    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    “Mike,” Will repeats through a smile. The name tastes familiar on his tongue. Like he’s said it thousands of times in his lifetime. Like he’d like to keep saying it a thousand times more. “I’m sorry, I don’t— I don’t think we’ve met.”

    New York City. 1990. Will Byers loves his little life in the Big City. He has his brother by his side. His friends from Hawkins he stays in touch with. And the few friends he's made since he started college to help pull him out of his shell. So what if he forgets his past. He gets to live life to the fullest in the present. Until the memories start seeping out. And Will meets a stranger in a bar he wishes he never forgot.

    Or: Will Byers loses his memories of Mike Wheeler, as well as the supernatural aspects of his trauma. Mike Wheeler remembers everything, and will do whatever it takes to get Will back.

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    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

    As the military hunts Will down, Mike learns what it truly means to protect the one person he loves more than life itself. The voice in his head encourages him. It gets louder. Hungrier. Until Mike fully succumbs to its force.

    He is Will's loyal companion. His sworn protector. His Dobermann.

    Summary

    “Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”

    Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.

    Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.

    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

    Will could not help the question that burst from his lips, it had been ricocheting around his brain like a stray tennis ball and was simultaneously causing him the most excitement, distress and exhilaration he had felt in his entire life.

    “Are you my husband?” he blurted. Mike blinked in surprise.

    “What?”

    Will lost his nerve slightly. He wondered if he had been horribly wrong about this, and maybe in this strange timeline he was just a friend staying over and maybe he’d made a mistake and the daughter wasn’t really his daughter and—

    Will faltered. “Um, I — well, I just thought you were — I mean, you are my husband, right?”

    Mike looked very alarmed. He was staring at Will as though he had grown a second head.

    “Obviously…?” he said, “Are you feeling alright? Did your mom make you try her D-I-Y coffee again?”

    When nineteen-year-old Will Byers wakes up to find himself in his forty-three-year-old body, he must—with no experience whatsoever—play the part of world-renowned freelance painter, father of two very troublesome teenagers, and most strangely of all: Mike Wheeler’s husband.

    Summary

    NOVEMBER 6TH, 1986

    In the three years since Will Byers went missing, the town of Hawkins has been under constant threat of the creatures from the Upside Down. But now, eight months after Vecna has ruptured a giant rift through the town of Hawkins, that threat is about to reemerge. Unaware of Vecna's true plans and trapped under a military quarantine, our heroes will not only be forced to face the greatest evil from the Upside Down, but also overcome impossible odds, in order to save the world, and each other, one last time.

    Written in a SCREENPLAY format, this fic operates as a diverging conclusion for the final season of Stranger Things.

    EDIT 6/21: Chapter 5 in progress!

    Summary

    District 12's Will Byers has never claimed to be lucky for a single day of his life, but being reaped for the hunger games twice in a span of five years? That has to be a joke, even for someone as unlucky as he is.

    At the very same time, Mike Wheeler from District 1 could not care less if he wins or not. The Games are not terrifying to him, they’re just something he exists for now. He doesn’t want to die, sure, but living in such a boring, repetitive world doesn’t mean much to him anyways.

    Really, neither of them expected to find love in this hell on earth.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler was one of the most idiotic people he's ever met. Of course he couldn't recognize his own feelings for his best friend until he had to feel the dead weight of his cold body in the Abyss. Of course he didn't realize El was going to sacrifice herself for the world again. Of course Mike lost the two most important people of his life and was completely helpless to do anything.

    Helpless. Mike was so helpless all the damn time.

    But, just maybe... he didn't have to. Not this time.

    Summary

    His eyes widen as he takes him in. Mike. He almost couldn’t believe it was him at all.

    “Stare a little harder, would you?” Mike said hoarsely, breaking the silence.

    “Sorry,” Will breathed, and then shook himself out of… whatever he was doing; ogling, oh god. He was ogling Mike. “I didn’t mean to—you’re just, you look different.”

    When Will Byers' powers come to light, Will and Mike are sent on a world-shifting adventure across universes that slowly serve to answer for that yawning chasm of lies and uncertainties between them. It may also, simulataneously, lead them straight to the salvation that they've all been waiting for, for far too long:

    Purging their lives of the Upside Down, finally, once and for all.

    Summary

    A sharp crack tears through the air. Mike flinches back, staring down at Will's lifeless body. He gets one last look before the ground is giving way beneath them, and all at once, they’re falling.

    A shrill cry tears from Mike’s throat as he finds himself flailing through the open sky. A sharp crack of lightning shutters in the distance. Will's limp corpse contorts, dropping faster than he can. He’s screaming, unimaginable terror ripping through his body. He writhes, reaching for Will, crying the boy's name.

    He’s falling, plummeting through a destabilized upside down and there's nothing he can do to stop it. He’s going to die.

    Mike reaches out, eyes squeezed close. He tears the watch from Will's wrist, seconds before colliding with the Exotic Matter.

    .

    OR

    Colliding with Exotic matter as the Upside Down collapses in on itself sends Mike hurtling through time. He’s given the chance to save Will before any of this starts.

    But he can’t seem to get it right. Reliving moments throughout the years, helpless to warn Will. He just wants to keep him safe. Why can’t he keep him safe?

    He’ll do this again and again until he gets it right. He won’t lose him again.

    Summary

    Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
    “Take me.”
    Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
    Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
    “Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
    Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
    “Deal.”

    ---

    Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
    Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.

    Summary

    "Oh god, oh god, we've gotta get you to the hospital,” Mike panics. He pulls away and studies Will for a moment before barreling on. “Holy shit, one second you were just standing there and the next your eyes were rolling back and you were unconscious for a whole seven seconds-”

    Maybe Will really did bite the dust in the Abyss and this is the afterlife. He knows where they say boys like him end up after death. 

    But if hell was a baby-faced Mike Wheeler, still looking at him like he'd hung the stars, then maybe an eternity here wouldn't be so long.

    In which Will's connection to the hive mind has consequences in the final battle, sending him back in time to November 6th 1983.

    It's just like Back to the Future, if Marty McFly was a twelve–year–old with a bowl cut trying to save the world instead of his parents' marriage.
