Summary
"Chance bit the inside of his lip. Truthfully, part of him believed Jason’s Hellfire theory was a desperate story fueled by the grief of losing Chrissy, but the more Chance watched Hawkins fall apart, literally, the more he felt his old logic snap into place. Maybe Jason had been right, the town had a wound and something crawled out of it, something that hid in plain sight. Chance didn’t believe in revenge, the Bible says justice belonged to God or the law. But, if there really was an evil in this town, wouldn’t it be just as evil to do nothing about it? To let it happen?"
OR
After losing two of his friends in the Hawkins “earthquake,” Chance joins a church grief group that believes Will Byers is the vessel for Satan. To prove them wrong, Chance agrees to befriend Will, but the closer he gets, the more the lines between faith, fear, obsession and love start to blur.

Summary
"'You know you can talk to me, right? I mean I know our birthday is coming up, and it’s completely normal for you to be worried' El told him.
'Oh my god, El I promise I will tell you if something is seriously wrong, okay? I just would rather not talk about it' Will said while feeling his cheeks flush.
'Of course. I just- I want you to know that I’m always here for you' El said. Will really truly appreciated it, and he would tell her if something was happening. But that was the exact problem, nothing was happening he was still just Will, and no presentation meant he was a beta. The idea of talking about his disappointment was scary, and the idea of telling anyone, even his sister, how much he longed to be an omega seemed painful, like he was actually admitting that he was never meant to be an one, and that all of his instincts had been wrong."
------
Will Byers is turning 17 very soon, and for him that means he is a beta. He's made it this far without presenting, but still is holding out some hope that he will present as an omega. Being an omegas always made the most sense for him, and best of all if he were an omega he may have a chance with his best friend.

Summary
Will Byers is tired-out, burnt out, and put out. Things keep changing in his life and yet never in the way he quite wants them to. Previously content to fumble through life as an underpaid barista while he attempts to process the last ten years of mostly resolved trauma, a sudden move to a new flat with his chaotic sibling El and the arrival of a vibrant new friend in their tight-knit little group who seems to want to know absolutely everything about him might make him finally face what he never was able to; the idea of wanting more.

Every problem in this story could be solved if these homos just talked to each other!

Summary
Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.
Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.
The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.
A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.
The beast’s got him.

Summary
Mike pulled away, his eyes flitting across Will’s face—his tear-stained cheeks and red eyes—and he didn’t even have a moment’s hesitation before he said, “Then… we’ll go crazy together.”
Will’s mouth quirked even as his eyes welled with tears once again. “Yeah? Crazy together?”
Mike chuckled through the lump in his own throat. “Yeah. You’re not facing this alone, Will."
With Will’s name broadcasted in the Daily Prophet as the new generation’s very own Boy-Who-Lived, he faces new challenges in his Second Year of Hogwarts.
Another more imminent threat still lingers, even despite the Veil’s connection to the World of the Living closed, and Will must continue to tread very carefully like Professor Morganach originally forewarned.
But the question follows:
Will anyone notice the danger brewing on Will’s doorstep before it’s too late?

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
“Can I hug you?” he repeated, voice smaller now. He desperately hoped that Will would say yes.
He didn’t want to, but he held eye contact with Will for as long as it took Will to search his expression. For what, Mike didn’t know, but after a long moment, Will finally nodded. “Yeah, Mike, you can hug me.” And Mike didn’t hesitate to haul Will back to his feet so he could hug him properly, full-bodied and chest to chest.
“I’m so sorry, Will,” he murmured into Will’s hair. “I’m so sorry.”
--
In which Mike and El decide to end their relationship in favor of being friends, he punches Troy Walsh, and finally allows himself to feel what he feels for Will while they work on patching up their friendship so that maybe, someday, he can be brave enough to ask for more - not necessarily in that order. A bit of a prequel to the first fic in the series, though they can be read as standalones.

Summary
“She’s alive,” he mumbled to himself, barely noticing El cleaning the remaining blood from his face and sticking a bandage over the cut.
“Yes,” El agreed absently. “Lucas, I need your help.”
This is what finally caught Lucas’s attention, enough to fully draw him back to the present. El had never asked for his help before; he’d never imagined that she would ever need it. She quite literally had telekinetic superpowers, not to mention Mike’s unwavering support even after their breakup and Will’s steadfast presence as her adopted brother. What could Lucas possibly do?
“My…help?” he managed.
“I have an idea,” El said, stronger now, more firm. Something flickered in her eyes. Doubt, maybe, or perhaps fear. She continued anyway: “I think I know how to get her back, but I need you to help me.”
--
In the six months since Max fell victim to Vecna, Lucas notices changes in his friends' relationship, El piggybacks into Lucas's head and brings him into the mindscape with her to find Max, and they find her in the midst of her memories, safe from Vecna but unable to escape on her own.
