    Summary

    They stepped into the cooler, brighter lights of the mall hallway. The smell of popcorn from the theater mixed with the general hum of the mall: distant music, shoes on tile, and the occasional announcement over the PA. Everyone was still talking animatedly about their favorite parts of the movie when Libby felt a sudden, sharp impact against her nose.

    The group froze, eyes widening, as Libby staggered back slightly. One of the four boys from before—now with dry pants but still looking smug—stood there, fist raised, a cruel smirk plastered across his face.

    Or Libby mayfield takes the kids to starcourt to the mall to the movies but it doesnt go to plan

    Summary

    Billy’s boredom has been an issue ever since he moved to Hawkins. Nothing seemed sufficient anymore. He would consider Hawkins the most boring town in the world, if only the weird and mysterious event of Will Byers disappearance never happened.
    Maybe unearthing the mysteries around his vanishing could be his ticket to cure his boredom. But for that, he would have to grow closer to the kid, and gain his trust.

    Summary

    Then, in the most obvious way possible, his eyes rake over Will’s figure, lingering on the way his shirt hugs his stomach, and over the muscles in Will’s arms.

    And then, to Mike’s absolute mortification, his younger-self flushes, cheeks growing impossibly red and eyes darting to the floor. Not in an obvious manner either, because Will immediately levels Mike with a questioning stare and a teasing smile which makes him want to crawl into a hole and die.

    ~~~
    Post s2 Mike and Will travel to the future. It ends dramatically.

    Summary

    Will Byers is starting his sophomore year with his friends at Hawkins High School. It's going to be the Best Year Ever, full of DnD and art and Normal High School Things. It has to be because that's the promise he made to get his brother out the door and living his own life in college instead of stuck living Will's life with him.

    Jonathan Byers is starting his freshman year at Emerson College with the love of his life. The dining hall makes all the meals, everyone is happy to share their weed, he has no responsibilities besides good grades.

    Everything is great. Everything is amazing. Everything is perfect. It's supposed to be perfect. Why does it still not feel perfect?

    Or, Will and Jonathan struggle in the peaceful aftermath, but no one - especially each other - is allowed to know that.

    Summary

    Will steps into the woods. Birds chirp around him, and squirrels run up the trees. It's been six months since Vecna was finally defeated, and now everyone is finally beginning to settle. Everyone except for Will. He can't seem to get out of fight or flight mode, and everything's been wrong. His body feels off, heavy and achy, while his concentration is shot. No one noticed when he stopped showing up to things, stopped answering his radio. El will chatter every night about what her and Mike were up to that day.

     

    And it seems to take all of Dustin's energy to keep moving, and to show up himself. Lucas is with Max, and no one noticed when Will started to fade into the background. He knew if he stopped trying, this is what would happen. He knew as soon as he had to beg for their attention. It's ok though, he's always known his place. And now it's fine for him to step back, and let them all breathe without him. Every morning he takes another walk like this one, trying to chase away the ache in his joints that make it hard to move. Part of him knows that he should say something, that this isn't normal pain.

     

    That something is seriously wrong, but he can't bring himself to.

    Summary

    A hand grasps his shoulder, someone is saying his name. It’s Mike. Who else would it be? He’s crouching down so they’re at eye level, a smile so big and so bright Will swears he’s looking at the Sun.

    For the first time in a long time, Will Byers is proud of who he is. For the first time in a long time, he accepts that he might deserve love, only he still doesn't think he's actually going to get it.

    Mike finally works through his feelings, but for some reason, Will keeps rejecting him.

    Summary

    Mike watched her go with a feeling of relief that he instantly tried to repress. Will sat down next to him, almost immediately, holding a pile of x-men comics with a bag of chips balanced on top of it.

    “Oh cool, I was I just going to get those.” He said, turning to Will.

    “Yeah?” A small smile flickered at the edge of Will’s mouth.

    And the small, traitorous thought of ‘It would be nice if it was Will’ flashed across his mind.

     

    People keep bringing up sitting on each other's laps around Mike. It has an effect.

    Summary

    Mike softens instantly, shoulders relaxing as he presses his lips together. Then, he says, "I don't think you get it." It's hardly more than a whisper.

    He swallows. "What do I not get?"

    "How important you are," Mike says. "To all of us. To me."

    or

    In the midst of the end of everything, Will stands in the middle of an avalanche. It takes him an embarrassingly long time to recognize it.

    Summary

    “It’s like he…” Robin trailed off.

    Will raised his eyebrows at her imploringly.

    Robin fiddled with her hair. “So you guys read comic books and all that nerdy shit, right?”

    Lucas scoffed.

    “So you know how there’s always this one supervillain with this really weird interest in the heroine?” Robin asked. “Like he thinks she’s too good for everyone else and should just… like… be with him?”

    Will’s cheeks were turning a hot scarlet. “Robin–”

    Summary

    "The first night it happened, he knew nothing but the blinding fluorescent lights bathing him in their harsh introspection, the sterile walls devoid of any comfort despite the meaningless paintings drawn onto them, and the terrible gnawing feeling that something awful was going to happen."

    Will Byers struggles with strange nightmares at night that encroach into his daily life, blurring the lines between dreams and reality, the supernatural and the natural, and pushing him deeper into isolation.

    Mike Wheeler watches as his best friend battles something he can't see but desperately wants to understand. Working through uncomfortable realizations and his past actions, he can only hope to get through to Will before the Upside Down does.

    An au where Will is still in the Upside Down after season one hehe.

     

    "W-Who are you?" She coughed, shaking. He stayed silent, looking around for where she had come through. There. A rip. He ran. He was aware of another girl about to come through, no doubt for Holly, but there wasn't any time. He slammed his back into her, careful not to hurt the girl in his arms, and looked around.
