Summary
Will comes out of the trance easily; maybe too easily, but it's fine. Soon enough, he’s up and walking and talking and he cries about it in his mother’s arms just like he always does. He tells her there’s something she needs to know, about Vecna, about himself. He gets Mike to gather everyone to the lounge. And then, he watches in horror from behind a glass screen inside his own mind as what feels like half of Hawkins assembles in the WSQK station lounge in front of him.
or;
Will's coming out scene had some inconsistencies. What if that's because it wasn't actually Will doing the talking?Series

Summary
He thinks about Robin, and about what she said about coming out to Steve. How free she’d felt. Will hasn’t felt free since 1983. Maybe not ever, now that he’s thinking about it. This weight has been pressing down on him forever and he’s barely shouldering it lately. And now, on top of that, Henry is using it as a weapon; a foot on his neck, ready to suffocate him if he doesn’t submit to him.
Will might not be able to free himself from Vecna and his schemes, but there’s one thing Will can do to take some of the power away from him. Henry has taken everything from him - he won’t let him take this.
A fix-it-fic for Will's coming out scene, because he deserved so much better

Summary
Sometimes, Will really, really wishes he could catch a fucking break.
As if getting dragged into the Upside Down and making everyone rescue him a second time wasn’t bad enough, this time, somehow, Will also leaves the Upside Down with the ability to read people’s minds.
At least he’s not throwing up slugs this time.or;
Will gets telepathic powers, and can't control them. Through this, he accidentally learns that his best friend is having some less than heterosexual thoughts.
The only problem is he doesn't seem to know he's having them.Series

Summary
Since losing his sight, the old man has learned that hands can speak. There is a great deal to be learned about a person from the feel of their hands and the way they use them.
The stranger’s hands are freezing - not just cold like he’s been outside without gloves, but as cold as the grave. It’s not a phrase that the old man usually uses, but for some reason it’s the first thing that comes to mind. This man is as cold as the dead.The blind old man could feel the Creature's scars; what else might he have noticed?
A story from the perspective of the blind man.

Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.
(Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

Summary
Ilya Rozanov, over the years, as seen through the eyes of the people of Boston.
A tall man in a heavy coat stops by their house’s fence, falling to a level squat and holding the back of his fingers through the slats like an offering. And there’s Mocha, her skittish Siamese, going right up to him. The cat Ashley’s had since she was a teenager, who hates strangers, who ran even from her little brother during that first year, shoving the flat of her head against this man’s hand and turning around so he can pet along her outstretched spine. In his other hand, there’s a cigarette. He pulls at it periodically, turning his head from the wind and blowing the smoke away from Mocha.
“What the fuck?” she says aloud.

Summary
Will shakes his head. “No, I mean. I mean I— I do like girls, just not like you. Not like that. I mean.” He groans, frustrated. “It’s not just that I don’t like girls—”
“You like…boys?” Lucas offers, and Will’s head snaps up in surprise. “Um, not to step on your moment, and I’m proud of you and all, but…Will, I already knew that.”
“You— you knew?”
“C’mon, man, you’re one of my best friends. Yeah, I knew,” Lucas says. Relief hits his bloodstream like a drug—of all the somethings, this is the best possible outcome. “You like Mike, right?”
Will stammers, jaw dropping. “Wh— what? No! I don’t— I don’t like Mike. I mean I…I did, I used to, but I don’t anymore. I swear.”
“Dude, it’s cool,” Lucas says slowly. He smirks. “I mean, I don’t get why you’d go for Mike when you have a much better option right here—” He does a gratuitous shimmy, and Wills snorts a laugh, “But I guess there’s no accounting for taste.”
(Or: Will patches Lucas up after the Demogorgon attack and they Talk About Things. Canon divergent missing scene for 5x05.)
