    Summary

    When Will erased himself from the memories of his loved ones, he didn't anticipate the consequences. Now that the Mind Flayer has allowed him to return to the life he chose to leave behind, he must adjust to a world where Will Byers never existed, assuming the role of the long-lost sheriff's nephew.
    He would need Steve by his side more than ever, and Steve is willing to be Will's anchor, though he suspects Will hasn't been completely honest with him.

    Is it possible to restart a life you never thought you would have? Can everything be magically resolved?

    Summary

    Mike looks back up at his face, still tense, but getting some kind of color back in him.
    “Hey, Will. It looks like this is working a bit. Um… so, I think I’m gonna try something else.”
    He glances at Jasmine, contemplating. What if music isn’t the cure?

    Summary

    “What about me?” Will asks, “I was there…”

     

    “What do you mean? I- I just-” Mike is about to remind him.

     

    “No,” Will cuts him off, “I mean, younger me…”

     

    Will’s confusion and dizziness only confounds Mike. Will is fully taken aback by everything that just happened, and Mike not knowing what he’s talking about slightly frustrates him.

     

    “I was- I swear I was in Castle Byers, and I was alone, but I was also there? Just younger!" Will begins slurring his words.

     

    “We need to get out of here and get you somewhere safe, Will.”

    Summary

    Will has always suffered from hideous nightmares. He has tried everything to make them disappear, but nothing seems to work. Worst of all: He always sees the same person in his dreams, reminding him of his past and the pain he endures every day.
    However, on the first day of school, everything changes. Not only did he have a very different dream from the previous ones, but he would also experience something out of this world. And even if Mike swears to God he doesn't care, oh God, he definitely does.

    A tale of two childhood friends who ended up hating each other because of their inability to see what was in front of them. Regret, longing, strange events, a superhero, and love confessions.

    Summary

    They both slowly walk to the door, making sure their steps make as little noise as possible, with Mike always staying behind Will. Once they reach the door, Will slowly opens it with the head of his gun. The door creaks, making noise. Will and Mike flinch but don’t stop walking.

    They step out of the house but leave the door ajar, just in case they need to make a quick escape. Their eyes scan the surroundings, taking in every shadow, every flicker of movement. There’s no sign of any dangerous creature.

    Mike and Will both sigh in relief. “Okay... I think there aren’t any creatures out here,” Will says. “Let’s go inside, Mike.” He turns back toward the door, ready to return to the relative safety of the house.

    A lot of things happen at once.

    OR:

    Mike and Will get stuck together in the Upside Down without knowing what to do. (You know, the usual).

    Summary

    HAWKINS, 1990
    No one from the party was supposed to be in Hawkins over Christmas, which suited them all just fine because lately, things have been…different. Max broke up with Lucas before another stint in rehab, Mike and Will haven’t spoken since summer, and El and Dustin have been far removed from everyone on a backpacking trip and a top-secret project respectively.

    But somehow, for those two weeks, they all find their way back to their hometown. It’s like old times- with the same old wounds re-opening, threatening to tear them apart again, this time for good.

    Tis the damn season, right?

    Summary

    Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.

    Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.

    The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.

    A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.

    The beast’s got him.
