It's been eighteen months since the events of Season 4 and Will wishes more than anything that things could return to normal even though he knows they won't. Vecna is lurking and for the last year, he's been preying on Will's fears and feelings for Mike which he's been struggling to navigate. While the crew teams up again to defeat their newest threat, Will and Mike figure out their feelings for eachother and when they start, everything they've ever known starts to unravel. Season 5 Rewrite (originally published on Ao3) Sort of canon-compliant, byler-centric or basically how I wish season 5 would've gone Chapters are pretty long as they span over a full episode or at least half of one so buckle up haha
