Me: I've been first of my country in fencing, I've gone through quarantine, I've survived Mike's monologue you shall not defeat me
The cursor blinking:
Me: *breaks down sobbing and crying*

As someone who loves to get immersed in fanfiction, I always feel drawn towards mlm ships because of the angst they bring to the table. I like male characters who are vulnerable. The way we just see them struggle with their feelings for each other and try to get past their emotional walls is just so compelling to me. It's like taking the red pill from the Matrix but it's two male characters who feel out of place in the narrative of the societal norm they've been put in and how they find that one person that gives them meaning. Men are stubborn when it comes to confessing what they truly want and that makes the drama just hit harder. I like healthy relationships but I want to see m/m relationships who are bad at feelings and who have to go through a boatload of pain before anything gets better. Because that is what paves the way for happiness and love in the future. Call me masochistic but I just love angst and pain with all my heart. I could read fanfics like that for hours and never get bored.

No fr like the Duffers should just let Mike have curly hair. The fanfic writers are so right on this one. Nobody will complain about inconsistency. Right guys? 🔫 We won't even mention it? It's okay, Duffers. Go ahead give the people what they want.

There’s something special about queer people making their own representation through fanfiction and just fandom in general . Sometimes, I can feel the author’s past traumas, and I feel so close to them through our shared experience of growing up queer.
It’s like “hey I’ve never met you, but we both had gone through the same thing, and we both turned to the same show for comfort.” Or like “hey I’m also working out my issues by projecting them into this character”. *highfive*
It’s funny because even with explicitly queer media, I rarely feel as seen as I do with fanfic.

A lot of 'eloquent writers' are not going to agree with me when I say this but; write however the fuck you want. Especially if it's for fun online, no one here is grading your shit. Yes it's a little different when it comes to original works you want to get published but fanfic? Nah no rules apply. Write in those run on sentences, fuck grammer, don't capitalize, word vomit your ideas into a google doc, fill those paragraphs up with words that barely make sense, just have fun with it. If it's nonsense it's nonsense but if it made you happy to write then that doesn't really matter does it?
Also, I fail to do this myself sometimes, but give yourself a break when it comes to writing. Your writing does not need to read like anyone else's, it's your writing. Everyone has their own 'voice' in writing and just because yours is different than someone else's doesn't make it any less.

hold and hurt and kiss me byler | no supernatural au | 14.9k words
It's been a week since the start of senior year. It's been 37 days since Mike last spoke to Will.
In a universe where the only horrors that persist are strictly mortal, Will finds himself stuck at a standstill while everything that's been lurking finally comes to head for Mike. The world can be a lonely place, but as long as they have each other they'll never really be alone.
it's hereee

you are sick (and you’re married) byler / 5.1k
“Will, I love you very much,” Max starts, “but there’s no way your weird little coffee shop freak has a girlfriend.”
“His name is Mike,” Will says, because he would know, because he’s the one that’s been writing Mike :) in sharpie on his to-go cups for the last six months, “and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. He has a wife.”
Will’s favorite regular comes in with a girl. Clearly, they’re married.
