reading the books after watching Lockwood and co is wild because every few pages I see something and my brain just. stops.

day two of byler fic rec week: S5 speculation
(ignore that I skipped day one shh)
by @andiwriteordie : it's the beginning of the end of the world and Mike is having an... interesting week to say the least
i read this one just a few days ago and I'm still thinking about it, it just feels extremely on point to how the future in post apocalyptic Hawkins could be explored in S5 (plus I'm a sucker for Mike centric fics)
by @bookinit02 : Senior year in Hawkins. Mike and Will figure some things out.
I just. I love this fic so much and keep coming back to it every three weeks or something. it's beautifully written and I don't know if it really fits as a s5 prediction but that's how I felt it? and anyway this is just really good and needed to be included here. please go read it if you haven't already because it's really just wonderful.
BYLER FIC REC WEEK 2023
Calling all Bylers! There are so many talented and amazing creators in our community, and it’s time to show them some love! There are quite a few fics and authors that are very beloved by this fandom, and while they absolutely deserve all the hype they get, there are so many other amazing fics and authors out there waiting to be discovered! We want to help you shine the spotlight on your underrated faves and share the love.
How it works:
Byler Fic Rec Week will last from Friday, 3rd of March to Thursday, 9th of March. Each day will be themed around a different genre of Byler fanfic for you to rec your personal favourites of. Don’t be shy, share as many fics as you want that fit the day’s theme— the more the better! We’ll be reblogging all the recs that get shared to this account as an archive of hidden gems, and using the tag #BylerFicRecWeek2023. The specific genres for each day will be revealed on Tuesday, 21st of February.
All you need to do to rec a fic is to share its title, the name of the author, and a link to it (You can embed hyperlinks to the fic and the author’s AO3 profile by highlighting the text, choosing the infinity symbol, and pasting in the URL). If you want to you can also add the AO3 summary, your own description, how it makes you feel, or anything about the fic that you think will make people interested in reading it. If the author has a Tumblr and you know the @ you can also tag them, so they know you like their fic enough to recommend!
You can share your rec lists by:
- Posting them to your own blog. Make sure to tag #Byler so more people have a chance to discover your recs! Also use the tag #BylerFicRecWeek2023 so we can definitely find your lists to reblog!
- Submitting them to this blog. Don’t feel comfortable making posting a list to your own blog for whatever reason? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Submit a list to us and we can post it for you. Note that posts you submit will include your username.
- Sending them in as asks. If you’d prefer to use asks over submissions or you want to remain completely anonymous, feel free to send your recs in to us as asks! You can’t embed hyperlinks into asks, so please include the full URLs of any fics you share like this.
Other ways to get involved:
If you feel extra motivated, you can show your appreciation for your favourite fics with fanart, edits, gifsets, moodboards— however you like! If you tag fancontent for a fic you’re reccing with #BylerFicRecWeek2023 we’ll be sure to reblog it! Make sure to tag the fic’s author when you share your creation, because they’ll definitely want to see it.
Rules/FAQ:
NO NSFW. This blog will not post or reblog any submissions, asks, or posts made with the #BylerFicRecWeek2023 tag that contain NSFW fanfics. if you post a list containing multiple recs and only one of them is NSFW, we will still not share it.
Byler should be the MAIN pairing of any fics you rec for this event. Any side pairings are fine, but the fic needs to be centered on Byler.
There is no hard limit on how popular fanfics you rec for the event can be, but the main purpose of this event is to bring attention to smaller works and their creators. If you can, try to share recs for fics you haven’t seen talked about or that you feel deserve more attention than they get. Well-known writers and their stories are fantastic, but we want to help uplift other authors too.
Fics don’t need to be completed for you to rec them! There are a lot of great ongoing stories that deserve to have more people on the hype train for new updates. That being said, please don’t rec fics that have been confirmed to be abandoned, or that haven’t been updated since 2020. Anything that’s received an update since then is fine to rec, as fics can come off hiatus at unexpected times.
Don’t worry if you don’t have fics to rec for each genre; you don’t need to participate in every day to get involved.

(so like idk if soon means June soon or if it's earlier BUT STILL I didn't realise it was coming that fast)
there is literal fog outside and I'm in the car listening to iris by the goo goo dolls the force of gravity brainrot is real
nah bro at this point I really need to see the detail of the blogs in the byler tag how tf did we grow 6k today and like almost 30k or something in a week when the tag seemed frozen for so long😭
here I am offering you my first participation in wip Wednesday because I figured that would be the only way to motivate me to start working on those byler wips instead of just procrastinating writing them
featuring he/they mike wheeler, byler in the Upside Down and percabeth parallels iykyk
a question for all bylers! :-)
if you remember, when did you first follow the byler tag?
holy shit I just got the most vivid image in my head of mike getting vecna'd and trying to escape kind of like Max did, with smalltown boy playing in the background and it just felt so good the realization hit me like a truck I *need* smalltown boy and vecna'd mike in season 5 gkfjfjd
quick heads up guys I changed my username
went from demiwheeler to baysaurus (bay stands for blue & yellow btw, iykyk)
and to think when I downloaded Tumblr it was because I wanted to sometime in the future share thoughts about the silly little book I'm writing about silly little queer pirates and now I've done a full 180° and I'm just posting and reading stuff about the silly little queer people from the 80s in this popular monster TV show
oh how far I've come

Apparently The Duffers took inspiration from Tangled for ST4. I can only think of the boat scene, if they thought about Mike and Will in it, and how the lyrics from Eugene’s pov fits so well with how Mike sees Will in the van scene 🥹
“All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now he's here shining in the starlight
Now he's here suddenly I know
If he's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything is different
Now that I see you”
Rapunzel ready to give flynn the crown being like "I have something to give you/I could have given it to you earlier/but truth is I was scared, and I'm not scared anymore" (at least I think she says something along those lines correct me if I'm wrong-)
THIS IS LITERALLY WILL GIVING THE PAINTING TO MIKE. LITERALLY. except done in a more subtle way. that's literally them.
