    Summary

    "Edwin?" A tentative hand was placed on his shoulder, startling him. Charles retracted his hand in a flash. Edwin had half a mind to chase the gentle touch of his best friend, but the other half seemed too keen on being foolishly preoccupied with all things Hell.

    He was exhausted. Incredibly, tremendously, excruciatingly tired. He should've allowed Charles to drag him away from the memories. It would've been preferable to making him witness Edwin in this state — unfocused, unstable, utterly unreliable. He was out of his depth just from looking for an item.

    And quite frankly, feeling like a helpless toddler was the last thing Edwin needed at the moment.

    After five years of Will's disappearance, everyone tries to return to what they call 'normal'. Mike Wheeler seems to be the only one forever stuck in a loop of grief and guilt, physically incapable of moving on. The world around him sinks, the whole town and people around him seem to push Mike to the edge.

    On the fifth anniversary, the Party uncovers a trace of Will — or what appears to be him. From that moment on, Mike’s life veers violently off course.

    Suddenly, everything starts to fall into place.

     

    Or: Will Byers snaps. He worships the Upside Down.
    Mike Wheeler figures himself out. He worships Will Byers.

    Summary

    His mind would even wander into the scenario of murder. 

     

    The thought made him bite his lip, before remembering he had a project to do. He wiped his face with his hands, and turned back to his project partner. 

     

    Some of the party has witnessed this too, but chose not to question it. Not even Will himself. He'd noticed Mike was a little more touchy than usual, defensive when the group teases Will, even had a soft, relaxed voice when it came to talking with Will that he wouldn't use with anyone else. Will thought that maybe, he's just making sure that he's okay after the events of him going missing and being possessed. 

     

    But he doesn’t think that was the reason why Mike was staring at him while kissing El at a school dance.

    Or: Mike Wheeler as Ghostface.

    Summary

    "I have Ms. Kelly today," Max says, almost bitterly. "You'll be okay at lunch without me?" she says it sarcastically, like a joke, but there's an undercurrent of something else in her voice; for a moment, she almost sounds scared.

    Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"

    Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."

    ~~

    or: a shared tragedy brings max and will together for their first year of high school in hawkins. they stay together, even as their demons rise again. a s4 rewrite, in which joyce is the one who dies at the end of s3 and thus the byers + el never move.
