November of 1993, Will gets a phone call letting him know a beloved person from Hawkins and suddenly passed. Despite not wanting to return, Will returns to Hawkins for a week and crashes with Mike before the funeral. Together the two tackle the trauma, grief, and unspoken conversations from their childhood. They rekindle their friendship, and maybe even something more. Later they are joined by the rest of the gang, and the the party, all grown up now, finally takes time to heal the wounds they left open for far too long.

Will and Carlton (his epilogue boyfriend) are together, but things are not going well because Carlton is abusive towards him. He finds himself feeling jealous of Mike, completely oblivious about the reason of why he feels like this. One evening Carlton crosses the line and Will escapes to the only person who makes him feel safe. From that evening, everything they tought about their frienship and about themselves, changes drastically. This is my first fanfic, so please no hate, suggestions are very appreciated! English is not my first language, I know nothing about how to write a story, I don't read books, and my "experience" comes only from fanfics but my mind is pretty creative. I honestly don't know what the hell you're going to read here, this story comes from my mind totaly bylering-out for the past months. If I continue like this I'll never finish this fic because I'll be locked-up in some mental hospital, tied to the ground in a white room. Anyway I think you will find some grammar errors, if you do please ignore them (but tell me so that I can correct them!). You're asking for lawless? Don't worry, you'll find it here! A hint of dirty things will happen on chapter 3, but the real lawless will come on chapters 5 and 6 (and maybe more, idk yet) ;) I had the idea of writing this because I got so inspired from the other fanfics I've read about Byler, and I wanted to write my own version. I'm trying to keep the characters as serie-related as I can. The story is set in February 1991, 2nd college year. They're both 19 and fully consent. How I love people +18 having sex, and being consent too. Also, I'm adding many references about the most famous byler "things", such as fanfics, canon events and others (like their songs, blue and yellow, excetera). I hope you will enjoy this, and if you do please tell me! Sending love to you all <3<3 and may Byler bless you 🔆🌀

Stranger Things - Alternate Ending. In a world torn open by fear and monsters, they sit at the edge of everything that broke. Not as heroes. Not as survivors. Just two boys who chose each other when the world offered nothing else. This is not the ending we were given. It's the one where love doesn't stay quiet. Where softness survives the apocalypse. Where the end of the world is faced together. -------------------------- This is a work of fanfiction based on Stranger Things. All characters, settings and original content belong to the creators of the show. I do not own any of it. This story is purely for fun and for sad byler fans like me.
