    Summary

    Coming back from the Upside Down doesn't mean Will Byers fully left it. Part of him is sort of stuck there, perpetually, and he doesn't know if he'll ever get himself back.

    But Hawkins is caving in on itself more and more as the days stack up, and he is beginning to wonder if it even matters, anymore.

    The end is near. He knows it. Death is as inescapable as the next rising sun.

    ☠︎︎ ⋆₊ ♱ ‧⁺⋆ 🪦 ‧⁺

     

    (A Stranger Thing Season 5 retelling, very skewed from canonical events but still holding enough similarities for me to acknowledge the plotline is influenced by the TV show, no matter how appalling it may have been.)

    Summary

    Mike goes to confront Will, but after he finds out Will has been abused he just fucking kills Carlton instead.

    READ THE TAGS. PLEASE GOD READ THE TAGS. THIS IS A VERY ANGSTY, HEAVY FIC WITH A LOT OF DARK THEMES. READ THOSE TAGS. THANK YOU.

    Slow updates possibly, because I have trauma with DV myself. This fic started as a project to help me work through my trauma, but after I got a little tipsy and decided to post it on TikTok a lot of people wanted to read this fic. I hope this finds someone who will enjoy reading as much as I will enjoy writing, but due to how close to home the abuse aspect is, it might be a while between chapters. But I promise I won't abandon it, and will still post as regularly as I can. This fic is too important for me to just abandon 🤗 Y'all just might have to bear with me.

    Also some of the chapters are REALLY long lol so it takes a while to edit them.

    Summary

    Five years ago, Mike Wheeler destroyed the only person he ever loved with a rejection he told himself was mercy. Now he's an NYPD officer drowning in debt and self-loathing. Will Byers is Manhattan's art-world darling, brilliant and beautiful, hollowed out from the inside, slowly killing himself in ways no one bothers to notice.

    When a Mafia money-laundering case turns Will into the only living witness, Mike is assigned to protect the person he once swore to cherish and then shattered with his own hands.

    It was only when a bullet buried itself in the chest of the one he loved most that Mike finally understood how merciless fate could be, teaching him the meaning of love at the exact moment it demanded the ultimate price.
    But can a heart that has been broken ever deliver mercy to the one who broke it?

    Gunfights, crime thriller, slow burn, heavy angst, and an eventual opening of Club Byler.

    Summary

    Mike looked at him unimpressed. “See you say that. You say that. But you never actually mean it.” He flung his hands out, gesturing at him. “You’re always making stupid promises that you can’t keep.”

    Will gaped at him. This was ludicrous. “Name one promise that I haven’t kept!”

    “You keep leaving!” Mike burst out. He practically shouted it. If the outburst took him by surprise, he didn’t show it. “Everytime I just get you back you end up leaving again. And it was fine at first, I guess. With the Upside Down and the MindFlayer. Like at least then we knew how to bring you back. But now there’s nothing taking you away but you still aren’t here. And I can’t figure out why. I’ve racked my brain trying to understand what’s going on with you but I just don’t get it! We’re supposed to be best friends but lately it’s only felt like that on my side of things.”
    ____

    The Upside Down is gone. Or so everyone keeps telling him. But Will knows the truth. You can burn all the vines and close all the gates. But you can’t flush out a virus once it’s already been spread. After all, how do you kill something that’s intertwined with the very root of Hawkins without affecting the real world?
