, Will coming out to Mike on his own terms, Mike getting Vecna'd, flashbacks to miwi meeting on the swings, Castle Byers in the UD, "Crazy together" (because why the fumble did we get You die I die but not that??) etc etc you get the picture...
And We Kissed As Though Nothing Could Fall, Chapters 6/6 - technically completed (but I'm gonna add another chapter and an epilogue at some point)
A churchgate, canon-divergence, Post-Vol1 fic.
Started this after Volume 1 with so much hope you guys... Also now basically a fix-it/ Vol2&3 rewrite that picks up where the show fell off. Including Mike's POV (also Will's), Mike being jealous of Robin, Mike and Joyce heart-to-heart, Mike worrying over Will, Will dealing with his powers and his newfound confidence, Mike overwhelmed (in the best way) by said newfound confidence, flirty but shy Byler, nerdy flirting which means byler flirting through Star Wars, DnD and LOTR references, churchgate, and just generally ALL the Byler scenes I wanted to see happen in Vol 2 and 3.
For future projects check my fanfic poll (I'll try to go by the order in which they won, might also do another poll later down the line) Short list, working titles: Will's first kiss, Conformitygate (Mike wake up!), Cleradin Isekai, Conformitygate (all are stuck)

Ok, so first of all here's a little collage of some of my Byler fanart for vibe reasons. I'm generally trying to tag any art posts with #my art (it's pretty much all Byler anyway).

Max teaching El skateboard, Happy Birthday El (for her birthday obv)
Tagging any headcanons as #byler headcanon and #miwi headcanon and any rant posts as #rogue talks
I'm currently working on two original projects that are sorta kinda related to Byler in the sense that that terrible finale motivated my revenge arc and made me get to work on some fantasy/sci-fi books where the main couple just happens to be queer for some actual queer rep stories. Also the main characters might share some similarities with Byler - sue me (actually pls don't I'm on a mission).
Might add more info over time (writing books is a slow process, go figure) but for now I'm gonna give them both a working title and describe the vibe:
PROJECT GAIA - the vibe is space Byler (I have a Master's in astrophysics so obv I'm gonna use it to write a space Byler novel), both are scientists on a small team set to become the first humans to land on the first known planet beyond Earth to harbor life.
PROJECT RED FATE - the vibe here is a Cleradin x Heavens Official Blessing crossover, fantasy setting with spirits, mystery, and a religion around Fate which communicates a person's fate through certain marks on their skin.
Any posts on these I'll tag with #Project Gaia or #Project Red Fate
If there's any of these projects (a specific fanfic, a comic, comics in general, original projects...) that you don't want to miss, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll tag you on updates!!
