    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

    “D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.

    “What?”

    “How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.

    “You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.

    “Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”

    Summary

    “It was a seven.”

    “Huh?” Mike turns to see Will lingering behind.

    “The roll. It was a seven,” Will admits with an earnestness that takes Mike aback. He realizes all at once that Lucas must have lied. Either that, or Will had been keeping it a secret. He’s not totally sure which is more likely. “The Demogorgon, it got me.”

    Summary

    NOVEMBER 6TH, 1986

    In the three years since Will Byers went missing, the town of Hawkins has been under constant threat of the creatures from the Upside Down. But now, eight months after Vecna has ruptured a giant rift through the town of Hawkins, that threat is about to reemerge. Unaware of Vecna's true plans and trapped under a military quarantine, our heroes will not only be forced to face the greatest evil from the Upside Down, but also overcome impossible odds, in order to save their town, and each other, one last time.

    Written in a SCREENPLAY format, this fic operates as a diverging conclusion for the final season of Stranger Things.

    Summary

    She doesn’t know how she got here.

    Lying on the floor with every inch of her body aching. The scent of vomit in her nose. Lips trembling and tasting like sick.

    John B lies in front of her and pretends not to smell the death on her breath. He just watches her with those eyes – the ones that had always gotten him everything. Dates at The Boneyard. Extra attention from teachers. Even a crush from Kie once.

    JJ would have done anything for those eyes. Would have given anything. And did, a mean little voice whispers to her.

    She doesn’t know how she got here either.

    In a world without JJ. In a world without the fucking sun.

    OR

    Following Morocco, the Pogues come home one short. While the rest of the island seems to be moving forward, Kiara finds herself standing still in a world haunted by the boy she lost. (AKA, the slowest of slow burn fix-its)
