    Summary

    Mike Wheeler keeps a diary that’s written in the POV of his Dungeons & Dragons character Mike the Brave after he gets flayed by Vecna and was outed via his crush on Will, so he uses it as a form of self-therapy and working through his own trauma and internalized-homophobia. However, that’s not all, as he’s begun to add more direct poems, songs, and letters for Will as he gains more self-esteem.

    Will Byers, who was afraid of this exact thing happening to himself, had come out to everyone just prior to saving them from Vecna. And with Mike’s tense familial issues arising shortly after the events of what happened because of it — he spared Mike a little by not addressing the crush directly so soon after, and gave him the space to come to terms with himself first.

    However, now a semester into College, they still have yet to talk despite being roommates together at NYU because of just how intense things had been the year prior. And one day Will finds Mike’s journal, thinking at first glance it was just short-stories of his D&D Character. Surely Mike wouldn’t mind, right?

    He reads all of it, and realizes it’s everything Mike has ever wanted to and has struggled to say to him.

    Summary

    Will picks up the book, gently, like he’s afraid of bending the spine. “This is the second one.” Will’s eyes light up as he says it. “I didn’t know it was out already.”

    “You-, you’ve read the first one?” Mike stutters out, still standing frozen by the dining table.

    Will laughs softly. His eyes move from the book to Mike’s face. Mike feels exposed in a way he hasn’t in a long time. “Read it? I loved it, Mike. It’s one of my favorite books ever. I’ve read it, like, three times.”

    Mike secretly publishes a story about courage, monsters, and a boy he loves. He panics when he realizes Will might recognize himself in the pages.

    Summary

    (I am Peter Benjamin Parker, and I exist.)

    - - -

    Three months after his existence was erased, Peter Parker was not doing so well. His solace came from knowing that at the very least he had managed to save his city in the end.

    Apparently, though, Peter realized as Doctor Strange explained to him that he had to give up even more, losing everything-and-then-some just wasn't enough.

    OR

    The multiverse continues to collapse in on itself. Doctor Strange discovers the source of the problem as Peter Parker. The only viable solution is to remove Peter from his original universe so that no more entities will be drawn to his presence there.

    Peter is sent to a world that lost its Peter Parker, and finds himself lost in a sea of people he'd grieved who had all grieved him in kind.

    Summary

    Slow-Burn, canon-compliant and set after season 4. Will Byers & Byler centric. If you like lots of feels and pining, a nice dose of spooky beasties, some silly character moments and seeing our boy Will kicking ass, taking names and coming of age, you're in the right place.

    Premise:
    It's two weeks after the fall of Hawkins and the Party are trying to figure out how to move on, find Max and stop Vecna.

    Will's heart is still breaking over Mike and El, but when those emotions awaken something decidedly more otherworldly and powerful he, and a strange new friend, have to confront what really happened in Hawkins on November 6th 1983 and what side Will himself is really on.

    A fever-dream, mucho-feels, super long, semi-fix-it, version of Season 5.

    Summary

    As a wedding planner, Will adheres to five rules for every new contract:

    1. Never skimp on floral arrangements,
    2. Make sure all lighting is up to par,
    3. Use cake testing as positive reinforcement,
    4. Don’t get involved in family drama,
    5. Remain as professional as possible.

    These rules have never posed a problem for Will, until he’s hired to plan the biggest endeavor of his career: the wedding of New York Times bestselling author Mike Wheeler, his estranged best friend.

    What could possibly go wrong?
