Summary
“Will it get better?” Will asked her, voice scratchy, emotions leaking out. The nightmares. The monsters. The deaths. Mike.
“I don’t know,” she whispered back, her own voice breaking.
“It has to,” he said, more to himself than her. “This – this can’t just be it.”The Byers have moved to California; Hopper is gone, Billy flayed, Bob dead, and Will is now 2,274 miles away from everything and everyone he has ever known. And he’s Fine. Nightmares stalk his sleep, his chest aches with the life he left behind, the childhood that had never really felt like his. The boy back home with the freckles and the words left out in the rain. Will is Fine. And he’ll keep telling himself that until the dreams drag him under.
or:
Will gets to Cali and accidentally hot girl summers; cue meeting new cute boys and sneaking out to parties and spray painting the back ends of Lenora to feel some semblance of control. -

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.

Summary
When Will finally made it to Castle Byers, he fell to his knees in despair. In his haste to getawaygetawaygetaway, he’d completely forgotten that he’d destroyed Castle Byers last summer in a fit of anger.
There was nothing left to save him from the shadows that overtook him.
Like the saying goes: if there’s no one in a forest to hear a tree fall, does it really make a sound?
There was no one around to hear him scream.
~~~
Or:In an alternate universe of season 4 where Max and El move to California instead of the Byers, that leaves Will left alone, abandoned by his friends and family as they move on with their lives
And where does that leave him but at the mercy of Henry?
How long does it take for someone to notice that Will isn't Will anymore?
