Summary
It turns out, Will Byers is a bit more than he appeared to be.
Everyone has some opinions on that, especially Will himself.
<><><>
The first 40-ish chapters were written between Volume 1 and Volume 2, so this is NOT Volume 2 compliant. Oh well!

Summary
"You’ll get over it, man," Dustin called out from the table. He meant it to be encouraging—he really did. "I mean, not the Joyce stuff—that’s obviously going to take forever—but the... you know. The stuff Vecna showed us. The painting. It’s just a crush. We’ve all had 'em. Once we fix the world, I know you’ll find someone great. Who, you know, actually fits."
"Dustin," Robin hissed, her shoulder tensing against Will's. "Maybe not the time for the 'plenty of fish' speech?"
"No, I’m just saying!" Dustin protested, "We’re not weirded out or anything. We want him to know that we’re okay with it. That we’re still friends. You’re our Cleric, Will. We need our Cleric."
"Yeah," Lucas added, stepping closer, "We’re not mad about what we saw, Will. Honestly. We just want you to be okay."
"A crush," Will repeated, the words tasting like copper.
OR Will Byers was their Cleric, their tool. But when his family is lost and his heart is treated as an inconvenience, he stops healing. He merges the worlds to ensure the silence lasts forever.
OR A Dark Will AU where he chose to let the world burn instead of being sidelined again.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has been pining for Will Byers in silence for years, repressing his love to preserve their friendship. But he can’t help noticing every little thing that upsets Will—filing it away, adjusting his behavior, subtly guiding the Party to avoid those pitfalls and make Will happy.

Summary
“You look amazing. God, you look so hot like this, trying to hide how good you feel,”
Will smiled, letting the words wash over him as he felt the heat begin to build in his abdomen.
“But your hair is too perfect. You need someone to mess it up, it doesn’t work. Not when you’re… like this,” Mike swallowed, his gaze locking on Will’s, steady and pleading. Will released his hold on him with no obvious movement of his hand, and to his surprise Mike seemed not to notice, staying put with his back against the wall. Something about that had Will letting out another embarrassing groan as Mike continued.
“Shouldn’t have to please yourself. You should let me,” Mike was saying, “I could make you feel so good. You could have my fist, or my mouth, or my thighs, or…” Mike trailed off, smirking as his meaning dawned on Will. Will had never been particularly strong when it came to Mike._________________

Summary
Today was the worst day of Will Byers life.
Actually, that was a lie.
Will has had significantly worse days than today, but that didn’t mean that it didn’t feel like the worst day of his life.
Right now he felt like he had no one. His mom and brother were both at work, Dustin was nowhere to be found, Max and El were probably at their houses, and Mike and Lucas had been ignoring his existence pretty much all day.Or: Stranger Things season 3 AU where Will meets a certain curly-haired Dungeon Master inside the Starcourt Mall and gets some advice about friendship.

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 as Max smirked and added, "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 starting at season 3 placing Will in El and Max's storyline, allowing Will to receive the support he needs to grow 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
“Alright, who's next?” Will said having more fun then he had expected.
“Me,” Lucas announced, coming to stand directly in front of Will, “I have two words for you, Steve Harrington.” he said, radiating so much confidence that Will couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud.
“What? I’m sorry what? Why on earth would you think I have a crush on Steve Harrington of all people?” Will wheezed in between laughs.
“HE IS AN OBJECTIVELY ATTRACTIVE MAN!” Lucas yelled angrily, Will apparently having struck a nerve with the subject.

Erica butt in, clearly annoyed by Joyce’s slow pacing, “Will did some creepy ass shit with his mind to kill all the demogorgons and now he’s passed out.”
“Erica language!” Joyce chided.
The rest of them stared at Erica dumbfoundedly, even Mike, who had seen it happen was confused by her simplicity of it. What Will had done was heroic, he had saved Mike’s life for Christ’s Sake!
“Wait, wait, wait, wait.” Lucas managed, “Start from the beginning. What happened?”

Summary
"Will looks down at his left hand, curling it in and out of a fist. He thinks about Phineas Gage and Mr.Clarke telling them about the man with a spike through the eye. His hand isn’t really shaped like a spike, and this isn’t gonna be a stabbing. His breath shakes as he faces his reality. What he is about to do. What he has to do. He looks at the stained glass window to his left. It’s one he doesn’t recognize, but it’s beautiful."
