Summary
Will forced himself to stop thinking. The Upside Down was closed for good. Eleven had close the gate last year and saved them all. His mother, Jonathan and Nancy had taken the Mind Flayer out of him. There was nothing more connecting him to that place. He was clean. Purged. And those stupid chills he got from time to time in the back of his neck were just his brain messing up with him. It was him not being able to move on from what happened in the past. It was him not being able to grow the fuck up already.
Dustin clapped his hands, the sound echoing in the calm night, making Will snapped out of his thoughts. “We can become heroes, Will. Honest to God American heroes. Like freaking Red dawn or something.”
Season 3 rewrite in which Will listens to the Russian transmission with Dustin. Inspired by American Heroes by catchip2

Summary
Mike was pulled from his slight trance when he felt El wasn’t kissing back. He freaked out a little, maybe she was still asleep and wasn’t even able to register what was going on. He got more agitated when he heard a groan, indicating that maybe she hadn’t even noticed he was there and had been talking in her sleep. His stomach clenched, worried that he’d stepped over the line—
Wait. That… that groan was deep. Like, low-pitched deep.
His voice trembled, anxious for whoever would answer, deeply hoping he hadn’t made a terrible mistake. “...El?”
“El” stirred, pulling the covers off of her and sitting up in bed groggily, but more consciously than before. Mike’s heart was beating fast in his chest, fidgeting with the M&M’s still crumpled up in his pocket as he tried to figure out the shape of whoever he had kissed (probably while asleep! Jesus Christ). His eyes strained once again, hoping to make sense of the shadow in front of him…
--
Will stays over at El's. Mike is not aware of this.

Another Season 2 Rewrite?! Le Gasp
I got the idea of this fic while writing my other fic and the voices said "Do it my child. Write."
So here we go!
Basic Synopsis: Instead of being captured, Varian escapes before they find him after the battle of Old Corona. Still mad with anger, Varian strikes off alone on the quest to the Dark Kingdom. If only he could rid himself of the Princess who keeps desperately trying to make things right.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Your majesty!” She heard a guard call out. Curious, she turned around to see the issue. A group of royal guards were positioned around the large mech that Varian was piloting. It was at this moment that she realized hadn’t seen the thing move once, hadn’t heard anything from the boy. One of the guards cautiously poked the head of the automaton with his spear, the pod’s lid popping open with a hiss. As the steam poured out from the cockpit, one thing became ominously clear.
“The Alchemist is gone.”

Summary
His other eye held a sense of familiarity to Mike. The color a soft green. He looked at his nose, at his mouth, at the mole over it.
Wait.
...What?
He looked back up into his eyes. The same eyes he had looked into on their last day together.
His stomach dropped. He was going to be sick.
He traced his face yet again as his mind simultaneously remembered every picture of Will.
Pictures Mike had been studying meticulously ever since he died.
That’s right, Will died.
Will is dead.
He's supposed to be dead.
He kept repeating the sentiment in his head, but it didn't matter. All the details matched. Sure, his features had become older, but it was still him. It was still-
"...Will?" Mike whispered, terrified the sound of his voice would somehow make him disappear, make this not real. Instead, it appeared as if Mike speaking awoke something in Will as Will’s emotionless eyes suddenly shot up along with the shotgun flying back up into his hands, shooting right past Mikes head, straight through the tree he was still leaned against.

Summary
A phantom pressure crawls up his throat. For a split second he swears he can feel it again; the snake-like vine forcing its way down his windpipe, cold and invasive; the wisps of decay-filled air he manages between the ceaseless choking; the taste of dirt and blood and something electric yet all-consumingly dark and evil flooding his senses—
OR
A comprehensive (though byler-centred) rewrite of Season 5, starting from Will waking up from a dream where he relives/remembers what we see in those first five minutes.

Summary
Will is going to die.
Not how he thought he would. Not in a mess of vines and slime at the end of the world or the razor sharp claws of a Demogorgon.
It'll be his own fault. It'll be punishment for something he tried to bury inside himself. They know what he is and they're doing it in the name of a god that hadn't been there for Will no matter how loud he cried.
Or
Hawkins has been plagued with deaths, disappearances and despair. It's more than a few that have noticed it all changed the night of November 6th 1983. William Byers has been claimed by the devil and will answer to God, one way or another.

Summary
On the day Will Byers should board a plane to New York, Vecna pulls him backward through time. His eighteen-year-old consciousness wakes in his twelve-year-old body, one week before the Demogorgon takes him into the Upside Down. Meanwhile, twelve-year-old Will finds himself trapped in 1989, disoriented and alone at an airport, calling the one person who still answers: Mike Wheeler.
Two versions of Will exist across six years of distance. One carries memories of everything they survived: monsters, sacrifices, El's death, and words left unspoken between him and Mike. The other knows nothing of the horrors ahead or why his best friend sounds so heartbroken on the phone.
Armed with the knowledge of every tragedy to come, older Will faces an impossible choice. He could save them all, and rewrite everything. The clock ticks toward November 6th, and Will must decide what matters more: the lives he could save or the truth he never had the courage to speak.

Summary
An aspiring paladin and a prince with powerful magic meet in a clearing in the woods as the years pass. No matter what may come their way, they promise to always find each other in that same clearing.
"Suddenly a twig snapped from the trees surrounding the clearing. The light faded from the prince’s hand and he searched for the source of the noise. The fawn was quick to get up and bound away.
Footsteps grew closer until a boy that looked to be around his age creeped out into the clearing. He was dressed in plain leather clothing and had cropped black curls that framed his sharp face and large, dark eyes. He appeared to have been crying, the tear tracks down his cheeks were apparent, but now he just stared at William in awe."

Summary
Will Byers just wanted his best friend back. But as Mike gets lost in promises and laughter with others, Will feels the summer slipping through his fingers too hot, too bright, as if the world has moved on without him. He tries to pretend he’s still just a kid, still in control. But something is stirring under his skin, whispering in the corners of his mind.
The monster is coming back. And Will starts to wonder if the Upside Down ever truly let him go. And if he really wants it to. -

Summary
Will was going to throw himself down this stupid hill and roll all the way home if he had to hear Dustin repeat the name ‘Suzie’ one more time.
It was hot out today, too hot. Far too humid for Will’s liking, it was the kind of humidity that made you want to crawl out of your skin just to escape the feeling of your own melting skin. Will’s clothes felt all moist and stuck uncomfortably onto his skin, his hair clung to his forehead and the back of his neck. He hated it when things felt stuck to his neck, and he hated sweating. He also couldn’t stand the cold(he likes it cold), but he can't stand it when it’s too hot. It makes him feel like he’s burning, burning and helpless.
Or
What if Will knew about some of the things going on with Dustin? What if Will gets closer to the girls of the group?
What if they hadn't gotten all the particles of the mind flayer out of Will back in season 2? What if the evil inside of Will's body wants out, but wants to keep it's host(parent?).
There's a lot of what If's.

William Byers is the key.
Hawkins isn’t prepared for what he will be forced to unlock.
________
Oh William, I knew you’d return.
Will is in a dark space. He’s not sure what direction the voice is coming from, but Will can tell the voice is getting louder.
You could never escape me.
Will instinctively covers his ears. Despite the taunts, Will wishes he could run.
You can never escape what you are.
Will feels a sharp tug in his forehead, and then his sight turns red.
