    Summary

    Will Byers has always been the one who waits.

    He waits to be rescued
    He waits to be chosen.
    He waits to be seen.

    When Henry Creel offers him something different power, certainty, a place at the center instead of the edges Will finds himself standing in a room of blinding light with a choice he never thought he’d make.
    Because being invisible hurts.
    And this time, he’s tired of waiting.

    Summary

    “Especially since you’re at camp this summer,” Dustin is saying, oblivious to Will and the way his stomach is churning in his gut, “and he’s about to– wait. Is he going to school here?”
    Will flinches like Dustin hit him. “Uh, no,” he says quickly, setting his phone down and twisting his hands together. “South Carolina.”
    Dustin flinches like Will hit him. “Ouch.”

    Exactly two weeks after his boyfriend left for his graduation trip and roughly six months after Will successfully got a guy to ask him out, a reunion date at camp is the only thing he's been looking forward to all day. The unresolved issue of long distance that's still hanging over his relationship and the fact that he still can't be in a room with Mike Wheeler without feeling awkward about it really puts a damper on things.

    Summary

    LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
    1971 - 1995

    This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!

    PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
