Summary
The week Mike returned from California, he learned how to shoot a gun. He failed. Of course, he failed.
Since the end of the world began, Will was on a mission. He was failing miserably at it.
While protecting their friends and hunting down Vecna, Mike Wheeler and Will Byers are faced with the truth—the truth they're both desperate to ignore. But little do they know, they might run out of time... For a clock just chimed behind Mike's head, and Will keeps getting nosebleeds. Both tormented by Vecna, the pair needs to find a way to save their friends and family—for the end of the world is closer to them than they think.
Or, a rewrite of season 5 with a dose of trauma and a hefty amount of fear. Will has powers. Mike is targeted by Vecna. Everything goes to shit.

Summary
Feeling flooded back into his body. His head throbbed mercilessly, skull heavy and aching. The light overhead scorched his eyes, forcing them to squint against the brightness. It didn't help that the world tilted again, spinning just as it had earlier that day, colors bleeding into one another as shapes warped and bent unnaturally.
His tongue felt thick. Uncooperative. His lips numb and sluggish. Blurred shapes crowded into his periphery. Darkness pressed in at the edges of his vision.
And then there was nothing.
OR; Will gets a concussion after hitting his head during The Crawl and Mike looks after him.

Summary
will was never found au
he reaches into his bag for his walkie,
“hey guys i figured out exactly where i am, i’m super close to h-“ his blood runs cold when he spots a familiar looking person peering from a tree, he leans forward before he lets a shaky breath out,“will?..” he drops the walkie, breaking the signal scope.
he can hear muffled voices, most likely Nancy? maybe Joyce, calling out to him but all he can focus on is the boy lifting a rifle towards him.
“mike?! are you there? mike?”

Summary
Will forced himself to stop thinking. The Upside Down was closed for good. Eleven had close the gate last year and saved them all. His mother, Jonathan and Nancy had taken the Mind Flayer out of him. There was nothing more connecting him to that place. He was clean. Purged. And those stupid chills he got from time to time in the back of his neck were just his brain messing up with him. It was him not being able to move on from what happened in the past. It was him not being able to grow the fuck up already.
Dustin clapped his hands, the sound echoing in the calm night, making Will snapped out of his thoughts. “We can become heroes, Will. Honest to God American heroes. Like freaking Red dawn or something.”
Season 3 rewrite in which Will listens to the Russian transmission with Dustin. Inspired by American Heroes by catchip2

Summary
Will jumped as a deafening bang erupted from the building, echoing through the surrounding trees. The sound was so sharp it made his ears ring.
He didn’t need to hear it twice.
Panic surged through him as he scrambled for his bike, tears pricking at the corners of his eyes, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry. He just needed to get out of there, something was about to happen and he didn’t want to be around when it did.
But when was life ever on Will’s side?

Summary
Mornings were hardest.
Mornings were even harder when you were extremely hungover from the night before, which just so happened to be new years.Will was super drunk. Like, couldn't-see-straight, slurring-his-words, clinging-to-Mike-because-the-floor-was-spinning drunk. It had started out innocently enough; a couple of drinks to loosen up, some shots for fun, and before he knew it, he was three sheets to the wind. Mike had been keeping an eye on him, sipping on a ginger ale and watching his best friend (boyfriend?) with a mix of amusement and worry.
Christmas Day had been a blur of emotions. The text from his dad had come out of the blue, like a slap in the face after all the progress he'd made. The words echoed in his head: "Hey son, I want to take you to lunch on the third. We have so much to catch up on." It had been almost two years since they'd last seen each other, and Will had hoped that maybe, just maybe, he could keep his distance a little longer.

Summary
"Will," Henry sighs, "I helped destroy the neural lattice of an entire dimension. I’m not solving for X."
"Wow. So you can annihilate timelines, but Algebra II’s where you draw the line?"
"Frankly, it’s beneath me."
"Yeah? You say that, but I bet you don’t even know what a logarithm is."
Henry’s quiet for a beat. And then—
"…What is a logarithm?"Will laughs under his breath before he can stop it. The kid next to him gives him a weird look. Will pretends to cough and returns to staring at the graph paper like it personally offended him.
