And Will thought the summer was going to be boring.
(Meanwhile Mike would really like these interlopers from the future to stop hanging around his best friend, thank you very much.)

Summary
She didn’t want to ask. She absolutely, positively, unequivocally did not want to ask.
Dammit, she had to ask.
“Are you Will Byers?” She said weakly.
“...Yeah?” He looked at her warily. “Why?”
Fuck fuck fuck FUCK.
“No reason,” she said, lying to her father for the first time in her life. “I just—heard your name around, is all.”
OR;
Will and Mike's daughter from the future lands in 1986 and does her best not to wreck the timeline.
If only she weren't such a terrible liar.
3/3/26 UPDATE: REWRITE IS NOW UP.

Summary
Four years after Will Byers' death, and more than a year into Hawkins' quarantine, the Party encounters a new entity in the Upside Down, hellbent on keeping them out and protecting his master, Vecna. Dubbed Kas the Bloody-handed by the Party, he takes a special interest in Mike of all people, invading his dreams nearly every night for his own twisted amusement-at least, that's what he'd have Mike believe.
And the more Mike gets to know Kas, and about the darkness in his past, the more he starts to question whether the lines between friend, lover, and enemy are as clear cut as he thought they were.

Summary
Single mother Rayla is struggling to provide for herself and her three children in the sleepy village of Elk Cove, known for being one of the few elf-human settlements in Xadia. When she is hired to do repair work for a group of human travelers who cheat her out of her hard-earned money, a unique opportunity for revenge presents itself. It doesn't take long, however, for her chance at payback to become a chance at love.
(Or; when Callum is stranded in Elk Cove with amnesia, circumstances force a reluctant Rayla to pretend he is her husband. Domesticity ensues.)

Summary
A collection of Stranger Things fankid fics. Some may be standalone, others may share continuity, but all will [hopefully] feature better writing than what the duffers are apparently capable of.
Have fun!

Summary
It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.
OR:
Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.

Summary
“No. No, Mike, can you hear me?” He nods, ever so slightly. It’s enough for Will. If he’s dying— if these are truly the last words that will ever be spoken between them— there’s only one thing he can say. “I love you. I’m in love with you, Mike, please. You can’t go. I love you so much,” Will whispers, cradling his body to his chest.
—
Will confesses his feelings as Mike takes his last breaths— and then Mike decides to be a stubborn asshole about it and survives. Will is left to deal with the aftermath of his choice, navigating an awkward new friendship.
