Happy (late) Byler Day!

Since my first piece of fan art I ever posted for ST was my Jancy/Byler Titanic AU, why not make some fan art for another Byler Titanic AU?

I decided to do some sketchs of @cherbearsz Titanic AU designs because I think they are really cool. I did come up with my own idea for Mike’s evening wear based on the red dress Rose wears when she has dinner with Jack and also because I’m a fashion history nerd and had the internal urge to put him in an evening tux (pretend the bow tie and waist coat is red and not blue).

Again, Happy late Byler Day!

#the doodle of Mike in the far right corner is in the suit designed by @cherbearsz btw just in case anybody was confused #I might come back to these sketchs and make all nice and pretty with line art and colour once my ‘everything I lineart looks bad’ passes #you will probably see more sketchs be posted to my blog because I am a very awkward teen who feels shy about her work #when in the previously mentioned phase of ‘my lineart looks bad so let’s leave it as a sketch’ #I’m going to go to bed now since it is very late where I live #stranger things #byler #bylerday2023 #byler titanic au #will byers #mike wheeler #because I am a very tired and awkward teenager I’m going to make a tag for my sketch’s -> #sketch saturday

Never Let Go by @thornywords

Mike boards the ship of dreams, the Titanic, shackled to his fiancé by an arranged marriage. Upon arrival, he's expected to marry her, and so short on time, Mike jumps to drastic measures to escape this reality; but in running from his problems, Mike instead finds love in an aspiring artist who saves him in every way a person can be saved.

Or Titanic AU, but make it byler

Happy Holidays, Michael Wheeler has the self preservation of a lemming in Any universe! (or: cleradin where Mike gets injured and Will heals him)

Wrathful Wishing Star and Poisoned Apple Tree by DaineYui

At the age of 12, Mike’s name was picked from a clear crystal globe amongst hundreds of other names, and he became a tribute. He should have died a tribute but instead he became District 7’s second and the 26th Hunger Game’s Victor – the youngest to ever have won the Hunger Games. Now, nearly 5 years later, a mentor to present and future tributes, Mike is faced with the even more un-welcomed task of Will Byer’s name being picked as a tribute. How can he successfully protect Will from a game where there is no true winner beyond the Capitol citizens? 

Hide From The World (In Your Arms, Preferably) by bangingbiddies

"Alright, Doctor Wheeler. You're up." "What?" Mike replied. His gaze bounced between Will's wound, his eyes and his lips.  "I can't do the next part, my hands are too shaky. You'll have to stitch it up."  Mike felt like throwing up. He looked down at the needle and suture sitting in the kit. It's like they were staring at him, mocking him. "I-"  "Please, Mike."  "I don't want to hurt you, Will."  Will thought that was quite generous of him, considering how much Will had hurt Mike within the last 20 or so minutes. Within the last year and a half, actually.  Will was sure he was looking at an angel, not Mike Wheeler. Or maybe Mike Wheeler was the angel he was looking at. Who would've thought that Mike also had a secret identity this whole time? An angel in disguise. 

Logline: While on the brink of death, Will decides to pay Mike a late-night visit after not seeing him for a year and a half. Logline 2: Mike finds out in the craziest way possible that his best friend (who he hasn't seen in over a year) was actually a rooftop-swinging, tight suit-wearing, complete idiot of a superhero and it all starts with waking up to Spiderman bleeding out in his living room.

Myne Owne by disaster_energy

Prince Will overhears his parents discuss arranged marriage. His freshly knighted best friend comes to the rescue.

there's someone screaming in an auditorium by @strangersynth

“Fair enough” Mike tries, waiting two beats, before he says; “We’re a bunch of crazed freaks though,” and Will turns his head back to him, Mike offers him a comforting smile when their eyes meet. “I mean, you can always count on us to feel out of it with” Will sniggers at Mike’s words and looks out the window, down to the street's concrete.

“I’ll keep that in mind” he mutters.

“Good” Mike whispers back, pensive. He watches Will breathe in, shoulders shrugging up, and breathe out, blinking slowly. The golden night lights make for a warm reflection against the window Will's side is pressed up against, illuminated. Mike's eyes trail out the window, carefully wondering what to say. If anything at all.

