Summary
When faced with the decision to go back or move on, Harry hesitates. His heart twists in his chest as he glances back at the squalling, writhing fragment of Voldemort’s soul that he’s unknowingly nurtured for almost as long as he’s lived. Harry can still hear Dumbledore's words echoing inside his head, “Something beyond either of our help.” But… Is he really? How many times has Harry heard those very same words whispered among the residents of Little Whinging? How many similarities has he seen between himself and Tom Riddle ever since his second year, ever since he first wrote in that diary, despite Dumbledore’s assurances to the contrary?
Hagrid whisks him away from an abusive home and hexes his cousin for eating Harry’s birthday cake. Dumbledore believes the words of abusive caretakers and sets Tom Riddle’s precious few belongings on fire. If Harry wasn't who he is, then would they have believed the Dursleys over him? Would they have done the same thing to him? He doesn't know. The thought frightens him.
Harry picks up the fragment of Voldemort's soul, cradling the unnatural-looking baby in his arms as he walks forward. He boards the train.
He wakes up in his cupboard.

Summary
“That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”
“Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”
Or
Dustin Henderson has a plan.
It is a good plan.
The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.Bookmarked by Mactail243

Summary
"I'm coming, Will," he muttered, pulling on his boots and lacing them with trembling fingers. His jaw set with a grimace that belonged to a much older man, a veteran of a war that hadn't even started yet. "I'm not letting it happen again. None of it."
He grabbed his keys and sprinted for the door, leaving the quiet safety of his bedroom behind. He didn't know how he had gotten here, and he didn't care. He had a world to save, and it started with a boy on a bike.

Summary
Will chokes on his water. He looks around the diner wondering if anyone is listening in to their conversation.
“What?!” He finally says with his cheeks blushing.
“We want you in.” Max says. “You with us. Like a couple. Well, more like-”
“A trouple!” Lucas complets.
“Yeah. That.”
Will keeps a curious and confused smile while looking at both of his friends.
“You know I'm gay, right?”
“No shit, Sherlock.” Max rolls her eyes. “That's why we are proposing this.”
“What-”
“We both know how hard it is.” Lucas starts. “To be yourself. Or just show a small part of you to the world.” He looks down, reminiscing. Max takes his hand over the table and Lucas smiles gently. “Sometimes you may never know if you're truly safe, especially in Hawkins. And I want you to be.” His smile grows a little more embarrassed. “Honestly I'm also… Curious. So, Max and I were talking and... You and I could - only if you are comfortable, that is - we could try to have this first experience… Together.”Where Lucas and Max became a poly relationship so Will can have his first queer experience with someone he trusts and loves.
Or
Where Mike notices Will and Lucas are more close than usual.

In 1986, after Vecna put Nancy in a trance, Steve stays behind to help her out but the gate in Eddie’s trailer collapses before Steve can make it through. Now Hawkins' greatest babysitter has to think fast or get stuck in the Upside Down.
Left behind in a hostile world and only one other of Vecna's gates open, Steve has to risk it all for this one shot at escape. But as the Upside Down shakes with another earthquake, time becomes disaligned and once Steve is finally on the other side, he realizes that he’s been spit out back in 1985.
But not just that, out of all possible nights of that fateful year, Steve arrived just in time to intersect Billy Hargrove on his way to a date out of town.
A moment in time that changes everything.
