    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

    "Tell me a secret?"

    Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.

    Will is a terrible person.

    I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.

    "I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."

    Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.

    "Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."

    or

    They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

    Summary

    “Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”

    Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.

    I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.

    According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.

    But he’s getting better. He’s getting better at it. Mike steps forward, and Will retreats. He’s getting better
    “You’re avoiding me.”
    So, for Mike to barge into his room and demand an explanation for why Will has been pulling away – well, maybe he’s a little confused. 

    Will finally rips off the band-aid. Mike won't let him.

    Summary

    “Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”

    Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”

    Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”

    The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.
