    Summary

    "I have Ms. Kelly today," Max says, almost bitterly. "You'll be okay at lunch without me?" she says it sarcastically, like a joke, but there's an undercurrent of something else in her voice; for a moment, she almost sounds scared.

    Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"

    Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."

    ~~

    or: a shared tragedy brings max and will together for their first year of high school in hawkins. they stay together, even as their demons rise again. a s4 rewrite, in which joyce is the one who dies at the end of s3 and thus the byers + el never move.

    Summary

    "Will should’ve found it unpleasant, disturbing maybe.
    He didn’t. He felt intrigued and more excited than he's felt in a long time. Whatever lived in the woods had seen him.
    And it had let him go."

    Will Byers, plagued by his morbid curiosity for the disappearances and deaths in Montauk, encounters a strange forest and an even stranger creature. One, Mike Wheeler, the one responsible for it.

    Summary

    Will thought things were supposed to be easier after Vecna was defeated. Instead, Mike is missing, Eleven is dead, and months have passed without answers. The last time Will spoke to Mike, he was spiraling—insisting Vecna might still be alive, that Eleven might be too, that none of them were ever truly safe. Then Mike disappeared. No note. No explanation. Nothing.

    Everyone else has left Hawkins, busy rebuilding their lives, and Will can’t shake the feeling that he’s the only one who still cares that Mike is gone. Or maybe that guilt is his alone to carry.

    Will tells himself the strangeness is over—until he returns to his apartment and finds a massive hole torn through the floor. Sitting at his dining table, casually eating an apple, is Mike Wheeler. Except this Mike is wearing strange, battered black armor, and there’s something wrong about him.

    Because this isn’t his Mike. This is a Mike from another universe—a vampire paladin summoned to defeat the darkness they call Vecna. But Vecna is already dead. Right? Right?! Maybe Will just needs sleep. Or maybe everything is about to get much worse.

    [OR: Vampire Paladin Mike x Will = Evil Not So Evil Byler]

    Summary

    District 12's Will Byers has never claimed to be lucky for a single day of his life, but being reaped for the hunger games twice in a span of five years? That has to be a joke, even for someone as unlucky as he is.

    At the very same time, Mike Wheeler from district 1 could not care less if he wins or not. The Games are not terrifying to him, they’re just something he exists for now. He doesn’t want to die, sure, but living in such a boring, repetitive world doesn’t mean much to him anyways.

    Really, neither of them expected to find love in this hell on earth.

    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 long.

    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 instead of his parents' marriage.
