“I’m gay,” he blurts out suddenly, because if this is how his life is going and he’s gonna die in the next 12 hours he at least needs to let Mike know that.

“What?!” Mike whips around so hard he almost loses all balance and falls to the ground. He catches himself thankfully right before he does.

“I’m gay,” Will says again when Mike is in front of him. Mike’s eyes widen and his mouth falls open just a bit. Will doesn’t feel any emotion to his confession at all, it’s not news to him obviously, but whenever he imagined finally telling this to Mike he thought it would feel so dramatic. That it would feel like he was ripping open a part of himself, but given everything it feels like he’s just letting Mike know what his star sign is.

Mike however looks like he’s gonna have an aneurysm. He’s short circuited. He’s dumbfounded. Will is honestly a little surprised this is so shocking to him like did he never even consider-

“Uh-.. uh I know.” Mike stumbles on his words like bambi.

Wait what?

“What do you mean you know?”

“Uh, that I know… I know you’re- you’re gay.” Mike stammers out like he’s never said the word in his life.

“Did Lucas tell you?” Will accuses. He doesn’t want to think about the state that Lucas must be in but if he told Mike anything…

“No! Wait, Lucas knows?”

“Yeah, I told him. How do you know?”

“Well, I..” Mike struggles, “I just assumed… No! Not that I assumed, I just inferred.” Mike rubs a hand over his face, “Well, you know, I figured it out, kind of… like I just realized you didn’t really like girls, which is okay! I mean I get it girls are whatever… but then you know how obsessed you were with George Michael… well I just put two and two together and-”

“Ok, Ok,” Will stops him there, “how long have you known then?”

“I don’t know.. Um, like since last year?”

Will lets out an internal sigh of relief. Ok, he can work with that. He would’ve thought it was earlier given when Mike had started to stand farther and farther away from him, this trip excluded for obvious reasons.

“And you’re cool with it?” I mean he has to be at least pretty cool with it if he’s with him here right now.

“Of course! Of course I’m cool with it, I lo- I- I, you’re- you’re perfect.” Mike settles on and Will sees the look of strained cringe Mike just can’t disguise, and he can’t help but laugh at how utterly ridiculous and pathetic his best friend is.

Mike chuckles at himself too. Sheepishly running a hand through his hair. “Sorry, you know what I mean..”

Will forces himself to not laugh in his face any longer, at least they can still do this. He might be dying soon and a ghost of a witch might be after them and their friends, but this can still feel nice.

“Yeah I do, it’s okay. You’re perfect too.” He still blushes as he says it even if it's supposed to be half a joke. The huge megawatt smile that blooms across Mike’s face after he says it is pretty worth it though.

Mike tries to tamper it down by looking away and clearing his throat, but he’s not too successful, so Will helps him out.

“Let’s, uh, let’s get this stuff up,” he says to break the moment, and Mike is happy to spring to action to not talk about this anymore.

[phanfictioncatalogue]

hi there! i've followed you guys for years and appreciate what this blog does so much!

recently i've been planning on making a similar blog for the byler fanfic community and was wondering if i could take inspo/model some of the features you guys have on my own? i'm not very well-versed in coding so any layout tips would be so so appreciated!!

That would be completely fine! I have said many times over the years that there should be a blog like this for every fandom that has fanfic.

I'm not the best at coding either but just find some themes you think you'd be able to follow for your library/recs. Once you get started with your blog, it's pretty easy to learn the gist of html. Most of it is just copying and pasting for me. If you have any questions, you can message me on my tumblr @dxnhowell and I'll try my best to help :)

Writing Patterns

thanks for the tag me @longtallglasses and @magentamee!

rules: list the first line(s) of your last 10 8 5 posted fics (and 6 wips) and see if there's a pattern.

(these are not in chronological order of when I wrote them, but man I feel like it's super obvious which ones I wrote more recently)

POSTED:

What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)

This summer, Mike decides, has been complete and utter bullshit. 

I Dare You

It was 3am at that point. The party they left had ended hours ago- one of those end of the year events hosted by their high school that had way too much adult supervision for any of the teenage antics that usually went on at all the parties they never got invited to over the past three years.

The Truth Runs Wild Inside of Me

Mike closes his eyes, El right across from him one second and swallowed up by darkness the next. She had a makeshift blindfold pulled taught over her eyes, making her quick-growing curly hair splay out in all directions when she asked him to sit down in front of her and close his eyes.  

Below The Fold

 It took until Piper was standing in Oberland Station, talking to a confused couple that was really just minding their own business in the biting morning of the autumn wasteland, for her to realize that whoever told her that they had some juicy story for her was a big fat liar. 

