    Summary

    One thing about Will Byers was that he did not confess to people. Not because he thought he was too good for it. Actually, quite the opposite. When he fell in love, he forgot how it felt to be a functioning member of society. Instead of risking the chance of being seen as an absolute creep, he wrote letters that he kept in a velvet, heart-shaped box. This way, he could feel like he got some sense of closure as the feelings eventually faded. Four boys had the honor of being the subjects of these letters.

    What happens when someone manages to send out the letters that Will intended to take to the grave?

    Summary

    “We could try it!” Richie said quickly beside him, moving much closer to Will. “You and I, we could try it.” 

    “Try...” Will couldn't finish that line, not when he felt Richie burning a hole in the side of his face.

    Richie seamlessly continued what Will had left hanging.

    “Kiss, like... like everyone else does, you know. Lips touching, maybe a little tongue and saliva, and... whatever you want”

    Richie Tozier came to visit his family in Hawkins for the summer of 1985 without many expectations. It was just a coincidence that Will Byers was the only one in the Party without a partner, a perfect opportunity for practice for when they both got girlfriends, right?

    Summary

    Now, someone walked into the room. A boy, awkwardly standing at the side of his bed, looking over him worriedly. His hair was brown and scruffy, and he had big baby doe eyes and a yellow-and-blue horizontally-striped shirt like a cartoon character. The window was lighting him up like he was important to Mike’s narrative. The curtains are blue, thought Mike, this boy is light. I love metaphors. Maybe he was high on the pain meds. Upon seeing him, Mike felt a great affection, a great peace. Plus, he had long eyelashes. Mike almost giggled to himself. He was definitely a little high.

    “Hi.” breathed Mike.

    “Hi.” he said, hesitating.

    “We’re friends?” Mike asked hopefully.

    Or: During the Party's final battle with Vecna, Mike is gravely injured and loses his memories. He wakes up in a hospital only remembering a handful of inconsequential little things, like how much he loves a boy who seems like light.

    Summary

    Will wasn’t having a good night's sleep tonight. His side hurt where he lay, and his neck felt stiff and twisted. Had his bed always been this cold and hard?
    Something was creeping up his leg; it felt freezing and slimy, like a vine.
    A familiar chill went up his spine. The smell, the darkness, the cold.
    The thing was twisting around his ankle, sliding up all the way to his knee, when he was yanked.
    He finally opened his eyes only to see darkness. He was being dragged through dirt and branches.
    And as the thing dragging him pulled him down into the earth, down into his doom, he reached his hand one last time; he tried to grab something, someone, anything, but nothing could save him this time.

    “Hey, Will,” Mike was walking up to him as he spoke. “Do you want me to come by your house later today? I just started this new comic, and I think you’ll really like it. I can bring it to you, and we can read it together, if you want.”

    Or: Will is having nightmares again, and Mike tries his best to cheer him up.

    (Set at some point before the events of season 2.)

    Summary

    A ripple. Mike’s head shoots back upwards, willing his eyeballs to develop night vision as he squints at the lake. Maybe he should've been eating carrots like Nancy said. The lake remains eerily calm. Mike squints harder.

    Silence. Even the trees have quietened, like someone turning down the volume on the world.

    The torch flicks back on just as something grabs at Mike’s ankle.

    It falls somewhere to his side and Mike sees, past the frantic up and down of his chest, something crawl out of the lake.

    -or-

    Will is a zombie boy, properly this time!
