    Summary

    “But I do want to pay you back, for finding my toy.”

    “Oh, no you don’t have to-”

    She ignores him, digging her hand into the front pocket of her skirt, “Here,” dropping a locket into Will’s hand, she flashes him a toothy smile.

    “No really, you shouldn’t be giving strangers stuff-”

    “We’re not strangers anymore, are we?” she tilted her head to the side, “We’re friends now, Will.”

    Oddly, it sends a chill down Will’s spine. Like something is wrong.

    But the little girl in front of him makes him force away suspicion. And it wasn’t Henry, he was sure of it when his neck did not erupt with painfully uncomfortable goosebumps.

    Will sighs, “I still shouldn’t—”

    ”Will!”

     

    (Or, amidst Vecna's threat on Hawkins, Will tries his best to stay under the radar. Useless to everyone, he makes sure to keep all doors locked. Yet, something else seems to creep in through the window that had been jammed open.)

    Summary

    The words sit vulnerably in the air before the pounding rain washes them away and leaves him colder than ever.

    There are so many things he could say. I was, or not anymore, or I just thought I was… 

    He stops. He’s done running. He’d been fooling himself, keeping one last secret. The same old shit, but he’s done being afraid. “Yeah, Mike,” he says, tiredly. With certainty. “I am.”

    “Will…”

    “Just forget it, Mike,” Will says, sick of interpreting the expressions flickering across Mike’s face, sick of looking for signals and overanalyzing and dreaming and hoping. “Forget it.”

    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

    “Why do you choose to keep breaking me like this?”

    Will grabs his own face desperately, eyebrows lifting almost hyperbolically. “What are you talking about?!”

    “After I–“ Mike runs both hands through his soaked hair, pacing once like he’s unravelling. “After I said all that. After I told you– After my letter– do you really have the nerve to–“

    Will doesn't let him finish, words landing heavy.

    “… What letter?”

    Mike stops pacing. His face drains in a second. He doesn’t answer.

    There's a new possibility. A terrible one.

    “Mike,” Will steps closer, searching desperately for his face instead of fighting it. “What letter?”

    Or–
    Months of silence born from a storm, and a confession that never found its way home.
