    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    Will Byers has a special connection to Henry Creel that no one else understands, and using it may be the only way to win. But weaponizing Will? It comes with a cost.

    Eleven understands that cost better than anyone: the cost of being a weapon rather than a person. And as long as she’s able to protect people, it’s a price she willingly pays.

    As Mike watches the world fall apart and realizes what sacrifices are demanded of the people most important to him, he refuses to accept a future where the price of love is self-erasure.

    ~

    OR: a Byler endgame season 5 fix-it centered equally on Mike, Will, and El. Starts toward the end of "Shock Jock."

    The Thirteenth Hour
    by slutforsweaters

    season 5 rewrite/fix-it with multiple POVs (mostly Mike, El and Will) with better writing than season 5 and of course endgame Byler (paintinggate, and i smell some basementgame coming too, also kinda reverse conformitygate?)

    ------------------

    i must have been hiking for quite a while cause this is PEAK. like literally fuck everything this is THE BEST Stranger Things fic I have EVERRRR read. The pacing, the prose, the characterisation, the story... truly a masterpiece, and I write this while there are only four chapters out. This is a must read if you also think the D*ffers fucked up astronomically and need a good season 5 rewrite

    Summary

    If there’s one thing that Will never expected to happen, a half goat man saving him and his mama from a bunch of angry bird things was definitely on the top of that list.

    He blinks, chewing on the straw of his juice box, bright blue eyes flicking between the goat man (Maron or something, he doesn’t really remember at this point) and his mama.

    “My dad’s a what?” He asks, not understanding.

    or

    the Percy Jackson series from the POV of Will Solace.

    Summary

    The Inteyvat blossoms soften in Dainsleif's gloved hands, colour sweeping back into the petals, the palest of blue and purest of white. The flowers glow with renewed life before dissolving slowly into dust, dispersing with the wind.

    Halfdan looks up at Dainsleif, meets that unwavering gaze, and speaks the words that his heart has always known. "Dain, I'm home."

     

    (Halfdan wakes up at the border that separates life and death with only the memory of his name, a cluster of hardened flowers in his hands, and a young woman with a mischievous grin on her face and a glowing firewood staff in her hands, staring right at him.

    Hu Tao has plenty to say to this being that is not quite dead and whose continued existence is definitely unnatural, but given Halfdan’s rather stubborn will to live, she might just have to make another exception to her duties of maintaining the natural order.

    AKA a canon-compliant Halfdain fix-it fic set after the events of 2.6 Requiem of the Echoing Depths).

    if it is fated
    by xtwilightzx (blackidyll)

    in which Halfdan manages to come back from the dead and somehow becomes besties with Hu Tao, and Dainsleif is probably crying

    Summary

    After everything that they had been through together, Will Byers is sure one thing remains unchanged: his feelings for Mike Wheeler are one-sided. Though he's living in the Wheelers' basement, he tries his best to get over Mike and fully accept himself with the help of Robin Buckley. Mike, meanwhile, is struggling with emotions he doesn't yet understand and a twisting feeling in his stomach at the thought of Will and Robin getting close so quickly. Misunderstandings grow, jealousy simmers, and buried feelings refuse to stay quiet as the boys figure themselves out.
