Summary
After Will Byers returns to Hawkins after living in California for five years, his life turns upside down. Going back to his past life — a life he thought was long gone — comes with great struggle Will tries to convince everyone (himself included) it’s just some seasonal depression that’s going to wear off once fall is over.
Turns out it’s anything but a seasonal depression, as Will begins to feel like he’s going insane — feeling like he’s haunted by the ghost of his past, struggling to eat anything as food looks like poison, and with a good night’s sleep becoming a thing of the past.
And it certainly doesn’t help that Mike Wheeler keeps staring at him from across the hallway like a creep. He keeps staring instead of talking to Will, instead of making things right after ghosting him years ago.
Because despite once being inseparable, now Will sees Mike as nothing but a cowardly stranger, who didn’t have the guts to write him one last letter saying he didn’t want to keep in touch anymore. Or at least that’s Will’s point of view.
TW. viewer discretion is advised, this work is a tough read that gets emotional and violent at times. please stop reading if it is too much for you.

Summary
“Waited for you, didn’t I?”
In 1971, two boys meet in a children’s home just outside London. Three years later, they find each other again at a boarding school in northern England. Four years after that, Britain is at a breaking point, under the rise of far-right politician Tom Riddle and his growing movement, and they're thrown into the middle of it.
Stolen cigarettes, pirate radio stations, recklessness, first loves, underground newspapers, the Yorkshire Dales, protests, punk, poetry, and rock and roll.
Or
A coming-of-age muggle AU retelling of the Marauders’ story, reimagined against 1970s–90s Britain heavily inspired by a time of real-world political unrest.
Wolfstar-centric.

Summary
“I want you to take a close look, because if you try to leave. I will mount Mike’s head right here in place of this deer.” Vecna points to the mounted head in the middle of the room.
Will’s whole body is trembling.
Vecna stares at him longer than is polite or comfortable. He nods, satisfied with Will’s response, then breaks back out into an arrogant smile.
“Let me show you your new home.” Vecna croons as he pulls on Will's arm.

Summary
“Will Byers?”
Will glances around, as if there is another Will Byers in their vicinity. He manages a small smile. “Yeah, it’s- uh. It’s me.”
Mike rushes forward, and all he can think is holy shit, Will is alive, as he’s throwing his arms around the other boy and tugging him in for a crushing hug. It isn’t until Will is secure, nestled–maybe a bit stiffly–in his arms, that Mike starts crying.
“I thought you were dead,” Mike murmurs, muffled by Will’s jacket. He sniffles. “I thought- we- they told us you were dead.”
Or, Will was never found in S1, but survives in the Upside Down until 1987 due to his powers and connection with Vecna. Cue Mike, an ill-timed trip to the Upside Down, and a lot of feelings.

Summary
Some call love a curse, some call love a thief
He offered Will the universe, the things he longed for. Truth. Clarity. Relief. If only he would just listen.
After Vecna’s return, Will begins to hear a voice that sounds like his own. It tells him the things he already believes: that he is a burden, that love is conditional, that care is given only when it's earned.
And slowly, Will lets it become the strongest voice in his head.
I’ll taste the devil’s tears / drink from his soul, but I'll never give up you.
[Set post-S5E4 “Sorcerer”]
