Summary
“It’s like he…” Robin trailed off.
Will raised his eyebrows at her imploringly.
Robin fiddled with her hair. “So you guys read comic books and all that nerdy shit, right?”
Lucas scoffed.
“So you know how there’s always this one supervillain with this really weird interest in the heroine?” Robin asked. “Like he thinks she’s too good for everyone else and should just… like… be with him?”
Will’s cheeks were turning a hot scarlet. “Robin–”

Or Will Byers has powers. Mike Wheeler has a get out of trouble free card that Vecna unintentionally handed him. Will is secretly a gothic heroine. And why is March twenty second so important?

“He knows, Jason.”
“Knows what? What are you talking about? What does this have to do with your mom?”
Silence.
His heart missed several beats.
“Your identity,” he finally gritted out. “He has your identity.”
***
With the Bat’s secrets hanging in the balance, a dangerous new drug on the streets, and a familiar face of neither friend nor foe, Jason has no choice but to work with Spoiler and the one person he’s been avoiding since he was Robin.

Summary
Brock Rumlow blinked, caught off guard from where he was standing in the middle of Steve’s doorway. He was looking at Bucky like he was seeing a ghost.
Steve was oblivious. “Bucky, this is Brock. He works with me at SHIELD. Brock… I assume you know who he is.”
Bucky grinned sharklike from his place at the kitchen table. He even went as far as to wave his metal fingers at Brock. He hoped the violence playing out in his mind wasn’t as visible to Steve as it was to Brock.
“You’re… Bucky Barnes.”
***
Much later Brock Rumlow sat in his chair in his crappy SHIELD apartment and wanted to scream.
Steve Rogers introducing them to each other, what a laugh. As if Brock didn’t know.
He was hit with a thought. Steve Rogers didn’t know who was in his apartment. Cause that certainly was not his old pal, his buddy, his Bucky.
That was the Winter Soldier playing house.

Summary
Dear Mike,
To Mike,
Hi again,
It’s me,
Oh God, Will thought desperately. What was he doing? He glanced at the stack of letters piled high next to his right elbow. Each addressed and labeled to the person they were meant to go to. He’d put off Mike’s for last, rightfully assuming that he’d have the most to say to him. And Will did. There was so much he wanted to tell him. Things he’d always ached to confess. Last summer he’d almost overflowed with words. Now he just felt empty. Resigned.
What did he think was going to happen? He’d stamp a heart in the corner of the envelope and say; “surprise, I’m in love with you.” Even if by some chance Mike still wanted to be friends, Will would be long gone.
He set his pen to the paper again.
Mike,
I know this might be confusing…

In which Will deals with the aftermath of his friends and family reading his letters.

Summary
Mike looked at him unimpressed. “See you say that. You say that. But you never actually mean it.” He flung his hands out, gesturing at him. “You’re always making stupid promises that you can’t keep.”
Will gaped at him. This was ludicrous. “Name one promise that I haven’t kept!”
“You keep leaving!” Mike burst out. He practically shouted it. If the outburst took him by surprise, he didn’t show it. “Everytime I just get you back you end up leaving again. And it was fine at first, I guess. With the Upside Down and the MindFlayer. Like at least then we knew how to bring you back. But now there’s nothing taking you away but you still aren’t here. And I can’t figure out why. I’ve racked my brain trying to understand what’s going on with you but I just don’t get it! We’re supposed to be best friends but lately it’s only felt like that on my side of things.”
____The Upside Down is gone. Or so everyone keeps telling him. But Will knows the truth. You can burn all the vines and close all the gates. But you can’t flush out a virus once it’s already been spread. After all, how do you kill something that’s intertwined with the very root of Hawkins without affecting the real world?

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
“I can see just fine,” Will snaps. He doesn’t even want to have this conversation with Mike in the first place. If he did, it would’ve been a long time ago. “Why do you even care?”
“Why do I—” Mike splutters. “Because I care, Will! I care about you.”
Honestly — what was Mike expecting? That the past month didn’t happen? That they aren’t being weird again? The end of a literal apocalypse did more harm to their friendship than good, apparently, and it’s not something either of them can ignore.
Or,
The world is no longer ending. Half of them have moved into the WSQK. Max is learning how to walk again, Mike is hanging out with Robin Buckley, of all people, and Will—
—still hasn’t told anyone that he can’t see out of his eye.

Summary
“Dustin’s your Tammy?” And it shouldn’t bother him. Not really. But what the fuck? What does Dustin have that Mike doesn’t?
“Dustin is, without a doubt, not my Tammy.” Will hums, serene as can be. Which is pretty annoying, considering Mike’s sort of wanted to fight Dustin since the words came out of his mouth.
“Oh. You’re sure?”
“Pretty positive, yeah.” Will laughs.

Summary
He was too soft in the end, to let any fragile, living organism wilt. The joy startled his usual miasma to life, the warmth spun at the tips of his fingers, and it was an irregularity during lonesome days on the playground until it became a constant, inextricable from Mike's presence. He was Will's torch in the dark, until Will forgot how to see the way for himself at all.
Will and Mike at the breakfast table.

Summary
In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.
The silence veered from heavy to charged. All of Mike’s attention surged into his hand. He felt like the entirety of his consciousness was suddenly located in the place where his skin touched Will’s.
What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.
Or,
After first using his powers, Will falls unconscious—and stays that way. Refusing to leave Will's side, Mike reflects on the last year and a half while he waits for Will to wake up.aka mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate. Canon compliant through S5 Vol 1.
