Summary
District 12's Will Byers has never claimed to be lucky for a single day of his life, but being reaped for the hunger games twice in a span of five years? That has to be a joke, even for someone as unlucky as he is.
At the very same time, Mike Wheeler from District 1 could not care less if he wins or not. The Games are not terrifying to him, they’re just something he exists for now. He doesn’t want to die, sure, but living in such a boring, repetitive world doesn’t mean much to him anyways.
Really, neither of them expected to find love in this hell on earth.

Summary
“I- where are we?” Max said, turning about in the basement again.
“We’re in my basement?” Mike asked, watching Max as she surveyed the room with his arms crossed.
“It’s not… right though. Are we still in Henry’s mind?” she asked, turning back to Mike who was looking at her like she grew a second head. That concern was still shining in his eyes.
“Henry?” he asked quietly. “Max, he’s been dead for over a year.”
That gave Max a pause, because what the actual fuck was Mike on? Did he stumble into Jonathan’s old weed collection?
“What?” she asked, her hand stilled on the doorknob as she turned back to face Mike. “He’s not dead. We never even got the chance to try to kill him.”
Mike let out a stiff laugh in disbelief.
“Never had a chance to try? I watched Mrs. Byers chop his head from his body with an axe. Seems pretty fucking dead to me.”
This time it was Max looking at Mike like he had grown a second, third and fourth head. She narrowed her eyes, her mouth hanging agape for a moment before realization crashed into her.—---
Part Two of I Would Rather Not Go (Part One: The Eye)
I would definitely recommend reading that before this one since it’s quite canon divergent!Series

Summary
"Oh god, oh god, we've gotta get you to the hospital,” Mike panics. He pulls away and studies Will for a moment before barreling on. “Holy shit, one second you were just standing there and the next your eyes were rolling back and you were unconscious for a whole seven seconds-”
Maybe Will really did bite the dust in the Abyss and this is the afterlife. He knows where they say boys like him end up after death.
But if hell was a baby-faced Mike Wheeler, still looking at him like he'd hung the stars, then maybe an eternity here wouldn't be so long.
In which Will's connection to the hive mind has consequences in the final battle, sending him back in time to November 6th 1983.
It's just like Back to the Future, if Marty McFly was a twelve–year–old with a bowl cut trying to save the world instead of his parents' marriage.

Summary
"Sullivan's pace quickened as he strode down the halls of the lab in the Hellish dimension, the last thirty minutes stuck in his mind on a loop. Some trouble makers breaking into the base, a swarm of those vile undead monsters, a demon shooting his hand through the face of Ramirez-
And a boy, snapping the limbs of one of those monsters without even breaking a sweat- a brand new variable that Sullivan hadn’t predicted discovering."
- - -
When Joyce, Mike, and Will leave the MAC-Z after discovering Will's powers, they assume that the only enemy they have left to deal with is Vecna. However, they fail to notice that Lieutenant Jack Sullivan wasn't killed in the massacre- and that he saw Will using his newfound powers. Once Sullivan informs Dr. Kay, it doesn't take too long for the military to set their sights on a new target, one that has powers that they would love to get their hands on...

Summary
The first time Will felt that something was seriously wrong with him, he did what he thought was best, which is absolutely nothing. It was hands-down the worst decision he’d ever made, and considering how his life turned out, that was saying something.
If he’d just opened his mouth, said something—anything—it might’ve saved him from being possessed for the next year and a half.
Or
November 6, 1987. Will Byers disappears for seven days, he comes back alive but possessed. Mike takes his sweet time connecting the dots, but once he does, he’s definitely not okay with this information.
