#sevenskates

⛸️ ❄️ figure skater will byers x hockey player mike wheeler 🏒🥅

the au I've been wanting to bring to life for so long now.. thank you winter olympics for the perfect excuse. I hope you guys see the vision bc I have more to draw for it, I think it suits them so much!!

figure skater will & his mindflayer costume 🥀

I've been dyinggg to finally draw this one! in this au I kind of headcanon that it's a recurring nightmare of his? this program involves moves that feel like running & making himself smaller 🥺

I went for the lightning storm as the details, and the lower half of the torso is meant to be that thin material where the skin shows through!

a kiss for good luck from #7's biggest fan ❤️‍🔥

from my figure skater will x hockey player mike au!! (I'm seeing this variant get called sevenskates/sevenspins now which is funnn)

+ close up:

some more of my figure skater x hockey player au!! ⛸️🏒 they both love watching each other on the ice, mesmerising in their own ways..

will's graceful, precise, flexible. mike wants him.

mike's passionate, strategic, rough. will wants him just as bad.

reblogs are appreciated :)

close ups under the cut:

please accept this figure skating cupcake in the meantime 🥹🥰

Please forgive me if this is rude but I'm pretty sure you gave Will hockey skates instead of figure skating ones. Was that intentional 👀👀

Will Byers figure skating au makes me feel like a dog who heard the words treat and walk in the same sentence. This is so precious to me 🙏🏻

And all of his costumes are just so *chef's kiss *

Especially the mind flayer one.

You've really captured that essence✨️✨️

Again I want to thank you for this because i got so so excited just knowing it exists!

Love your art :)

oop just getting to this and looking at the date of this ask I think you're referring to the mindflayer costume art? in which case no they're figure skates but sometimes I definitely sketch less detail or do generic shapes in my art so I understand if any look off HAHA

though in my AU will does have experience with hockey skates since he began doing hockey with the other boys (lonnie's influence), before discovering how much more he enjoys figure skating, soo 😝

Ooh I know I first realised how well the AU suited byler back in 2023, this post were my initial headcanons - some I finally drew here hehe! but it was the winter olympics this year where it hit me it was the perfect opportunity to finally explore it so I started designing the hockey jerseys and expanding some of the lore (yet to post some) 🤗

it's one of those AU's where it'd be so fun to explore as a fic but I just don't have the skills or knowledge to, so even as I get to my ideas slowly it's nice to visualise things that have been in my head for so long!!
