Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
Will helps Mike bandage a wound on his arm after the events at the MAC-Z. And Mike is completely normal about being around his best friend who has powers now. Just like any best friend would be. Normal.
Except when Vecna goes after Mike, he forces Mikes true feelings to bubble up to the surface as he gets trapped inside his own mind. Of course, the only person that could save him is the one person that causes these buried feelings to haywire.

Summary
Michael Wheeler had always known he was going to die in Hawkins. His grandfather had, his great grandfather had, the grandfather before that whose name he didn't even know had, and so on and so forth. When the Upside Down opened up, his first thought wasn’t that he was afraid of death. It was that at least this way he wasn't going to die alone. He was going to die a hero.
But life has ways of fucking with you.
By 1995, all Mike's friends have slowly trickled out of Hawkins. Now, Mike lives alone as an unsuccessful writer turned middle school English teacher, feeling as though everyone has moved on without him. When Nancy asks Mike to help her and Jonathan set up their backyard wedding in California, Mike accepts, hoping he can finally find the closure he craves. Except nothing is ever so perfect. Will has been living with Nancy and Jonathan while getting an art degree at Berkeley, and Mike hasn't spoken to him since the mysterious Incident between them after they defeated Venca. This could either be the worst or best trip of Mike's life.
