    Summary

    "I know what you're thinking, and that you don't even want to hear it... But please, listen anyway. Rebecca Anderson was last seen Saturday evening and has not been seen since. Pictures of her will be hung up around your area, so please have a look and keep an eye out for her. If you hear or see anything, please call the police and report it. Anything can help."

    Will sighs as Robin holds her speech, pretty much the same one she's given every time someone went missing. Rebecca is the nineteenth person. Ironic, Will thinks. She went missing on the 19th of January 1989. He didn't know her and from the looks of it nobody else in this house did. It's a horrible relief. One that leaves them feeling reproachable.

    A complete Stranger Things Season 5 rewrite (byler focused).

    Summary

    A different kind of understanding begins to expand in Will’s middle, disconcerting and terrible. Something that no person should feel, ever. Something that he feels regardless. A fucking certainty that being killed would be better than whatever comes next. Because the killer presses his knife to Will’s throat once more, fits it into his open wound in an act that could read as mockery, or a slow, torturous continuation, but when Will winces, nothing happens. The silence kills him, hurts him and revives him all in one toxic cycle. Then, the knife is pulled back… Sheathed again.

    And the killer reaches for Will’s hands… slow… languid… the time’s on his side and the Byers house is not alive.

    He grabs them. Laces their fingers and moves them above Will’s head. It stretches Will’s body off the stairs--

    And in, the killer leans, and in a distorted voice, whispers--

    “I can love you, Will.”

    Thirteen vicious murders in Hawkins almost lead to a fourteenth. Will was supposed to die on that night. He interested the killer for reasons that are hardly as simple as they're made to seem, and the story of why Mike wants Will has its roots in what happens when love and obsession meet.

    Summary

    Will nodded quietly. Normally the idea of getting close to someone new terrified him, but there was something about that boy that pulled at him. Something beyond curiosity. For some reason, Will could see parts of himself reflected in him in ways he never really had with anyone else. So, against his better judgment, he decided to take the risk.

    “By the way... do you know D&D?”

    “Dungeons & Dragons?” the other boy asked “I’ve heard of it, but I don’t really know much about it.”

    “Oh. Right.” Will immediately looked down, embarrassed.

    “But,” he interrupted quickly, “I’d like to learn. If you wanna teach me.”

    And suddenly, Will found himself thinking about how strange life could be. Because just when he thought his world would stay exactly the same forever... He might actually be making a new friend. And for once, there were no supernatural monsters involved.

    Or:

    In the summer of 1985, Will Byers makes a new friend, one that is more like him than he could've imagined. This friendship might change a lot of things about how he sees himself and the world around him. Mike is not exactly thrilled about the idea, but he may learn some important things along the way.

    Summary

    "What are you doing here?" Will says, sounding exactly as he intended. Not welcoming, sharp.

    Mike's face is confused, but the emotion quickly fades to something formless, empty, as if Will had cut away all the bullshit Mike had been preparing for him with one question. Mike takes another step forward.

    "What, I can't visit my friend anymore?"

    Shameless jerk.

    "Yeah, right…” Will smiles bitterly, the rage in his chest warming his body, tearing him away from the porch. He takes two relaxed steps toward the dark-haired man. He can see how this has caught him off guard. "Because you needed me so much these past four months."

    ***

    Will goes to Montauk for his winter break.

    And unfortunately for him somehow Mike is here too.

    Summary

    "No," Will said quickly. "It's okay. He's going to be okay."

    Nancy turned, the shock freezing her features into something horrifying. "He doesn't have a pulse."

    Will held up his hands as he shook his head. "I know. But it—he—will be fine. You'll see."

    Nancy choked on a sob. "He's dead! How is he going to be okay?"

    Or: Four years after graduation, they're back in the Abyss, where a failing fight leads to Mike being bitten and losing everything about himself, except his love for Will Byers.