“So, Princess Mononoke?” he asks, after a few minutes. Will’s face brightens.

In college, a group of 18 year old freaks find a way to love themselves for it // Mike's been clutching onto the pages of a self-made screenplay he thinks everyday of showing to Mr Albertine, his drama teacher. One day, he does. 48 hours later, Mr Albertine has an offer to make.

#I have been waiting for this day hehe #can I just say that with starting the titanic au I set myself up for heartbreak but I don't regret it bc it's so good!!! #and the hunger games au has me on the edge of my seat after every chapter it's amazing #AUs are the best and I stand by that. you can literally do anything and that's the best thing about fanfic in the first place imo #but since you can do anything with these you should as usual first check the tags before you read anything! #but yeah I love these so much go read them #bylerficrecweek2023 #byler #stranger things #fic rec

[bookofwambs]

titanic au for byler would be so beautiful like will, the poor artist, winning tickets for the titanic and mike, who comes from a wealthy family, celebrating his engagement with el with his family on the titanic and mike has extreme internalized homophobia which leads him to wanting to jump overboard just like rose but ofc will saves him.

etc etc etc will draws mike etc etc etc they fall in love and mike refuses to go onto the rich people safety boat when the titanic is sinking so he could be with will <3

however, in this version, both mike and will survive and el is super supportive of their relationship bc she’s also unhappy and doesn’t want to be engaged to mike omg <3

hey remember when i wrote a byler percy jackson au and said i had other little snippets i’d share eventually?

no? well, here are the links:

Part One - I Dream About My Best Friend

Part Two - I Have An Audience With the God of Love 

anyways, here’s the last one that’s been chilling on my google docs! who knows. i may go back and write some more (because literally there are so many percabeth scenes that i would love to write as byler) whenever i feel like it! or maybe i’ll just word vomit all my headcanons onto a google doc and share that with you if i get bored lol

this is based of the final scene of the titan’s curse, in case you were wondering :) 

___

The Gods Throw Us a Party

Mike feels like he’s been punched in the gut.

I do not approve of your friendship with my son, Athena had said, amongst a lot of other things that Mike can’t even begin to wrap his brain around. I do not think it is wise for either of you.

“Hey.” Will nudges him, and Mike flinches slightly, glancing over at his best friend. There’s a small, somewhat shy smile on his face. “You sure you’re okay?” 

Not really.

“Y-yeah, of course,” Mike says, forcing a smile. Will just raises a disbelieving eyebrow, and Mike rolls his eyes, nudging his best friend lightly. “I’m fine. Just… got a lot on my mind, I guess.”

“Surprising,” Will says dryly. “And here I thought all you had in your brain was seaweed.” 

“Asshole.” Mike nudges him sharply in the ribs, and Will just laughs, throwing his head back and smiling brightly. It’s enough to make Mike’s stomach do a little somersault, which is… definitely weird. “I don’t know how I even missed you.”

There’s a sparkle in Will’s eyes as he turns to Mike and just smiles. “You missed me?” he asks, voice soft.

A familiar sort of warmth fills Mike’s chest, and his stomach does that silly little somersault thing again. “Yeah,” he says softly, and he offers Will a small, shy smile. “‘Course I did.”

Mike doesn’t, of course, mention the fact that he was worried sick about Will—that the entire time Will was gone, he couldn’t stop thinking about him and couldn’t stop wondering if Will was okay and couldn’t stop trying to figure out ways to find Will. But then again, Mike gets the feeling that he doesn’t really need to say those things… After all, it’s Will.

And just like how Mike knows that he would do absolutely anything in the world to make sure that Will is okay and safe, he knows that Will would do the same for him.

I do not approve of your friendship with my son. I do not think it is wise for either of you. Athena’s words echo through Mike’s mind once more, and he forces himself not to think about them. If caring too much about his friends—about Will—is supposed to be a flaw, then… well, then, Mike doesn’t really give a damn. There are only so many things that he’s willing to give up in the world in the name of this stupid saving the world and being the child of the prophecy bullshit, and look… his friends and Will in particular aren’t one of them. 

