Summary
After everything they’ve lost — and nearly lost — the party holds on to each other. Will finds the courage to be more himself, but Vecna is not done using him. That’s when everything goes south.
Meanwhile, Mike starts to realize that his feelings for Will are different from everything he has felt before — and that there is a reason why being with Will has always felt like home.

Summary
An Alpha Mike/ Omega Will 18mo + ST5 rewrite
.
It feels like flying too close to the sun. There has to be a point where Mike realizes what’s going on and stops it. Where he realizes that everything is teetering on the edge of being wrong, too far, inexcusable. What will the final straw be? What is the thing that Will gives in to, far too heartily, with enthusiasm that doesn’t seem platonic anymore.
Will it be something instinct based? A moment where Will can’t stand the way his scent clings to his clothing or how everything blooms when Mike stretches his neck for the fiftieth time in an hour? Or is it just one of those moments where he crouches down and looks up at him despite being several inches taller, that makes Will snap and say something – or worse – do something.
Would Mike be disgusted? Perturbed? Uncomfortable? Would he pretend it's not a big deal and simply pull away slowly? That one would hurt the most.
And then Will remembers El, and his thinking breaks down ever further.
Mike has a girlfriend. It would be stupid. It would be counterproductive. It would be reckless and mean and wrong. Ultimately wrong.
That doesn’t stop Will from wanting it.Series

Summary
"Hi," he waved awkwardly.
"Hi, are you Will?" she asked.
"Uhh, yes, I am." He stared at her serious face. One would think that Will, after living with Holly in the same house for more than six months, would know how to act around kids, but...
"I am Lizdebeth. You can call me Lizzie," she said, still standing in the doorway, all serious and a bit... judgmental? Huh.
"Oh my god, Lizzie," Will heard Chance's voice from inside the house. Then he appeared next to her, turning to Will. "Hey, you came! Come on in, sorry," he said sheepishly. He then turned to his sister, "Lizzie, what did we talk about when opening the door to strangers without me, Mom, or Dad present?"
"He's not a stranger, it's Will!" she said matter-of-factly. Chance rolled his eyes, and Will was two seconds away from laughing.
---
Six months after the "earthquake," Will Byers is trying to balance Hawkins High with his own darkening thoughts. When Vecna reemerges, Chance, a classmate who offered to help him with Geometry, gets drawn into the horrors the Upside Down hides.

Summary
Maybe Will decides that enough is enough, and lets Mike go. Maybe whatever persists between them dies slowly of benign neglect, until all that remains is shared trauma and dead memories that don’t mean what they once did. Or maybe he just never hears Mike’s voice again. He shudders.
But what if it's not too late?
Too late for what?
What do you do when the world fails to end? If you’re Will Byers, you build a life. If you’re Mike Wheeler, you build a tomb.
It’s been a decade since El disappeared, Mike is still trapped in his own head, and no one knows how to talk about it. Then, Mike does something impulsive, and sets in motion a chain of events that will cause Will to question everything he believes - including about himself.
Or: A story about grief, love, fate, freedom, and the things that hide in the dark (and maybe the light, too). This starts slow, but bear with me; I promise it doesn't go where you're expecting!

Summary
The lighthearted moment is gone as easily as it came. Something heavy settles in Will’s stomach; dread. He hears children’s laughter, but there’s no one around. The ground he’s standing on isn’t stable anymore and without meaning to he starts moving, walking absentmindedly. Everything’s spinning, it’ll make him throw up. Looking at the sky makes him feel like he’s in a merry-go-round. He can’t hear his friends; he doesn’t even know where they are or where he is.
He stumbles on his feet and holds onto a tree. He hears the distant sound of people calling for someone. His mind is rushing with images, flashes of faces he can’t quite place.
“Will!” There's a hand rubbing circles on his back; he turns around to see the worried expressions of people he can’t exactly recognize, but they seem familiar. “Are you alright?” The girl with dark curls in front of him asks.
He blinks.
Mike is in front of him.

Summary
Season 5 of Stranger things was supposed to be about saving Hawkins.
Instead it becomes about losing Will Byers.
Sleep doesn’t feel like sleep anymore. Time slips. Voices follow him into the quiet. And in the dark, there is someone waiting, patient, understanding, and far too familiar.
The worst part is not that something is wrong.
It’s that Will isn’t sure he wants it to stop.

Summary
Everyone has a secret. Including Mike Wheeler, who finds himself stuck reliving his best friend Will Byers' coming out. Why does his chest feel so tight when he thinks about it? Why couldn't he just get over himself? The party begins their climb to the Abyss and while the threat of Vecna and the evils above loom over them, so does Mike's secret.
While Will Byers grapples with his newfound powers and the responsibility of defending the party, he's still left with the guilt of letting Vecna take those kids, and the knowledge that he created those tunnels in Hawkins. And on top of that, he's trying to get over his best friend (who is definitely his Tammy. Right?) while protecting his friends and family from the demos that come for them in the endless tunnel system that is the Abyss.
Or: a finale rewrite that reimagines the Abyss, the mind flayer, and the final battle while leaving room for my favorite ship.

