  Summary

  Mike's life is shit.

  Sure, they'd defeated Vecna, the big bad, all that stuff, but now? Now, he's a failure, a washed up, friendless loser.

  UNTIL Mike found he’d fallen asleep on his desk as he was slowly pulled from his state of unconsciousness by a quiet noise in the back of his mind. Confused, he groggily lifts his head from his cradling arms to investigate.
  Is that his name?
  “Mike!”
  That’s definitely his name.
  “Mike, where are you, are you here?” There it is again, that voice, he knows it. He’s dreamed it before. Why the hell is Will here?

   

  Basically conformity gate, what I wished had happened.
