#byler modern au

[wine-wrtj]

Look me in the eyes and say to me that modern AU Will Byers and Max Mayfield WOULDN’T be master thrift shoppers I fucking dare you

[aemiron-main]

modern au (but all the upside down shit still happened but is over now) party plays minecraft + byler isn’t together yet but theyre on the verge of getting together and mike and el are long broken up + everyone’s fending for themselves except mike keeps giving all of his resources to will and once everyone realizes, they start giving him shit for it/teasing mike about how he treats will so gently.  and while they’re arguing in vc and tabbed out of minecraft, will is running around and killing all of them for their loot which he then puts in his and mike’s chest.  mike is literally THE will defender, he’s a literal paladin guarding will from all of the mobs: will, gently harvesting crops mike, obliterating any monster that even Looks at will  eventually el and max team up on mike and chase him, all while mike shrieks in the vc about “it’s not fair for these two to team up on me!!!! theyre conspiring against me!!! ”  dustin builds the most insane redstone contraptions ever, and will patiently listens to dustin explain how they work, even if he doesn’t fully understand it. dustin also tames as many wild animals as he physically can lucas builds literally the cutest house for him and max ever. max accidentally blows part of it up while trying to kill mike with tnt. max and lucas repair the house together. eventually el also joins in with customizing the house and adding little details!!  jonathan starts playing for the first time one day + they ALL gang up on him and for the next hour, he’s dead within 2 seconds of spawning in. will tells everyone to stop eventually because “im pretty sure i can hear one of his blood vessels bursting from the other room”  nancy joins eventually too, and SHES the most brutal of them all. she’ll take down anyone for their loot. mike is begging for mercy but she kills him and takes his stuff anyway. she doesn’t have the heart to kill will or el, though. she does, however, ask them nicely to give her some items because she’s just starting out. will and el oblige because nancy is lowkey terrifying.  will dies in minecraft in front of mike because mike couldn’t kill a creeper in time and mike starts actually crying in the vc and everyone sort of feels bad because while yes it’s just minecraft, and sure, mike is maybe overreacting, trauma is weird and mike still isn’t over will having almost died in the final battle against the mindflayer/henry. will goes to the next room irl, where mike is, and just sits with him for awhile.  suzie starts playing eventually, and her and dustin build extremely complex castles and neverending story sculptures. someone (max) accidentally (while trying to kill mike AGAIN) blows up part of the structure, and suzie traps her in a strange eternal redstone rollercoaster hellscape for awhile until max apologizes.  the core party + max and el fight the ender dragon together. will and mike are the ones who land the killing blow. this makes mike feel slightly better about will’s death earlier.  like lucas and el and max, mike and will have an adorable house for themselves except the rooms mike decorated are kind of wonky, but will loves those rooms the most.  dustin is a madman who builds a sculpture/replica of the mindflayer based on will’s drawings. mike yells at dustin over vc for doing this. will, although he freaked out for a milisecond at first, is laughing his ass off over it because it’s honestly a pretty fantastic recreation suzie, now in cahoots with max after resolving their initial differences, is also sick of hearing mike and will swoon over eachother in vc, and therefore uses her hacking skills to change will’s username to “mikelover”. will, although embarrassed, does not deny the allegations. mike is flustered.  dustin’s tamed animals start living in lucas, el and max’s house since he doesnt really have a proper house, just a handful of extravagant castles with too many rooms to keep track of and a lot of sculptures unfit for pet habitation. el names all of the creatures that dustin hasn’t named yet.  mike has a coolass diamond sword. he takes the time to go and find diamonds for will because he doesn’t want will to feel left out because he doesn’t have a cool diamond sword. will insists that it’s fine and that he doesn’t need a sword, but mike makes him one anyway. mike also helps will build a coolass wizard tower for himself.  when the party first goes to the nether, they’re uncomfortably reminded of the upside-down/vecna’s mindscape. also will thinks the ghasts are adorable. max is throwing hands with the zombie pig men.  max bullies the villagers because their prices are “way too high”. el tries to befriend the villagers. max bullies the villagers because theyre being “rude” to el.

