    Summary

    "I have Ms. Kelly today," Max says, almost bitterly. "You'll be okay at lunch without me?" she says it sarcastically, like a joke, but there's an undercurrent of something else in her voice; for a moment, she almost sounds scared.

    Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"

    Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."

    or: a shared tragedy brings max and will together for their first year of high school in hawkins. they stay together, even as their demons rise again. a s4 rewrite, in which joyce is the one who dies at the end of s3 and thus the byers + el never move.

    Summary

    “M–My liege,” the man grits through his teeth, pain clearly written in his expression, but looking in peace at the same time. He stares up at Will with a devotion Will is unfamiliar, as if he's looking right at the sun after years living in the dark. Like a week living in the upside down, staring up at his mother and Jonathan and Mike like he could finally breathe again. “You m–must have come for me– at last. I am so grateful. I awaited for so– so long.”
    His bloody hand softens around his wrist just to raise up enough to give Will a caress on his cheek, delicate, like he would do to a flower. Will barely feels the touch, but it sends a shiver down his spine all the same, and his eyes wells. Behind him, a chorus of gasps.
    After that, the man with Mike's face loses consciousness, hand falling down on Will's lap.

    One night, Will Byers looks at the sky and wishes to be loved back.
    From another universe, a Paladin answers his call.

    Summary

    “They’re the American frontrunners,” Max explains.

    “You’re having lunch with your fiercest competitors?” Mike questions, taking Will’s outstretched hand and giving it a firm shake. It’s warm and soft, unexpectedly so. Will is smiling at him, also warm and soft—and Mike, not usually very smiley, can’t resist returning the expression as he takes his seat at the table.

    “Fiercest?” Jane asks, her tone bewildered. She reaches out and grabs Will’s jaw with her hand, shaking his face back and forth as he scowls. “Look at this face! Does this look fierce to you?”

    Or, an Olympic Figure Skating au.

    Summary

    Slowly, he presses his thumb over Will’s, over the fall-faded smatter of freckles on his skin. There is no sound other than their breathing and their heartbeats.

    “I missed the sun”, Mike says. “I missed you.”

     

    //

    Mike is the one who sees Robin and Vickie kiss in the hospital, and the world is ending, and Will is constantly bathed in sunlight.
