    Summary

    He adapts well to each occupation.
    Something moves inside the body's stomach; it protrudes outwards, then settles back into place.

    It will serve perfectly.

    You feel it, don't you, William?

    Will doesn't respond, not with his voice. But the body beneath him heaves faintly, forcing a whimper.

    Every inch of you knows. Every pulse. Every tremor. I have already claimed it.

    The words are like a caress and a claw at once. Warmth snakes along his spine – Will's spine – impossibly close, like a hand resting where none should be.

    Why fight to protect what is already mine?

    Three months after the bridge collapse, when Hawkins begins to rebuild and things feel normal again, something starts stirring in the recesses of Will's mind.

    Or, someone.

    Summary

    A phantom pressure crawls up his throat. For a split second he swears he can feel it again; the snake-like vine forcing its way down his windpipe, cold and invasive; the wisps of decay-filled air he manages between the ceaseless choking; the taste of dirt and blood and something electric yet all-consumingly dark and evil flooding his senses—

    OR

    A comprehensive (though byler-centred) rewrite of Season 5, starting from Will waking up from a dream where he relives/remembers what we see in those first five minutes.

    Summary

    Will wiped his damp eyes with the back of his hand and then looked back at Mike. He said, with a wobble in his voice, “I just don’t want to go. I know it’s stupid, it’s only a month and I’ve done it before, but Jonathan was always there, and now he won’t be. And I’m going to miss you so much. I’m going to miss everyone.”

    Or:

    Will spends every July at Lonnie’s due to his parents’ custody agreement from their divorce. Fueled by a heartsickness that he doesn’t quite have a name for yet, Mike does his best to make things better.

    Summary

    When Steve's phone rings at 2am, he doesn't expect Jonathan to be the one on the other end, and he especially doesn't expect to hear Jonathan begging for him to help them. But here he was, not even putting shoes on as he raced to the Byers house to reach Will in time, because Jonathan was still twenty minutes away and Lonnie was back. Steve didn't ask, but the pure terror in Jonathan's voice told him all he needed to know. Will was in serious trouble, and Steve wouldn't let what happen to him as a kid happen to Will Byers.

    OR

    Lonnie comes back and tries to take Will from Joyce, Steve is the one who gets to save the day, and in return, he gets to say things to Lonnie he wished someone would've said to his father. A series of POVs of The Night It All Happened, and the healing of Steve Harrington.

    Summary

    Will raised an eyebrow at his friend's antics, then dropped his eyes to where he knew Dustin had reached a hand out towards him.

    “This summer, we stick together. You and me, Byers.”

    Will grinned, taking Dustin’s hand and shaking it. “You and me, Henderson.”

    A rewrite of S3:

    The night Dustin gets back from Camp Knowhere, he brings the Party up to the highest point in Hawkins to set up Cerebro. He thought that his friends would be excited to have him back-- even if it wasn't the most entertaining to sit on a hill and talk into a radio with no response, he thought they would at least wait for him before going home. He thought it was going to be the best summer ever.

    Instead, he finds himself and the one friend that didn't leave him, Will Byers, intercepting a weird Russian transmission.

    And, well... if he couldn't have the best summer ever, at least he and Will would have an eventful one.
