Summary
Theo turned away from the empty side of the bed, facing the wall. The cold chill from behind him instead of what would normally be a warm embrace was almost enough to bring him to tears. Almost. Maybe.
Or
Theo lays awake at night thinking about Boris after going to New York without him

i could be your lover (and you could be my heartache) by sunsetozier

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Tell Me About the Dream (Where We Pull the Bodies Out of the Lake and Dress Them in Warm Clothes Again) (On hiatus) by Ezra_at_your_service

Summary
The truck jostles slightly, a constant back and forth as its inhabitants prepare themselves for a venture into the Upside Down, one last time. One last fight to end it all. One last time risking their lives for the fate of the world. If every time before this hadn’t been their “final fight,” maybe they wouldn’t have felt as grim as they plunged further into hell.
Vecna’s voice was like nails on a chalkboard. Unheard by all but one, the monster’s face was twisted into something that someone might have called a smile when he was still human. Now, though, it was more like watching a rabid dog bear its teeth. He ran a hand over Will Byers’s hair as he spoke.
“Do you think you’re worthy of him?” Vecna’s long, clawed fingers slid gently over Will’s face, but Will wasn’t frightened. He continued speaking idly with his mother, a small smile on his face. “Doesn’t he deserve better?” On the other side of the truck a pair of brown eyes had slid out of focus, body rigid, unwilling to move despite its owner’s protests. Terror seized them as they watched Vecna taunt them, gnarled hands placed gently onto Will’s shoulders.

Summary
“You think I couldn’t figure it out? As soon as you mentioned your crush, I knew. God, it all made sense then.” He took a step closer to Will. Another, and another, until their faces are only inches apart. “Why you always clung to me, why you treated me differently compared to the rest of the party, why you let me see and keep your drawings. Only me.”
Will can’t help but smile, in relief and in fondness, all his anger dissipating. Now it all feels obvious, when Mike says it aloud. He’s always cared for him in a special way, a way that reflects into his life, even after so many years. Even after their fallouts.
“It’s funny now that I mention it, especially since I’d rather die than ever be with you.”
His smile fades, and Mike truly does look like a monster. The angles of his face fall symmetrically, so similar to Henry.
Henry.
Oh.
Or; A finale rewrite with Byler, the Party, and a little bit of fantasy.

Summary
Mike clears his throat loudly, dragging Will’s attention back from his thoughts. He snaps his eyes up to him, observing the look on his face which lies somewhere between a ‘I’m ready for a gate to the Upside Down to open and swallow me right now.’ and ‘I’m deeply sorry for what I’m about to do next.’
Oh no.
He’s about to do something really stupid.
Or, Mike kisses Will in front of the Party. Naturally, he has to kiss everyone else.
