Summary
“He really does look like Mike,” Lucas breathes, as he gives Mike’s twin a scan, head to toe.
“Yeah, if Mike were way hotter and a knight?” Max chips in, and Will can vaguely hear Mike muttering again. “He looks so medieval, like he’s from Camelot or some shit.”
“I am Michael,” the knight begins to plead again. He turns his doe eyes back to Will, returning to his side like a diligent guard, even going as far as to reach out and take his hands. “Please, you have to believe me. I would never lie to you. Have I ever broken our oath? Let me prove it.”
Will was a bit preoccupied with gazing into the knight’s eyes, his cheeks flushing under the intense stare and the way his hands were held so gently. Mike had no issues ruining their moment.
“And he’s weirdly obsessed with Will.” Mike sounds even angrier than he did in the woods, and his sharp tone is enough for Will to snap out of his hand-holding to step a respectable distance away from the knight. “We need to send him back to wherever he came from.”
or
Mike the Brave ends up in Hawkins and sweeps Will off his feet. Mike has a lot of Feelings™ about it.

Summary
"Sullivan's pace quickened as he strode down the halls of the lab in the Hellish dimension, the last thirty minutes stuck in his mind on a loop. Some trouble makers breaking into the base, a swarm of those vile undead monsters, a demon shooting his hand through the face of Ramirez-
And a boy, snapping the limbs of one of those monsters without even breaking a sweat- a brand new variable that Sullivan hadn’t predicted discovering."
- - -
When Joyce, Mike, and Will leave the MAC-Z after discovering Will's powers, they assume that the only enemy they have left to deal with is Vecna. However, they fail to notice that Lieutenant Jack Sullivan wasn't killed in the massacre- and that he saw Will using his newfound powers. Once Sullivan informs Dr. Kay, it doesn't take too long for the military to set their sights on a new target, one that has powers that they would love to get their hands on...

Summary
It’s been 18 months since Hawkins split. It’s been getting cold out. November 6th is coming. The Party has been preparing for the battle for a long time. Michael Wheeler can tell something is very, very wrong with the one person that the Upside Down continues to haunt.
William Byers is the key.
Hawkins isn’t prepared for what he will be forced to unlock.
________
Oh William, I knew you’d return.
Will is in a dark space. He’s not sure what direction the voice is coming from, but Will can tell the voice is getting louder.
You could never escape me.
Will instinctively covers his ears. Despite the taunts, Will wishes he could run.
You can never escape what you are.
Will feels a sharp tug in his forehead, and then his sight turns red.

Summary
A phantom pressure crawls up his throat. For a split second he swears he can feel it again; the snake-like vine forcing its way down his windpipe, cold and invasive; the wisps of decay-filled air he manages between the ceaseless choking; the taste of dirt and blood and something electric yet all-consumingly dark and evil flooding his senses—
OR
A comprehensive (though byler-centred) rewrite of Season 5, starting from Will waking up from a dream where he relives/remembers what we see in those first five mins.
(UPDATE COMING SOON!! Approx. May 18th)

Summary
In the midst of searching for Holly and the incoming battle against Vecna, Will is suddenly taken captive by the military for reasons adjacent to the manhunt directed at Eleven. Turns out, Will has other powers, untapped and suppressed by a chunk of his childhood he doesn't have any recollection of.
Sure enough, hell breaks utterly loose—with Mike and Eleven at the helm of the chaos. They are getting Will back one way or another, all else be damned. Though, unbeknownst to them, Will is also in the middle of piecing together an untold part of himself, along with a discovery that might make him choose to sacrifice his freedom. Completely.

Summary
“Whoa ,” Mike says, voice hoarse and writhed with sleep, grasping the arm of Will’s sweater with impressive force, in his dream-like quality. Will doesn’t remember when he began slipping off the side of the roof. “Will, — Will,” Mike murmurs, and Will melts at the sheer familiarity of his name on Mike’s mouth, “come inside. You’ll hurt yourself.”
His heels won't move from where they’ve dug into the roof, despite Mike’s persistent tugging. All at once, he’s washed over with guilt. He shouldn’t be here. He’ll hurt him.
“Please,” Mike adds, the single syllable addictive and slow, like honey.
It’s embarrassing how fast Will folds.
Will wakes from a nightmare on the other side of town. He finds going home is easier said than done.

Summary
Lonnie never left.
But Jonathan did.
He packed his things slowly, like he was afraid the walls might remember him if he moved too fast. College brochures, thrift-store jackets, a future that didn’t fit inside that house. Joyce tried to make it feel temporary—I’ll visit, I promise, it’s just work right now—but promises became phone calls, and phone calls became texts, and texts became silence.
And Will stayed.
Someone had to.

Summary
All is swell after the “earthquake” hit Hawkins.

Summary
Set Post-Volume 1.
Mike and Will are taken by the military who take a special interest in Wills powers. While Will is subject to experimentation, Mike does everything he can to keep Will safe.
-----------
"Will!" Mike crashes to the ground next to him. Gets a good look at him.
Wills eyes are dazed slightly. They latch on to Mike anyways and he seems to sag with relief. The blood from Wills nose falls onto his lip. Into his mouth.
"That was- that was amazing!" Mike brings his sleeve up and wipes the blood away. He opens his arms and lets Will collapse against him, head resting on Mikes chest and Mike doesn't even think twice about how intimate it should feel.

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.”

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Summary
“Will?” Mike whispers. “What—” he trails off. Dustin and the others are shouting over the walkie, all their voices overlapping in panic, but Mike’s only listening to Will.
“Use it on me.”
Will shifts on his knees, his grip on Mike’s arm tightening like he knows Mike is dying to run. He places the knife into Mike’s hand.
“At the military zone, I felt like I was burning when they hurt it. It has to work the other way around, right? It’s a hivemind. If you hurt me, it should weaken all of them.”
Or: in a moment of panic, Will convinces Mike to hurt him to save the Party. In another moment of panic, Mike kisses him to keep him conscious.

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.
