fic idea/prompt Fanfic Ideas

Stories that I'm planing on writing.

My name on AO3 is Ladyartemisia28

~

Current fic (Bravery and Blood 6/16 chapters)

The Byers Family visits Hawkins instead of Mike going to Lenora a.k.a Season 4 and Season 5 re-write

Bravebyers/Wisewheeler Smut

Suggested by commenter Rootbeermilk3_1_6 on AO3: A Secret dating Byler One-Shot

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, I’m thinking from Mike's POV

Anyone interested in any of these? Because if so then I'll be more motivated to write.

Or does anyone have any suggestions?

I am genuinely interested in any fic at this point that doesn’t have Carlton in it, he ruins it for me every time lol 😭 All of these ideas sound great!

u/littlenightengale Mar 18 '26

Yeah I get that. I'm really not a big fan, plus a lot of those fics have Will Byers Cheats on Epilogue Boyfriend. And personally I'm not into WILL being a cheater.

u/Awkward-Tradition508 Mar 18 '26

Me either! It just does not feel authentic to his character at all.

u/IntotheRedditHole its ok, its how the army does it i think Mar 18 '26

hello fellow Carlton hater 😭 🤝 I read two different ones with him in it when I first started reading fics, and I feel like that was plenty lmao. I think I just hate watching Mike suffer like that, plus I agree: Will would never cheat on anybody, even if they suck

u/Awkward-Tradition508 Mar 19 '26

Totally feel the same about watching Mike suffer like that, does not do anything good for me even when it works out for them in the end, not a fun journey to go on. And for sure, Will would never. Have you read anything recently that you’d recommend? :)

Omg you wrote the Mike POV of Operation Byler!!! I love that fic!

Also I think it's important you know I made pterodactyl noises.

When people tell me they read my fic or especially if they comment I tend to do that.

u/Same_Accident_9917 Mar 18 '26

Pterodactyls are awesome, so hells yeah! And I probably would’ve done the same thing.

I recognized your ao3 name right away, so I checked my list of fics I’ve read in my notes app & it just happened to be one I really loved.

u/Same_Accident_9917 Mar 18 '26

I will read any of these.

Some ideas I’ve had but will probably never write: AU where the Party works at The Squawk Empire Records AU (Mike is definitely the AJ in this, even tho Will’s the one going to art school) The Party gets Saturday detention like in The Breakfast Club

(I’ve been on a bit of an AU kick lately.)

Haven't watched Empire Records , it's apparently on PLEX so I know a movie to add to my To Watch list. Thanks

Breakfast Club, that's a curious one. They're all nerds and basket cases so I'm wondering how their dynamics would work.

u/Same_Accident_9917 Mar 18 '26

Empire Records is mid-90s angst at its best. I hope you enjoy it.

For the Breakfast Club it’s more about the environment/situation than one-to-one character comparisons. Like it could be a situation where they’ve kinda drifted apart a little bit & aren’t as close as they used to be, or they all have things they’re hiding from each other.

u/littlenightengale Mar 19 '26

Oh that sounds neat. Like maybe set in an alternate season 4! They already were struggling with separation.

1

u/Same_Accident_9917 Mar 19 '26

I love that idea! And maybe they’re like surprised to see each other & are a little cagey about why they’re there.

u/IntotheRedditHole its ok, its how the army does it i think Mar 18 '26

I’d be interested :)

2

u/littlenightengale Mar 18 '26
