    Summary

    “Will an I are dating!” Dustin blurted.

    Jane froze and looked back and forth between Dustin and Will. A spark lit up. “Oh my gosh! I am so happy for you!” She squeaked and jumped up to pull Will into a tight hug.

    You.. and him?” Mike scowled. “You.. and Will? Really?” He scoffed. “Right. Will hasn't told us because?” He narrowed his eyes. “Will looks mortified because?”

    Dustin looked around nervously. His eyes met Will’s. “Because.. We weren't ready to tell anyone yet.” He looked back at Mike, then switched gears to stare obviously at Will. He grew slightly more confident. “Baby, I’m sorry. I mean it.” He murmured. Dustin's hand, which Will realized he never really let go of, squeezed his own.

    Baby?” Mike squawked.

    Will and Dustin fake date. That's it. That's the fic.

    Summary

    “That’s not true—“

    “Then say it. Say it, Will!”

    Will hesitates. “Say what?”

    A beat. Then—

    “Tell me that I’m wrong. Tell—”

    He gulps. Will’s eyes dilate in shock.

    “Tell me what’s going on with you, Will. For fuck’s sake, just talk to me!” Mike exclaims.

    A stray sunbeam crawls up Mike’s cheek. At first, Will believes it to be another hallucination: that odd glassy sheen around his best friend’s waterline.

    But when he concentrates, he notes that it isn’t a trick of the light at all. Rather, wetness brims in Mike’s eyelids, staining his eyes red.

    Oh. Oh no.

     

    OR

     

    It's January, and Will Byers doesn't know how to act around his best friend anymore. But he has to hold strong. He has to keep his feelings to himself. If he doesn't, he'll lose everything.

    Set after season 4 and before season 5. Loosely inspired by "you took my heart (I was sleeping)" by lameparties.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington had told him that he would be staying with him during his recovery rather than with his uncle Wayne. Steve had explained the doctors had told him that Eddie would need constant supervision and with Wayne having to pull extra shifts at the plant and their current temporary housing, the two had decided it would be best if Eddie recovered at castle Harrington.

    Or

    Eddie Tries (and fails) not to fall more in love with Steve Harrington while staying with him after the demo bats.

    Summary

    What would happen if Will Byers was never found during the events of Stranger Things season 1? How would he survive the upside down? How would the people of Hawkins react?

    Will breathed in a ragged breath. Black smoke poured from his mouth as he tore himself free from the wall. He collapsed forward, coughing and gasping on the cold, moist floor.
    His heart pounded in his ears as he shakily scrambled to his feet. Eyes darting around the abyss, he started to run. And he ran, and ran, and ran.
    His feet pounded on the ground when suddenly he found himself on a familiar path. Finally, something familiar. Will sprinted through the woods, as a feeling of hope filtered its way through the panic. He was getting there, he was gonna be safe, it was finally within reach.
    Castle Byers.
    The pain in his chest and legs screamed at him to rest, but he couldn't risk stopping. He pushed himself further, calves aching with each step. Suddenly, a loud screech echoed through the air from somewhere up ahead.
    Will skidded to a stop as the monster moved on the path ahead. It was in the way, standing between him and safety.

    Summary

    They had no way of getting goat milk to the remote hide out, importing it would surely give away their location.

    Robotnik came up with a solution that won’t have any ramifications
