Summary
WILL BYERS DIED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE FALL OF 1983...AND, AS FOR THE SECOND:
---
Will searched Mike’s face, tracing every flicker of emotion, desperate to understand what those words had meant. And what he found there…what he found was awful.Mike loved him, and Will wasn’t ready to die anymore.
---
Basically, Will dies, and Mike finally confesses. So, basically, everything that I don't want to happen in S5, but I wrote it because I'm silly.
Kind of a prequel to my other oneshot, with glaring continuity errors.Series

Summary
"A possession. That’s where it came from. The day a man ran to Jesus Christ with a son thrashing below him, tainted and consumed by the mark of the devil. And Jesus, in his ever-knowing wisdom, did not call upon his father to spare the child, but had instead uttered those words. To pray. To ask. To wait.
Mike was sick of waiting and had prayed far too much."
---
Will Byers is dead. Mike has some things to say at his funeral.