Source Decay (first thing I posted after a 5 year gap in writing lol)

Piper stood in front of the massive gate of Diamond City, her face pinched in frustration, “Seriously?” She muttered under her breath, rubbing her temples with her hands as she paced back and forth in front of the gate, “What the hell!”

UNPOSTED WIPS:

A Papercut For Two (Part 1 of A Strange Education)

The morning before his life is set on an unavoidable trajectory for disaster, Mike almost gets his foot run over by Nancy’s stupid car.

Violent Angles (So Tangled Up)

Warm wind blew against his face, picking the loose curly strands of his hair off his forehead and neck as he stepped out of the car and onto the gravel of the parking lot. The papers in his hand fluttered as he turned and closed the car door.

Go West, Young Man

Young boys were not supposed to roam the foothills without supervision. They were full of bears and cougars and abandoned mineshafts that burrowed into the land like goring wounds in the abdomen of a dying cattle driver. The people before had come for copper and gold, and left behind yawning pits that could crush a body as well as a bear’s teeth. And the people before that, he did not know. 

The Way

His mouth tasted like copper and white liquor when he finally came to, body heavy on scratchy carpet that scraped against the right side of his face. His arm was numb beneath him, and he squeezed his fist a few times until the nerves screamed back to life and made his hand feel warm and tingly. He rolled on his back, the popcorn ceiling swimming above him as he fought to keep his eyes open despite the pain piercing through his skull. 

Cyclebreaker

Hopper remembers bringing his fists down into Will's ribs, over and over until he gasped his way back to life. He remembers the phonecalls and the endless appointments with Sam, the odd shiver he’d get realizing that Sam thought Will was his. His and Joyce’s, a miserable little family that tragedy would follow around like the grim reaper, reminding him that he’s not only cursed, but a curse. He remembers how Jonathan told him they’d be okay, how okay never quite turned out to be what any of them expected, once all the dust settled and they tried to piece back together normal. He’d been piecing back together normal since Sarah, though, and he’s convinced it’s made up. A lie meant to comfort those that couldn’t handle the truth; life is going to destroy you, and there’s no way back to normal. 

Unison

“-And that’s the traffic. Now to-”

Nate turned the volume down, one hand on the wheel. Silence filled the void between them.

rwylm wip

Mike rolls out his shoulders for what feels like the billionth time this shift, cursing whoever decided what the average height for counters was supposed to be. He’s trying to work on his posture — his mom nags him about it — but when he’s constantly having to hunch over to pull espresso shots, it’s out of his control at that point. Sue the counter-measurement-person. He’s been here for six and a half hours, and while he normally loves his morning shift, the pungent smell of roasting coffee beans is serving no purpose but nausea.

very delayed new years wip

The first thing Will sees when he wakes up is snow, delicately falling out of the sky against the perfect evergreen tree outside the window in his room.

The second thing he sees are wild, red curls flying in the air before a body is crashing into his on top of the piles of blankets he and Mike had stolen from the main room last night because Will hates being cold.

“Mmmpph,” Will groans.

holding the stars in place

A week into the Byers being back in Hawkins, rain falls. It begins overnight and feels like the town is getting washed and rinsed from its sins.

the wonders of my world

El Hopper enjoys her new job. She feels at home — giggling with five-year-olds all day long, decorating her classroom with sparkles and colors, and watching their little minds activate and mold as the weeks go on. Communicating with their parents isn’t always fun, but for the most part, she’s overjoyed that she chose to become a kindergarten teacher.

honey, i’m still free

"Looks like you've made a lot of progress since I was here last."

Will's shoulders rise quickly to meet his ears, and he looks back from the large canvas he is poring over – a commission for a big client he's been working on for weeks. He turns around to find Mike standing in the middle of his studio, a toothy smile spread across his face and holding two coffee cups.

‘cause if we don’t leave this town

“Okay, I think that’s everything.”

Will hears an accomplished exhale from Lucas and the sound of the U-Haul door slamming as he sluggishly climbs into the back seat of the Sinclair family Expedition, which was passed down to Lucas when he graduated high school.

when it ends

"You're staring," Will says from the other side of the couch. His hair is a little messy, growing out so it flips up off the back of his neck the way Mike loves. He's wearing one of Mike's crewnecks with shorts and socks that stop above his ankles. His legs are scrunched up like he's trying to make himself small – a default position for Will when his mind is elsewhere.

