    Summary

    Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”

    Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”

    Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.

    “The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”

    Summary

    After an eternity of hiding in the shadows, the Mind Flayer had finally caught him. It had caught him and killed him and now Will was dead. The only question he had was where he had ended up.

    “Is this heaven?” he asked. “Or is this hell?”

    The man brought the cigarette back up to his lips and took a long drag. His features were etched with confusion.

    “This is Hawkins.”

    Will was never found in the Upside Down despite Joyce and Hopper’s best efforts. After finding his vest, they assumed that the monsters had gotten to Will before they could. Will’s family and friends had no choice but to move on without him. After three years everyone has settled into a new type of normal. El has a family now and the party is doing their best to go forward. What they don’t know is that Will survived. He’s back from the Upside Down with little to no recollection of his old life in Hawkins. It's up to them to find him and bring him home again.

    Summary

    Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
    “Take me.”
    Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
    Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
    “Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
    Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
    “Deal.”

    ---

    Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
    Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.
