Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

Summary
"What are you doing here?" Mike's face dropped as his eyes slid from El, past Max, and over to Will, "And what are you doing with them?"
"Shopping," El said with a blank expression on her face.
Max smirked, "This is their new look, what do you think?"
"You know she's not allowed to be here. And Will, how could you just run off like that, we were worried!" Mike glared straight at Max despite the fact part of what he said was directed at Will.
"What are they, your little pets? El can't leave the cabin, and god forbid Will strays more than three feet from your shadow, despite the fact you were completely ignoring him!" Max snapped right back.

Or... A rewrite of Stranger Things season 3 where Will leaves the mall with El and Max and helps them investigate while growing closer to both girls and becoming more confident in himself. Meanwhile, Mike considers what it might mean for him that he's more upset that his best friend ditched him to hang out with someone else than he is about his girlfriend breaking up with him.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
Han Juwon aches for a plummeting swoop in his stomach. Juwon has half-dreamed of it all his life, but nothing ever lives up to the jolt of a plane shuddering into the air, the brief moment of weightlessness as he is thrust into the unknown atmosphere above. He has flown twice, and both times were dulled by their circumstances: dead mothers, dreary London skies, crimson rushing and flooding into bathwater, and the image of his father’s broad back, etched with disapproval. If something can mimic that halting, aching excitement, Juwon realizes, it is the idea that Dongsik is coming back. Juwon doesn’t quite know how he will handle this landing. He doesn’t think the touchdown of the wheels will stand the plummet. (He determines to hang on anyways, as they crash and burn to the ground, plumes of pulpy flames and smoke curling above.
Or: a walk through four seasons, following Han Juwon for a year after he moves to Manyang and deals with the return of Lee Dongsik after his year of rest and relaxation (read: incarceration) away. A story about families found, villagers lost, the changing spokes of time, the inevitability of Lee Dongsik, and Han Juwon’s desperate rush toward the only pull he cannot avoid.
