READ THE TAGS. PLEASE GOD READ THE TAGS. THIS IS A VERY ANGSTY, HEAVY FIC WITH A LOT OF DARK THEMES. READ THOSE TAGS. THANK YOU.
Slow updates possibly, because I have trauma with DV myself. This fic started as a project to help me work through my trauma, but after I got a little tipsy and decided to post it on TikTok a lot of people wanted to read this fic. I hope this finds someone who will enjoy reading as much as I will enjoy writing, but due to how close to home the abuse aspect is, it might be a while between chapters. But I promise I won't abandon it, and will still post as regularly as I can. This fic is too important for me to just abandon 🤗 Y'all just might have to bear with me.
Also some of the chapters are REALLY long lol so it takes a while to edit them.

Summary
All is swell after the “earthquake” hit Hawkins. The kids are back at school, the military haunts the streets, the Byers live with the Wheelers, the team just recently started up with the crawls, and Will and Mike have been getting closer. But all that changes when a car pulls up in front of Hawkins High.
Suddenly, Will is whisked away for legal reasons, and those back in Hawkins have to work tirelessly to get him back. Meanwhile, Will’s life gets turned upside down, and he is thrusted into the custody of his first ever bully: Lonnie Byers.
Follow the group as they struggle with complex feelings, mental and legal battles, and the story of Will’s heartbreaking past being rewritten in present day (or for us, the 1980’s).Takes place somewhere in the 18 month time gap before season 5, maybe closer to season 4.
Title from “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper.

Summary
Will had changed. Quietly. Gradually. The way things rot from the inside out without anyone noticing at first.
Of course, the world around him had changed too.
He’d started hanging out with people he wasn’t supposed to. Kids who laughed too loud and didn’t ask questions. Lucas was around more often now — partly because he wanted to be, partly because Max had made it very clear that if he abandoned Will, she’d make him regret it.
Will swallowed hard.
The house felt too small.
He slipped out of his room, grabbed the jacket hanging by the door, and stepped into the cold night air. The first inhale burned his lungs as he lit a cigarette, the tip glowing orange in the dark.
He didn’t look back at the house.
Instead, he started walking — hands in his pockets, smoke trailing behind him — toward the place that felt easier these days.
Jason’s house.

Summary
My skin is clean, Will tells himself, staring down his reflection as if it’s challenging him. I’m not possessed, I’m not in the Upside Down.
I’m a second-year student at the Art Institute of Chicago. My apartment is shitty and tiny and expensive and incredible. Will stabilizes himself by gripping the countertop, looping the words through his mind. Mike is in the other room, waiting for me. He’s an English major at Loyola, and his dad has no idea how he’ll land a job. He’s waiting for me. He loves me. He’s patient with me, and he understands. My brother lives in New York, and my mom’s safe at home in Indiana. My skin is clean, and all of this is real.
I disappeared seven years ago today, and I was found.
And he’s dead, and far away from me. He can’t touch me ever again.
