any byler fanfic recs ?

oooo i have a few! i have barely any angst for you i'm sorry. i have a sweet tooth for fanfiction :(

Just This Quiet After You - Oneshot- 2k Words - Will gets vecna'd fic! this was before volume 2 came out, for reference. i liked it a lot! (especially the end ♥️.) it has "birthday-gate" (aka them forgetting Will's birthday is mentioned, this isn't a new theory, so if you rather not read about it that's cool.) the song used was Boys Don't Cry!

Just Like Heaven - Oneshot - 2k Words - Will gives Mike the painting in Hopper's cabin (the original theory about what was going to happen) it's very sweet i love it. Mike is so whipped.

Vale Of Shadows - Multichapter - Ongoing - 42k+ Words - Mike getting vecna'd fic but it's also a rewrite of season 4 (California Squad Edition.) it started before volume 2. Mike's crush on Eddie really sparked The Horrors, it's so funny. I haven't read the new update, i will soon i swear! its 9 chapters so far! i really adore the insight on Mike, it's very interesting he's soo in love and repressed i hate him. TW for homophobia though! First chap really sets the angst scene.

half a heart (without you) - Oneshot - 4k Words - A rewrite of the van love confession scene, DIRECTLY after volume 2 came out. it's sooo toothrotingly sweet, i actually got a cavity reading it. I love the authors writing style :)) WHEN HE SAID "jonathan pull over" i was like OJEIXJWODKQOSKOWJSOAKS

here are some bg byler fics that mention them but i still love:

Fallen City, Living Death - Multichapter 4/18 - Steddie-Centric - 19k Words - It's about Eddie being alive in the upside down (not Kas!theory, it's complicated basically he keeps dying and reviving.) It's a switching POV, and it's sort of gross at times but Steve's mental health is talked about! There's one chapter, chapter 3 where Steve talks with Will, it's the best thing ever I swear. when he said "thank you... for understanding" i started sobbing shut up. Little too much Mike slander but just skim over it 🙄

little league - Oneshot - 4k Words - Elmax-centric - Max is on the softball team and El/Jane, goes to every game and Max asks if she's going to tryouts to join the team and El, knowing nothing about softball says yes. Queer teens being dumb is my favorite thing <3 Robin and Steve are The Duo. Willel siblings, lesbian El, what else could you want????
