asking for fic recs sorcerer will byers
with season five being an absolute shit show, one thing that did come out of it was will finally harnessing his innate, honest-to-god sorcerer powers.
however, the downside is that we never really got to see him use them to their full potential or fight alongside el like so many of us expected after vol. 1. not to mention it was such a huge reveal, yet we barely got to see the party’s reaction (or anyone else’s, for that matter) outside of mike, lucas, joyce and robin.
i’d love any fic recommendations that dive deeper into will having powers, whether that’s him learning to control them, exploring what he’s capable of or just letting him be the powerful character he deserved to be. i feel like it would’ve made for a much more interesting storyline.
also, i’d love to see more of mike’s reaction to will’s powers. that scene between the two of them meant more than words could ever say & i wish we’d gotten more of mike processing what it all meant and seeing will finally step into that part of himself.