Will just smiles back at him, his cheeks slightly red, and he bumps Mike’s shoulder gently. “Thanks for coming and finding me,” he whispers, as if there’s any world where Mike wouldn’t have searched for Will until he was found. As if there’s any world out there where Mike wouldn’t do everything humanly possible to make sure that Will is safe and home where he belongs with…

…with Mike.

I do not approve of your friendship with my son. 

There’s like a hundred different things that Mike wants to say to Will—things that he’s been wanting to say for… for a while now and things that he can’t even fully wrap his mind around. But Athena’s words just keep playing like a broken record on loop in Mike’s mind, and he feels like all of the courage has been sapped out of him.

There are so many different things he knows he should say to Will, and maybe… maybe someday, he will. 

“Of course,” Mike responds, and he leans in close to Will, smiling slightly. “I know you’d do the same before me.”

The look on Will’s face softens, and he nods, just standing there close to Mike. The room is still loud and full of energy, but somewhere above the noise, Mike hears the song change once again, going from some upbeat pop song that Dustin would probably like to one that’s a bit softer and slower.

“Hey,” Mike blurts out, before he can lose any more of his courage.

Will blinks, and his brow furrows. “Yeah?”

“I, um… I think I owe you a dance,” Mike says quickly. Heat rises to his cheeks, and fuck, okay, okay, he can do this. It’s just a dance, and it’s just Will. It’s just Will.

(For some reason, Mike has a little flashback to his conversation with Aphrodite, from just a couple days ago, and um… yeah. Yeah, there’s that.)

“It’s just, um… we got cut off at Westover Hall,” Mike adds, stammering over his words. “Before everything happened, you know? So, I… I just thought that maybe we could… I don’t know… um, I guess—”

“Mike,” Will laughs, and Mike stops, closing his mouth and mentally berating himself for how stupid he sounds. Still, there’s a twinkle in Will’s eyes and a smile on his face, and even though Mike knows he sounds like an idiot, Will still takes his hand. “A dance sounds nice.”

(Okay. Okay, great. Okay. He can do this. Mike can do this.)

“Cool,” Mike says, a bit breathlessly, and he smiles back at his best friend.

“Cool,” Will echoes as the two of them make their way out onto the dance floor. Just like before, Mike awkwardly puts his hands around Will’s waist, while Will puts his arms around Mike’s neck, and the two of them sway back and forth in time with the music. 

Neither of them say much, which is kind of nice. It feels like this moment is just for the two of them, and though Mike’s heart is pounding inside his chest, he forces himself to just breathe and to focus on this moment… to focus on Will.

Up close, Mike can really get a better look at his best friend. He’s bounced back fairly well—or as well as one can after being held hostage for about a week—but there are still bags under his eyes and a tiredness on his face that Mike’s sure won’t go away for a while. Likewise, there’s a cut on his forehead that’s still healing and a few bruises that are still fading on his face. 

Most noticeable, though, is the single gray streak through Will’s brown hair—the one that matches Mike’s own perfectly. Their twin, painful souvenirs from carrying Atlas’s burden.

“We match,” Will murmurs, as if he can somehow read Mike’s mind. He hesitates for a moment, then reaches up and gently touches Mike’s own gray streak. 

“Yeah,” Mike whispers back, and he gives Will another small, shy smile. “We do.”

Will just smiles in return, and he lowers his hand from Mike’s hair once more, swaying back and forth gently to the song. Neither one of them says anything else, but Mike doesn’t really think they need to. Somehow, he gets the feeling that both he and Will are on the same page, together in this moment.

And so, as the song continues to play, Mike just lets himself get lost in this moment. He sets aside everything else that’s on his mind—from the prophecy that lingers over his head, to whether Henry is still alive and still out there, to Athena’s warnings to him—and he just focuses on everything about this moment.

The warmth of the lights on his skin, filling Mike with a sense of security and comfort.

The sound of his friends’ laughter—Dustin, over there with some nymphs and Lucas and Max laughing together as they share their own slow dance.

The song, soft and slow and a bit hopeful, that Mike hears, and the words that he tries to commit to his memory: Just like the ocean pairs well with the sand, I go with you…

And everything about Will—from the soft nervousness of his smile, to the warmth radiating from him as he hugs Mike closer, to the sheer sense of familiarity that comes with being around Will, as if he’s just someone who has always been there with Mike and part of his life.

