Summary
It was only supposed to be one harmless lie. Sneaking around with Chance Fernandez wouldn’t hurt anybody. For once, Will Byers was going to do what he wanted. For once, he’d have control over something in his life. Just this once, he wanted to experience something normal.
Or
Will starts hooking up with Chance behind everyone’s backs and it triggers a downward spiral.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has a problem. He might be sent to Pennhurst if this keeps up. Or maybe just grounded for life if his mom ever sees his recent chemistry test. And it all started with Will and his stupid, small waist.

Summary
Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”
Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”
Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.
“The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”
OR: A Will Byers-centric speculation of ST5! Based on trailers, BTS footage, and some scenes from The First Shadow.

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
Will is at peace with being a beta. It isn't what he wants necessarily, but it makes life easier. Like accepting that his friendship with Mike will never amount to anything more. It works. Until an incident forces him to reevaluate everything he thought he understood about himself and what he desires.
