Summary
Steve made a promise to himself then, sitting there in Carol Perkins’ spare room in a hellish version of Hawkins, that he was going to stop at nothing to find a way to get them both out of here. He felt the words settle into his bones, an undeniable truth that he had put out into the universe, unable to take back. An oath that nothing could force him to willingly break - He was going to get Will back home. He was going to keep him safe.
-
Instead of Barbra Holland being taken by the Demogorgon, Steve Harrington is grabbed instead. This is a fact that changes everything.
Now he must survive alongside a missing kid, all while being hunted by a monster. Neither Steve nor Will realise the effect this will have on more than just themselves, or on the world.
Or
Will and Steve’s journey through the Upside Down.

Summary
"Oh god, oh god, we've gotta get you to the hospital,” Mike panics. He pulls away and studies Will for a moment before barreling on. “Holy shit, one second you were just standing there and the next your eyes were rolling back and you were unconscious for a whole seven seconds-”
Maybe Will really did bite the dust in dimension x and this is the afterlife. He knows where they say boys like him end up after death.
But if hell was a baby-faced Mike Wheeler, still looking at him like he'd hung the stars, then maybe an eternity here wouldn't be so bad.
In which Will's connection to the hive mind has consequences in the final battle, sending him back in time to November 6th 1983.
It's just like Back to the Future, if Marty McFly was a twelve year old with a bowl cut trying to save the world.

Summary
In the many timelines, including the original universe of Stranger Things, Will Byers is a twelve-year-old boy in love with Mike Wheeler, who is ultimately ignored and given an unsatisfactory fate.
In this one, Mike Wheeler remains hopelessly in love with his oblivious childhood best friend, Willow Byers, when she goes missing. Although this is just one small change among the millions that could've occurred, it may be just enough to derail the destiny that awaits them all.
-----
Basically a rewrite of Stranger Things but Will is now a *lesbian* girl. This, surprisingly, might change quite a lot of things.
!Please read the tags!
(Holy fuck-a-roni, as someone who has not watched Stranger Things and is now deciding to rewrite the show (albeit with a lot of missing scenes), this is hell. I have to watch each scene I even think I want to include at least ten times over, not to mention altering dialogue, and the inevitable point where I have to stray from canon. I would, y'know, just stop writing, but I have quite literally NOTHING better to do, and I'm using this as copium for that actual shit ending. And also because I love women, but, y'know...🏳🌈)- Language:
