The Red Envelope #1
The Red Envelope
When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.
Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."
He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?

Oh haha yes I am going to add byler fanfic to my goodreads forever now
I genuinely don't understand how this is purely a fanfiction. I genuinely am star-struck by the sheer depth in the word choice of this work. The metaphors are crafted so perfectly and I was giggling and kicking my feet the whole time omg
Would recommend, i WILL be reading the sequel 🙌🏻

This had me hooked from the first line of reading Will’s letter to Mike. I love how the POVs are from both of them. My favorite part is when Mike writes back in the same way Will wrote to him. The meeting at castle Byers was perfect. This is cannon to me after season 5’s ending.
