Summary
It's summer in Hawkins. It has been a year since the possession, and Will Byers is doing his best to navigate through change. While everyone else seems busy falling in love, he forces a smile, desperately trying to be normal. He tries to keep up with his friends, holding onto the childhood they seem eager to leave behind. He swallows his frustrations, hiding the fear that never really left. His walls crumbling, and as he desperately tries to keep them standing, the Mind Flayer returns.
But despite everything, a boy—confident, athletic, and surprisingly nerdy—suddenly comes into his life. Chance Lawson inadvertently becomes Will’s friend, joining the Party (?), changing the course of his fate. He carries an easy confidence, but beneath it lies a cautious, sympathetic heart that understands Will’s silence. He steps in with a gentle warmth that feels completely new, proving to Will that he doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on his own.
Then, maybe Will’s summer wouldn’t be as awful as it could’ve been.

Summary
"We are to dance in silence, then?" Willow asks, her tone playful as she tilts her head.
"Perhaps I could sing, if that would please My Lady instead," Michelle grins, and Willow rolls her eyes despite the flutter in her stomach. "Your hand, if I may?"
Or: A lesbyler regency au in which years worth of tension and quiet yearning is finally confronted when Michelle asks Willow to share a dance.

Summary
Perplexed, he starts to turn over onto his back before realizing another peculiar thing. There’s an arm slung over him. Wide eyed, he turns, in search of the owner of the mysterious arm. Only to find the biggest surprise of all. In his bed, eyes-closed, shirtless and arm wrapped around Will is Michael fucking Wheeler.
Will wakes up in an alternate version of his life, where Mike is his boyfriend. He's loving, kind, and affectionate, everything he's ever dreamed of. El wakes up in a world where she was never raised in a lab and has a 'normal' life. El and Will's lives are seemingly perfect, but they still remember their old lives while no one else does. Somehow, they find each other and work together to discover what's going on, uncovering secrets that could reveal their whole perfect world isn't exactly as it seems.

Summary
“Tell me you don't want this," Mike breathes. “Tell me you don't want me anymore.”
Will doesn't say anything, and Mike cups his cheek in one hand while the other rests against the wall slightly above his head as he leans in, lips brushing against Will’s ear.
“We can fight later. Don't let me sleep alone tonight."
It’s 1993. Will has left Hawkins behind him. He's built a decent life for himself in New York City, a life without Mike. He has an apartment along with amazing friends who take him to a concert for a new upcoming band without knowing the man front and center on stage is the very man he's been desperately trying to dig out of his brain for the last four years.
He listens to the meaningful lyrics, and he feels a rush of resentment hit him with the weight of a bus. He hates Mike for making him feel like he was just seeing things, like there was nothing there, but there always was.
Will can't keep telling himself he doesn't hold a grudge. His anger quickly overtakes his pain, and he takes it all out on Mike.
Can Mike get Will to forgive him? Can he convince him to go on tour with him, move into his apartment with him in LA, or will he fuck it all up?

Summary
The sight of him satisfies a deep greed in his gut— finally, a new and pretty trophy to add to his hoard. Perhaps he's not a pest, but a plaything. A toy. He takes the human into his clawed hand, small and limp in his grasp. He's warm against his cool scales, and it takes everything in him not to tear the robes off his little human. He looks so soft and pliant like this, gentle lashes pressed against even gentler cheeks.
But he knows to be patient. Knows how best to enjoy the feast before him.
With his human now clutched in his claws, he takes him deeper and deeper into the castle.
Or: An injured cleric unknowingly stumbles into the lair of one lonely, greedy dragon.
