Summary
After the events of 'A Glimmer of Light Refusing to Fade,' Will, Mike, and the Party are all battle-worn, exhausted, and half-grown-up - not to mention ready for their NDA deals to carry them into an easy life of peace, luxury, and recovery.
...but, of course, that doesn't happen. Whether it's the Upside Down following them and haunting whatever city they live in the same as it haunted Hawkins or just trying to survive after what they have, it's never going to be easy.
(It's worth a shot anyway. And they'll be damned if they don't try.)

Or:
Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.

Summary
Will just wants to get through his last year of high school without incident, to feel normal for once in his life, and try to survive the building tension between him and Mike that grows with every word left unsaid. On the first day of school, Will meets someone new who may finally offer him the acceptance he craves, but he’s unsure what to do when it causes his relationship with Mike to hit a breaking point, forcing them both to confront their true feelings. And to make matters worse, Vecna is always there, whispering in his ear, and letting him know his fated role in the inevitable fall of Hawkins. Slow Burn. Will-centric. Mike-centric later chapters.

Summary
A phantom pressure crawls up his throat. For a split second he swears he can feel it again; the snake-like vine forcing its way down his windpipe, cold and invasive; the wisps of decay-filled air he manages between the ceaseless choking; the taste of dirt and blood and something electric yet all-consumingly dark and evil flooding his senses—
OR
A comprehensive (though byler-centred) rewrite of Season 5, starting from Will waking up from a dream where he relives/remembers what we see in those first five mins.
