Summary
Mike's grip on Will's throat loosens and he can’t help the way he gasps, gulping down air as his fingers curl in Mike’s stupid Falling in Reverse tee. He can feel him panting against his neck, his nose bumping against the tender bite mark there.
“Get that out of your system?” Mike huffs, nosing his way up Will’s neck. “Gonna be on your best behaviour on this tour, right?”
Will lets his eyes flutter shut despite himself, his stomach twisting at Mike’s words.
“No promises.”
Or; now that school's out for summer, the Demodogs set out on a dive bar tour. On the road, Mike and Will's relationship becomes (more) complicated.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”
Or, a
fix-it ficmodern-gothic take on Will Byers' story in Season 5 .Series

Summary
"Do you seriously just let him control you like that all the time? You're not his fucking dog, dude."
Max calls it control.
Will calls it trust.Because it's not just that Mike takes care of him.
It's that Will starts to lean into it, he craves it.And when he realizes Mike needs it just as much, needs to be praised, to be relied on, to be everything... Will decides to stop resisting.
After all, if Mike wants to take care of him...
who is Will to say no?OR
After nearly a year of living together, Mike and Will somehow stumble into a full-blown dom/sub dynamic before they so much as kiss or admit they're in love.

Summary
"Foolishly, in the back of his mind, Will Byers had hoped that destroying the Upside Down would be the end of all his troubles.
It was stupid, he knew. Years of trauma don’t just disappear if the source of it does. It takes time to get better, IF it's possible to get better at all.
So, to put it plainly, Will was not okay.
And he wasn’t sure if he was going to ever be okay again."OR
After the events of Season 5, Will is left feeling unable to to just... go back to normal. And it seems like everyone else can.
He could open up to people, but nooooo lets make ourselves feel worse, digging ourselves into a deeper hole, because we like to indulge in our sadness.
