Mike, What Did You Do? (the Curse of Strahd) by ByeDisaster
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
13 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Answering the question of "wtf did Mike do" (thanks tumblr) in the 18-months between S4 and S5 to make Will go from crying in the van, to thinking he has a shot.
The answer includes: touching, sleeping in the same bed, playing D&D but only the two of them, a haircut, and Mike casually calling Will beautiful. Best friend shit. Will Byers is toast.
---
“I look for the vampire.”Mike’s face is turned towards him. Will was looking at the ceiling, but he shifts, just enough, his nose points at Mike’s nose. His lips in a line from Mike’s lips. His mouth is slightly open on the pillow. “Do I find him?” Will prompts.
“Yeah,” Mike breathes. “He’s beautiful.”

conformitygate (directed by Wes Anderson) by ByeDisaster
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
07 Jan 2026

Summary
#conformitygate, started in the byler community, picked up and reported on by Forbes. I don't want the Duffers to do this. Let's pretend Wes Anderson directs this episode.
Mountains. A singular figure in a long wool coat, hair and scarf delirious from the wind. We only see his back. Yellow text above his thick brown hair.
#conformitygate
It holds until you sweat. You think he might have an earring. The text blinks out. We are framed again, closer. Will Byers staring over the hilltops, a Byronic hero. Mike in the background, out of focus, panting as he crests the hill. Holding his side, limping until he’s beside Will.
Yellow cursive: DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON

Summary
Updated to include a new take on the finale. I did not like Will coming out to a full ass committee, so here, he just comes out to Joyce and Mike. Later, Mike confesses his feelings.
“Have you thought of the consequences?” his dad. He has forgotten what his dad’s voice sounds like, not completely forgotten, that’s insane, but the sound surprises him.
“Consequences of what?” he screeches his chair. “Of what?”
Newspaper on his lap. “This boy. William.”
“Will, Dad. His name is Will.”
“Your lifestyle.”
Mike groans loud, presses his palms into his forehead. “I’m not gay!”
Nance’s tight-lipped smile. “Mike,” she says softly.

Summary
Fix-it, finale spoilers. The radio tower scene 11min in. Will concludes they're still friends.
In my version, they're not friends. They're more.
Nodding slowly, Wheeler murmurs, “You thought, I was going to ask to be more than friends. I just didn’t think it was a good time,” he’s holding the thermos. Will has just drank out of it, put his mouth on it, and Mike’s forefinger is tracing the open rim. “Not with everything going on with Tammy.”
Will’s lips are parted. “With Tammy?”

Finale was mid. Let's do better.
“Can we sit? We actually have lots of time now. No rush. And look, here’s a nurse, and they’ve clocked Kali. And now, see here, your beautiful sister with a martyrdom complex the size of three fucking waterfalls is getting an IV drip. Thank the lord and all his devils.” Holds up his hands in surrender. “I’m not throwing any stones. I know what it’s like. I love, love, love playing the hero. I love dying the hero.”
He’s sitting on the hospital bed, scrunching next to Kali. Gestures for El to sit on the bed opposite. “Dude, it does not have to end with you.”

Summary
Written pre-Vol 2. There's a rumour a character named Carlton is cast for the final episode, thus spurring a fear of Will with an "epilogue boyfriend" instead of Mike.
--
Will in a relationship with Carlton, but it's not all it seems."Byers doesn’t see it coming. He’s used to being rejected. Despite four years in a happy, he thinks it’s happy, relationship, he always feels like the boy who isn’t chosen.
“I love you,” Mike says. “I’m a bisexual?” he clarifies when Will says nothing.
Will’s fingers twitch back. He doesn’t mean to leave, it’s just that his feet take him to the sidewalk, and then the park, and then back to the apartment. He sits on the couch and stares at the wall. Slowly, his head into his hands. Then he screams."

Arcane Season 3: New Blood, New Bones by ByeDisaster
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021), League of Legends
22 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Arcane Season 3 if the writers lived and breathed Jayvik. Inspiration from Fortiche’s “Welcome to Noxus” cinematic.
“But I couldn’t tell Jayce that kissing the back of my hand, so cautiously, so gently, made me feel like I was eating. Or I was hungry. And I hadn’t eaten like a person, a human, in months, a year. And I didn’t want to test how much restraint I expected I didn’t have. It was easier, instead, to give Jayce the right answer. The answer that made me believe I was being good."
Viktor kills another version of Jayce to save his partner, while untangling the fractured pieces of his identity. There will be another evolution.
Mel Medarda is the wolf in Noxus, locked in a deadly game versus the witch, Leblanc. She'll need Jayce, and surprisingly, Viktor's help to win.
Jayce Talis just wants his partner back.

