[queerxqueen]

Since we're all crazy together, I urgently need to ask... Do you think there's a pattern for when we can expect 'crumbs'? I mean, how was it when they filmed 4th season? How often were BTS, 'paparazzi,' etc.? I'm currently going through a fan breakdown, daily awaiting BTS and updates, so I need SOMETHING 💛😭💙

sooooo there's no pattern to it for certain, but i will say for season 4 there were a crazy amount of leaks as it got closer to release, especially regarding some of the bigger set pieces with lots of people involved (for example, the rinkomania scene was leaked pretty accurately because of the number of extras on set).

we're already starting to see set pictures, both released by the duffers/stranger things accounts and from fans/paparazzi. and filming is set to last a full year so we could be getting little crumbs very frequently over the course of the year.

as for juicier leaks about content, there's no telling what will come out, and there's no telling if what does come out will be true or from trustworthy sources. in general with leaks and spoilers i only trust things i can see with my own eyes, so basically, set pictures.

stay strong, my fellow byler! we might get only tiny crumbs for the next year but i rest easy knowing the byler kiss is scripted somewhere out there <3

Alone Together

by FeatherForARose

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Archive Warning: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationship: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson, Minor or Background Relationship(s) Character: Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Robin Buckley, Nancy Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Suzie Bingham, Argyle (Stranger Things), Jonathan Byers, Eleven | Jane Hopper, Maxine "Max" Mayfield, Lucas Sinclair, Will Byers, Mike Wheeler Additional Tags: Minor Robin Buckley/Nancy Wheeler, Minor Will Byers/Mike Wheeler, Minor Suzie Bingham/Dustin Henderson, Minor Argyle/Jonathan Byers, Minor Eleven | Jane Hopper/Maxine "Max" Mayfield/Lucas Sinclair, fruitier than fruit cake, all the holiday fluff, SO MUCH FLUFF, Christmas Fluff, Mike Wheeler is a Little Shit, and i stand by that tag, But I also love him so I gift him Byler, Pining, Mutual Pining, but steve doesn't know it because he's dumb, Misunderstandings, Slow Burn, Friends to Lovers, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Sort of? - Freeform, Didn't Know They Were Dating, "Just Friends", The quotes are heavy on that, Bad Puns, blame eddie for that Words: 23,979 Chapters: 11/11

Summary

Steve and Eddie make a pact to be each other’s holiday date (“just friends”) for every coupley thing the party has planned because really, love is the only thing that can make ice skating (falling on your ass multiple times), freezing in the snow, burning cookies, and more seem like a good time. But at least they can suffer together… or maybe not even suffer at all. (Updating daily until Christmas... if not... I'm a horrible terrible liar)

★ my name is mari ★ i'm a minor, i use she/her ★ i post bout jshk most of the time but i do like the heathers (prefer the movie but the musical slaps too), the hunger games universe and the folk of the air series, stranger things (fuck noah schnapp) ★ i usually listen to anything that i think sounds nice but i mainly listen to rihanna, taylor swift, britney spears, beabadoobe, laufey ★ i stan twice & ive (bias momo and rei) ★ i love winona ryder mention her name in a sentence and u have caught my attention ★ my ao3 ! ★ my byler fic recommendations ★ i love to talk to ppl and make friends so feel free if u wanna use my ask box or message me bc i do not mind <;3 ★ ps. if we r mutuals i might randomly leave in the middle of a convo bc somebody might be calling me or my device might die

── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅──

why am i doing all this?

well because, it's my passion. there's just something so special about posting about things i love and what i'm currently obsessed with, no matter how many likes i get. i also love eating churros, hanging out with my friends, listening to music, all that kind of stuff !! and sometimes while i'm in the midst of doing what i love, i get hurt sometimes. so i go to the doctor or if it's serious, i go to the hospital.

people in gaza who are my age, however, cannot do the same. they cannot follow their passions as they please. they cannot go to a hospital. since israeli forces have bombed their last hospital.

and not even just civilians who are my age. babies who are literally below 1 years old have been killed and are still getting killed, along with their mothers, fathers, siblings, entire bloodlines and loved ones. just sit there and imagine how losing one person you love would be. people in palestine lose people they love on a daily basis.

it's not antisemitic if you support gaza. many jews around the world support palestine. you don't have to be muslim, you don't have to be arab, hell you don't even need to be asian, you just need to be human and have some empathy.

please help support gaza by donating:

Hey Nonnie! 💛💙

We’re definitely all going crazy together - I’m rabid for any kind of S5 crumb we’re gonna get over the next few months! I think the tag will explode when we get the first BTS shot of Mike and Will…

I wish I could give you something useful, but this is actually my first rodeo with pre-season stuff! I joined the tag a few days after S4 volume 1 came out, I think 1st June 2022. I was part of the GA before that 👀

(Byler’s popularity absolutely skyrocketed during S4 - I joined at 7k, and just look how many of us there are now)

Anyway I hope there are others in the tag who can answer your questions. I would totally love to hear some insights on how often content was given when S4 was in production!

Nothing’s ever easy (to be honest, I’m not easy on myself)

By SilverShadow1

Will meant what he promised his mother. He wouldn’t wander off on his own again. But that doesn’t mean it’s not pressing in the back of his mind. The desire to return to the first place aside from Castle Byers where he felt truly at ease.

BYLERWEEN FAQ

Themes | Rules & Guidelines | Submissions & Posting

Note: this post may be edited and added to as we get closer to Bylerween and receive more questions. Up-to-date as of 09/29/2023.

Question: Where are the themes? Where are the prompts? Answer: Here. The more detailed prompts are under the read-more cut.

Q: How do I submit an entry to this event? A: It’s as simple as making a tumblr post and tagging us! Please see this post for more info.

