    Summary

    He should have died when the psychic energy collapsed between him, Eleven, and the hive-mind.

    Instead, the Veil tore open and cruel and restless energy pulled him back.

    Back to the 1950's.

    Back in a world unscarred, Will, armed with knowledge and powers forged from loss, promises to stop the problem before it's surfaced.

    Instead, he finds at the center of it all wasn't a monster. Not yet. He finds Henry Creel's pointed curiosity wrapped in ambition, and whose eyes are just so achingly lonely.

    The longer he stays, the more blurred his promise becomes

    Or, Will time travels and decides to use this opportunity to right old wrongs.

    Summary

    For the first time in years, Will finally felt that his life could hold promise.
    He had been accepted into a master's program in fine arts at a European university and was filled with optimism. That is, until he attended his first lecture of the semester. A ghost from the past seemed to have returned to haunt him.

    Summary

    Two years after the final battle in Hawkins, the war is over but nothing will ever be the same anymore.

    Mike Wheeler watched Will Byers disappear into the Upside Down, locked away alone with Vecna for eternity. The way Will looked at him in those final moments, his big scared trembling eyes, soft with love and sorrow, already accepting his fate. He stayed behind so Eleven could live, so Mike could live, so everyone could be saved. Joyce Byers couldn’t. Grief took her life, leaving Jonathan hollow and bitter, a ghost forced to keep breathing. Just like that, the Byers family was erased, and with them, the version of Hawkins that once felt like home.

    Mike refuses to heal. He refuses to move on. His mind unravels quietly, day by day, until he vanishes from everyone’s life, carrying the weight of a love he never got to acknowledge, refusing to bury. When Jonathan says something in grief and spite that will haunt Mike forever, Mike makes a choice; if Will is trapped in memory, then memory is where Mike will live.
