Summary
New York Hair Specialist, Steve Harrington, has everything he's ever wanted. He's got the girl, gorgeous up-and-coming journalist and mayor's daughter, Nancy Wheeler; he's got the job, his new company just successfully launched at New York Fashion Week; and he's a thousand miles away from his shitty hometown. Until, that is, the supreme court gets their head out of their ass and legalizes gay marriage, making that stupid piece of paper he signed back in '04 suddenly a problem. In order to marry Nancy, he first has to go back home and confront a past he'd rather stay buried, and maybe find out that you can take the boy out of the small town, but you can't take the small town out of the boy.

Summary
“Why me? Despite it all?”
District Twelve tribute. Capitol escort. Born in two different worlds and joined by that difference. A drunk and a control freak. Rough-edges and softness. Indifference and overthinking. Black and white. Actions versus words. Began with hatred, ending up in love.
“There’s no one else who could ever compete with you, there never was, not since the day we met,” Haymitch seems to be more honest in this state between dreams and reality like he’s finally not choosing his words carefully or holding back. “I would choose you in every world, Effie. Even if you piss me off, or disappear for years. In the end, it’s you, from the very beginning. It’s been sixteen years and I chose you every single one of them. It’s not going to change."

invited by annie to district four, effie reunites with haymitch and the kids after a year and a half of separation - it doesn't go as smoothly as it is supposed to. a small chaos ensues

Summary
“Will an I are dating!” Dustin blurted.
Jane froze and looked back and forth between Dustin and Will. A spark lit up. “Oh my gosh! I am so happy for you!” She squeaked and jumped up to pull Will into a tight hug.
“You.. and him?” Mike scowled. “You.. and Will? Really?” He scoffed. “Right. Will hasn't told us because?” He narrowed his eyes. “Will looks mortified because?”
Dustin looked around nervously. His eyes met Will’s. “Because.. We weren't ready to tell anyone yet.” He looked back at Mike, then switched gears to stare obviously at Will. He grew slightly more confident. “Baby, I’m sorry. I mean it.” He murmured. Dustin's hand, which Will realized he never really let go of, squeezed his own.
“Baby?” Mike squawked.
Will and Dustin fake date. That's it. That's the fic.

tell me that you love me (just once) by jaywritesandwrites
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
“That’s not true—“
“Then say it. Say it, Will!”
Will hesitates. “Say what?”
A beat. Then—
“Tell me that I’m wrong. Tell—”
He gulps. Will’s eyes dilate in shock.
“Tell me what’s going on with you, Will. For fuck’s sake, just talk to me!” Mike exclaims.
A stray sunbeam crawls up Mike’s cheek. At first, Will believes it to be another hallucination: that odd glassy sheen around his best friend’s waterline.
But when he concentrates, he notes that it isn’t a trick of the light at all. Rather, wetness brims in Mike’s eyelids, staining his eyes red.
Oh. Oh no.
OR
It's January, and Will Byers doesn't know how to act around his best friend anymore. But he has to hold strong. He has to keep his feelings to himself. If he doesn't, he'll lose everything.

Set after season 4 and before season 5. Loosely inspired by "you took my heart (I was sleeping)" by lameparties.

Summary
What would happen if Will Byers was never found during the events of Stranger Things season 1? How would he survive the upside down? How would the people of Hawkins react?
Will breathed in a ragged breath. Black smoke poured from his mouth as he tore himself free from the wall. He collapsed forward, coughing and gasping on the cold, moist floor.
His heart pounded in his ears as he shakily scrambled to his feet. Eyes darting around the abyss, he started to run. And he ran, and ran, and ran.
His feet pounded on the ground when suddenly he found himself on a familiar path. Finally, something familiar. Will sprinted through the woods, as a feeling of hope filtered its way through the panic. He was getting there, he was gonna be safe, it was finally within reach.
Castle Byers.
The pain in his chest and legs screamed at him to rest, but he couldn't risk stopping. He pushed himself further, calves aching with each step. Suddenly, a loud screech echoed through the air from somewhere up ahead.
Will skidded to a stop as the monster moved on the path ahead. It was in the way, standing between him and safety.- Language:

Summary
A job like Ivo Robotnik’s will take you many places that are downright bizarre. But no place has been as strange as the place he finds himself now, maybe the last place anyone who knows the Doctor would ever imagine him in. Certainly not this well-behaved, at least.
He’d promised himself he’d never be in this situation again.
Or:
Ivo is forced to attend the graduation for his fifth PhD in person, and just like all four of them before, he has no one to cheer him on. Or so he thinks...

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
1973
Before Eddie Munson was The Freak, he had another name shouted at him by his peers: Crow Boy. New to Hawkins after his mother's death, Eddie struggles to find friendship at the local elementary school. He finds himself being ridiculed for spending recess alone, finding shiny lost treasures on the school yard. An unlikely friend joins his side for a brief while before leaving him all alone again.1986
Steve Harrington doesn't have the best memory. Turns out, getting concussions is pretty damn bad for your brain. He forgets bits and pieces of old memories that return whenever they please. There's something about Eddie Munson that he can't quite place... Until he does. It seems some apologies are in order.Time has changed them both, but deep down inside they're still the same boys from thirteen years ago. Though, friendship might not be the only thing to arise from their reunion.
