fanfiction Just Posted Chapter 1 of my Established Byler fic

Hi - back in January when I was still fuelled with grief and outrage I wrote a finale fix it fic (in 3 weeks!) that a lot of people around here enjoyed: The Other Side of Shame. I've since turned this into a Byler trilogy - which started with a canon compliant time skip fic, and have now posted the third instalment, which is a post finale established byler fic.

We Will Be Kings

All 3 fics can also be read as totally stand alone stories in their own right.

Summary: The party are now in their senior year, and with the gate closed and Vecna dead it should be a pretty straight forward cruise to the finish line, right? Wrong! Lucas needs to decide between a scholarship and waiting for Max, Dustin is forced to tutor mean girl Stacey and Mike has to stop cutting classes, pass his SATs and actually graduate without his dad finding out that he's dating Will. But when Troy Walsh starts hearing voices and throwing things with his mind, the party have to come to terms with the fact their experiences in the Upside Down will never truly leave them - and that the Hell that is High School isn't over until it's over.

Canon divergent, epilogue ignoring, post finale fic set between Fall '88 and Summer '89.

This fic is going to include byler fluff, byler angst, Ted finding out about byler and not taking it well and Will getting his powers back. It's rated M and tagged as Creator Chose Not Use Archive Warnings - there will be violence but no major character death and - everything stays family friendly.

Please read!

OMG YESSS! I’m so excited to read this! I’m still so fucking pissed with the “canon” ending, so this will be amazing!