"Do you not want me to?" Mike wonders.

tried and true blue

"Okay, and—yeah, that's fine sweetheart, of course I want to see you—no, Lucas won't mind—you're sure you're okay, though?—drive safe, I love you," is the half-conversation Lucas hears Mike murmur into the telephone receiver in the kitchen.

if only to say you’re mine

"I think it's kinda cool how everyone's more eager to celebrate the little things now, after almost losing so much," Will ponders after Max voices criticism at the frivolous decorations around Hawkins High.

you got a fast car

"Let's go somewhere— anywhere. Whisk me away."

Writing Patterns!

Thank you for the tag, @longtallglasses (their post) <3!!!

rules: list the first line(s) of your last 10 posted fics (or wips) and see if there's a pattern!

1. I can never look away

“Shit.”

Mike watches Will breathlessly cover his eyes.

“Holy shit.”

2. take me home tonight

“Mike.”

Will’s voice was… fragile. It broke Mike’s heart with every step and slight ending breath. Mike was afraid. He looked at the strands of hair falling in Will’s eyes and clutched his shoulder tighter. He wasn’t afraid of Will, no, never. He was afraid of what was happening. That he had no clue of what was happening.

3. Maybe

Maybe this wasn’t the best idea. Then again, when did that ever really matter?

4. Married to the Crime

Nothing. After working his ass off for the past hour and a half on this - nothing.

5. Stars Come Out At Night

Sara was an angel. An angel straight from heaven. She made his life complete. She was his universe. And he’s very aware of how cheesy it sounds, but he’d look up at the stars and see her face shining among them. He still looks up and sees her.

6. Rest

Sapnap yawned rather noisily as he closed the door behind him. That was nothing out of the ordinary.

7. Codependent

“Will. Will!” He calls, glancing up at the ceiling as if that’ll help hear Will’s voice better. It renders pointless, though. Nothing. “Babe, are you up?”

8. I’ll Be Waiting, Time After Time

Will is excited.

Getting out of any stuffy airport is always a little exciting, but that’s besides the point.

9. Muse

“Hold still.”

Mike groans and shifts in his seat. “This is impossible, I give up.” Of all the places he’s done this, this might be the most uncomfortable. He can’t believe that his boyfriend is making him sit on a stool, high enough that his feet don’t touch the ground.

10. flowers grow wherever you go

“I think flowers are sad.”

“Really? Why?” Quackity folds his wings and lies down beside him.

I was already kinda aware of my fanfic starter patterns, haha, but it’s good to see it all in one place and really identify it, and based on all these, I like dialogue, hooks, and motifs.

wait i just realized the vid of caleb and sadie with the hair braiding

lucas is 100% braiding max’s hair while she’s in a coma, perhaps erica and lucas bonding moment?? where she teaches him??

#stranger things #stranger things 5 #lumax #lucas sinclair #max mayfield #byler #target audience #longtallglasses

[longtallglasses]

the consensus i’m getting from posts and tags is that people either think mike looking like his s1 self means either

a) he’s coming back to himself, more in tune with himself, being more emotionally open/aware etc in the way he was in s1

or

b) he’s trying to conform again, repression to the max since eddie’s gone as a leader (no safety) trying to blend in again, scared ! etc

and i don’t really know what i think yet i almost think both could be true - quietly open w those closer to him ie will while also trying to please and steer clear of this hellscape IDK the short hair is ConFusing

#this is also just one outfit #watch this be like a few scenes where it was like his mom making him dress like this #still very interesting on the hair choice tho if this is post time skip #byler #mike wheeler #stranger things 5 #stranger things #will byers #longtallglasses

[longtallglasses]

it’s very interesting to me amongst the different fandoms i’ve been a part of in regards to their attitudes toward nsfw fanworks bc with the marauders those teens are always wildin’ - smoking, drinking, sleeping together - if they’re not i would even say it would be out of character for them? wolfstar is messy and horny and so in love, even if in a lot of fics they won’t admit it to each other. in atyd everyone is shagging up a storm, the girls, the boys, it’s still juvenile of course the way they discuss it and go about it. very little communication, feelings are hurt, they don’t know what they’re doing all the time. and it makes sense, they’re teenagers!

i have never once heard of discussion around it being ‘wrong’ to write them this way. that it’s ‘objectifying’ and if you’re thinking about it you must be weird or unnecessarily sexualizing characters. sexualizing characters? they’re already sexualized wdym? they have a sexuality, everyone has a sexuality, whatever the author/artist wants to give them, whether that’s a sex crazed maniac or the most sex repulsed asexual, they Have a Sexuality! even before the exact moment they turn 18, they have a sexuality. it’s just another facet to explore character through, to understand them more fully, and also sometimes for the author to help understand themselves.

