    Summary

    Four years. It had been four years since Henry had saved him.

    Will Byers had spent the last of his teenage years living in the Creel residence, welcomed in by the ever so kind Henry Creel, his savior from that fateful night. Ever since, they had found peace in living together in the special home Henry had created for the two. Away from all the monsters, away from people, away from everything that could ever hurt Will.

    But once evidence of Will's past slowly resurface, he begins to question the differences between what Henry tells him and his ghastly visions. Little by little, Henry's perfectly curated reality falls apart, and Will stands conflicted at the cross lines, struggling between escaping from the nightmare or purposefully ignoring all the warning signs to continue living in the supposed perfect dream Henry had offered to him.

    In the midst of all of this, a certain boy remains cemented in Will's mind, refusing to be left behind as just another one of his missing memories. It's up to Will to decide if he chooses to seek them out, or let their past be lost forever.

    Aka, a Will Byers + Henry Creel/Wiseone centered fic with Mike, the DL, Wheeler haunting the narrative.

    Summary

    At the far edge of the cemetery, beneath a maple shedding red leaves like old blood, the earth above William Byers shifted.
    Six feet below, inside a coffin lined in white satin, Will Byers lay with his hands folded over his stomach.
    No worms.
    No rot.
    No sunken cheeks or ruined skin.
    The dress Joyce had chosen with shaking hands, the dress he had asked for before the end, covered him in layers of white. Long sleeves. A fitted bodice. A skirt that pooled around his legs like fog. Gothic and delicate, almost bridal, except no one had come to a church for him.
    Only a hole in the ground.
    Only rain.
    Only Mike Wheeler carrying him until his knees gave out.
    Will’s chest rose.
    The sound did not belong in a coffin.

    OR- what happens when Will Byers powers resurrect him on the anniversary of being killed by vecna? what happens when the first person he goes to after waking is Mike Wheeler?

    Summary

    "Foolishly, in the back of his mind, Will Byers had hoped that destroying the Upside Down would be the end of all his troubles.
    It was stupid, he knew. Years of trauma don’t just disappear if the source of it does. It takes time to get better, IF it's possible to get better at all.
    So, to put it plainly, Will was not okay.
    And he wasn’t sure if he was going to ever be okay again."

    OR

    After the events of Season 5, Will is left feeling unable to to just... go back to normal. And it seems like everyone else can.

    He could open up to people, but nooooo lets make ourselves feel worse, digging ourselves into a deeper hole, because we like to indulge in our sadness.

    Summary

    Hell is trying to change a past that's already written in blood.

    In every mistake, he digs a hole through his own skin and bones. That's the price he pays.

    --

    After waking up from a decisive encounter with Vecna, Will is left with the fate of everyone's lives resting on his hands.

    While Will is just a teenage boy who wishes he could be loved, he finds himself once again at the center of this senseless conflict. There are stains on people's bodies, ones that apparently only he can see. But what could they mean? What is Vecna really planning with this move?

    "I will make sure you will always remember the weight of your decision."

    --

    5 times Will Byers rejects Vecna, and 1 time he doesn't.

    Summary

    It had become familiar with every nook, every cranny of Will's body and mind, and it intended to stay—to keep him—forever. To become one.

    He wanted to tear himself apart; rip this thing out of him and run away with his Mike—

    But like every other time, he. just. couldn't. move.

    The love of his life was right there. Mike was right there, and Will was going to hurt him. Kill him. Slash or bash his face until he was unrecognizable. The Shadow would make him. He couldn't do a damn thing to stop it.

    or

    An Obsession AU in which Henry Creel becomes weirdly possessive over his employee Will Byers, resorting to unnatural, demonic measures to have him. Meanwhile, Mike doesn’t understand why Will is acting so strange.
