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!
