Summary
Months after the Battle of Starcourt, friendships fracture, coping mechanisms collide, and the Party exists in pieces rather than a whole. While Mike and Dustin plunge into Hellfire, Lucas straddles the worlds of basketball and loyalty, and Max quietly unravels beside Will in therapy, Will retreats inward, haunted by guilt, jealousy, and the looming weight of November 6th. When an unexpected invitation pulls him into Hawkins High’s cheerleading orbit, Will is forced to confront visibility, identity, and the terrifying possibility that he might still belong somewhere. As old wounds ache and new fault lines form, Hawkins holds its breath—waiting to see what, or who, will break next.

Summary
The world is falling apart and Will doesn’t even know if he has the right to say that it is happening again, or if it just never stopped happening. When he meets Chance, obnoxious, charming Chance, Will wonders if it’s worth it to put him in danger just for the sake of his heart.

Summary
Lucas keeps bringing William Byers to practice. He just sits on the bleachers and draws. That's all he does.
Somehow Chance finds that really interesting, and he also seems to miss all his baskets when the guy's there.----------
5 times Will goes to Lucas' practice to see Chance and 1 time Chance joins Hellfire to see Will
AU = Upside Down shenanigans ended in season 2, so season 3 and season 4 have no upside down (and season 5 isn't real lol)

Summary
He tells himself Chance is just… convenient. A new person. A distraction. Someone who doesn’t come with years of complicated history, someone who doesn’t make Will feel like he’s standing in the shadow of someone else’s love story.
He tells himself it would be nice to have something uncomplicated. Then he thinks about Chance’s voice in art class. About the way Chance said, you make it look like it matters. Will doesn’t know how to handle someone treating him like he matters without making it into a hunger. Will doesn’t know how to want anything without turning it into a desperate, aching need.
