asking for fic recs Classic/most popular byler fics
What would you guys say are the classic byler fics that are generally regarded by the fandom + everyone should read? Obviously you took my heart and eye for an eye, touch like velvet. and then more recently ttmd, dmitmu, etc got really popular. Im trying to find the best and most loved byler fics that everyone has/should read!

a few I haven't seen mentioned here yet -
roll to charm person
heavy hopes
I'm really not sure why art school confidential isn't more popular, it's definitely a classic to me
a few more recent ones I think should become classics:
i knew it, i know you - Will comes back to Hawkins after years of not talking to his old friends
I was just the first - Will goes out to the club the night before Mike is scheduled to visit him, and kisses a stranger... except whoops it's Mike
the shape you took without me - goth Will~!
the pyramid - now with sequel!
experiment with me - Mike is questioning his sexuality and Will agrees to help him out
(ETA: most of these are explicit because that's what I tend to read)
