Byler Fic - Tumblr Posts
so there's these byler fics that i read way way back then in ao3 and i remember loving it so much even though it made me bawl my eyes out. i am not confident these two are like, in the same fic but here they are:
this first one, the scene i remember the most is mike and will i think are lounging on will's bed and they were having a relaxing time until suddenly mike tells will that he has to wake up. will's confused but mike is just repeating it. i think the days repeat in this fic as well? (idk if that's in that fic though or if i'm getting mixed up)
then the second one is the same concept but with mike. the most i remember is him having a nuclear family with el and will's dead and and they named a kid after him and max and that's it
please help me find these fics, i crave the breaking of my heart
what if I- what if I made Mike have amnesia.... for shits and giggles
Will lays against Mike’s chest, feeling his steady heartbeat and trying to match it with his own. He’s not quite grounded, but coming back slowly, becoming aware of himself again. He hears Mike’s voice guiding him back to the world and feels the tackiness of sweat and tears on his skin. A hand (Dustin’s) gently rubs his arm and there’s another one (Lucas’s) on his shoulder. It’s quiet in the bunker, just four best friends helping one of their own recover. Will takes his time, breathing with Mike and focusing on the sensations and love surrounding him. His body is weak and exhausted, but he’s safe.
He blinks slowly and the world comes into focus, his best friends’ bleary eyes welcoming him home. They notice Will’s lucidity and gently fold him into a tight embrace, shielding him from the monsters both inside and outside his mind. He burrows into Mike’s shoulder and falls limp under his friends’ soothing weight, body succumbing to the adrenaline loss. The boys smile at each other. They’d do this a million times if it meant Will never suffered alone.
oh how i absolutely YEARN for a scene where the core four (dustin, lucas, mike, will) are all together and comforting will after he has a ptsd episode or whatever else. and it's just. a very quiet moment of them resting their hands on will's shoulder or just hugging him close, saying that he's okay, that it's okay. not invalidating him, not saying he's weak. just being understanding because only they REALLY know the full extent of everything he's had to go through (from lonnie to the upside down) because they've been there since day 1. and it's just. a cute quiet moment of boys being best friends and comforting one of their own who is suffering a great deal, because that's what the party does - they show up for each other. and they love each other so, so much.
I’m literally fighting back tears. Thank you for writing this absolute masterpiece and reminding us all why this story is so vitally important. Please read this work and witness the healing power of love. ❤️🩹🏳️🌈🥹
we will never go back (to that bloodshed)
A wide smile breaks across Mike’s face and not even a moment later, Mike’s on the ground in front of him, wrapping his arms around the back of Will’s neck and his back and pulling him into a hug so tight that it makes his wounds ache, just a little.
“Holy shit,” Mike says into the crook of Will’s neck. He sounds just as breathless as Will is feeling. “Holy shit, Will.”
“Yeah,” Will laughs lightly, “Holy shit.”
Or, Will and Mike after battle