i’m sorry age doesn’t matter when it comes to fictional characters. it just doesn’t. they’re not real you can’t hurt them. if someone wants to write through trauma, something ‘wrong’ and ‘problematic’ let them use fictional people. it may seem gross and you don’t have to read it, but its existence does not mean promotion of harmful behavior. it can mean so many different things to that author but it doesn’t equate to that.

i say this bc i myself have written some horrid things. i’ve never posted them, was not in a place where i wanted to, i wrote it all in a period of my life where i was seriously hurting, and writing fucked up horrific things stopped me from hurting Myself. i’ve read some ‘problematic’ fics that made me feel better, hurt me in a good way, reading comments of people who related and appreciated what was being explored.

most people who write about fucked up shit, SA, or some form of trauma porn or whatever it is have probably gone through something similar in their life. the people who read it and seek it out are usually drawn to it for a reason but we don’t need to know why. there is also just curiosity. and being curious doesn’t make you a bad person, it doesn’t mean you ‘like’ it. you may like the power dynamics at play, you may be intrigued by desires different than your own, you may… ANYTHING what you enjoy to read or write speaks to nothing regarding who you are in your day to day life. your morals, your beliefs, or what you want sexually or otherwise. i say this to a younger me, there’s nothing wrong with you!

with all that being said… there is also porn that is just porn. and that’s perfectly fine and good too. people have always written porn about whatever and whoever they want and they always will. if you don’t want it, scroll pass. you won’t be given a gold star for announcing you think it’s gross or wrong, you just look silly. i’m not saying that you must like it too, but attacking the moral character of those who do partake, shows an immaturity and lack of tack when it comes to these subjects. go out in the world and you will discover just how ‘abnormal’ and ‘depraved’ sexual desire can manifest itself as.

as someone who grew up a Very sexually confused person. not knowing i was queer or on the ace spectrum exploring sexuality through fiction was like my saving grace. and those books and those fics that made me feel seen, made me go huh! woah! ooooh my god that’s me! or made me go … wait why do i kinda like that? more often than not they were written by adults. bc they had made it through to the other side so to speak. and as An Adult now i find the traditional adolescent experience very intriguing as i did not have that growing up. the sexual experiences i’ve had now have shown me so starkly that that feeling which accompanies a new experience never really goes away. people are fumbling well into their 20s and 30s. reading the plight of a young person discovering who they are sexually i don’t think will ever not be relatable or make someone reflect. that includes the sweet and innocent as well as the ‘gross’/depraved horniness. it is not necessarily enjoyed on a basis of attraction to these characters, it is enjoyed on a basis of ‘i know this feeling’ or ‘i also do and have yearned for this kind of intimacy’. and if who you are isn’t represented in those stories, oh well damn, looks like i have to write it now. that’s how we have Are you there God, it’s me Margaret and the edge of 17 (the ‘98 and ‘16 iterations), all these stories written by Adults! that make us all sigh in relief and laugh and cry and aaahhh

fiction is fiction, idek what anti-ship means, let people be freaks in peace, fandom spaces are created to have fun in, let’s pls have Fun!!! explore and write and draw and fantasize whatever your heart desires bc there can be no right or wrong, it is just discovery.

if you feel kinship with characters and it feels natural to extend yourself to them, to take them and make them your own, amazing, gorgeous, beautiful. play dress up with them in all the ways you can, do whatever You Want!!

who's gonna write the stranger things/byler/lumax amazing race competition reality show au???

like byler is marketed as the nerdy childhood best friends team, “we've already gone on much crazier quests together when we were ten so this race is gonna be a piece cake!”

the whole audience at home picking up on their insane chemistry like... 👀

they're the clear front runners from the start because they hardly need to talk at all to get things done, work so quickly on their feet, mike is a crazy good strategist, and they’re always on the same page. and ToTally side eye other teams that are a mess, judgy shared smirks and eye rolls.

I know mike would be taking the whole thing soooo seriously while will is like :) ☺️ as mike figures out all the clues in seconds. even better if in this universe they already know lumax so mike is extra competitive bc he wants to beat them.

lumax is the loud and funny bickering couple, (also *cough* the couple everyone is attracted to) either freshly newlyweds, or just engaged. they have a million moments in the show where something goes wrong and they look at each other like 'wtf?!' 'this isn't my fault!' 'well you said we didn't have to worry about water!' they still would somehow manage to pull through and do okay

they are more 'secret planners' being sneaky that the audience is also blindsided by some of their actions. they excel best at the physical challenges that’s where they don’t need to check in w the other, but sometimes also really surprise everyone with their smarts.

also 100% love being sabateurs!!! very excited to fuck over another team if they can. if it airs at a time of social media people would be making comps of all their little zingers, one liners, and banter.

