    Summary

    "Six months," Viktor says. His voice is still a bit dry from his coughing. "Do you think we can change the world in six months?"

    Jayce’s mouth turns. "We can try," he says, his own voice breaking over the last word. "If they let us."

    Or

    Viktor has six months left to live, and Jayce does everything he can to save him.

    Summary

    Thus came the final question. It was arguably the easiest, though if anyone asked Will, it was the most anxiety-inducing of all.

    Where the hell were the Byers supposed to go?

    The answer, theoretically, was simple. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Joyce and El would take up residence at Hopper’s cabin. Due to the limited space, Jonathan was relegated to an air mattress in the living room. Of course, it was hardly ideal for a grown man like him, but he was hardly one to complain. Then, by all logic, Will should have wound up sharing the air mattress with him. But because things were never that easy, that wasn’t what ended up happening.

    Because the universe absolutely hates Will, he ends up staying at the Wheelers’.

    In the aftermath, Will finds the answer to his question.

    Summary

    “Why did you punch him?” Mike asked, his voice getting stronger, putting the last pad down on the edge of the bathroom sink. He turned back towards Will, still sitting on the edge of the tub. Their eyes met again. “You’ve never fought before.”

    And Will couldn't do anything but stay quiet and look away again (avoid, avoid, avoid–)

    Mike sighed, clearly getting frustrated. “Come on, Will, talk to me. What's going on with you?”

    He tried to catch his eyes, dipping in front of him to get into Will’s view, but he stubbornly kept his eyes away, down towards the ground. He didn’t really know why. He just– couldn’t. The cold of the bathtub seeped into his gripping hands.

    “It’s nothing,” he bit out through clenched teeth.

    “I don't believe that.”

    “I’m fine, I can manage.”

    “I don’t think breaking someone's nose is ‘managing it’, but okay.”

    Or: In a quiet, vulnerable moment in the Wheelers' basement bathroom, an unknown anger courses through Will's body.

    Ok with the stranger things hype coming back into play this is for some reason getting a bunch of attention so i feel the need to write this note. I wrote this story 2 or 3 years ago and it was last updated almost a year ago and has NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE. It is INCOMPLETE!! However, if you're seeing this note and it says it has been updated recently then that means I'm finally completing it because I do plan on eventually one day in the distant future doing so and I will not be uploading until I've written everything on google docs bc i know for a fact i WILL procrastinate.