New chapter is up! Sorry for the wait c:

I gotta look to see who wanted me to tag them but here’s the post for now :D!

Tagging:

@booksandpaperss It’s finally up! I saw you rebloged my other post talking about it and I felt so bad when I saw you tagged it thinking the chapter was up 😭😭 I’m so sorry for the false hope! But it’s here now

@dictionarydyke here it is c:

@sorry-i-panicked I couldn’t find if you asked me to tag you or not but I figured you’d like to know c:

[thebestfriendstoloverstrope]

i'm so terrible at finishing fanfics but i really just want a coffee shop/college byler au where will is, just, the cutest barista, and all the girls flock to the coffee shop bc he's just adorable AND makes such cute custom latte art upon request!! and mike (who saw FIRST, thank you very much, he's been pining over will ever since he passed him in the student center on the first day of the semester, and quite frankly fate is on his side when it helped mike find him again at his favorite coffee shop) stews in jealousy while making heart eyes at will from his little corner of the coffee shop, but his heart stays hopeful because 1) will always seems vaguely uncomfortable by all the fawning from the girls, and 2) will always makes pretty latte art for mike without mike even having to ask 🥺

Subject: Re: How’s Lenora?

“Dear Mike,

It’s so great to hear from you! But, I wonder when you will finally get a phone so we can text instead of email?Anyway, I’m so glad to hear that you’re doing fine and that things are okay in Hawkins. I’m doing fine too! Actually, even better than fine. Lenora is not as bad as I thought it would be. I think El and I might actually be able to settle in and have a normal life here. So yeah, to answer your question Lenora is looking good so far! We’ve barely moved in, though. Still have a bunch of boxes to unpack and organize. Good to know that you’re looking forward to high school. I am too! I miss you El and I both miss you very much! We can’t wait for you to visit. We’ve seen so many cool things that we can do for fun when you come!

I love that you’re finally getting more into music. I know you love synth so even though I obviously don’t listen to that genre myself, here are a list of songs I think you’d like:

- Selfless by The Strokes

- Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus by The Strokes

- Stargazing by The Neighbourhood

- Rose by Inner Wave

- Is It True by Tame Impala

- Little Dark Age by MGMT

- Me and Michael by MGMT All of MGMT’s songs!

- Deep Dream by STRFKR

- Boys Don’t Cry by The Cure

- Italo Disco by Last Dinosaurs

- Chances by The Strokes

- Bad Habit by Steve Lacey (I heard this song on the radio recently!)

I have a couple more. Just give the other ones a listen first and let me know what you think. If you like them, I’ll suggest the others to you :) I have to go now, but I hope you have a great day and I can’t wait to hear back from you bye!

Love From,

Will”

[hosthoneysstuff]

If Stranger Things Characters had Instagram Profiles

I was a lil bored so I made a bunch of insta profiles for the core six 🫡

Max

2. Lucas

3. Eleven

4. Will (my personal fav!)

5. Dustin

Last but not least… 6. Mike

This is basically just a modern/social media au so here are some random hc’s I have

Most of them would probably just shitpost (esp Mike ☠️)

Eleven barely has a clue on how to use social media but she’s definitely trying

Max and Mike def listen to Playboi Carti (Idk how this is really related bro it just makes sense LMAOO)

Will & Dustin mostly just use their Insta to promote their stuff (respect the hustle!!)

Lucas gained a lot of his insta followers after his score at the basketball game

Ive literally never posted on here b4 but I hope u like these 🫣

[apotheosisyphean]

im not truly obsessed with a piece of media until ive made band au content for it

[sinclairstarz]

the party’s modern au letterboxd accounts

posting these without all the extra bullshit. still go watch They Cloned Tyrone its on netflix John Boyega’s in it it’s amazing

[astrobei]

take a little moment (find the right words)

“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.” “Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.” “Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?” “Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”

Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.