Somewhere, distantly, a thought crosses Mike’s mind, and though his cheeks go warm at just that thought, he doesn’t let himself dwell on it too much.

Right here, right now, this is enough.

Byler PJO AU, who are Mike and Will's godly parents? GO!

OMG OMG OMG HIIIIII FELLOW PJO BYLER

this is so hard uhhhh

i’m was gonna say hades for mike (bc emo angsty gay) but actually i’m going to have a hot take and say will (TRUST ME IT’LL MAKE SENSE)

will WOULD be able to raise the dead. like tell me i’m wrong - i can see him canonically doing some shit like that with his wacko upside down connection and ominous lines and possessed monster drawings. ik he’s a cleric and so like apollo but that’s just his beautiful personality and gay love i feel like irl my boy will be throwing HANDS he can LOAD A GUN he will BEAT VECNAS ASS TO THE GROUND

yes mike is 1000 percent on the angsty meter but SO IS WILL he’s just as in denial just in a different way he’s just as depressed he spouts death prophecies like it’s the morning news and slays the ominous vibes sO HARD give his self hatred some credit u guys

hades IS the queer one (yes they’re all a gay found family but like especially hades. the queer metaphor for nico in the original books??? the queer metaphor for HADES being ostracized from his own family??? the just inherent queer coding of hades?? feeling like an outsider <33333333 don’t love it all sometimes can be problematic but i’m not wrong

being an artist feels so hades coded idk why like hazel?? definitely an artist are you kidding me she paints she watercolors she pastels. NICO?? that boy can DRAW he can CHARCOAL fight me

mike would die to see will in black

SassTM

i hate who i am HELLO??? sacrificing himself for those he loves bc he doesn’t feel deserving of love and thinks reciprocation is impossible?? i’m sobbing but i’m right

will IS the mc and hades kids give SUCH mc vibes like yes big three yes completely overpowered yes nico and will book coming out yes nico being a mc at 10 years old even in percy’s pov in the og series

texts in all lowercase

i mean yes will’s a golden retriever and an actual angel but so is hazel levesque??? so is nico diANGELo did you READ titans curse??? let’s not gatekeep wholesomeness from the hades cabin they are the most wholesome absolute deadly babies just like will

i like men but at what cost

traumatized young 🤩🤩 super heavy foundational trauma at like 10 cough cough nicO cough cough hAZEL cough 🥰🥰🥰

NICO WENT TO TARTARUS BY HIMSELF WILL WENT TO THE UPSIDE DOWN BY HIMSELF

gay slay pining the day away

i can see will being turned into a plant :’)

i am a will kinnie and am a hades kid

ok ok now mike

i’m in between apollo and poseidon

apollo: he writes, he’s gay, poetry and songwriting!!!, would pull a will solace and not be able to hit a target to save his life bc #coordination, solangelo hehehehehe, gay pining is v apollo, dad is an asshole<3, siblings are badass and underestimated, SimpTM

poseidon: he IS percy jackson. need i say more? (blue?? literally every percabeth parallel ever??? dyslexic adhd bisexual disaster clueless simp???)

anyways byler is percabeth and solangelo confirmed

omfg i went on a rant OOPS i hope u have a wonderful slay gay pjo/st day <33

#byler #percabeth #solangelo #pjo #percy jackson #hoo #mike wheeler #will byers

[rotisseries]

been reading this book about some girls trying to pull off a major heist on the titanic and the leader slash strategist slash master pickpocket is obsessed with the sweet and gentle artist they got to do some forgeries and is constantly telling her how amazing she is and like it's been said before but we really need a byler heist au

#everyone go read a million to one by adiba jaigirdar btw #byler

[yellow-n-blue-hyperfixation]

Unfortunately, I haven’t read that many Byler AU fics yet (only one actually), but a fic rec is still a fic rec-

Never Let Go, by Thorny Words

Mike boards the ship of dreams, the Titanic, shackled to his fiancé by an arranged marriage. Upon arrival, he's expected to marry her, and so short on time, Mike jumps to drastic measures to escape this reality; but in running from his problems, Mike instead finds love in an aspiring artist who saves him in every way a person can be saved.

Or

Titanic AU, but make it byler
