    Summary

    A phantom pressure crawls up his throat. For a split second he swears he can feel it again; the snake-like vine forcing its way down his windpipe, cold and invasive; the wisps of decay-filled air he manages between the ceaseless choking; the taste of dirt and blood and something electric yet all-consumingly dark and evil flooding his senses—

    OR

    A comprehensive (though byler-centred) rewrite of Season 5, starting from Will waking up from a dream where he relives/remembers what we see in those first five mins.

    Summary

    “Look,” Will says, turning fully on the pallet to face Mike, one hand reaching down for the rough wood to find purchase and ground him. “Do you-, do you want to show me. Like-, like want to practice?”

    Mike’s eyes widen but he doesn't say anything.

    “Sorry, stupid idea, just wanted to help.” Will is trying to gather the words back up from the air between them and into his mouth.

    “I never thought it was stupid.” Mike says, so quietly it's not much more than an exhale. “I suggested it first.” He adds, like it's a secret.

    Will grips the pallet harder. “Show me. I really do want to help.”

    Mike bites his lip a sec, and Will thinks he's going to say no, but then Mike's darting forward and pressing his lips firm and quick against Will’s. It's barely a kiss. Not romantic. Not enough to leave a scar. Will bleeds anyway.

    -

    Or: Mike has been kissing Will on and off since they were seven. How are you supposed to recognise an avalanche when you are drowning in snowballs?

    Summary

    Two months of long-distance has turned Mike and Will’s letters into a lifeline. But when Jane accidentally mails a letter containing Will’s private fantasies, the distance between Hawkins and Lenora officially catches fire.

    What follows is an escalation of provocative Polaroids, a "ruined" letter, and an oversized Hellfire shirt that smells like home. Across a 1,500-mile phone line, the metaphors of "cleric and paladin" are finally stripped away, replaced by raw hunger and a promise: when Mike gets to California, he’s going to mark every inch of Will's skin.

    Summary

    The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.

    It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.

     

    or

     

    After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.

    Summary

    The hope was that Vecna was dead, because a portal to Hell splitting Hawkins down the middle was a kinder reality than the one they lived in. Max had woken up, after all, so maybe miracles do happen, and whatever took place during Spring Break was the end of it. Luck was never on their side, though.

    The anniversary of Will's disappearance looms over them, like a guillotine in the form of a ticking clock. They knew well enough that all it takes is one night for everything to go wrong. The crawl goes off-script, Hopper is M.I.A., and the Wheeler's house is in ruin.

    Maybe what they need is a return to form; maybe Will needs to go back there, to the Upside Down, himself, to get the answers they're looking for.

    Or;

    The events of November 1987 are retold through the eyes of The Party, because it should have ended how it started.

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.

    Summary

    "What are you doing here?" Mike's face dropped as his eyes slid from El, past Max, and over to Will, "And what are you doing with them?"

    "Shopping," El said with a blank expression on her face.

    Max smirked, "This is their new look, what do you think?"

    "You know she's not allowed to be here. And Will, how could you just run off like that, we were worried!" Mike glared straight at Max despite the fact part of what he said was directed at Will.

    "What are they, your little pets? El can't leave the cabin, and god forbid Will strays more than three feet from your shadow, despite the fact you were completely ignoring him!" Max snapped right back.

    ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

    Or... A rewrite of Stranger Things season 3 where Will leaves the mall with El and Max and helps them investigate while growing closer to both girls and becoming more confident in himself. Meanwhile, Mike considers what it might mean for him that he's more upset that his best friend ditched him to hang out with someone else than he is about his girlfriend breaking up with him.

    Summary

    Will Byers had been lonely for a while now, feeling so out of place even when he was surrounded by all his friends - his party. There was a time when being around these people would have felt overwhelming, but in a good way. There was a time when being around Mike Wheeler, just being in the same room as him, would have been utter bliss and comfort.

    That felt like a lifetime ago now.

    –––

    “You can’t have him,” Mike hissed, his nails digging into Will’s skin as he clung even tighter. It was like Mike was trying to absorb him. “I won’t lose him again. Never. Again.”

    “We won’t take him from you. I promise. But you are hurting him Mike. You don’t want to hurt Will, do you Mike? You never want to hurt Will, you want to protect him.”

    Mike snarled at Nancy, “Never! I would never!”

    ———

    Or: Will is feeling lost and alone while with friends until he has a strange feeling that leads him to meeting a Mike Wheeler that isn’t his. A Mike Wheeler that may reciprocate all those deeply buried feelings that are drowning Will. In this new Mike, Will may finally find the happiness that he has been denying himself.

    Summary

    It may have taken Mike Wheeler a little while to figure it out, but there was no denying that he was pathetically in love with Will Byers

    Emphasis on "pathetically"

    When Will smiles, Mike smiles back; When Will speaks, Mike bursts into flames; When Will flexes, Mike melts into a puddle of goo

    Tired of watching Mike make a mess out of himself, the rest of the Party decide to help him out

    (If only they could tell if Will likes him back or not!)

