    Summary

    The most surprising thing about Will is not that he’s seemingly shot up something like a foot in six months, or that he’s developed shoulders, or that he even fucking smokes now—it’s this. Four of them dancing over a looming ledge, and Will being the first to jump.

    Summary

    The problem with being friends with someone for such a long time, approximately eight billion years, and going through the apocalypse with them to boot, is that you may start to develop a tiny, itty-bitty, eensy-weensy little crush on them. And that wouldn’t even be too bad, no, Lucas could live with that.

    The problem is that Lucas had to go and do it two more times.

    Summary

    Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”

    Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”

    Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.

    “The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”

    OR: A Will Byers-centric speculation of ST5! Based on trailers, BTS footage, and some scenes from The First Shadow.

    Summary

    Maybe this isn’t the awful thing it feels like. Perhaps whatever lingers in his blood that overrides his control is something intended to help, to make him better.

    The thought doesn’t alleviate any of the terror that still swirls behind his ribcage, threatens to spill over and sink its icy teeth into his bones — but it’s something he clings to, nonetheless. He’ll figure it out, and stop it, and in the meantime it could be a good thing. He hasn’t figured out how to apologise, yet — but the logical first step would be to keep them happy, make sure he stays in their good graces and doesn’t do anything to further aggravate them.

    He doesn’t like the idea, but if this — thing, this compulsion helps to make him more palatable, more tolerable and easier to be around, perhaps he’ll be allowed to stay long enough to make it up to them. He might be able to turn it into a good thing before he finds out how to end it, before it wears off. He’ll just wait it out.

    J. Daniel Atlas ends up cursed, he thinks. It takes a while for the others to notice. In the meantime, he tries to stay sane. It's surprisingly difficult when your mind isn't your own, anymore.
