    Summary

    Mike rests his head against the window, nerves buzzing in his stomach, and tries not to think about California. About the Byers. About the fact that in twenty-four hours, he’ll be seeing his best friend—and his girlfriend—for the first time since last summer.

    Naturally, it’s all he can think about.

    Summary

    It’s dark. Cold. He’s back.

    Thick, ash-like particles scatter in the air. Writhing vines crawl up the walls and into the arcade machines, which flicker on and off like faulty lightbulbs. The whole room is gray, devoid of any music or life.

    And through it all, there’s a voice. One that Will’s come to know almost as well as his own.

    Come back, Will. Come home. Join us.

    Summary

    Something flutters at the back of Will’s neck. His scar twinges at his side.

    It’s nothing, he tells himself, like he always does. It’s nothing, it’s just—you’re tense, you’re nervous, you’re being stupid, it’s not anything important—

    His entire body thrums with a fearful energy. The feeling of otherness in his veins.

    It certainly feels important.

    Summary

    “It doesn’t matter if it takes a hundred more crawls,” Mike says, planting his hands against the table. “A thousand! We don’t stop until we’re goddamn sure that wrinkled, rotting, noseless bastard is dead and gone and never coming back.”

    Will’s smiling, now, looking reassured. And Mike’s saying it for El’s sake, but also Will’s. Max’s. Eddie’s, too. Everyone who’s been hurt by this monster, who won’t be able to sleep at night with even the slimmest chance that he might still be out there.

    He has to do something. And until there’s a better plan, or more information to go off of, this is the only option.

    He puts his hand out above the table. “Everyone in?”

    Lucas, looking determined, slaps his palm on top of Mike’s. Then Will. Then, when there’s only one of them left, they turn to look at Dustin.

    Dustin’s mouth twitches to the side. His torn Hellfire shirt ripples in the late-autumn breeze. “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter,” he says. His voice is low, almost scarily detached. Like he has nothing left to lose. “Just wish I could do it myself.”

    season 5, but make it byler. (again!)