Tags
Summary
Eddie flirts with an angel, makes a new religion. Returns with a curse.
"Kisses him with roaming hands, squeezing his ass. Moaning into his lips. He’s bending him, scooting him back across the desk. Knee up, between Steve’s legs, scraping off papers, pens clattering to the plastic floor.
Harrington looks up at him, lain back like a princess. He’s so close his eyes are slightly crossed. “Eight out of ten, very nice,” Steve says. Staples a paper to Munson’s forehead."

Summary
Eddie is Steve's guardian angel.
"Harrington isn’t surprised anymore when he shows up.
“Don’t wish you were never born,” Munson says, as if they’re mid-conversation; bumping his shoulder. “Then I have to show you Dustin’s sad mom, and Will’s real bad, because Mike’s not around. Lucas isn’t doing so hot. Then, of course, neither is Max. The whole town needs you, in some way. This shit ripples out like dominos. And not like the pizza. The game of dominos. God, took me a while to learn the difference. I thought people were trying to stand pizzas upright, and I was confused for like years.”
“What are you?” Steve asks.”

Summary
Break-it fic. Written pre-Vol 2. The worst happens. Darkest timeline.
"Panting, running, hurting, (an image of Eddie), arms pumping, (Will holding Jonathan), he’s passed the trip wire. There are bats twitching on the ground. He stares at one, not really understanding, as it hops around without its wings.
There. He sees the wing a foot away. The demobat flops towards it, as if it’s going to reattach itself. It can’t. It can’t. The damage is done.
Dustin walks through the carnage, slipping a little on the black fluid (he doesn’t call it blood). He’s got to find Steve."

Jayce (number 0516) in Stillwater prison. He is used for pit fighting, the guards taking bets.
"Tried to look at his sponsor, submissive, through his long hair. His sponsor’s eyes made 0516 rub his wrists, digging the fingernail over and over, until it bled in the shape of an upside-down shepherd’s crook. Favourite shape. He didn’t like to disappoint. He didn’t know if he liked or disliked his sponsor, but sometimes, rare times, special times, he told 0516 he did a good job."
Viktor buys Jayce to be part of his work with Doctor Reveck. When watching Jayce as an experiment becomes too painful, they escape.

Summary
Eddie is captured as a boy, becomes a pirate captain. Steve Harrington, his first mate. They adopt a child together.
"Salt on his lips; wind in his hair, long, grown out. Grown up. Earring for fun.
A month prior they had given Wayne a proper burial. It had taken young Eddie a full calendar before he learned the buccaneer’s Christian name (everyone calling him Cap’n), and he had thought Wayne ridiculous. A farmer’s name for a pirate.
Wayne had slipped under the waves soft, like sleeping. Tied with a weight so he wouldn’t bloat and bob back up. Gold coins in his pocket, one from each of the crew."

Summary
Steve's clothes have been going missing. He's been getting nightmares of a man sitting on his chest.
Harrington is too embarrassed to tell anyone, so he investigates alone, shirtless.
"The string cut into his wrist, and Steve was awake. Flinging himself up. Why hadn’t he worn a shirt? Window open, freezing, nipples, goddamn nipples out, he felt exposed. He stretched to scoop the baseball bat off the floor one-handed.
Hadn’t thought past this part. The string was still tied to the window. The window was now open. Something had opened it. And Harrington was now picking at the string’s knot. He hadn’t brought scissors. Oh god, he wasn’t a planner. His plan was un-planning itself before his eyes."

Actor AU: Scripted by ByeDisaster
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021), League of Legends
12 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Actor AU Inspired by Fortiche's BTS photos.
Alistair Rodriguez (playing Jayce) is the first transman to headline a Marvel movie. Lor Melnyk (Viktor) is known for his experimental dance/theatre work.
The actors wonder if Jayce and Viktor hooked up during the seven year time skip. If they did, shouldn't they also try, for work?
"He cupped Lor’s jaw, appraising. Sidled forward, hips against the ridge of the counter. Then he kissed his partner. Scene partner. Tasted him. Head spinning, because it didn’t quite feel real. Of course, his actor brain was cataloguing, filing, remembering. He needed to catch this feeling. Use it. For work."

Summary
Eddie has come back from the Upside Down different. He needs Steve to test if he's a monster.
"Munson had died in the Upside Down. Saw god, decided to still be an atheist for shits. Crawled, dragging himself after they had left his body. Wandering until he found a gate. Told everyone he was fine. Tried to look fine, because he didn’t want them to throw him back. If he was brave, ironically, the best thing he could do now was run."
