    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

    “I want you to tell him why you're so upset," Vecna says, and Will swears he sees the curl of a smile in the webbed scars of his face. “I want to watch you lose him.”

    (Or, Will is forced by Vecna to confess his feelings to Mike, with a slow burn aftermath. Hypothetical Season 5.)

    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

    “Um,” he tries, suddenly concentrating very hard on his shoelaces. “I have what is probably a very, very stupid idea. What if… I pretended to be your boyfriend?”

    Or: David thinks he's come up with the perfect mutually beneficial arrangement with Patrick, but it isn't long before things start to get complicated.
