    Summary

    Will Byers is a name that no one in Hawkins Indiana seemed to know, and if they did they didn't care. He was simply a lower class boy who faded into the background that no one seemed to notice. However, his name became rather infamous when he mysteriously vanished on his way home one night, and later found dead within the local quarry. People spoke of him only in hushed voices. Children's eyes widened when they heard the story, realizing that death was not simply something that would happen to them when they reached old age. Adults covered their mouths and used it as a way to keep their kids from wandering at night alone.

    "You don't want to end up like Will Byers, do you?"

    No one seemed to mourn Will beyond a small handful of people. His three best friends D&D party was forever incomplete without him and his mother and brother were left in their family home to marinate in their grief, and even a young girl who had never met him seemed to grief him dearly, and more than anything seemed to blame herself.

    But perhaps what they do not know is that his fate is quite different, and perhaps even darker, than what they believe.

    Summary

    "To clarify, since last night,” she emphasized, “You've had seizures, been burned alive by proxy because you're still connected to the hive mind, unlocked latent psychic superpowers just like your step-sister–" She glanced back at him briefly, "Who you then found out isn't your step-sister, but your actual half-sister because you share a psychic superpowered father– who just so happens to be the serial killer that your sister banished to another dimension."
    Will made a sound that wasn't quite agreement and wasn't quite protest. She took it as confirmation and kept moving.
    "But–" She continued, stepping over a root, "Somehow, everyone knew about this before you–" She stepped over a root "– so Mike fucking Wheeler dropped the bombshell that you were really supposed to be another lab experiment like your sister, and you've been lied to your whole life."
    The footsteps behind her halted.
    Max turned to see Will looking utterly exhausted as he considered her words for a moment before he mustered a languid half-shrug.
    "I'm kind of having a rough day," He admitted with a weary sigh. She shot him a brief, disapproving look. He graciously accepted it with a wry tug at his lips.

    Summary

    It wasn't so bad.
    It was like Star Wars.
    Mike loved Star Wars.
    Except-
    Luke hadn’t just realized he was Force-sensitive less than a day prior.
    Leia hadn’t been raised by the Empire.
    And Han Solo definitely hadn’t been the idiot who accidentally told Luke and Leia their father was Darth Vader.

    OR

    Will and El are the last ones to learn of the devastating news uncovered in the files.
    And Will Byers gets the crash out he deserves.

    Don't worry, the tree he threw wasn't even a good one.
