Into the Stranger-Verse (2025 version) (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/story/405417039-into-the-stranger-verse-2025-version?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_myworks&wp_uname=noonlinefriendzz 

Hi Tumblr! I am writing a Spider-Man AU Stranger Things fic. It’s on Wattpad right now, but I plan to post on AO3 too once I can make an account on there. 

The fic is a loose retelling of the Spider-Verse movies and is centered around the core six kids! It’s byler-heavy but also has lumax and some henderhop. 

CW: character death, grief, and homophobia

Description: Will Byers is still dealing with the fallout of being bitten by a radioactive spider. The responsibility of having powers weighs heavy on him and causes tension between himself and his mutant stepsister, Eleven Hopper. Just when he thinks he's figuring things out, the multiverse opens up, and he and El are confronted with four other spider-people who need their help getting home. Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, Max Mayfield, and Mike Wheeler are all the spider-heroes of their respective universes, and it has not been easy on any of them. When the work of evil scientists threatens to rupture the space time continuum and destroy everything, these lonely heroes will become a party and learn the true power of love and friendship.

Hiii i was cornplating Stranger Things 5 Vol. 1 and i wanted to post on the Byler tag bc i noticed something. i don’t really know how to use tumblr, but i wanted to share because i hadn’t seen anyone mention this yet.

NEW COKE VS CLASSIC COKE

I noticed that Will drinks classic coca cola at lunch in the first ep. (i can’t provide clips rn but hopefully you remember the scenes i mention). He also drinks it the hospital and drops it after seeming Robin and Vicky. This reminded me of Mike and Lucas’s argument in season 3 about new coke. Mike says new coke is disgusting while Lucas argues that it’s refreshing and “Bigger. Bolder. Better.” (or something like that). Mike fully disagrees and says he likes classic coke.

Soooo im wondering if Will drinking classic coke means anything. I think it could mean a few things:

1. The scenes were only included to be product placement and a joke about new coke (half true)

OR

2. Symbolically,

Mike likes classic coke,

and Will = classic coke,

therefore, Mike likes Will 💙💛 (possible??)

OR

3. Symbolically,

Will before the power reveal = classic coke

and Will after the power reveal = new coke. Bigger. Bolder. Better. 💛 (also possible??)

either way i think it’s cute that Will and Mike like the same things :D

if any byler theorists have any in depth posts about this please link it🫶
