Byclair

Byclair is the slash ship between Will Byers and Lucas Sinclair from the Stranger Things fandom.

Canon
Season 1, episode 1, we're introduced to the party in the middle of a D&D campaign. During victorious celebration, Lucas and Will throw their arms out to each other, Will excitedly tapping Lucas' back as they hug, something Will only does with Lucas.

After Will goes missing, Lucas is panicked along with the rest of the party. Lucas is particularly adamant that El is wasting time that could be spent looking for Will. His annoyance at the attention Eleven was getting that he perceived as lessening their chances of finding Will grew as the season went on; he ended up going to look for Will by himself, feeling like the others weren't invested enough in finding their friend.

After Will is found, Lucas was sleeping in a hospital chair when Mike rushed in to tell them Will was awake, presumably having waited a long time. He ran to Will's room, hugging him excitedly.

Season 2, on Halloween, the party dresses up as the Ghostbusters, meeting at the school. Mike, Dustin and Lucas sing the Ghostbusters theme as they put their bikes on the racks, Will joined in as he was dropped off. Will yells "Venkman!", who both Mike and Lucas were dressed up as, pointing at Lucas before hugging him, tapping his back. Mike then complains that he was Venkman, that Lucas was supposed to be Winston. Lucas argues that he didn't agree to Winston, and Will backs him up.

After Will gets possessed by the Mind Flayer, he is largely cut off from the world, and the rest of Season 2 doesn't have much interaction between the two, but Lucas, along with the others, works to fight the Mind Flayer and save Will.

Season 3 also opens with scenes of Lucas and Will. At the beginning of Season 3, Mike had frequently left the party, often opting to spend time with El instead, and Dustin was at summer camp, so Will had spent most of his summer with Lucas and Max.

Their first scene together is the second scene of the season while they wait for Mike, who is late to the movies, again, for which they both complain. Lucas mocks Mike, making fun of him for ditching them to make out with El, and Will is the only one who laughs, Mike grumbling in annoyance and Max scolding Lucas. Lucas justifies himself with the fact that Will thinks he's funny, that being more important than the exasperation of Mike or Max.

After Dustin gets back from camp and the Party surprises him, he brings all of them to the highest point in Hawkins to meet his girlfriend (over radio). Mike and El leave, not even halfway up the hill, claiming El has curfew. Nobody buys it, Lucas and Will complain to Dustin about them, saying they've been like this all summer. Max is the only one who isn't annoyed by it. Will says it's gross, and Lucas nods in agreement.

Fanon
Within the fandom, the immense popularity of Byler overshadows many of the other ships with either Mike or Will. Even so, Byclair is decently well liked, particularly by multishippers. Many people like the art kid/jock dynamic of Byclair, and it's been argued countless times that Will would've gone to all of Lucas' basketball games.
