    Summary

    Will and Mike took it in for a moment, the widest smiles on their faces as tears flowed freely. This was the moment everything was building towards. It made everything worth it. The fight in the rain, the California chapter, the signal tower, and the end of the world. The college confessions, the clumsy first dates and first times, the late night arguments and storming out of dorm rooms and apologizing later on the phone. The ‘I love you’s, their first house together, their first baby, their beautiful life.

     
    The two of them stood here, holding their history in one hand, and their future in another. Knowing that as long as they had each other, they were home.

    OR

    After fourteen years together, Mike and Will finally get married surrounded by their closest friends and family ♡

    Summary

    “I was twelve when I knew I liked him,” Will had confessed one night, when it was just them and Micheal’s “Party,” as he called them, having a sleepover in this very basement, everyone else long since fallen asleep. “But I knew I was… different before then, you know?”

    “Trust me,” Richie had muttered, “I know.” And then he had done something that had surprised even himself- he reached over and kissed Will. Nothing big, nothing romantic even, not really, just a peck on the cheek. It was “I see you” and “I’ve felt your pain” and “It’s not just you” without the words that Richie always managed to fumble on, tripping over sincerity every time it mattered.

    Will had just flushed all over, deep enough for Richie to see it even in the dark, and to ease the tension the Derry kid patted his cheek, maybe just a little harder than he’d meant to, but never enough to actually hurt Will.

    “S’ok, man. We’re both fucked.”

    Richie visits his cousin Mike in Hawkins for the summer and finds his cousin’s best friend may have more in common with him than he first thought.

    Summary

    Will had set out to see what was waiting for him outside of Hawkins. He was going to college in the city. Mike knew he was happy. Free, for once.

    It didn’t mean he missed him any less, though.

    The basement that used to be his sanctuary wasn’t even his anymore. It had long been taken over by Holly and her friends. It was their turn to have their own little world. He knew that it was time to start discovering the real one; he just didn’t know how. He never thought he’d look back fondly on the time when eight people lived in the house, but now, it just felt empty to him.

    Writing helped him make sense of everything, but right now, the typewriter sat still on his desk. He didn’t think writer’s block was even possible after everything he’d seen. The sense of stagnation drove him crazy. Nothing seemed to feel right anymore. Was it all just part of growing up? He really hoped not, because if it was-

    “Mike! Will’s on the phone!”
    -
    Mike feels lost ten months after graduating from high school. Spending his birthday weekend with Will in the city, the light finds him again. An agreement to be completely honest with each other brings up some old truths and new discoveries.

    Summary

    The Wheeler basement, in its best years, could more aptly be described as the first ever museum curated in the honor of Will Byers.

    Of course, the same could be said for the respective bedrooms of Lucas Sinclair and Dustin Henderson, but while their displays are proud and beloved, the ones that embed themselves in the Wheeler basement are imposing, insistent. It looms over you like a warning. A threat.

    Well, if you consider a pint-sized five-year-old Mike Wheeler a threat. Most don’t, some do. It’s up to interpretation.

    (or, the five times mike wheeler keeps will byers' drawings, and the one time he doesn't.)
