    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during Nancy’s graduation dinner.

    Summary

    “And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”

    Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”

    What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?

    “Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”

    The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.

    “Maybe something here wanted you back.”

    Or, a fix-it fic modern-gothic take on Will Byers' story in Season 5 .

    Summary

    Ever since his best friend Will Byers was murdered back in 1985, Mike Wheeler wanted nothing more than to leave his hometown of Hawkins, Indiana and never look back—only each and every year he’s forced to make an exception when it comes to the holidays. And when Mike visits for Christmas in 1995, his mom asks him to help clear out some junk in his room and down in the basement before he returns home to Indianapolis. But when he comes across an old trunk containing his Supercom walkie-talkie and ham radio, he discovers something strange that has the potential to change everything…

    (or an AU inspired by the movie “Frequency” from 2000)

    Summary

    “It was a seven.”

    “Huh?” Mike turns to see Will lingering behind.

    “The roll. It was a seven,” Will admits with an earnestness that takes Mike aback. He realizes all at once that Lucas must have lied. Either that, or Will had been keeping it a secret. He’s not totally sure which is more likely. “The Demogorgon, it got me.”
