hi! just asking if youre going to update when i kissed the teacher soon lmao. i love that story.

sorry for not responding to this for like forever but i wanted to wait until i had good news to share! and i can finally confidently say, i will have an update in the next day or two!

i made some significant changes to chapter 7 to accommodate my new plans and to better pace things with their relationship and sexual exploration and that has renewed my excitement.

the next chapter is already 5000 words and counting bc of smut. hopefully it will help make up for my absence, haha

i've always loved this story and intended to come back once real life slowed down, so thanks for your patience. i hope some folks will still read it even though it's been what feels like ages.

hey vinny! very excited about your upcoming fics, I love your writing 🫶

in the meanwhile, do you have any fic recs?

Went through my bookmarks and the bookmarks of a few authors I like, picked at random, went on a clicking journey, and made this list. I know there are tons more good fics out there I am missing 🥰🥰 And there were a lot of fics I recognized on my clicking journey but don't remember since I haven't read them in a while so I didn't list. Anyway, in no particular order:

❤️E asking too much (kissingpractice) - My fave college AU in the midnight hour (wisehearted) - Beautiful drunk Byler. They are perfect perfect 🥵 Probably my fave Byler fic. time is a perception, love will cure depression (alternatedoom) - This is SteveWill but it's my fave Stranger Things E rated fic.

hi spicy byler tumblr!! I have painstakingly compiled a list of some of my favorite spicy byler fics and authors. this is all so incredibly subjective to me and my taste but I do like to think I have absolutely stellar taste so take that as you will hehe. all the love in the world to anyone who wrote any of these fics!! here is the link to my absolute pride and joy, my notion page of good smut:

tagging some lovely spicy byler creators and authors for some love as well!!

@problematicbyler @wisehearts @id-rather-be-home @jaseywolfhard @mirroringme @willbyershandmoles @souverian-are-we @kissingpractise @bylerfields @weebowill @castlebyersafterdark @spicybylerpolls @starsarefire824 @pluralbyler @moleaboveyourlip

mature/explicit byler fic recs??? 👁👄👁

hi nonni!!

quick disclaimer that if ur not comfortable / not ready to explore this type of content u can just scroll past this post. I'll hide fics under the cut.

let start with explicit

"Pink in the Night" by yamilumen. Winter break after first semester of college. Will is drunk, and Mike takes care of him. The morning after, they must face the consequences. TW for dubcon ig. One of the first that I read and still one of my faves. looove byler dynamic in this one.

"in the midnight hour" by @wisehearts. He takes note of the way Will paws at his dress shirt, needy and not entirely aggressive, pressing into kisses in a way that feels like he’s asking for more rather than taking it. Persistent, but pliable if you touched him right. Red wine was fucking magic when it came to Will Byers. if u want smth sweet and hot.

"Hands" by midnighteverlark aka The Parent of byler smut. Mike doesn't like his appearance. Will wants to help out with that.

"A caged bird stands on the grave of dreams" series by AabH. Slavery AU. TW for a lot of violence and abuse.

"the feminization of michael wheeler" by one and the only lawofmurphie. how a bundle of lace and a lifelong crush distract mike from the inevitable implosion of his family unit as he knows it. not only really really hot but also great mike character study. it's more about mike's desires and acceptance at first and u have to wait till byler a bit but it won't disappoint u i promise!

"Conceived in Sin" by eternalwinters, floralsun, keeksbyers. In which Will Byers has a reputation as a bit of a prude. But Mike Wheeler, a guitarist with distinctly the opposite sort of reputation, can't seem to stop thinking about him. good boy/bad boy au we all is lacking.

"i'm starving, darlin'" by id_rather_be_home. Mike and Will are sexually frustrated eighteen-year-olds, sick and tired of having absolutely no privacy in their homes. The hand-jobs and the blow-jobs are fun but Mike will go crazy if Will isn't able to fuck him again before they leave for college in five more months. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

the whole section with my favourite trope "we pretend like it's nothing but it's actually everything". I love every fic Dearly and I would recommend to start with one of this :)

"the thing about illicit affairs" by problematicbyler. Will and Mike become friends with benefits. Which is a totally reasonable arrangement that they’re both completely content with, obviously.

"Privacy" by BottomWillByers. Dustin and Lucas were on night watch so it’s just him and Mike in the room. Having fallen asleep early, both tired from the supply run they were on earlier today, Will passed out as soon as his head hit the pillow only to be woken up a couple of hours later to pressure on his ass. It took a moment to orientate himself. Used to waking up to noise and vibration but not touch. He was pressed up tight to the wall like usual, which usually gave him inches of space between himself and Mike. But not right now. Because Mike had scootched across the bed and was spooning Will from behind. His bare chest pressed alongside Wills exposed back, one arm slung over his waist as he mumbled into the back of his head. Will’s about to ask Mike what was going on when he felt it. The consistent thrusting of Mike’s hips against the swell of his bum. His words die in his mouth as he registered that Mike was asleep. Soft moans spilled from his lips and the hard pressure of his dick stuttered against Will.

"After Hours" by pterafractal. A recently out Will Byers begins his freshman year at Indiana University, with his childhood best friend (and roommate) Mike Wheeler. Between learning to navigate the campus and keep his head above water academically, Will struggles to reconcile changes in his relationship with Mike.

"The Open Door" by Mylesime. He’s too close, too handsome, too real. And Will wants to cry because the shield has almost completely collapsed. “Mike,” he says or begs, he doesn’t know. Mike stares at him and he has never looked so serious. “I really want to do this with you.” The shield breaks. Will feels his mana bar diminish by hundreds of points. He's out of it. It will take weeks to recharge, months even. “Now?” he wails and he hates how frail he’s sounding.