Summary
He doesn’t have to look down to know he’s shaking like a leaf right now. How pathetic of him. What kind of husband can’t even kiss his wife on the lips? (her lovely lips) How he burns for the sensation, yet can hardly move a muscle.
Henry thinks himself the hero of this story, but really it’s all just a mask, like how his current angelic form is a clever ruse to hide the true rotting carcass underneath.
Or: Henry Creel wants to kiss his wife, but such a tender gesture is far from simple. Perhaps even the most unlikely of allies can help him on his quest.

Summary
Will could still feel it. The storm. Feel the way it moved, fast and endless and alive, spreading through everything; through him. Black clouds twisting in impossible shapes, something enormous shifting inside them, something that saw him even when he couldn’t see it back.
He jerked upright with a gasp and the room slammed back into place around him.
The dorm he shared with Mike. The single beds they'd pushed together to make one. The faint glow of the lamp on the other side of the room – always left on for Will. The low, distant hum of the city that never slept.
New York. 1992.
Not there.
But the feeling didn’t leave. It clung to him, cold and heavy.
The lamp flickered.
He froze.
The light stuttered once, dimming and snapping back so quickly it barely resisted. But he felt it, the drum of energy, like a pulse.
Will’s stomach dropped.

Summary
Steve had a bad feeling, and this wasn't the first time it had happened.
For as long as he could remember, he had always had hunches. Hunches about events that hadn't even happened yet but warned him before the shoe could drop. He was used to them. To the bad omens. To the anxiety they brought.
Maybe, that's why he was as tense as a coiled spring when they entered Hawkins Lab, as gray as decayed as the rest of the Upside Down. But not even a hunch could have prepared him for what happened that day. He couldn't have braced himself for the party splitting up. He couldn't have braced himself for an argument with Dustin, much less the boy's violent reaction at him bringing Eddie into the conversation.
He couldn't have expected to crack his head open into the ground, nor the world that waited for him when he opened his eyes once again. Neither the spider that bit him, or the powers that would later bring him.
And when this peculiar world welcomed him, he couldn't help but wonder.
Was that Munson? In a big sign? Wearing a hero-like costume?
And why on Earth was he blond?

Summary
"I love you, too."
Her breath stuttered in her chest. Four years. He'd held those words on his lips and in his heart for four years, refusing to tell her goodbye.
She had feared bitterness from him, or anger, or something, anything, that would come between them, because something always came between them, didn't it?
But in those simple words, he had cut through every fear, every obstacle. It was as if he'd stepped through space and time and impossible heartbreak to say, I'm still here. I've been waiting. I've never stopped loving you.
He worried his lip, and his eyes were vulnerable as he waited for her to say something back. He looked like she could cut him down with just one word, and what's worse, he looked like he expected her to.
She couldn't bear for him to expect that. Not one moment longer.

Summary
It no longer mattered to Will was how Mike wanted him because this was enough. This right here: Mike standing in front of him, breathing and alive, smiling like an idiot who truly couldn’t believe what Will had just done. He knew his feelings now. He knew himself. He knew Mike was one of the most important people in his life. Mike wasn’t, and never would be, his Tammy.
Even if Mike didn’t feel that way.
Or, a Stranger Things fix-it fic following the events of Vol 1.

Summary
Will looked all-powerful…like a god. Not the timid, quiet boy Mike had known since he was five. He has had confusing feelings ever since he had known Will, feelings that had slowly evolved over time, but something about this moment had locked an ever-shifting question mark into place.
When Will’s powers begin to change—no longer tied to decay, but to something alive—the group realizes they’re not just dealing with Vecna anymore. They’re dealing with something new. Something that shouldn’t exist.
As past secrets about Henry Creel come to light, a pattern begins to emerge: power doesn’t come from the Upside Down alone. It comes from what it takes from you—or what you refuse to let it take.
And when Mike finally says the words he’s been holding onto for years, something shifts.
Because Will isn’t just connected to the darkness.
He might be the thing that breaks it. -

Summary
“He was… special.
And I don’t understand how, in this school, I seem to be the only one who noticed.”Hawkins, after everything that happened.
People move on. Or at least, they pretend to.She’s a quiet girl. The kind of person people rarely notice—always somewhere in the background, listening more than she speaks, watching more than she’s seen. The kind of person who’s learned that it’s easier not to get attached.
But Dustin Henderson isn’t someone she can get out of her head.
Some changes don’t go unnoticed.
And some are harder to fix than others.
