Summary
It’s the end, the chills whisper, sweeping around his ears. So close now.
Will helplessly lifts his hand to his neck, wishing he could press the reflex out of existence. It feels like he’s seen a pencil rolling off a table, moving too fast to catch as it teeters on the precipice. He can only watch the weight tip over the edge, tumbling down, down, down—
(A post Season 4 continuation of the first crossover fic in this series!)

Hands down the best stranger things story. Amazing interpretation of characters and their relationships. Feel so natural it might as well be season 5.

Summary
In an effort to close the Master Gate that’s tearing Hawkins apart, Eleven makes a deal with the Mind Flayer: the Hive will contain the threat of Henry's power as long as people stay out of the Upside Down. Interests mutual for once, they work together to seal the gates for good—but in His final act of infuriated defeat, Henry captures Mike as the barrier between worlds closes, never to reopen.
Will is the only one around when Mike is taken. He’s the only one who believes Mike is still alive, stuck in Henry’s clutches and in desperate need of a rescue.
When Eleven and the others refuse to break the world-saving truce without proof that it won’t be a wasted effort with disastrous consequences, Will is left trying to find answers (and Mike) on his own.

Summary
The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.
It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.

After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.

Summary
“I like this, Will,” Mike thinks aloud.
“What, the afternoon? I think I prefer evenings, personally.” Will gives a last ditch at brushing off the tension they’ve created, wonders if he ignores it that Mike may move on and they can both avoid the drama this will inevitably cause.
Mike leans over and nudges Will on the side of his ribs. “This. Being with you.”
Will sighs. “Yeah?”
“Being alone with you. More specifically,” He clarifies.
It’s 1800s Regency-Era England, and what began as Will’s earnest mission to support his sister soon spirals into a tangled web of unspoken feelings and societal pressures all because of one Lord Michael Wheeler.

Summary
“No. No, Mike, can you hear me?” He nods, ever so slightly. It’s enough for Will. If he’s dying— if these are truly the last words that will ever be spoken between them— there’s only one thing he can say. “I love you. I’m in love with you, Mike, please. You can’t go. I love you so much,” Will whispers, cradling his body to his chest.
—
Will confesses his feelings as Mike takes his last breaths— and then Mike decides to be a stubborn asshole about it and survives. Will is left to deal with the aftermath of his choice, navigating an awkward new friendship.