Q: What counts as a "fanwork"? A: We are accepting more than just fanart and fanfiction. We invite you to be creative with your Bylerween entries! You can post artwork, fanfics, video edits, gifsets, moodboards, memes, analysis, playlists, whatever you can come up with—if it's creative, fits the themes, and follows the rules, it's fair game.

Q: Can I post one piece of fanwork that includes multiple prompts/themes? A: Yes. Feel free to use inspiration from just one, two, or all three themes for each day! When trying to determine which Day theme fits best for posting a fanwork that touches on multiple themes across multiple days, feel free to just use your best judgment and post on the day/theme that has a bigger part in the fic, or is the closest match.

Q: Do I need to use any of the themes? A: This answer is a "yes, but"! We tried to be thorough with all of our Bylerween themes to cover all things Halloween + Autumn, but if you think there's a theme that we missed, please let us know! You also have the freedom to stretch the themes a little bit. Theoretically, as long as it features Byler and Halloween, autumn, or horror/supernatural themes, you're good to go.

Q: Does [X] fit this theme day, or this theme day? Which day should I post? A: Use your discretion on which theme your fanwork best fits, and you can tag multiple themes. Post on the day that corresponds best to the most prominent theme in your fanwork (use your discretion)!

Q: Can I use an old fanwork I've already posted somewhere else as an entry for Bylerween? A: No. The point is to inspire a wave of new fanworks. We will be highlighting pre-Bylerween fics/artwork in the weeks leading up to Byler Halloween Week, and have a daily queue of older Byler posts running until the event.

Q: What is a Bylerween Rec, and how do I submit one? A: We want to highlight older fanfics before Bylerween officially starts! Beginning October 1st, you can send us asks recommending fics published before Bylerween that are relevant to our themes! Please see our post here for more information. We will tag these submissions #Bylerween Rec

Q: Can the fic I post be a prequel/sequel to/in the same universe as another one I've already posted? A: Yes! As long as it is a new work, fits one of our themes/prompts, and follows our rules and guidelines, you can post it for Bylerween.

Q: Can I post my Bylerween fanwork to other platforms (outside of Tumblr and AO3)? A: Yes.

Q: How do I post to the AO3 collection? A: See this article for a generic, step-by-step how-to. Our AO3 collection is here. Please wait until your fic's best-fit theme day to post!

Q: Do chaptered fics need to be posted all at once? A: No! Just make sure chapter one is posted on the designated theme day, feel free to update as you are able (take your time, or schedule posts, and there's no real obligation to finish).

Q: What if I don't finish my work in time? A: We will accept late entries until November 22nd, which is 3 weeks after bylerween ends. However, after the event ends on Nov 1st, we will not be updating the blog as frequently.

Q: Can our fanwork feature other non-Byler ships or other characters?/Can we post genfic? A: Yes, and please do! If you feature other ships, the work must be Byler-centric. If you're writing genfic, it does not need to be Byler-centric, but Byler must be in there somehow!

Q: Some of your trigger tags seem like they might be NSFW. Does this mean you'll accept NSFW fanworks? A: No. We will not be sharing any sexually explicit fanworks to this blog. It is not lost on us that horror themes are often intertwined with sensuality, and that sometimes sexual themes are subjectively interpreted. In such cases where the sexual nature of a fanwork is ambiguous, we (the Bylerween mods) will use our discretion to determine whether or not the work will be featured. If you want to be extra safe, you can send us a DM (if you prefer not to DM this blog, you can message either Ayla @howtobecomeadragon or Jo @wheelersboy privately) with specific details ahead of time. TL;DR no porn.

Q: Who made your graphics? Who designed your desktop theme? A: That would be Angel @light-lanterne :)

Q: Who made your icon? A: It's a bylerween exclusive made by the lovely Elz @bylrndgm <3

Q: Can I use AI to help create my fanwork? A: No, not at all. Absolutely not. Do not do this. Do not do this outside of Bylerween, either. :)

will byers is dead | byler au fic | chapter 3

“So, you gonna tell me who this Will guy is?”     Mike let his head fall back. Smoke leaked out one side of his mouth, and Eddie waved it away dismissively above him. “What?”     Eddie sank next to him, various chains and studs rattling, and he plucked the cigarette from Mike’s hand. Mike watched the white end of it disappear between Eddie’s lips. “You heard me, Wheeler. Will. The guys say you’re real torn up about him.”     Mike shrugged and put his eyes where they belonged; on the ground between his feet. “He’s my best friend.”     Eddie made a noise of acknowledgement through an exhale of smoke.     “He moved away,” Mike explained. “Two years ago.”     “Moved away, huh?” His tone was knowing, or at least it thought it was knowing. Eddie didn’t know shit about this. No one did. “He ever visit?”

read will byers is dead chapter 3 on ao3 word count: 8k status: in progress / biweekly updates synopsis: will byers drowned in 1983 after leaving his best friend's house. his mysterious death is mourned by his friends and family - all except for one person. his best friend, mike wheeler, refuses to believe in will's death. his belief is proven justified when he receives a call from will weeks after his supposed death. but will is not alive. his calls come from beyond the other side. will's miraculous calls become a daily occurrence for mike and mike alone. over the years, they attempt to grow up together even from their otherworldly distance. all is well for the first few years, but mike soon struggles to cope with the loss.

note:

hi friends!!! i'm back to writing fics since my union is currently striking, so i thought i'd repost my current fic, will byers is dead, now that i'm actively updating again!

this fic is truly my baby at the moment, so i would love if you read it and gave me your thoughts!

as i close in on the last few chapters of it, i'm also happy to take suggestions on what to write next.
