    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

    At twenty-two, Mike’s life is far better than he ever thought it would be. He graduated from The University of Chicago in May, after getting his diploma in English, and his entire future being at his fingertips (something he always thought he would be terrified of) feels almost exhilarating.

    He loves his apartment back in Chicago and it’s horrible winters, he loves his shitty car that’s dented to hell and back. He loves sitting at his typewriter as novel ideas flow from his fingertips. He loves that he finally did it, he escaped Hawkins. It’s something he’s proud of even four years later, because he left and grew into himself and didn’t become his goddamn father like he was always terrified he would. He loves that he healed enough to willingly return to his godawful hometown for his sister’s wedding.

    More than anything else, he is completely and utterly in love with Will Byers.

    And that is something his best friend can never, ever know.

    OR: the party returns to hawkins for jonathan and nancy's wedding in 1993, and mike is sick of pining after his best friend from a distance

    Summary

    Will’s stomach growled loudly. He scoffed, shaking the bitter taste away.

    “Was that your stomach?” Mike asked, his voice lighter.

    Will nodded, embarrassed. “Yeah, sorry, I get really hungry sometimes after these. Well,” he paused, the bitter taste refusing to leave his mouth, “after this specific type of nightmare, anyway.”
    -
    Set in the 18-month timeskip between seasons 4 and 5. Will's time in the Upside Down impacted him, and not just the monsters. His nightmares are sometimes just the normal horror of survival, of being hungry. Mike helps.