"Pressure Points" by honeytart. College roommates Mike and Will begin a friends with benefits arrangement with one very important rule—absolutely no kissing.

"asking too much" by kissingpractice. Will is struggling. Guys who are nice, hot, AND good in bed are apparently non-existent at their university. Frustrated, he complains to Mike - who makes him an offer he can't refuse. Unfortunately, there's always an aftermath to hooking up with your best friend. Meanwhile, Mike has some realisations.

and mature for anyone who is not ready to deep dive yet

"Touch Me Like You Know Me" by @starsarefire824. Mike doesn't go home anymore, not unless absolutely necessary. Instead, he stays far away from Hawkins, quietly shutting himself off from the world, and burying the pain of the things he never said to the boy he'd left behind. But when his mother convinces him to return home for his thirty-fifth birthday, Mike is finally forced to confront just how much he'd given up when he runs into Will by accident. Mike-centric. Estranged Byler reconnection fic. Soft and Sweet.

"Broken Wings" by Turning_tides. Mike returns to Hawkins after his freshman year of college, riddled with regret and eager to make up for the biggest mistake of his life - hurting Will. He quickly learns, however, that his estranged best friend is being kept behind a locked door. A locked door named Keith. Now, Mike finds himself in a race against time to locate the key, desperate to free the boy he loves from the prison his abuser created just for him. TW for abuse and drug addiction.

"the comforts that make us feel numb" by @newlesbianprideflag “No, but really. If I were a girl,” Mike presses on, looking up at Will with red-rimmed eyes through dark lashes. Leaning in. Somehow, fully unaware that this line of questioning has Will's heart climbing up to his throat. “Would you want to kiss me?” Will and Mike get high in the desert.

"any semblance of touch" by stella :) Mike’s still new to this whole smoking thing. Will has a few ideas.

"In Undertow" by olliecoddle. four months after one byers/wheeler couple breaks up, another gets married. and, of course, will and mike are both the best men. and, of course, there is a plot to get them back together. nothing goes to plan.

***

there're a lot more then i thought ‪😭‬ there're genuinely so many good works. i could look for just one and stumbled upon three other I wanted to include in the list. and i think it's pretty obvious what kind of dynamics i prefer. anyway.

i hope u'll find smth new to u anon but if u won't u can drop ur fic recs in my inbox. love u <3

AI GENERATED THIS AND ITS GIVING “WHEN I KISSED THE TEACHER” BY PROBLEMATICBYLER ANABSHSBDBXJDJDJDJDJDJD IM SO OBSESSED

@problematicbyler

[bloomingbyler]

hiya rory! what are some tags or tropes that make you instantly wanna click a byler fic, whether it's sfw or spicy fics!

hi! sorry it took a while to get to answering, but i digress 😓

for generally sfw fics i love the ‘meeting again’ concept, both will and mike heading off to college and not seeing each other for years until they run into each other somewhere, whether it be a bar or even through a mutual friend and falling in love all over again…i also love a bit of angst, it adds flavor👌

as for nsfw/spicy fics, i love omegaverse because a lot of people have mixed feelings about it, but i feel like the smut is just so much more steamy in omegaverse fics 🤤 also (this may be considered proship or dead dove but anyway) i wont pass up a good age gap fic… 👀 a personal favorite for that is ‘when i kissed the teacher’ by @problematicbyler on ao3 🫶

[claire-de-lune]

can you read my story on ao3? my name is problematicbyler and the story is “too hot to handle”👉🏻👈🏻

why would you want me a Mileven, to read your fic? This is by far the most random ask I've ever received and thats saying something, since I've received the infamous sugardaddy asks. Why do you think id be interested in anything byler related?

You really are living up to your name aren't you? I guess every fandom has a problematic child always seeking drama, validation and looking to stir the pot because the people in their actual fandom aren't giving it to them.

bylers please come collect your trash

Milevens I’m posting this as a precaution because I know some of you are minors so beware of this rogue byler sending unsolicited smut.

[ki-flor]

can you read my story on ao3? my name is problematicbyler and the story is “too hot to handle”👉🏻👈🏻

Absolutely not. And It's weird how you're asking this to other accounts knowing that most aren't aware that it contains smut until they look it up. But what can I expect from someone with a username like yours.

Edit: I was informed that someone is sending this to bylers to start trouble but it's not the user named in this post.

[problematicbyler]

Dearest problematicbyler,

This is my humble request that you write a spicy trans!Will Byler fic to heal my Will-less existence 💔

xoxo, secret Valentine 💋

thank you secret valentine anon!

trans!will is high up there on my list of one-shots to write once i have time to devote to fanfic again, but that will be a little while, sadly

(i did get an ao3 update that one of my favorite byler smut writers just posted a trans will valentines day fic which i haven't read yet but i love this author so i'm sure it's great!)

[moleaboveyourlip]

Just realised I somehow forgot to include any @/problematicbyler 's fics even tho they're amazing so literally anything by them

Both !

Ok!! This is gonna be a long list so I hope you enjoy. These aren't in any particular order <3 if you want more just ask lolol (Also I'm assuming you mean just for Byler - These are all on AO3, I'll tag the author if I know their Tumblr)

Also for some reason only one link is working?? I have no idea why pls ignore that

Mike Wheeler is aimless as he starts his senior year at Hawkins High. No goals for the future, a girlfriend he knows he can never love, and friends with grand plans that don’t include him. When Will Byers—Mike’s old babysitter and his childhood crush—returns home from college to teach art and humanities in Hawkins, Mike finds himself facing some truths about himself he's been trying to ignore, as he relearns what it’s like to really want something—to want someone.
