Summary
"I still feel him. Everywhere. Just like when I was a kid." Will took a deep breath, before continuing. "I still feel trapped, Mike. Like he owns every part of me, inside and out. Like every move I make is what he would want me to make. And I'm cold. I'm always so cold... A-And now? Now I'm just like him... I'm just like Henry." Tears filled Wills hazel-green eyes, streaking his dirty cheeks, shuddered breaths racking his body. Mike watched in horror as he realized what Will meant. Every part of me, inside and out. Inside and out. Inside and out.
Takes place immediately after s5 ep4.

Summary
Will really shouldn't have been surprised when he was next. After all, the last three years had been nothing but bad luck for him, as if the universe had taken a 'kick me' sign and permanently glued it to his back.
Or
Will gets Vecna’d but really he should’ve seen it coming.

Summary
On his first day of school Will was called to the Guidance Counselor's office and given a little yellow card. He was told that if he ever felt too overwhelmed, or anxious, or scared, he could show his teacher the card, and they’d let him leave the class for a few minutes, no questions asked.
Will could see the pity in his Guidance Counselor's eyes as he handed him the card. He could hear the condescending tone in his voice as he told him that if he ever needed anything, anything at all, all he had to do was ask.
Will had stared up at him, his face blank.
Yellow was the color of fear. It was the color cowardice, of terror, and every other synonym for the stupid word.
He looked down at the card, gripping it tightly in both his hands, crinkling the edges, promising himself that no matter what, he’d never, ever use that card.

Summary
The monster is dead, but the boy who killed it is breaking. When Will saves Mike’s life by unleashing a terrifying, reality-shredding power, Mike is left to reconcile the best friend he’s known for a decade with the sorcerer standing in the wreckage. As Will collapses from the strain of his own gift, Mike realises that being a Paladin isn't about fighting monsters anymore—it’s about holding his friend together while the world falls apart around them.
OR
Will saves the world and breaks himself in the process, leaving Mike (and literally everyone else) to have a collective heart attack about it.

Summary
Mike doesn’t know what’s going on with Will and Robin, but all he knows is that it makes him want to scream. Or curl into a ball and cry. Or jump off a cliff. Any of those options would suffice, really, to convey just how much he hates it.

Summary
Erica butt in, clearly annoyed by Joyce’s slow pacing, “Will did some creepy ass shit with his mind to kill all the demogorgons and now he’s passed out.”
“Erica language!” Joyce chided.
The rest of them stared at Erica dumbfoundedly, even Mike, who had seen it happen was confused by her simplicity of it. What Will had done was heroic, he had saved Mike’s life for Christ’s Sake!
“Wait, wait, wait, wait.” Lucas managed, “Start from the beginning. What happened?”
or
My ideas on what happens after that cliffhanger in s5e4. this will be canon compliant until volume 2 comes out. it also will be byler centric but also have plot because I want a chance to experiment with these characters and see what happens

Summary
Spoilers for 5x04. His ears were ringing as he looked down at the dead demogorgon. Dead, it was dead. He had killed it. Vecnaed it, just like Max. But they were demogorgons, and he had saved his friends, so it was okay, right? He wasn’t a monster? Was he? He was linked to the hive mind; monster was probably correct.
Or a fic that happens right after the end.

Summary
Fifteen hours.
It had been fifteen hours since Will Byers had crumpled to the ground inside MAC-Z after saving Mike Wheeler’s life. Fifteen hours since the kids had been pulled into the depths of hell and Mike had crawled his way to Will avoiding the flames that licked at his arms, had grasped onto him tightly and pulled him towards the Radio Shack. Fifteen hours since he and Joyce dragged him half unconscious through the dark tunnels, where they’d ran into a terrified and frantic Lucas on their way. Fifteen long hours since Mike’s whole world had been turned upside down, again.
That was funny, and frankly Mike was unaware if it even meant anything to any of them anymore.
Or:
Picks up after volume 1 of Stranger Things season 5, Will Byers is weak and unconscious on the couch, and Mike Wheeler endlessly worries about him. All while having trouble accepting what he will slowly come to realize.

Summary
And when Vecna spoke, the voice resonated in his skull before even reaching his ears:
« Found you. »
Will curled up further, as if each syllable were a blow. His breathing became jagged, uncontrollable. He felt a drop of cold sweat run down his temple. His heart skipped a beat, then another.
He would have wanted to be strong. To be brave. To be everything he had always dreamed of being.
But facing Vecna, facing his tormentor, his monster, he became the little boy lost in the woods again.

It turns out, Will Byers is a bit more than he appeared to be.
Everyone has some opinions on that, especially Will himself.

Hopefully I'll be able to update this semi-consistently until Vol. 2 releases, at which point this entire thing will be non-canon.

Summary
Will steps into the woods. Birds chirp around him, and squirrels run up the trees. It's been six months since Vecna was finally defeated, and now everyone is finally beginning to settle. Everyone except for Will. He can't seem to get out of fight or flight mode, and everything's been wrong. His body feels off, heavy and achy, while his concentration is shot. No one noticed when he stopped showing up to things, stopped answering his radio. El will chatter every night about what her and Mike were up to that day.
And it seems to take all of Dustin's energy to keep moving, and to show up himself. Lucas is with Max, and no one noticed when Will started to fade into the background. He knew if he stopped trying, this is what would happen. He knew as soon as he had to beg for their attention. It's ok though, he's always known his place. And now it's fine for him to step back, and let them all breathe without him. Every morning he takes another walk like this one, trying to chase away the ache in his joints that make it hard to move. Part of him knows that he should say something, that this isn't normal pain.
That something is seriously wrong, but he can't bring himself to.

Summary
Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”
Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”
Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.
“The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”
OR: A Will Byers-centric speculation of ST5! Based on trailers, BTS footage, and some scenes from The First Shadow.
