    Summary

    I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
    .

     

    Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.

    Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.

    It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.

    But now?

     

    Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.

    It was driving Will crazy.

    Summary

    It’s seriously hot in here. Will shifts on the carpet, his stomach rolling. It feels like his skin is welting from the heat. He blinks hard, fruitlessly trying to slow the rapid rise and fall of his chest.

    “Will?” Lucas calls, sounding far away.

    Across the room, there’s a clamor, and then an understanding, “Oh, fuck.”

    Everyone seems to realize the same thing at once, himself included. He’s going into heat. He’s going into heat in the middle of Mike’s basement, with everyone watching.

    It’s the summer of 1985, and everything in Will's life is already falling apart. So, of course, puberty just has to go and make it all worse.

    Summary

    Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.

    Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while. 

    It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.

    Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler. 

    OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

    Summary

    Slow-Burn, canon-compliant and set after season 4. Will Byers & Byler centric. If you like lots of feels and pining, a nice dose of spooky beasties, some silly character moments and seeing our boy Will kicking ass, taking names and coming of age, you're in the right place.

    Premise:
    It's two weeks after the fall of Hawkins and the Party are trying to figure out how to move on, find Max and stop Vecna.

    Will's heart is still breaking over Mike and El, but when those emotions awaken something decidedly more otherworldly and powerful he, and a strange new friend, have to confront what really happened in Hawkins on November 6th 1983 and what side Will himself is really on.

    A fever-dream, mucho-feels, super long, semi-fix-it, version of Season 5.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the massacre at MAC-Z, Will discovers his newfound powers and how he can utilize them to help his friends. But with the increase of dissonant whispers in his head, along with memories that are not his own, he finds out that these powers come with a steep cost. The rest of the group will need to come together and face their fears to save Hawkins and finally defeat Vecna. Through this, they'll finally answer the question: can love defeat fear?

    Or

    How I think season 5 vol 2 and 3 of Stranger Things could have played out if they included The First Shadow, fleshed out their characters a bit more, and took more risks.
