Summary
Slowly, he rolls onto his side, curling inward without meaning to. His palms settle against his lower stomach, fingers spread wide, hands bigger than they used to be. Or maybe all of him is bigger, and he's aging, and his body is just more his now than he can remember.
He feels so empty.
Just one heartbeat, only his voice in his head, one lonely body curled up in bed.
---
“Will, come on.” The doorknob rattles. “You're freaking me out.” Mike sounds closer now, worried. “I'm sick of you pushing me away. I'm not joking around.”
Will imagines him standing on the other side of the door, one hand gripping the frame, eyebrows drawn together. Waiting, the way he always is.
“At least let me know you're alive in there.” Mike's voice cracks, and the sound makes Will's throat tighten immediately. “Will, I'm serious, and I mean it. I'll break this door down.”
or, my take on Will's trauma from Henry's assault and the slugs, post canon. Read tags!!

Summary
It was only supposed to be one harmless lie. Sneaking around with Chance Fernandez wouldn’t hurt anybody. For once, Will Byers was going to do what he wanted. For once, he’d have control over something in his life. Just this once, he wanted to experience something normal.
Or
Will starts hooking up with Chance behind everyone’s backs and it triggers a downward spiral.

Summary
“Hopper doesn’t know I’m gay.”
Jonathan squinted at him, mind prone to lag in the morning. “Why would Hopper not know? You told us as clearly as you could without using the word—”
“He was already on the way to Radio Shack,” Will said in a rush. He gripped his bag tighter so his arms wouldn’t start to flail with panicky emphasis. “He wasn’t there when I came out.”

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.
