Summary
There’s a familiar tingle in his neck, a shiver down his spine.
Demon.
“You keep ruining everything,” a low voice grumbles.
The demon chuckles, coldly. “Haven’t sensed me yet, human?”
Eddie hears the sound of the clock ticking. It never chimes.
“Then how do you keep getting in my way?” He feels the voice rattle in his skull.
“You’re looking for a host,” Eddie realizes.

Or a self-indulgent modern AU where Eddie is essentially a spirit medium, the Party is Hawkins' own Scooby Doo gang, and they find themselves solving ghost crimes and fighting demons. Tags will be added as I go!

Summary
“Do you want to go on a date?” The words were out before Will’s mind caught up with his mouth, his hand over Dustin’s as if on instinct, an act of betrayal from his body, like the Mind Flayer was possessing him all over again except he knew it was gone—this was all him.
Dustin’s head whipped up, eyes so wide, Will could see the white all the way around his pupils. “Wh-what…?”
Will tore his hand away like it had been burned. He didn’t miss the way Dustin set his own hand over the one Will had held.
***
Will is sick and tired of third wheeling, and when Dustin comes home from summer camp and Will realises he might have a chance with him, he figures what the hell? In the end, it turns out the hardest part of dating Dustin is keeping it hidden from their friends and families.

Summary
Will was laughing, seemingly at the fact that he had just been insulted by El and Max back to back. His hair was ruffled up, his eyelids were heavy, and his shirt was slid up slightly from shifting around in his sleep, though he pretended not to notice.
“Oh, you’re awake.” he spoke, his frown morphing into something slightly more pleasant. “How was your nap?” He asked.
Will shrugged. “Fine, I guess.” He paused for a minute, “Probably would’ve been a bit better if it wasn’t a million degrees in here, though.”
Mike’s face lit up, convinced that he had finally had some sort of victory, “See! I told you guys it was too hot in here.” He grumbled once again.
Will held back a laugh, trying to save a sliver of Mike’s dignity while he still had it. “The only difference is I didn’t whine about it the whole time.” He added, going in for the final kill.
OR
Mike and Will are forced to share a bed together during the group’s first ever summer vacation together, and Mike soon realizes that his feelings he’s been trying to push away can’t be ignored forever.
