@bylerween Day 1: Demo Creatures, Summon

Backstory Below!!

During the apocalypse, Mike and Will had to seek refuge in a barn. Little did both of them know- they were not alone in the farm building. Will begins perceiving a new Demo Creature even he has never seen. The creature has a set of layered teeth, tentacles, and possesses a gaping mouth. Mike is unable to see it.

We wanted to share some extra prompts and headcanons related to our Bylerween themes! We will be posting these here and there as we get closer to our Bylerween event.

These are to help inspire anyone interested in participating in Bylerween (feel free to work off of these ideas!)… or just for anyone in a spooky Byler mood as we're approaching October. 😈🎃🗡️🧛

Day 1: Horror AU

Dexter AU: Mike is a serial killer that kills other serial killers, working for the police department under Hopper. Hopper, however, believes something's off about him, especially since Mike is dating his son Will, who is not only Mike's childhood best friend but also a survivor of a serial killer named the Shadow Monster.

Bones and All AU: Will has a hunger in him that normal food can't satiate. It's hard on his family, knowing that trauma and Lonnie's genetics is the reason for Will's acquired taste. To stop being a burden, Will leaves and hitch hikes with fellow eater Mike Wheeler, while they evade another eater nicknamed Vecna that wants Will's companionship.

True Blood AU: Mike and the rest of the human world know that vampires exist, live among them, and also do business with them in this modern AU. Mike inherits his Nana Wheeler's large Southern Gothic house and encounters the mysterious vampire Will.

Haunting

Will Byers + Strangers by Ethel Cain

@bylerween2023 | Day 1: Ghosts & Hauntings

unfortunately, it's not looking like my fic for bylerween will be done in time to share today, so I'm sharing the graphic that would have gone with it! strangers is one of my favorite songs, it's very haunting and very will coded, and I felt that it fit for the theme lol. the larger fic idea is that will did die in the upside down, and when mike goes to visit the now abandoned byers house, he sees will's ghost. hoping I can finish it by the november 22nd deadline🫡

[foresttoffee]

Mike and Will probably dressed up as ghosts at some point. And they were probably as hell.

[storybook-tiles]

it’s okay king we all fall victim to will’s sad baby animal eyes at some point :/

[taylorswiftshipsbyler]

ok since I don't have anything for day 1 of bylerween, I'm just gonna say my idea. so the idea I had was for the ghosts and hauntings prompt, and it was gonna be with the lyrics of the bridge from arms tonite by mother mother, and it's very similar to @imactuallyreallycool 's entry for today. but the basic idea was kinda that will died in Mike's arms(as the song lyrics would suggest). and then he became a ghost obviously.

Please can I have every dad! Jonathan headcanon you have 🥺 What is he like when the baby gets sick for the first time, takes their first steps, experiences water in the bath for the first time? Experiences snow for the first time? What does he do when the baby gets hurt for the first time? What is he like when they’re a newborn? Does he use baby talk or no? Does he play music? Does the baby make him cry? What would he do if the baby lost their favorite stuffed animal? Does he ever get jealous if the baby reaches for Nancy when he’s holding them? Does Nancy get jealous when the baby reaches for him and does he love it? Is he overprotective of his baby? Does he let anyone hold them or does he hesitate when family members start reaching for his baby? What are family gatherings/holidays like? Does he use his baby as an excuse to avoid social interaction? How lenient of a dad is he? Does he want her crawling around freely or does he nervously carry her around and not want her to explore? I want everything. All the fluff please all of it I had a bad day!!

SAY LESS ANON, WE'RE ABOUT TO TURN YOU DAY AROUND (hopefully)

I think he def knew he wanted kids before Nancy did but he was very patient about it and they have a lot of talks about it (I personally headcanon that they get married november 1990 and don't have their first kid until September/October 1997 because they spend their 20s getting established in their careers)

Then one random sunday they're sitting in the park and she points at some kids and is like "I want one"

I just know that man is SO EXCITED when Nancy tells him she's pregnant and then he checks out every baby book at the library.

I've said it before but I'll say it again, to me Jonathan Byers is a certified girl dad. Tea parties, ballet recitals, fashion shows, barbies my man is down for it all.

Then he does the whole nursery and has Will paint the characters from bambi (the nursery is bambi themed I'll die on that hill)

I don't think he uses baby talk but he does use the SOFTEST voice in the world when talking to her

And I def think that Nancy is like "music is good for the baby" during pregnancy and Jonathan switches it to a mixtape of Talking Heads once Nancy falls asleep

As a consequence, sometimes the only thing that calms the baby down is Remain in Light or Speaking in Tongues (which confuses the fuck out of Nancy) (it's also important to note that Mike is like wtf is wrong with this kid to Will because of this)

I LOVE Jonathan but I think he is like the biggest worry wart of a parent (bc he doesn't want to be a bad one) so when the baby gets sick for the first time he thinks it's somehow his fault. And Nancy has Joyce (and Hopper) call him and reassure him that he's doing great

I don't think either of them get jealous per se but Nancy definitely teases him because their daughter is such a Daddy's girl

That being said when Jonathan catches Nancy & the baby having a moment he gets all choked up and sniffly because he loves them both so much and never thought this would be his life.

Also that man 100% uses the baby as an excuse to not interact with other's he's just like oh she's fussy I better take her and then they disappear for hours on end until Nancy finds him in the rocking chair with the baby fully asleep on his chest.

I think because she's the first grandbaby anytime they're with The Wheelers & the Byers, like at Christmas, she gets passed around all night and Jonathan has to struggle to keep track. Because Nancy is always like where the fuck is my baby when she's out of her sight.

(Nancy is def a mama bear but I didn't tell you that)

He goes above and beyond babyproofing the house when she starts crawling and he's determined to catch her first steps on film so there's just a TON of tapes of baby girl just sitting there

I think Mike def nearly dropped his niece on like day 2 and was not allowed to hold her until she could fully support her head. And even Jonathan limits Mike's baby time.

Her first word is dada and he SOBS

Jonathan's def a "it's all going by too fast" kind of parent and also cries when she starts daycare.

Nancy takes up scrapbooking because Jonathan takes way too many pictures of their kids. And their bookshelves are filled with.

Of course he keeps a picture of Nancy and the baby in his wallet.
