Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
“I can stay,” you decide. Bloody knuckles never been so soft, now leaning a question against your wrist. You turn your palm upside and there you feel the perfect slot of his fingers between yours: it’s a shape you can hold without dropping. You’re the red on his hands, but not the blood.
or
Post S4. Of discovering and grief.

Summary
"So I get what you mean. About waiting for the other shoe to drop. You’re not—you’re not the only one, is what I’m saying.”
It does not change the end-of-the-world feeling, but still something unclenches in Mike’s chest.
“Thanks.”
An embarrassed heat creeps up his neck. Again, he imagines telling Will about El. The voice in the back of his head laughs derisively.
Then, for reasons he cannot elucidate to even himself, he shoves Will in the chest.
“Um,” says Mike. His throat suddenly grows dry. He glances down at his empty glass.
“Right.” Will moves away from the sink, clearing the way for him. “No—no worries, of course. Good night, Mike.”
When he trudges upstairs, he thinks about how he spends most of his time waiting these days. He hopes the old adage about time healing wounds turns out to be true. If not, he’s just wasting it all resentfully gritting his teeth and bearing the pain for nothing.
-
a mostly canon-loyal st5 rewrite, in which the thirty-seventh Crawl still goes wrong, Vecna targets another Wheeler, Will yearns, and Mike wonders what the hell that fluttering feeling in his stomach is.

Summary
"Chance bit the inside of his lip. Truthfully, part of him believed Jason’s Hellfire theory was a desperate story fueled by the grief of losing Chrissy, but the more Chance watched Hawkins fall apart, literally, the more he felt his old logic snap into place. Maybe Jason had been right, the town had a wound and something crawled out of it, something that hid in plain sight. Chance didn’t believe in revenge, the Bible says justice belonged to God or the law. But, if there really was an evil in this town, wouldn’t it be just as evil to do nothing about it? To let it happen?"
OR
After losing two of his friends in the Hawkins “earthquake,” Chance joins a church grief group that believes Will Byers is the vessel for Satan. To prove them wrong, Chance agrees to befriend Will, but the closer he gets, the more the lines between faith, fear, obsession and love start to blur.

Summary
It’s 2011 and Frank Iero’s life is pretty average until the night where he starts getting dreams about a strange, apocalyptic California where there’s rayguns, grey corporations and terrorists who use art and colour as a weapon. Interesting and fun at first, but the more he dreams about this world, the more he starts to wonder if it really is a dream... and the deeper he gets into this futuristic world, the more it seems to affect his life in the present day.
And just how exactly does everything all seem to link in with that douchebag black-haired artist who sits in Starbucks every day?
(Set in the Danger Days world but not necessarily following the canon established by the album and music video's.)

Summary
"Who the hell are you?" Jon could feel his hands shaking.
The man laughed, taking a step forward and raising a hand to point at him.
"I'm you, from the future!" he said, then swayed, eyes going unfocused, and collapsed to the floor in a dead faint.

Summary
“Come look. I have a new variant. The healing properties are—” Singed continued as if Viktor hadn’t spoken.
“I cannot stay. There is a…event. I am expected,” Viktor said, more firmly this time.
Singed let out a huff and turned to face him. Viktor leaned back, waiting. This also had become a part of their ritual and he had learned not to fight it.
“You have more important things to do. Up there and down here. They will only stifle you and this partner of yours—”
“Jayce.”
“It doesn’t matter. They all disappoint us eventually. You don’t know Piltover as I do.”After moving to Piltover, Viktor finds himself torn between his work and his past.
