    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.”

    Or, a fix-it fic modern-gothic take on Will Byers' story in Season 5 .

    Summary

    It all started by chance, when Bill noticed the black eye Richie was sporting. Then came the downward spiral of social services, finding out you are adopted and have a long lost twin brother, and leaving the town you grew up in to go live with the family that adopted him.
    ***
    You mean I didn’t just get stuck with the worst parents on the face of the earth by the fate of conception? You mean they actually chose me just to wish they hadn’t all these years later? You mean I now have two families that don’t want me? It makes sense really. I'm just a big trashmouth. I’m a disappointment. Why would anyone want me?
    ***
    The Wheeler's really are polar opposites from the Tozier's. What will it take for Richie to understand he can actually be wanted? How will these boys react to the change in family dynamic? What happens when they both are pining over the same boy? Get ready for a deep dive into the emotions of Richie, Mike, and Will as they navigate these life changes in the last few years of high school. Can they handle it? We'll just have to see.

    Summary

    “So.” Mike said, raising an eyebrow at the smirking boy in front of him.

    “Didn’t Karen tell you to give me a tour? Of course, I’d much rather get one from here, I mean, maybe when she shows me her bedroom we could—”

    “First of all,” Mike interrupted, lifting a finger up and poking it at Richie’s chest, “do not call my mom Karen for gods sake, second of all, you already know your way around, Richie. You’ve been here before. Third of all, ew, Richie, she’s your aunt.” Mike finished, sighing and walking over to the fruit bowl on the counter and grabbing an apple out of it.

    “Ew, you actually eat that shit?” Richie asked, scrunching up his nose, as if the thought of eating fruit was gross. Mike looked at him incredulously.

    Richie was unaffected by this, and addressed Mike’s previous statement, “Well, sure, I’ve been here before, but that was a while ago. I don’t remember much. For all I know, you could’ve moved everything around since last time.” Richie shrugged, completely ignoring Mike’s third statement.

    Richie is visiting, and Mike is not liking the interest he's showing in his best(?) friend.

    Summary

    The moment Will enters the studio and spots a figure sporting a fuzzy white robe, a wild head of curls, and a face that makes Will’s heart ache for the boy he’d loved for a large majority of his formative years, Will swears his heart stops.

    “…Mike?”

    Or the fic where Richie Tozier models nude for a university art class for some extra cash and effectively gives Will Byers a heart attack in the process.
