Summary
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
But did it fix anything at all? Was He Xuan satisfied? Well, yes, of course. He avenged his family, his destiny that was forcefully taken away from him. So then what was this bitter taste on his tongue? Why couldn't he discard the dead weight on his shoulder on some roadside and let it fend for himself?
Because somewhere deep down, the memory of that "Ming-xiong! Ming-xiong, come drink with me!" still lingered.
or
He Xuan can't bring himself to part with a slowly drifting into insanity Shi Qingxuan.

Summary
The classroom a theatre, his classmates the audience, everyone—everyone!—an actor—and he feels an irrational urge, right then and there, to stand up and speak. Something clenches in his chest, and elation hooks a chandelier over the dim, cold classroom lamps, and Neil becomes aware of a yearning, brighter and brighter, that implores him, begs on its knees to speak—and dear God—he wants, and wants, and wants so much that it clenches his hands into fists and his mouth into a line and squeezes life out of him, there to be found yet—and to be an actor, even miles away from a stage, is a prospect as heartbreaking as it’s possible, because now the stage is right in front of him and it’s almost pathetic, is pathetic, how much he wants to feel the words (drip from his tongue, like honey).
—
In which Neil’s father doesn’t let him audition for Henley Hall, but A Midsummer Night’s Dream features heavily in Welton’s literature lessons—and when a performance opportunity rolls around (disguised as Welton’s annual Open House ceremony), it prompts Todd into directing that very same play.
And Neil, of course, wants to act.
(Or: In which Todd and Neil save each other.)

Summary
“Woah- Will.” He jumped to his feet, stumbling to look over Will’s shaking shoulder at the now smeared surface. “Shit… this is really…”
“Sad…” “Poignant…”
They spoke at the same time, Will turning to Mike with a confused crinkle on his nose bridge.
“English major.” Will huffed with a weary grin, his hazel eyes flicking across Mike’s speckled face. “You’re so pretentious.” He teased, jabbing the taller man’s chest. A smile passed between them, the room suddenly very warm.
“Will- You know you could’ve just asked me to model for you right?”
“Yeah I know…”
“...But?”
“...But…” Will had started to dip his brushes into the stained cup of murky water. “I need my model to be-” He’d posed for Will in the past, it wasn’t something new. “I need a nude model.”

Summary
Since the duffer brothers absolutely queerbaited and bombed byler for season five, I want to rewrite season five with my own narrative so we arent queer baited and get the love story everybody wants.
---
Season Five of Stranger Things was supposed to be Hawkins' darkest hour-but what if the story unfolded the way it should have?
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have always been at the heart of it, their bond deeper than Hawkins can ever understand. Through terror, heartbreak, and mind-bending horrors, they navigate a world that's trying to tear them apart-without ever realizing how much they mean to each other.
Hawkins isn't the same without Will, and Mike's about to realize that the person he's been searching for all along has been right in front of him.

Summary
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
The words came out before he could stop himself. Mike knew he had no right to ask but he was hurt, hurt because he had always defended Will, he would always defend him. He used to know everything about him, they would always tell each other everything first.
Things had changed when Will was in California but the past 18 months while they were living together they had fixed things, they were a duo again… in Mike’s eyes they had. Together. Will had promised.
“What–? I mean… it's not really something that just comes up in conversation.”
or, my rewrite of volume 3 because what WAS that.

Summary
It's been a year since Windrixville and since then, time seems to have slowed down. The days trickle by like honey, and little changes slip by unnoticed.
That is, until they don't.
a.k.a: Pony and Johnny are confronted by the passage of time (scary, I know). It's hard to say whether things between them have changed or stayed the same, but one little action makes things abundantly clear.

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
"Sounds like a blast," Steve says. "I'm glad you have some friends out there, though."
"Yeah, well, for me-" Jonathan swallows, "high school's been a bit less brutal over here than in Hawkins."
Steve merely hums, because he's pretty sure that all of that is his fault. He waits for another minute to pass. "It was nice talking to you, Jonathan," he says honestly, in hopes that they can finally be friends.
---
When Jonathan accidentally calls Steve instead of Nancy, he doesn't quite expect it to spark a brand-new friendship. But, nonetheless, he's soon to find him and Steve growing into much closer friends, and made even something more.

