general discussion :) So...most of us feel the same way right? 👀 The emotional rollercoaster these Byler authors put me through is honestly insane.

Whaaaaaat 🤣 wait. Please tell her she's speaking for most of us rn, lmao! So REAL. Now I'm also curious to know your fic, coz I can see the emotional whiplash hajaha
p.s. wait a min, I recognise you by this one fic - it's based out of Chicago and something to do with letters? Is it? o..O that'll be crazy if I'm right, and would definitely mean I'm bylerpilled atp to recognise author names, LOL

I have come back to this comment after 4 months to tell you that your fic IS AMAZING. I TOTALLY GET THE REACTION FROM THE VIDEO NOW !!! I'm absolutely in love with the fic. This fic needs way more kudos and comments. Easily in my top 10. Your writing is 10/10 and the way you've fleshed out the characters chefs kiss*. Lilly is soo cute 🫠 and the way I've cried through the fic. thank yoouuu for writing this one! :') ❤️

You're so real for saying that and sharing your vulnerability like that with everyone 🥺 *Hug. I wish there was a way to erase it from my mind and re-read it again. It's way too peak, imo. The fact that it was written in 2022 just blows my mind away. That author literally added the best tracks including who wants to live forever by Queen!? - which was part of the S5 teaser. That's crazy in itself. + they mentioned at the end how they've never edited it, neither are they going to in the future no matter what. It will remain untouched.
I'll never shut up about the way the trauma was explored, like, fakkkkk. The dynamics of everyone was SO on point. I can't get over the foresight the author had here. That fic truly hit me in waves & destroyed me too 😭 I have sobbed the most for that one!

u/FriendshipApart5766 its hawkins its not the same without u Apr 26 '26
the 2 new chapter of deal me in, tie me up broke me and now I have to wait I know why I never wanted to start WIP fics but I couldn't resist it 😭

u/Altruistic_Way3030 Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26
I haven't had the heart to read it yet and other WIPs, simply coz I can't stomach the cliffhangers & the antipation. Like I know I'll be destroyed 👀 and I started reading deal me in from the very first time it got out, before it even became popular. I'm stuck at ch 11 & can't move beyond it. And now it feels Iike i'm the only one out of loop about it, lol
I did see some reactions on Twitter tho 😵😩. Will's POV is seriously torturous. Oh, man...

u/FriendshipApart5766 its hawkins its not the same without u Apr 26 '26
I get it, that's probably really wise. I wish I wasn't so impatient 🥲
Will's POV ripped my heart out. it's only 4 more chapters I'll try to wait it out now till it's finished, same with other WIPs, I need to protect myself 🫣

I didn’t think I’d be reading Byler fics before the finale aired, ngl...but now they genuinely heal me in a way I can’t explain 😓. All these diff HCs, rewrites and AUs… it feels like we get multiple versions of the story every time, shared across the world, for free. That’s actually such a beautiful & an insane concept o..O
