    Summary

    “Do you want to get smeared?”

    “What?”

    “Do you want to be an angel smeared with dirt?” asked the voice, devoid of emotion.

    All laughter was gone from Will’s face, and he frowned. “Okay, very funny. Who is this?”

    “Someone who knows that you leave your window open at night.”

    A transgressive story about codependency, mental disorders and counterculture set in a small midwestern town in the 90s.

    Features “Scream” and “Hellraiser”.

    Holy crap! This one is pretty intense. I absolutely love the author's writing style and this story is pretty unique esp in the Byler fandom. Super excited to see how it develops <3

    Summary

    “I don’t think that I belong in the world. I feel like a stranger so much of the time. There’s something that divides me, something I don’t understand, but it’s always been there.”

    Or: Will Byers is stalked by an ancient presence that seeks to destroy the quaint town of Hawkins in its pursuit of him. A Will Byers-centric, gothic inspired S5 rewrite

    900-XXX-XXXX call 4 a good time <3

    "And what does God do?" The Reverend leans forward, gripping the edges of the pulpit. One hand raised towards the crowd, others reaching forward with pained expressions, lips moving in urgent whispers—pleading, begging, some of them crying.

    Mike watches them pray for salvation.

    They can’t all be saved.

    or;

    Will Byers is a phone sex operator, and Mike Wheeler is his favorite caller.

    Summary

    For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don't count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.

    It'll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

    Summary

    Once, there were no collars. Omegas lived as they pleased, not as prey.

    Will remembers that. Sometimes, he even remembers hope.

    Now there is only the hunt.

    If you're an omega, you run until your feet give out—or you're caught and broken.

    Will runs.

    I don't think I've ever seen a fic with this dynamic of fallen paladin Mike & omega warlock Will. Also Mike having some level of control over the demos is unique. Excited to learn more about the universe & see where this story goes :)
    (Also, love the art!)