    ~~~

    Or: the Party is oblivious, Mike is even more oblivious, and Will is engaging in a little bit of petty revenge

    (As in, Will knows that Mike's in love with him. He decided to see how long it'd take for Mike to realize Will loved him back)

    Summary

    Healthy Boundaries 101: when your previously closeted gay best friend comes out to you and confesses his unrequited love for you, you should:
    A) allow for the relationship to change and for feelings to resolve.
    B) understand that the way you’re acting is part of the reason your previously closeted gay best friend fell in love with you in the first place and change accordingly.
    C) throw caution to the wind and become one hundred times worse.

    Jesus Christ, Michael.

    Max turned to him as Mike passed and whatever she saw on his face, caused her to stick her hands out to the sides and mouth: “what the fuck just happened?”

    If only he knew.

    One thing was certain.

    He’d made a mistake in telling Mike he was going to move on.

    Summary

    “I won’t tell him,” she says softly. “Any of them. About any of it.”

    Will looks up with surprise. “Why?” he asks.

    Nancy just gives a tight smile, but in her eyes, something deeper brews. “You keep my secret, and I’ll keep yours,” she responds.

    Will doesn’t really understand much about Nancy Wheeler at all. But Will’s happy to be her secret keeper, so he nods.

    OR,

    At the end of the world, makeshift living arrangements push the unexpected together, and a new Byers-Wheeler alliance forms.

    Summary

    The Isu built humans in their image—flawed, emotional, stubborn. So, perhaps it was inevitable that everything else created by their hands also picked up those same imperfections.

    The Eye was no exception to that.

    In which, the Eye has an existential crisis and Desmond tries to survive medieval Italy, which would have been easier to do if it weren’t for the goddamn wings.

    Summary

    Formerly named ‘Guardian Angel Out Of Time’
    ----

    Desmond just watched at first.

    It had taken days to realise where he was, or rather, when he was. Desmond was half convinced he was in a coma or a long-lasting Bleeding episode at first. But it was not the Bleeding Effect, nor did Desmond seem to be in another coma.

    He was not in the Animus, but in real world Renaissance Florence.

    By the time Desmond finally seemed to snap out of his daze, he stumbled upon the Piazza della Signoria where a large crowd was gathered.

    He recognised this scene, though the last time he saw it, he had arrived on the opposite side of the piazza. The last time he had been watching through the eyes of Ezio.

    Watching the crowd move, Desmond found himself stopping a nearby woman, “Scusi, signora, but would you happen to know today's date?”

    “December 29th.”

    Desmond’s eyes were wide in disbelief. “And the year?”

    “1476.”

    December 29th, 1476.

    The day the Auditore family was executed.
    —-

    Or Desmond proves to be increasingly impulsive and Isu Tech seems to hold a grudge against him.

    Summary

    It’s Will’s first summer in a while where there isn’t something spooky happening, where he can just be a kid and be free. He just wants to spend the time with his Party. The problem? They all have girlfriends. And Will is decidedly not into girls. It seems he’s condemned to a summer of third wheeling and watching his friends make poor relationship decisions.
    Enter Beverly Marsh. She’s the first person outside of the party that doesn’t make him feel like a freak. She also has a cute best friend.

    Beverly is NOT happy about being sent with her aunt for the summer to Hawkins. It’s small, dusty, and there’s this aura about the place. Like something bad is lurking in the woods. She doesn’t even have friends here.
    Enter Will Byers. He’s nice and though he’s not one of her losers, he seems the best option for a friend she could find in this town. Maybe summer won't be so bad after all.

    Summary

    It is summer 1985, which means sunny days outside and having fun with your friends and girlfriend. Or so, that's what Mike Wheeler thinks. When Billy Hargrove gets flayed by the powerful entity known as The Mind Flayer, The Party must put their fun (and their fighting) aside in order to stop him. This leads them to discover that Hawkins, Indiana is being ruled by forces darker than just the Upside Down. Narrated by multiple POVs, Oathbreaker, Oathkeeper is a collaborative passion project between two writers, Oathbreaker is a partial re-write of the global hit Stranger Things. Set between season 3 and onwards, we explore an alternative sequence of events based on Dungeons and Dragons lore plus its technicalities, and the Stranger Things canon.

    Summary

    “I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.

    “It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.

    “Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”

    Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”

    Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.

    Summary

    An eyebrow piercing. No- two. Matching ones on each side, all-black, matching the series of earrings and the snake bites that now adorned his mouth. A visible scar in the center of his lips, pale and standing out between the set of black on either side of it.
    The scar from his first lip piercing.
    The piercing that-
    "You still have your powers."
    "I’m sorry."

    In which Mike is an avoidant idiot covered in tattoos and piercings, Will is a tired lover boy just trying to pass his classes, and by some stroke of luck (or lack thereof), they end up at the same university, in the same room, two years after they last saw each other.

    Summary

    “So. Logical conclusion?” Dustin grinned down at him, pleased. “You’re in love with Mike and heartbroken that he and El made up. You’re welcome.”

    Will sighed. “Dustin, I already knew I was in love with Mike.”

     

    Will Byers is not avoiding his friends—he’s just busy.

    Busy avoiding Mike Wheeler, busy lying about homework, and busy trying (and failing) to get over the boy he’s been in love with for years.

    Unfortunately, Dustin Henderson has noticed. And he has a plan.
