    Summary

    Mike and Will wake up in their own beds a day after their D&D game with the party.
    As Mike gets up and is going to the basement he hears a crack. Mike runs towards the basement, did some shelf broke? Is Holly there? Did she fall?
    Mike storms into the basement and sees... Will?
    "Will? Why are you in your cleric costume?" Mike asks, still rubbing his eyes.
    "Micheal!" Will stumbles towards Mike "Where are they? Did we lose them?"
    Micheal? But Will never calls Mike by his legal name...
    Will's hands wrap around Mike and he pulls Mike closer. Since when was Will like this?
    "I was so worried, I thought I lost you." Will says as he pulls Mike in and kisses him.
    WHAT THE FUCK!? Mike pulls away.
    "Wow wow wow... I'm not- You're not- WHAT?" Mike tries to wrap his head around this.
    The phone rings and Mike pushes Will away.
    "Hi! Hello! Will?" Mike hears Will's voice.
    "Mike I think you need to see this..." Will whispers.
    "I'll be there in 15 minutes!" Mike hangs up. "Sorry, stay here and don't leave!" Mike says as he runs away.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler can be a good boyfriend. He knows he can. All those hours watching those stupid cheesy romcom movies weren't for nothing, but when push comes to shove, he isn't good enough for Eleven as she spends each day stressed out of her mind about losing. About Vecna. They broke up, and while he isn't happy about it, he also isn't one to give up.

    Then he gets the idea. To show Eleven how great of a boyfriend he is with no need to win her back right away.

    If he just pretends to date someone else, then he could kill two birds with one stone. It couldn’t just be anyone though, not with the apocalypse and all the upside down shit they were dealing with.

    That’s where Will came in.

    Will Byers is a dreamer. A stupid, love-struck dreamer who can't find it in himself to keep denying a chance to keep the boy of his dreams closer than ever.

    He’d never get Mike really, so if he wanted to cling to the closest thing he could get — pretending to date — then who could really blame him?

    (Takes place in the eighteen months between season 4 and season 5)

    Summary

    “Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.

    What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?

    And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—

    This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.

    Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.

    “Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.

    And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.

    “Oh, but Mike does?”

     

    OR

     

    After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

    Summary

    "He couldn't fall asleep, he could still hear the sound of a bomb ringing in his ears. And all of his left side was injured. He had bandages on. His left arm and shoulder were affected but not completely. His stomach and leg looked worse. He knew it shouldn't be a shame. He survived a bloody war."

    Five times John Watson was ashamed of his scars and one time he wasn't.

    Summary

    Richie's therapist had told him when he kept joking at one of their first meetings, “It’s just you and me here. There’s not always an audience to perform for," and at the time he’d laughed it off, of course, rolled his eyes, What a groundbreaking observation, a comedian seeking validation, but sometimes when he’s alone it creeps up on him: Are you performing right now? Who are you performing for? Are you performing right now?

    “I go to therapy now,” he blurts out.

    Eddie looks up from his phone, clearly surprised.

    “Oh.” He nods, blurry in the corner of Richie's eye. “Me too.”

    “Dope,” Richie says, popping the p hard. The conversation halts.

    *

    After Derry, Eddie comes to visit. Richie handles it as well as he can.
