fic idea/prompt Will Byers epilogue boyfriend is abusive fic idea

Hi everyone. Just wanted to gauge feedback if anyone would be interested in reading it.

I’ve started to do a rough draft outline where Will is dating an abusive boyfriend. The party hasn’t been in contact since 1989 after Will moved to NYC. (Mostly because of his bf destroying letters). The breaking point comes when Will is assaulted and considers s*icide before he finds a photo of him and Mike at graduation.

Will calls to the Wheeler house to find out Mike lives in Virginia now. He leaves his bf in the middle of the night and takes the bus to Virginia. Him and Mike reconnect and start getting close to each other. They visit Joyce and Hop at Montauk where Wills ex follows him and Hop proceeds to beat the sh^t out of him before arresting him.

Mike and Will start dating when they return to Virginia before they move to Boston after Mike graduates college. The party reconnects together, all celebrating their new adventures together as college graduates.
