DESCRIPTION:
"i honestly thought i'd be dead by now."
EXTENDED SUMMARY:
Peter Phillipsthought he was normal. He thought he could go through school without being noticed by anyone, but when Will Byers goes missing, his life changes.
It was supposed to be a normal night. Peter was settling down for the night, but as soon as he closed his eyes, it was almost as if he was transported to another world just like his own, but much darker. He thought it was just another bad dream of his, but as the dream continued, he heard screams belonging to Will Byers. He woke up immediately, gasping for air and sitting in a pile of his own sweat, but he didn't worry since it was just another stupid nightmare or so he thought.
The next day, Will Byers was reported missing, and Peter had an eery feeling he knew exactly what happened to the missing boy. If only he had known, he had more to do with the mystery than he thought.
NOTES:
━ please change the summary for my dumbass, i just wanted to publish this because i love it sm.
━ excuse me as i love peter with my entire heart. i actually want to write this but we all know i would never. please treat this one right, i love it so much.
━ this plot is based off the song "bury a friend" by billie eilish and it's inspired by the lyrics "when we all fall asleep, where do we go?" basically, when peter goes to sleep, his mind goes to the upside down, but instead of it being a dream, whatever happens to him in there, will affect him in real life. so if he dies in the upside down, he's dead for real.
━ peter is connected to the upside down because when he was born, his mom was forced to give him to hawkins lab where he would be tested on and one of his powers is a kind of astral projection. you can decide his other powers if you decide to give him anymore.
━ the reason why he is still not in hawkins lab, is because someone on the inside felt awful about the experiments, so they got him out of there and gave him to a relative of theirs who lives in hawkins. those relatives will be his adoptive family. the person who got him out, however, will die because they are caught and they refuse to give up the location of the boy, so they kill them.
━ peter doesn't know he's adopted and he doesn't know that he used to be a test experiment, so when he has these dreams, he's like "wtf".
━ he does often have memories of hawkins lab and the experiments, but he thinks they're just dreams.
━ he has the number 010 or 009 on his wrist, but he thinks it's a birthmark since that's what his family has always told him.
━ when will goes missing, peter sees him in the upside down when he goes to sleep and at first he's scared because he has no idea how to react and he doesn't want to seem crazy, but eventually he goes to the party to tell them. he thinks they won't believe him, but by this time, they've met eleven, so they let him into the party and they all try to find will together.
━ peter constantly wonders why they care about him and he thinks they only want to be his friend so they can find will. he's obviously just a little insecure because the party considers him their actual friend.
━ peter is inspired by peter parker the loml, so do him justice. he's awkward, goofy, adorable, and just a ball of sunshine who carries the weight of the world on his back.
━ throughout the story, he starts to uncover his background which (if you decide to carry this into season 2 and 3) will lead him to want to find his real parents. it's your decision if they're dead or not.
━ for the end of season 1, since he's connected to the upside down, he can die i guess, but if you decide to kill him off, you better make my baby the fucking hero because that's who he is. he saves everyone's ass, bitches.
━ he doesn't need a love interest because he's amazing by himself, but i ship him with everyone tbh, mostly eleven and mike thou. and max if you continue into other seasons.
━ either way, he and eleven are badass lab experiments and they deserve to be protected.
━ treat my awkward lil lab experiment right you hoes or i'll skin you.
