   Summary

   Will Byers was never found AU (got this wonderful fic idea from someone on tiktok, can’t find who made it tho💔)

   Season 2-3 didn’t happen, and Season 4 was played out different. The others found out about the upside down through Jane’s backstory and the Russians.

   There is Byler but I made it insanely slow burn, Will literally just came out of the upside down looking beat up as hell😭
