Will has powers fic list (pt 1?)

in celebration of will's birthday, here's some of my favorite fics where he has powers! a lot of these fall under s5 speculation (and all of them have byler). Also this is a pretty popular category so there may be future parts coming later!

i'm gonna wade out past the shadows by bluebears

There were vines growing underneath his bed and no one else could see them. It sounded crazy, he’d been to enough therapy to know that. But there was no other explanation. Just last Tuesday, Dustin had climbed under there to reach his pen and when he popped back out he was completely oblivious to it. Almost as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Notes: this fic has amazing prose! and very in-character dialogue. Highly recommend this fic as well as the other longer one by this author. The plot takes a bit of effort to decipher but it's definitely worth it! This is a super interesting interpretation of will's powers and fits him very much.

There Is A Season by ghostlin

After Vecna's curse is unleashed onto Hawkins, the town has been placed under government lockdown as the contagion continues to spread. Everyone’s been forced to the margins as they try to pick up the pieces. Maybe it's the swirling spores in the atmosphere or the grief that seems to linger everywhere, but it feels like everyone's haunted by something. Everyone except Mike, that is. He's the heart, right? He's keeping it together. He's the only one acting normal.

Notes: One of the only Mike POV fics in this list! Mike and Will's relationship is so well done here. Featuring reconnection, dramatics, and perhaps a rain fight.

without heart by aceoflanterns

“Here we go again,” he murmurs, words pressed thin. Mike hears him, just barely, and bumps Will’s shoulder with his own reassuringly. “Home, sweet home,” he whispers. “Bet you didn’t think you’d be back so soon, huh?” Will chuckles. “You could say that.” At twelve forty-seven, Will Byers makes it back to Hawkins. At twelve forty-eight, a clock chimes. Welcome home, something sings, voice scraping low and familiar, and he shivers. or, will byers, the upside down, and teenage love... sort of.

Notes: This author writes so beautifully! some of the lines from this fic are still stuck in my head because it's so well-done. I LOVE fics that explore will's relationship with the Mind Flayer and the author does this perfectly.

You are the Heart by TouchTheSky

It's two weeks after the fall of Hawkins and the Party are trying to figure out how to move on, find Max and stop Vecna. Will's heart is still breaking over Mike and El, but when those emotions awaken something decidedly more otherworldly and powerful he, and a strange new friend, have to confront what really happened in Hawkins on November 6th 1983 and what side Will himself is really on.

Notes: I would be so happy if s5 was like this! The author has a super unique (and probably my favorite) take on Will's powers and the Mind Flayer. Plus there's great moments from the entire cast. I stayed up all night when I read this it was so good!

riders on the storm by orphan_account

Will brings his fingertips to his nose and sniffs deeply. That tangy, metallic smell… so familiar by now. He can practically feel the sharks circling him, except they’re not sharks, they’re beasts with clammy, cold limbs and flower-shaped faces and far, far too many rows of teeth. There is blood dripping from his nose.

Notes: this had a super interesting exploration into will's mind powers. this is a little sad and will's relationships are very complicated (especially with mike) but i really liked willel's friendship in this!

Stranger Things re-telling, but make it byler.

5/5 fics (entire series completed)

Notes: this is super duper long but 100% worth it!! Especially the last fic in the series (season 5), where the author also has written a script. Super great writing and interpretation of the show.

just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away by fizzseed

Mike doesn’t like this. He doesn’t like this at all. “What’s wrong?” he asks. Will takes a deep breath. “You’re not going to like it,” he says wryly. El’s hand closes around Mike’s wrist, and Will’s eyes flicker quickly to it before he looks back up at them. He glances over to Jonathan, too. Joyce brings her arm up around his shoulders. “I think I know how to get him,” Will says. “Vecna, I mean.”

OR Mike breaks up with his girlfriend, helps save the world, and comes out. Not necessarily in that order.

Notes: this is one of the first stranger things fics i've read, and still one of my favorites!

If Byler doesn't become canon I will delete my tumblr

Not bc I ship it, but because the site will become unusable

The fact that I just installed tumblr just because of this video because there are alot of byler thing in this app, and just to share how right is the lawyer, and how crazy is to have a LAWYER on our side😭😭🤞🏻

they are ugly though. there is no way they didn't know schapp is a zionist. he gets part of the proceeds from those photo ops--they chose to put money in the pocket of a genocide supporter. they prioritized their love of a fictional ship over the lives of real people. they're like people who still insist on being harry potter fans. they're selfish and they have blood on their hands.

I don't know how to change your opinion, but what I can share is my world view.

EVERYONE BELIEVES THEY ARE A GOOD PERSON OR IS TRYING TO BE A BETTER PERSON THAN THEY ARE NOW

ig the reason I'm even responding is because I feel like nuance is being lost, I believe that just because not everyone is living their life always making every decision based off of Palestine doesn't make them a bad person. That's who this is about, I can have as much of a nuanced opinion of Noah Schnapp as I want, but those two people who are being insulted? they didn't ask for that.

If your first question to people is, do you support genocide? and not something like what tv shows do you like? maybe it's less about defending a VERY IMPORTANT LIFE SHATTERING GENOCIDE and more about feeling morally superior than people because they like a gay ship in fandom.

And yes maybe it is selfish, but everyone seeks self fulfillment first and foremost after any other basic needs, why doesnt every Zionist donate all their money to Israel? why doesn't every Palestine supporter donate all their income to Gaza? why is that money more important than the billions going to Israel for more weapons that could be going to Gaza for humanitarian aid instead? Like I said we should call out these behaviors but we should also try and educate rather than insult, and focus on where there needs to be an impact most. Which I can assure you is not the st fandom.

How much can one person do? Harm, help, doesn't matter, if they aren't a part of something bigger than themselves, nothing. Supporting a group as an individual brings about a sense of community, so being in a community can become supporting a particular group. If you are influenced by certain communities the things you believe in are gonna be different.

A good person supports their community right? If your community is yelling and screaming that an injustice was done against them wouldn't you support them? They wouldn't LIE or have other motivations.

This isn't an excuse for anyone's opinions, everyone is their own person who could educate themselves.

also I won't say that Schnapp doesn't deserve to be paid (???) for the work he does? You could be anything and you should still be able to be paid for your labor no matter your opinions.

Finn Wolfhard gives me so much gender envy I don’t even know how I’m alive rn

I like the idea of M22gate being the name for the teaser coming out on wills birthday.

It reminds me of Mileven (like M11 yknow) except we're doubling down against the haters

Guys...

We need to talk about those leaks.
