Summary:
When a dark corruption spreads from the Deep Woods north of the kingdom of Roane, it falls to Will and his friends to investigate the cause. But as they close in on what seems to be the inevitable final confrontation with the Mad Wizard they have been fighting for years, Will finds his magic failing him as the darkness that scarred him during his first encounter with that very man finally overtakes him. Will stands no chance at stopping the demons that have been haunting him – after all how can he fight for a happy ending when he doesn’t believe he deserves one? - Or, Will learns to accept that his friends love him a whole lot more than he thinks they should.
It's finally time for me to post the Byler Fantasy AU I wrote for this years @bylerbigbang! You can read it here on Ao3, and then you can go check out @katimanki's wonderful art here and some additional pieces here!
Little snippet of ch.5 for Your Neck In My Teeth. Mike is going full-on aggressive mode for Will's attention. But also growth from cyberstalking yay!
This is perfect.

Still wondering how s3 mlvn's problems wouldn't even be an issue if Dustin had stayed to see how Mike and Lucas were acting when the girls dumped them. He would've easily told them the proper way to treat ya girl and clock the disrespect to Will's dnd wants. There would've never been a Wheelclair hurting Will's feelings in his wizard fit in the basement IF Dustin were there, cuz Dustin is not quiet when calling out bs
This the same boy who had smoke with Ted and did so locked and loaded. Dustin and Will matchup would humble some folks dearly
People who suggest getting breakfast together as a hangout plan are the kind of people you want to hang onto.
But wait, imagine if it was part of the Sailor Scouts. "Sailor Venus! Sailor Mercury! Sailor Jupiter! Sailor Mars!" all graceful and shit, and then fucking "Sailor George" shows up, the only man in the group with lots of fuzz on his body and a little beer belly, but still in the Sailor Scouts uniform. And, like, Tuxedo Mask feels like Sailor George is his rival for Sailor Moon's heart, but doesn't want everyone to know he's insecure even though it's obvious, and Sailor George just doesn't give a shit about anything.
so turns out the guy who discovered uranus originally wanted to name it “george”
just. imagine a planet called George
mercury venus earth mars jupiter saturn GEORGE
Michael Bay has gone too far this time!
Yes, I too hate when gravity turns my chocolate milk into orange juice.
thinking about the sort of haunted kinship between nancy and will. they always come out the most maladjusted in the group and only ever remember how to survive. they lost something. they grew up too fast. parts of them seem to have been lost to the upside down
nancy burns will with a hot poker and really, it shows what the upside down has done to both of them because it only happens because will is clawing his way through the horrors once more and nancy has sharpened herself enough to try and get it out of him violently
will clings to the tattered remains of his childhood and nancy burns the wreckage of her own
death breathes down both of their necks. they cant ever move on
will probably had a very interesting talk with mike later.
please tell me they went trick or treating in lenora
