    Summary

    “And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”

    Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”

    What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?

    “Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”

    The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.

    “Maybe something here wanted you back.”

    Or, a fix-it fic modern-gothic take on Will Byers' story in Season 5 .

    Summary

    “It’s like he…” Robin trailed off.

    Will raised his eyebrows at her imploringly.

    Robin fiddled with her hair. “So you guys read comic books and all that nerdy shit, right?”

    Lucas scoffed.

    “So you know how there’s always this one supervillain with this really weird interest in the heroine?” Robin asked. “Like he thinks she’s too good for everyone else and should just… like… be with him?”

    Will’s cheeks were turning a hot scarlet. “Robin–”

    Summary

    After Hawkins split open in fissures exposing the Upside Down, the Byers find themselves stuck in the town after their Spring break visit. Military occupies Hawkins, heavily restricting who goes in and out. The Wheelers have graciously allowed the houseless Byers to lodge with them for the time being, much to Will's mortification, for he couldn't reconcile with his feelings for Mike.

    OR

    Will starts smoking to cope with Mike avoiding him while Mike basically stalks Will.

    (Set in the SIXTH month of the 18-month time skip before S5, fall of 1986. The party are mostly 15 turning 16, while Robin, Steve and Jonathan are 19 turning 20)
