    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.”

    A collection of moments between cowboy Mike and saloon worker Will as they start to understand what they want in life. Story set in the Red Dead Redemption universe. Byler Big Bang 2024

    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)

    Summary

    He thinks back to the lights flickering in his home. To the Party drifting away from each other—drifting away from him—in a way that now feels like far too familiar of a scheme. He thinks back to that dream he had of Will, after months of not having a single one, and to all the other, smaller moments when things didn’t make sense, and—

    Mike understands.

    He finally understands.

    “It’s not real,” Mike whispers.

    Or:

    In the aftermath of Vecna’s defeat and El’s death, Mike begins to realize everything is not as it seems in Hawkins.

    Summary

    “It doesn’t matter if it takes a hundred more crawls,” Mike says, planting his hands against the table. “A thousand! We don’t stop until we’re goddamn sure that wrinkled, rotting, noseless bastard is dead and gone and never coming back.”

    Will’s smiling, now, looking reassured. And Mike’s saying it for El’s sake, but also Will’s. Max’s. Eddie’s, too. Everyone who’s been hurt by this monster, who won’t be able to sleep at night with even the slimmest chance that he might still be out there.

    He has to do something. And until there’s a better plan, or more information to go off of, this is the only option.

    He puts his hand out above the table. “Everyone in?”

    Lucas, looking determined, slaps his palm on top of Mike’s. Then Will. Then, when there’s only one of them left, they turn to look at Dustin.

    Dustin’s mouth twitches to the side. His torn Hellfire shirt ripples in the late-autumn breeze. “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter,” he says. His voice is low, almost scarily detached. Like he has nothing left to lose. “Just wish I could do it myself.”

    season 5, but make it byler. (again!)

    Summary

    Her hands rose slowly, hesitantly, to his face. Warm and just faintly shaking, they cupped his jaw like he was the fragile one. Her fingers stroked lightly over the scruff on his chin, sliding to his cheekbone, and he leaned into it without thinking. Like he always did.

    JJ swallowed, his throat dry, and kept his voice low and steady, the way he knew she needed it. “What is it, Baby?”

    Kiara’s brown eyes held his, steady now, shimmering with something that made his chest ache. The love there was so palpable it felt like it poured straight into him, filling every crack he’d ever carried.

    And then she said it.

    “I’m pregnant.”
     
    ——————

    JJ Maybank’s faced guns, storms, and death itself… but diapers? Yeah, that’s the real adventure. Luckily, he’s got Kiara to keep him from screwing it up. This is the story of JJ stumbling, laughing, and cussing his way through preparing for fatherhood—while learning he can be more than he ever thought possible: a good dad, and the kind of husband Kiara deserves
