Summary
“I can’t keep going,” Mike cries, “I can’t keep going on like this. Like, pretending everything is okay, and I’m fine.”
Will just listens.
“I don’t understand. I don’t understand how everyone is just focusing on their lives, and I’m still stuck at that night, that night where El disappears. I don’t understand. I can’t stop thinking about it. I don’t understand how people—people like you just, I don’t know, move on.”
Will bit his lip. He almost wants to laugh and say, “I didn’t move on, Mike. I keep thinking about it, too. No one just knows I do, because I don’t have someone to tell it to.”
Instead, he says, “I’m sorry, Mike. It’s hard, I’m here for you.”
⋅˚₊‧ଳ ‧₊˚ ⋅
Will Byers is always there for everyone as they grieve for El. Yet, no one is there to hear him out, except for this random boy whom he somehow, against all odds, meets.
Set during the 18-month period timeskip in Season 5 Finale Episode

Summary
Looking at castle Byers, he's not too sure what he's looking at for a moment. it reads "Here lies William Jacob Byers, beloved friend, brother, and son. 1971-1983." But he wasn't dead. He was right here. They couldn't have found a body because as poorly as he felt at the moment, he was still alive. Still breathing.
He's going to be sick.
or:
Will Byers was never found au based on a TikTok I saw by @bychanceentusiast on tumblr and TikTok, who goes by noassamoas on here. thanks for giving me permission to write this!

Summary
If you were to ask the family of William Byers if they could pinpoint when he’d changed, they wouldn't be able to give an exact answer. He'd gotten so good at hiding his struggles from everyone.
If you’d ask Will himself, however, he’d give you an honest answer; it had been a culmination of things. His disappearance, the turbulence with his friends, his struggle to come to terms with his sexuality.
One thing had stood out above everything else.
The very day he met Boris.
He’d been unlike anyone else Will had ever met. There was a darkness in Boris' eyes that pulled him in. They promised danger and excitement, a thrill that Will hadn't realized he’d been chasing.Bookmarked by DiscountedLoser

Summary
So, apparently, the Gate can lead to other worlds. Who knew? Not Ed, but here he was, alone, on some random island in the middle of who knows where, one flesh arm short and able to access his alchemy again.
At least Truth wasn't a complete bastard.
Now, if only he knew how to find his brother, who he knew had come with him.
Looks like it's the military for him again.IMPORTANT NOTICE
The SSD all my fanfiction was on broke and I don't know if anything is still salvageable because to find htat out I need to save a significant amount of money to take it to a place where they can either fix it or extract its contents.
This unfortunately means everything is on an indefinite hiatus as I don't know how long it will take for me to save enough money for fixing this.
I may be able to write more on some things, but I'm not sure.Series
