Summary
Post-Season 3, does not include Season 4 canon
In the aftermath of Starcourt, lives are fragmented. El is learning what it's like to be a normal human, Will is struggling to conceal an identity on the verge of unfortunate discovery (even from himself), Mike is floating in a world of change, Dustin is struggling to balance friendships and new opportunities, Lucas is blending into a town that never wanted him in the first place, and Max is unsuccessfully healing the hole in her heart as her family crumbles.
High school is the first beast other than a literal one that the entire Party will take on together. It is where their personalities will come to the surface, where their interests will no longer bond together but break them apart, and where their identities will morph into their new monsters. Can they learn to balance them, or will they let the weight of new experiences outweigh the old, worn memories of the past?

Summary
Have I ever told anyone Will is so ethereal and the most amazing person I’ve ever met? No, it's not something that usually comes up between best friends. Let alone some you’ve been friends with since kindergarten. I often think about stupid shit like his beautiful smile.maybe holding hands. From a young age till about second grade or so, holding hands, hugging and maybe friendly kisses on the cheek were normal to them. At least it was.

Summary
Hawkins, Indiana wasn't a place where bad things happened. It was a quaint little town where everyone knew everyone; where secrets were an oddity, and the probability of them staying secret even rarer.
That's not to say there aren't the few exceptions. One of which being the giant, undercover, government operation experimenting on kids, and opening portals to other dimensions; the absurdity of the situation playing to its advantage.
The whole spiel would have stayed a secret too, had the program not let lose a monster from another world that took Halley Byer's younger brother. But, since it had, Halley would do anything to get him back. Even if she had to tear the whole things to shreds. Piece, by goddamn piece.
Season 1: complete
Season 2: complete

Summary
Oh god. He vaguely thinks. A rational part of his brain vaguely thinks. However, Will had quickly strayed away from the precious light of sanity and Jesus just as he had strayed away from the possibility to ever become normal after setting a foot in the Upside Down. However, Will allows himself to have hope. He had seen an A.A poster the other day, after all, which if it wasn’t the universe giving him signs. Maybe if there’s a I-don’t-think-I’ve-ever-been-attracted-to-a-girl, maybe-I'm-in-love-with-my-best-friend anonymous, well, he would be delighted-
(Or: Will Byers goes through the incomprehensible horrors)

Summary
Mike hates churches.
It definitely doesn’t have anything to do with the fact he’s been forced to go to mass since he was old enough to understand what was going on, which resulted in growing a natural distaste for it. It also doesn’t have anything to do with the fact Mike doesn’t really believe in all that stuff. It absolutely does not have anything to do with the fact he’s been a sinner for as long as he can remember, because he’s in love with a boy, his best friend no less.
So, when Mike and Will were sent on a mission alone to go investigate the church where Mike had spent countless Sunday mornings, brooding and cursing whatever higher power would hear him, he wasn't exactly elated.
or: my take on churchgate and the aftermath of it, with lettergate somehow involved too

Summary
Will never went out of his way to acknowledge the way he felt about his family and friends through the past few years so why suddenly is this strange person hed never met before challenging those feelings he worked so hard to push down?
(Guys the summary will be changed I’m just fighting for my life to find out what I wanted to write)

Summary
”Are you okay?” Mike concerns.
”Yeah, just a lot of thoughts. Do I look not okay?” I am definitely not okay, but I don’t want him to see that because knowing Mike, he’ll ask me what’s wrong until I budge.
”Not that you look bad! You just look…. troubled? Like something’s bothering you.” Mike rants as he finds the right words.
”Yeah, I’m okay.” I lie. I hate lying to him, but he would hate me if he knew the reason why.
”You sure?” He hesitates, as if he’s giving me a chance to come clean.
”Of course.” I force a small smile, that ends up looking like more of a distressed look than a smile.
”You sure?” He hesitates, as if he’s giving me a chance to come clean.
Will and Mike have a sleepover, and Will’s emotional dam finally breaks.

Summary
“Find that inner strength now, use that well of pride!” He motivated his men. “Fight through every pain now, ask yourself inside: What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?” He motivated his soldiers.
The men repeated his words. “What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?”
“Irenaeus, Irenaeus…and Eulalia…I fight for us, I fight for us!” He dragged out, yearning for the wife and child he left ten years ago.
What do you try for? “Irenaeus…”
What do you wish for? “Eulalia…”
What do you fight for? “Attack!”

Summary
"I love you"
Well that just wasn't fair Will thought distantly. His ears felt full of wool words blurring into a static fuzz. His eyes were rapidly watering masked barely by the battering rain. He was looking at Mike but it couldn't have been him who said those words.

This fic is basically my interpretation of how the Byler love confession would go. Have fun! :)
