“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”

Summary
Will should’ve realized this sooner. The fifth anniversary of the start of all of this, the day he was taken, was just four days ago. It passed by harmlessly.
That should’ve been a warning sign.
Now Will is paying the price for his naive, yet blissful, ignorance as he dangles between the balance of his two worlds.
One of home, one of nightmares.
El's grip on his bloody hand is tight as she tries to pull him from perdition.
Looking up, he can see El’s face flushing with strain, her limbs shaking. She’s tired. They’re both exhausted. After everything she's done in the past few days, he knows she's spent. Her powers can’t–
She can’t save them.
Will can't be saved this time.
But he can save her.
He inhales, taking in his last breath protected by a night of blanketed stars and faraway brown eyes, and exhales.
Will let go.
And he falls away from Eden.
Or: November 10th, 1988, Will Byers is taken into the Upside Down. The Party & Co. come together to try and save him, all the while Will is fighting to save himself. New monsters emerge and love flourishes. Will hides and Mike finds.
Together, even across dimensions, right?
