  Summary

  Will fell unconcious after attacking Vecna's mind. This brings a lot of emotions for Mike to think about. Maybe a mixtape that Mike made for Will can help them uncover their feelings about themselves and about each other?

  Or

  Inspired by the "leak" of a Just Like Heaven byler scene and the mixtape promo that's been going around this season.

  Fic starts right after "Shock Jock"
