Summary
Will is going to die.
Not how he thought he would. Not in a mess of vines and slime at the end of the world or the razor sharp claws of a Demogorgon.
It'll be his own fault. It'll be punishment for something he tried to bury inside himself. They know what he is and they're doing it in the name of a god that hadn't been there for Will no matter how loud he cried.
Or
Hawkins has been plagued with deaths, disappearances and despair. It's more than a few that have noticed it all changed the night of November 6th 1983. William Byers has been claimed by the devil and will answer to God, one way or another.

Summary
“What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”
“Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”
Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.
Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

Summary
Because Mike still reaches for him first. Still saves him the front seat; still seeks him out automatically in crowded hallways and noisy rooms. Still builds futures around them with casual certainty, like there’s no version of his life where Will isn’t standing directly beside him.
This is just how Mike is. He always has been, really. Fiercely loyal and strangely intense and occasionally just impossible to understand. Will’s survived over a decade of friendship navigating the inconsistencies in Mike Wheeler’s behavior. He’s survived monsters and possession; the literal apocalypse.
Surely he can survive this too.
He just has to stop wanting more from it.
That’s the real problem, Will reminds himself. Not Mike. Not Jane. Just him, still reading too much into every look and touch and half-finished sentence because some hopeless, pathetic part of him refuses to learn its lesson.
[Or: The world doesn’t end, nobody dies in the final battle, and everyone has to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives anyway.]

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
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!
