Summary
In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.
The silence veered from heavy to charged. All of Mike’s attention surged into his hand. He felt like the entirety of his consciousness was suddenly located in the place where his skin touched Will’s.
What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.
Or,
After first using his powers, Will falls unconscious—and stays that way. Refusing to leave Will's side, Mike reflects on the last year and a half while he waits for Will to wake up.aka mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate. Canon compliant through S5 Vol 1.

Summary
And maybe because he’s looking so closely, or maybe just because it’s Will and Mike knows all his little tells like the back of his own hand—better, probably—he knows that Will’s about to collapse probably ten seconds before it happens, and he’s moving, skirting around the mangled corpse of the demogorgon and sliding the last few feet through the mix of blood and Upside Down slime to drop to his knees and catch Will just before his head would’ve hit the concrete.

Picking up right where vol 1 left off, the right side up gang regroups and Mike has lots of feelings about everything that's happened. This is 100% a byler fic, but it's just as much about Mike having (or at least starting) his version of Will's self-acceptance/gaining his powers arc, because he needs and deserves it.
