Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
Mike Wheeler had everything he could ever want. A loving family, a close childhood friend group, and a passionate relationship. His life was painfully picturesque, and he did everything he could to keep it that way. As long as these amazing experiences surrounded him, he would do anything. He was content.
But in the back of his mind, he always felt unease lingering...how much longer would his facade of happiness last?
or
Mike battles internal conflicts that he fails to recognize, inadvertently taking them out on the people he cares about the most.

Summary
It all started by chance, when Bill noticed the black eye Richie was sporting. Then came the downward spiral of social services, finding out you are adopted and have a long lost twin brother, and leaving the town you grew up in to go live with the family that adopted him.
***
You mean I didn’t just get stuck with the worst parents on the face of the earth by the fate of conception? You mean they actually chose me just to wish they hadn’t all these years later? You mean I now have two families that don’t want me? It makes sense really. I'm just a big trashmouth. I’m a disappointment. Why would anyone want me?
***
The Wheeler's really are polar opposites from the Tozier's. What will it take for Richie to understand he can actually be wanted? How will these boys react to the change in family dynamic? What happens when they both are pining over the same boy? Get ready for a deep dive into the emotions of Richie, Mike, and Will as they navigate these life changes in the last few years of high school. Can they handle it? We'll just have to see.

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.
