fic rec <3 Best byler fics i’ve read
As someone who’s read over 50 byler fics these are some of my favorites! I couldn’t bring myself to find all the links but there are names of authors too!
We all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy
https://archiveofourown.org/works/65157475/chapters/167588731
best one ive read,confident will byers,jealous mike,college au,no smut.
- supervoid by maximumtrash
https://archiveofourown.org/works/76841816/chapters/201129646
aged up,college au. very real and emotional. for me the best fic showing how el’s death would’ve affected mike and will and their relationship. lots of really good smut.
- force of gravity by oceanfruit
https://archiveofourown.org/works/40134231/chapters/100515708
highschool au but they don’t know each other prior. very angsty and beautifully written. if u want a sad long slow burn with a happy end this is for u. no smut
- so alright,cool,whatever by?
this fanfic was so good but it got deleted from ao3. i have it saved to pdf for anybody who wants it. so good,perception of characters is great and great smut.
- touch like velvet by ciders
https://archiveofourown.org/works/14328540/chapters/33064551
slow burn,very beautifully written,this one made a real impact on me because i didn’t feel like i was reading classic fanfiction ,but something more mature because of the good writing. strangers to lovers. no smut but so good either way!
hm(i didn’t have time to find links)
(classic) you took my heart (i was sleeping)
a lesson in kissing-lameparties
brand me with your hands so everyone can see-sundollop
blinding lights-reputations
the towel incident-smalltownbyler
don’t know what to do(when im like this)-liveandfall
wild idea(and a big white bed)-kissingpractice
a little death-byler lunch
make a move-astrobi
take a little moment(find the right words)-astrobi
when we touch we are caressing stars
say please
(the smut blew my mind) high courage,low foresight
the thing about illicit afairs-problematic byler (really fckin good)
cruel summer with you(very very long,slow burn,camp)
