I feel like I'm intruding a little bit
Mike's sweetie-pie
Happy Pride Month!!
Something about Mike and Will almost kissing multiple times but never quite being ready when they first start dating… hmmm…
mike saying bye to will twice in the s1 finale is one of my favorite cornplating details in the show like that’s such middle school crush behavior fr
looking at lesbyler fanart and suddenly realizing that i’m a short brunette with bangs and hazel eyes and my bsf is tall and pale with black wavy hair and freckles… oh is this fucking play about us
first byler thought of the day was how mike was able to save will multiple times (both directly and indirectly) at the same time he was unable to save el multiple times (he built the bomb that killed her) lmaoooooo how are y'all doing
s5 rewrite/post canon fics
the end is here author: bookinit @bookinit02 | (T&U) word count: 121,032 | chapters: 19/19
“We have to kill him,” Mike finishes fiercely, and for a second, Will pictures him in full paladin gear, making the same speech in a castle, or a magical forest, or a dark dungeon. He’s every bit the boy Will’s always known, the one who stands up for his friends and his principles and never, ever backs down. Even when the odds are against them. Even when they’re impossible.
Will swears that he can feel electricity crackling in the air, Mike’s last sentence settling on the group like a physical weight. Everyone looks impressed: Jonathan, Hopper, even Owens. Will knows the look on his own face must be incredibly obvious, incredibly stupid.
He doesn’t care. That’s the Mike he knows. That’s the Party’s leader.
That’s the boy Will fell in love with.

Stranger Things re-telling, but make it byler. (Season 5 of 5)
the night is long but you are here author: IrisCandy @queeleronwheels | (T&U) word count: 87,597 | chapters: 26/26
“I want you to tell him why you're so upset," Vecna says, and Will swears he sees the curl of a smile in the webbed scars of his face. “I want to watch you lose him.”
(Or, Will is forced by Vecna to confess his feelings to Mike, with a slow burn aftermath. Alternate Season 5.)
The Concept Of Normalcy author: Eternalistic (Telemnara) | (E) word count: 149,786 | chapters: 31/31
Mike Wheeler spends years trying to be “normal.” Normal son, normal friend, normal boyfriend, normal boy.
But growing up with Will Byers — through disappearances, monsters, trauma, high school, and finally college — makes “normal” feel less and less like something he actually wants.
This is the long, messy, painfully slow journey of Mike figuring himself out, losing himself, finding himself again, and realizing that the only thing that ever made sense — the only thing that ever felt right — was Will.
a circle of eternity(the cycle of fate) author: GloriousSarcasm @gloriouslygone | (M) word count: 129,072 | chapters: 13/13
He recoils in shock and terror when he sees its limbs – twisted and wrong. Its skin is torn open in places and hanging down, he can see the whiteness of bone beneath the torn flesh. A thick spurt of blood wells to the surface and splatters onto the floor between him and the sink.
The creature snarls and Mike screams.
It drops to the ground, twisting in mid-air to land on all fours. Its head is twisted in the wrong angle, its spine is sticking out from its back. More blood falls as the flesh is jostled. A thick, rotting smell fills the air.
Mike keeps screaming.
The handle jangles again, harsher this time. Will’s voice filters through, he sounds panicked. Mike can’t make out the words over the sounds of his own screams.
The creature titters, skittering forward, and Mike stumbles back. He hits the door with a loud thud. He’s still screaming.
answers you seek will never be found at home author: miwiheros @miwiheroes | (T&U) word count: 196,702 | chapters: 20/20
Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again. Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.
aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.
let me steal this moment from you author: smoosnoom @smoosnoom | (T&U) word count: 13,785 | chapters: 1/1
Mike moves in his bed, and Will's eyes stay firmly on the ceiling. "I feel like we barely know each other anymore." And Will can't argue with that, so he replies, "What do you want to know?" There’s a long lapse of silence, and then – “Can you come up here?”
In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.

Take on Me
Wanted to share a quick WIP of Paladin Mike stepping out of Will's painting because I'm still on the Bravebyers bus...
It's messy and all but I love this concept
Snipet of a conversation between Mike and Karen from my fic. Because writing it made me cry. (After three years of no contact, she tells him she knows why he left)

The Party at NYC Pride 92! 🌈☀️
Happy Pride Month Byler nation! 💙💛
I know we didn’t get the ending we deserved but let’s celebrate queer love and joy anyway!
Plus, the show is over, we can decide for ourselves what Will and Mike get up to in the 90’s…
Also, do I think all those characters are all queer? Well, maybe, I don’t know… But some are and I’m sure they would support each other and go to Pride all together!
(The poses for the Party’s photo is copied from a photo of the Heartstopper cast at Pride 🙂↕️)
i love seeing people with 🌀🔆 these emojis or some variation in their users especially in random tiktok comment sections it really does feel like a little hivemind army like oh that’s a comrade
happy pride month to will byers and mike wheeler who are living in mamdani's new york and have gotten approached by meetcutes NYC and have gone to all the protests and broadway shows and drag cafes and are just living their best life after years of figuring stuff out.
since matador just finished here’s your reminder that if you haven’t read matador… read matador omg
Miwi doing that thing were you get on one knee so the other can use your thigh to rest there foot on and you do their shoelaces for them.
It’s mainly mike doing it for Will because he thinks it’s knightly.
okay but now I'm thinking of how maybe will had a little trouble learning how to tie his shoes—was maybe a little too old to not know how anymore—so maybe it started because mike knew will was too embarrassed to ask an adult for help, so he knelt down like a knight in shining armor, and said, "allow me" in his adorable little kid voice.
and maybe this kept going for a while. and maybe it gave mike butterflies he couldn't explain. and maybe he didn't really mind that will still had trouble tying his shoelaces, even though they were already second graders and were Big Kids now.
and then, one day mike gets sick for a few days, and he's sitting at home, worried sick because "if I'm not there, who's going to tie will's shoes?! he could fall!" and when he comes back will has a new friend. and that makes mike feel weird. will and him have never needed any other friends. but he guesses lucas sinclair is okay. he likes comic books and that means he's not so bad.
but then. will's shoelace gets untied. and mike watches as if in slow motion, how lucas sinclair kneels down so will can place his shoe on his knee. and he watches as lucas sinclair does a double knot, even though will hates double knots! and he watches as will thanks lucas with a hug. and mike doesn't know it at the time, but that's the first time he experiences jealousy—but it won't be the last
