I don’t usually write reviews…but this fic was just to good!

First off, the characterization is just perfection, you can tell the author researched the characters before bringing them to life.

The fic is short, with only eight chapters but I can’t stop thinking about it!! It’s like the All The Young Dudes, but with much more happiness and comfort.

The way they wrote internalized homophobia was just beautiful, it showed how Mike was dealing with it and why he was the way he was. It also really shows how despite many loving Ted in Stranger Things, he’s a very absent father who is not supportive for his kids and how it affects the family.

Also…the build up! Was just perfection, I usually don’t re-read things I read but I might just to have the same feeling again of reading this masterpiece.

The author also says how English is not their first language, that’s how you know it’s Shakespeare level. I wish I could forget the story so I could read it again with a fresh mind!

And I can’t wait for there to be a Mikes perspective, hoping someone makes it soon!!

haven’t read a fic this good in a LONG time omg!!!
the author must have put crack in this cause it is intoxicatingggg- i’d forgotten this feeling of being sooo obsessed with a fanfiction it literally consumes you, and all you can do is continue reading. i truly did not want it to end (it could have been 500k words for all i care i would’ve eaten it up!!), because of how engrossed i was. anyway, now that it’s over the only thing i can do is keep thinking about it 24/7. i will not know peace until i know if byler is endgame or not. i will also not know peace if one of them tragically dies. i will also not know peace if mileven prevails. so in short, there’s not much chance i’ll know peace. but at least we will KNOWWWW

[fanfic so good and so long que lo tengo que poner en goodreads - You took my heart (i was sleeping) by lameparties]
It was like a hug and then a punch in the gut again and again and again. Reading this while byler is still a schrodinger ship feels nice, like it’s the last time I’ll know my boys like they really are, like they could be, before everything goes down. But we will always have the fanfics ig, and we win either way, if they are as good as this one.

I love them so much💙💛

“In his tired mind, Will realizes he’s never been held like this before. And maybe he never will be again. Maybe this is all he’ll ever get.”

1/14/26 - introduced my sister to this absolute masterpiece

[horraydn · Rating 5 out of 5]

My heart truly broke into a million pieces when watching the Stranger Things finale. This is because Byler is more to me than just a ship on a mainstream show. Will and Mikes connection is something I crave and the show gave me hope that wanting this type of relationship and closeness with someone who just gets you isn’t off the cards. Then I watched it and it broke me I cried for a solid couple of days thinking about what could have been. After reading this my heart is healed and I have a new found confidence in myself. This fic literally gave me everything I have ever wanted. For both my two favourite characters and for me in my life. It gave me hope that maybe there is a Mike out there for me you know. Thanks for writing one of my fav works of fiction and this will forever be my ending to their story. A story of suppression. A story of hurt. A story of unrelenting love.

I love you Mike and Will ❤️

(el resto está haciendo como q esto es el fic byler d lameparties así q voy a hacer lo mismo)

LOS AMO. M lo bebí literal, el slowburn, la tensión, cliché d una sola cama dios diossss. Mi aesteti favorito es no shippearlos mucho en la serie pero denme un fanfic bien escrito y bien representado and I'm kicking my feet!!! So so precious 💕💕

[lucy ♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Byler and this was amazing and I read this in like 3 hours but it was so long and I was so locked and I loved it

The tension is so well developed and you can literally feel the angst. I loved the way the narrator illustrates the scenes and how Will internally vocalizes his thoughts in a way that make them very easy to understand.

The ending was amazing 11/10 couldn't be better I did almost cry

This was a fic but it was relatively long and longer than Coraline which I read soooo I am counting it as a book 😇😇😇😇

[Natalie Freytag · Rating 5 out of 5]

oh my GOSH
1. thank you charlotte for forcing me to read this
2. thank you kate for reading part of it like an audiobook so i could make the byler manifestation potion
3. thank you to whoever put this on goodreads because it’s longer than the outsiders so i better be able to count it towards my reading goal
4. whatever happens tomorrow… at least this exists

[gia freeman · Rating 5 out of 5]
