Summary
When Will was ten-years-old, he knew the rules of his house without anyone ever sitting him down to explain them. When the front door closed too hard, or when the beer cans stacked up too high, Will understood how he was supposed to act. Like he was invisible.
Pre–Season One, Will Byers learns how to stay invisible in a house ruled by his father Lonnie’s moods, even though Jonathan tries to take the worst of it. Thankfully, Will finds brief safety at school with his friends, especially his best friend Mike, where life feels lighter and more predictable. But as Lonnie stays home longer and his behaviour escalates, the cracks begin to show, and Mike begins to wonder how he can help his friend out in what could be a very bad home situation.

Summary
The war is over, and the world is supposed to be loud with victory. But in the dim light of Mike Wheeler’s bedroom, the silence is deafening. Will Byers is a ghost inhabiting a body that won't stop hurting. His eyes sting with the phantom heat of a connection that should be dead, and the weight of what he saw is a debt he thinks he can only pay back in pain.
He doesn't want to be fixed. He doesn't think he’s worth the effort. But his friends have never been good at following orders— especially when it comes to leaving him behind.
OR
Five times Will refused to be cared for, and the one time he finally asked to be held.

Summary
Even after all of this time… saying yes? It was the best thing I’d ever done, Mike.
Will’s voice had been so calm when he said it. Gentle. Certain.
...
Will’s lips press together. Mike tracks it like a hawk. It’s just them here- he’s allowed to care. It’s just them.
“I’m not hungry.”
“You haven’t been hungry in two days.” Silence. it gnaws at his insides. “Will, please-”
Then, barely audible, “I’m tired, Mike.”
Or, a small post season five fix it fic, because depression doesn't just disappear, and Mike and Will need to have a talk right now more than ever.