and simply bc i think this would be SO funny is dustin and mr. clarke as a team. teacher and ex-student team. the science guys! however despite being super smart a lot of their skills and knowledge aren't translating to most of these practical challenges and obstacles (mr. clarke more than dustin).

they don't do the best communicating with locals and stuff of the like, but people LOVE to watch them, i just have this vision of mr. clarke having to sky dive or crawl through some dark cave and freaking out, while dustin yells at him to keep going. instant comedy gold to the folks back home. dusitn for some reason still refers to mr. clarks AS mr. clarke.

they would also be the team hit with every detour task, slowing them down so much, dustin is so irate every time while mr. clarke is like weirdly overtly optimistic bc he's really there to just have fun. (like yes a steve/dustin team would be great too but i think i'd rather a steve/robin or a robin/nancy team alongside these)

#lumax #byler #so who’s gonna write this #bc surprisingly i actually hav very little knowledge of this show lol #will byers #mike wheeler #stranger things #lucas sinclair #max mayfield #dustin henderson #byler fic #amazing race #the amazing race #byler headcanon #wait fuck! and el and hopper father daughter duo!! #longtallglasses

[longtallglasses]

one thing I really like about fandom and fanfiction is seeing how perceptions of characters and headcanons about the story change over time, especially as the media is still coming out.

like in the harry potter fandom I find it so fascinating to read fic from when the books were still coming out. people didn't know who was gonna end up with who or if harry or anyone else was gonna die. seeing what fans wanted to have happen or what they thought was going to happen is so cool, esp when it's something I never would've considered (and sometimes would've even preferred) bc I grew up young enough that most of the books were out by the time I started reading.

which is why I'm so excited by the theories and the fic being written about stranger things right before the last season, seeing all the ways things could go down, all the things people want to happen, before everyone will know exactly what will. Like are fans gonna turn on some character, or change their whole way of thinking about them after the last season? Is there gonna be some big revelation that changes how writers depict them, or depict the setting and the canon universe?

idk so interesting to me, makes me just a little more patient for s5.

#like how people are ALREADY incorporating the radio station into their mind and how mike works there #like are radio station fics gonna be like the IT location post s5 I'm Ready! #harry potter #stranger things #stranger things 5 #fanfiction #fandom history #byler #wolfstar #ao3 fanfic #hinny #jily #mileven #romione #longtallglasses

okay yes wilmon great great hope they work it out whatever-

SARA AND AUGUST

i mean sara has been my girl since ep1 and you know, i held out hope when she made those horrendous decisions bc she’s just a weird horse girl and she just wanted to be a girl! and wear a nice dress to dinner! and have fun! and you know just let her make these horrible mistakes she’ll learn through it

and august ugh •_• the biggest asshole, a piece of shit you just wanna smack him. but then finding out he’s a human underneath? that he actually has some humanity? i didn’t wanna accept it okay i was angry about the redemption arc i didn’t want it, he infuriates me.

but then the two of them… facing each other and seeing the shitty things both of them have done but being someone that can actually look past them bc they know very well the deep insecurity one has to feel to do what they’ve done. … like fuck really?? you’re gonna make me root for these two and NOW s3 literally making me cry at the way august just wants so bad for sara to know him, the real him! stoooopppp!!!!

#i hate that they've become my faves #and not even to mention sara and felice !!!! #her first friend!!!!! #sargust #young royals #sara eriksson #august horn #and sara feels guilty for liking him like she can’t be a good sister if she does #it started out fake but now it’s so real ugh #longtallglasses

[longtallglasses]

went out w/ friends last night…

my mission - try NOT to bring up: fanfiction, st, byler, the fact we got a glimpse of will in green, the gays are filming on a farm - MASSIVELY failed!!!

#byler #will byers #mike wheeler #stranger things #even mentioned to my friends partner at one point #‘you know there’s actually some really good south park fanfiction out there if u know where to look #longtallglasses

[longtallglasses]

it’s been well over a year and the van scene is well incorporated into my psyche but I was just thinking about my first reaction to it, like first watch intake. My jaw literally dropped when I realized what Will was doing, like confessing his love through El?!? I was shaken!! that is desperate and messy and can only be born out the most hopeless soul eating heartache and I love Will for that, my heart breaks for him, but that is A Bold Choice to make. Like when I stop and think about it that’s crazy that he did that. Will is bold in his hiding, trying very hard, but he was eventually found…

and for people to watch that scene and not think he is so down bad is baffling - i first watched it with my parents and my dad went “wait why is he crying?” dude! - to me it’s almost like queer experience is erased in most people’s eyes if he didn’t out right say it.
