Summary
“We need to get out of here!” Beach said to Anura, his volume rising with his panic.
“But how? This thing is blocking the way!” Anura exclaimed, gesturing to the stone-scavenger. Beach turned to look at it, hoping to look and find a way around it, but when he turned, he saw its limb heading toward them again. This time, however, there wasn’t enough time to move. Not even enough time to shove Anura out of the way. Instinctively, he wrapped his wings around Anura, squeezing his eyes shut as he prepared himself. He was about to die. He would be splattered on the wall of the cave with Anura. No. I can’t. I promised Harpy.
“Please, stop!” Beach yelled weakly, the only thing he could think to do. There was nothing else he could do. He held Anura tighter, feeling her own wings wrap tightly around him in return. This was it. The end of his journey.It turns out he wasn’t the hero.

Summary
Alex possesses magic, but he doesn't know it. What he does know is that the Valley is dying, and he still can't stand the local goth, Sebastian Sinclair. When the mysterious M. Rasmodius recruits them to develop dormant powers they hardly understand, however, cooperation becomes unavoidable. Restoring the land will take more than magic, and more than either one of them can manage alone.
In a timeline where there's no farmer to inherit Grandpa's Farm, Alex and Sebastian are tasked with magically restoring the Valley from decay - and perhaps learning something about themselves along the way.Bookmarked by CatTheHuman

Summary
NOVEMBER 6TH, 1986
In the three years since Will Byers went missing, the town of Hawkins has been under constant threat of the creatures from the Upside Down. But now, eight months after Vecna has ruptured a giant rift through the town of Hawkins, that threat is about to reemerge. Unaware of Vecna's true plans and trapped under a military quarantine, our heroes will not only be forced to face the greatest evil from the Upside Down, but also overcome impossible odds, in order to save the world, and each other, one last time.
Written in a SCREENPLAY format, this fic operates as a diverging conclusion for the final season of Stranger Things.
EDIT 6/21: Chapter 5 in progress!

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

Summary
"Vic..."
"Leave." It was a mere whisper. One so broken she was more begging her to do that than anything else. Because Vickie was afraid that if Robin didn't leave, and if she looked up and saw whatever emotions her eyes expressed now, she would just drown in them. And drowning was never fun.
Or: Robin goes through it. Vickie sees her pain, which hurts her even more. Eventually they find each other breaking down on the floor

Summary
The realisation felt like a slap in the face. He thought Will looked beautiful. No, not just beautiful- his feeling for Will was bigger than that. It wasn’t something he could describe in a single word.
He was Will.
He was Will. And Will was a boy. And Mike thought he was beautiful.A sound from Joyce broke the internal panic he had begun to feel. Holy shit now was not the time for whatever he was thinking. But he was thinking that- because that would mean he was. And he wasn’t like that. He was normal.
---A mostly canon compliant retelling of Season 5 from the perspective of Mike Wheeler, starting with S5 E4.
Now with an extra dose of yearning and internalised homophobia! Yippee

Summary
Will Byers was never found in 1983. Now it is 1987, and someone unexpected appears to take him home.
Will Byers was never found AU!
This takes place before/during season five. (Kinda a rewrite of season 5, too.) Also kinda Byler focused :)
Each chapter is named after a song, and I'm making a playlist with the songs for each chapter in order. This is the link: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4l3MR45RRoG4vVHnUx8p0Ojbs-i50L9g&si=QjjrXkJbubQHhrcZ
Happy (or not so happy wink* wink*) reading!

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Lucas doesn’t believe in coincidences. That much is a given.

He eventually starts picking up on things he’s always been skeptical of
OR
Sometime during the 18 months, Lucas is finally choosing to believe he’s in fact NOT crazy and that Mike Wheeler is exactly what Lucas has always thought he was (a homosexual)- Language:
