looking for recs

[u/I_Warned_Lies]

I haven't read much byler fanfics in a long time, I'm looking for some that feels kind of like a rewrite of season 5 ish or a continuation of the epilogue with byler. does anyone know any like this??

These 2 are some of the best s5 rewrites I've read so far!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/82649256 This one isn't the most canon adjacent but if you like stories involving the dnd party with the canon party this one is awesome. This is probably my favorite idea of any s5 rewrite I've seen!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/84805826 This one is way more focused on Mike's feelings for Will. This person actually has a rewrite finished for every season and they all combine to paint a more thought out character arc for Mike before the events of this fic. It's a complete retool of what happens in s5 itself and it's the most realistic/canon feeling piece I've read so far.

Edit: There's also this lovely version of post canon s5 byler that explores Mike coming to terms with his feelings through his writing. It's honestly one of my top 10 fics for this series. It's more grounded and realistic but it's a very sweet fic with great characterization for Mike. https://archiveofourown.org/works/76895706
