Summary
Will Byers was the only one out of his friends willing to cooperate with the scientists. The lab was cold and unforgiving, the scientists cruel, and yet, Will cooperated.
That's not to say he's not a survivor or a fighter. It's not to say that he's not strong. Will was just a fighter in a different way. He was fighting for his friends.
----
OR: An AU where the whole party has El's powers and are trapped in the Hawkins Lab.

Summary
The cold winters of 1978 in Hawkins, Indiana brought extremely low temperatures to the residents of the town.
Due to a tragic and unforeseen accident at the Byers residence, a seven and eleven year old Will and Jonathan Byers were forced to live with the last person they’d wished to ever see again: their abusive father, Lonnie Byers.
Years passed, and the two of them learned to take care of themselves, but tragedy shapes character— ergo, resulting in change.
Just when things couldn’t get any worse, a twelve year old Will Byers was forcefully kidnapped and taken to an unknown and dangerous alternate dimension on November 3rd, 1983.
Almost broken beyond all repair, a strange but powerful entity lurked closely in the shadows and appeared before Will Byers. He offered to show young Will the twisted and cruel nature of the human world.
Will, stuck with nowhere to turn, agreed to learn the world through a new perspective. Henry’s perspective.
OR, it’s an arcane inspired story and a very much needed Will Byers villain arc where Will during his darkest time gets taken under the wing of Henry/vecna.

Summary
Henry and you were inseparable - as much as two children could be under the watchful eyes of a prison disguised as a laboratory. Shared confinement only drew you closer, until love became the one thing the walls couldn’t contain. With his help, you escaped, but Henry did not.
Years later, the memory of him never faded. Believing he was dead was painful enough - but discovering he was alive, broken, and still trapped in a new, darker prison gave your grief a purpose. Driven by love and desperation, you strike a dangerous, deceptive bargain with Vecna, risking your mind and soul for a chance to be with the boy you never stopped loving - and who never stopped loving you.

Summary
How can a damnation feel like a benediction?
Will Byers had always known that he was connected to the Upside Down in a way no one else ever had been or ever would be. He was sure it would kill him. It was his own personal hell.
Will didn’t expect it to welcome him home, but it seemed the Upside Down had other plans for him. That was alright with him; all the better to tear it down from the inside. Now he just had to find a way to make sure he didn’t tear himself down with it.
UPDATE: sweeping edits made throughout, so if you've read this before, feel free to give it a reread! I think ya'll will like some of the changes I've made.
