Summary
They all know that there are bad days. Days when Will wakes up screaming from nightmares, days when he won’t really be there, his mind somewhere else, just floating through the hours. Days when he won’t speak to anyone, can’t speak, can’t make his mind form the words, trapped in some other place.
On those days he often locks himself in his room, spends hours painting dark shapes, slimy hands and vines that crawl and taketaketake.
Dustin will leave food at his door for him; Lucas makes sure to be loud in the room next to his, moving things, singing along to shitty music, making sure Will knows where he is. Mike will knock every once in a while and speak to him through the door. Sometimes Will lets him inside, and Mike will sit with him and softly talk about anything and everything, read comics to him while Will spends time locked in his own mind.
Even after everything, there are still days when it’s hard for Will to get out of bed, when the nightmares haunt him and he’s trapped inside his own mind. Mike is there for every single one of those days.
Or: trauma doesn't just go away because we want it to.

Summary
Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.
Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

Summary
When Vecna falls, Will believes he is free. He is not.
The ghost lingers—in breath, in shadow, in skin that no longer feels like his own. Possession leaves wounds that never surface. Vecna does not simply invade; he remakes, until Will cannot trace the border between self and monster.
But his powers materialize.
And it feels nice to be now the one that takes.
(a deep dive into will byers' trauma after watching season 5 vol. 1)

Summary
Mike carefully took off the top and placed it down somewhere on his desk. His eyes immediately landed on the small, almost glistening blade inside.
He felt a warm, bubbly feeling in his chest as a soft grin spread across his face.

Summary
Will has nightmares, Mike has an idea, and there is far too much touching involved for Will's own sanity.