Summary
Jonathan’s head lolls to the side, and he smirks at him. “I wasn't trying to insult you,” he says, “sorry. I just meant- I’ve been kind of aimless, lately, so. I guess I’m trying to say thank you. You’ve helped.”
Steve snorts. “What, because I’m another person for you to take care of?”
The joke falls flat between them, and Steve suppresses a wince as Jonathan considers him for a long moment. “Is that what you think you are to me?” he asks quietly after a beat, and Steve’s heart leaps up to somewhere in his throat.
Being friends with Jonathan is only weird if Steve makes it weird, right?

Summary
Will followed Mike's gaze, who was staring intently at their hands together. His heart skipped a beat at the sight.
“Does it hurt?” Mike asked slowly, caressing Will's wrist with his left hand.
“No.” He whispered.
His eyes flicked back up again, holding his breath when he saw Mike's sight fixed on him.
“You sure?” Mike asked again.
God. Will felt like he would faint.
“Y-Yeah… I'm sure.” He breathed.
Or
Will begins to notice the snowball forming an avalanche after offering to clean the wound on Mike's temple after what happened at MAC-Z.

Summary
So much happened before they finally confessed. The snowballs accrued in a pile until its weight grew too much to bear, causing the great collapse of the avalanche which just so happened to fall in a closet. Ironic, right?
Named after some lyrics from Heroes by David Bowie. Based on Robin's speeches and mentor talks to Will in Season 5 and MWTFDYDgate.
Any quotes from canon may not be 100% because I'm writing all of this from memory.

Summary
"I want you to tell me something you haven't told anyone before."
Will took a moment to process the words, but all he could come up with to say in response was, "What?"
"These confessionals always sucked because I knew no matter what I said, I was being judged," Mike explained. "There wasn't someone I trusted on the other side." There was a beat where, for a second, Will was sure he could hear Mike's heart beating. "But we trust each other." It wasn't a question. Will liked that. Liked that Mike still thought of him that way. "So maybe if we just lay it all out on the line, not having to even see the other... maybe we'll get back to how things were."
"But... we already know all of each other's secrets." Will was sure his tone gave away the obvious lie.
"Not anymore."
***
Will and Mike are tasked with scoping out Roane Cemetery Church for clues, and the awkwardness between them can't be ignored any longer. Unsure of where they stand, Will and Mike decide to each choose three things to share with each other that no one else knows. The last one could change everything.

Summary
“I’m happy we talked about… us,” Mike breaks the silence. “I feel like it’s been eating me alive.”
Sure, secrets are easy to hide in the dark. Soft blushes and nervous glances go unnoticed and everything becomes guarded in the veil of night. But secrets aren’t the only thing that hide, their consequences seem so far out of reach when darkness warps blurry vision. When everything is skewed and Will can’t tell what’s only a trick of the soft nightlight peeking under the door from the hall, he could trust himself even less than normal.
“Me too,” Will says. If Mike started it, who was to say he couldn’t give in a little bit. Especially when he couldn’t see past the weight of his words.
Will doesn’t really want to sleep. Not at all.

Will is living with the Wheelers after moving back from Lenora. Mike decides Will has spent too long sleeping on the uncomfortable couch in the basement.

Summary
Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.
It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.
Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.
Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).

-----
"Is a kiss a possible signal or...start of a...snowball?"
"A kiss isn't a signal nor a snowball." Will frowned immediately, confusion knitting his brows together, his mouth turning down at the corners.
"What is it then?" The question came out quiet, almost afraid of the answer, but needing it desperately anyway.
"An avalanche."

“Is the real you back, now?” said Will, turning to face Mike. In the low light, Will's face was no more than a few shadows, but Mike could picture his features perfectly.
“Yeah. I’m back, I think,” said Mike.
The shadows shifted. Mike couldn’t see a thing, but somehow he knew, clear as anything, that Will had smiled.
OR
Following the discovery of Will’s powers, Mike and Will spend the day together. Mike thinks back on the past year and a half he’s spent in Will’s company. As he attempts to process his feelings, Will seems to be on the verge of spilling some kind of secret.
