Summary
“Is this weird?”
Will frowns. “What?”
“I don’t know, I’m just— every time we—” he stops when Will pulls his hand away by his wrist and resumes dabbing his lip. He doesn’t think twice when he brings the tissue to his mouth to make use of his own saliva, and Mike doesn’t question him either. “I can’t be normal around you anymore.”
Will delicately cleans him up, eyes calm and steady, voice comfortably quiet. “I’m not asking you to be.”
Or: In the November morning light, everything has changed. Mike and Will try to figure out who they really are, what they really want, and how much they really need each other before they lose their minds—but, if they’re honest, that might just be the fun part.

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
Ever since he was six years old and ducked into the cupboard beneath the sink to avoid his father’s fury, Will Byers has known he’s good at hiding. Mom and Jonathan used to hate it, used to fuss and worry. Over the years, Will has only gotten better, crafted the skill into something of an art.
He hid when his dad screamed and broke things. He hid the truth when bullies at school slung terrifyingly accurate, harsh words. He hid when the Demogorgon stalked him through the Upside Down for a week.
Will Byers is good at hiding. It’s what’s kept him alive this long.
(or the one where vecna is dead and will is trying to enjoy the normalcy of growing up, while also wrestling some important, decidedly not-normal discoveries. and his relationship with mike. there’s that, too.)

Summary
“It doesn’t matter if it takes a hundred more crawls,” Mike says, planting his hands against the table. “A thousand! We don’t stop until we’re goddamn sure that wrinkled, rotting, noseless bastard is dead and gone and never coming back.”
Will’s smiling, now, looking reassured. And Mike’s saying it for El’s sake, but also Will’s. Max’s. Eddie’s, too. Everyone who’s been hurt by this monster, who won’t be able to sleep at night with even the slimmest chance that he might still be out there.
He has to do something. And until there’s a better plan, or more information to go off of, this is the only option.
He puts his hand out above the table. “Everyone in?”
Lucas, looking determined, slaps his palm on top of Mike’s. Then Will. Then, when there’s only one of them left, they turn to look at Dustin.
Dustin’s mouth twitches to the side. His torn Hellfire shirt ripples in the late-autumn breeze. “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter,” he says. His voice is low, almost scarily detached. Like he has nothing left to lose. “Just wish I could do it myself.”

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.
