   Summary

   Every since they defeated Vecna, life has been kind to nearly everyone. Except, perhaps, Mike Wheeler.
   The fic with lockets and broken clocks, where Mike Wheeler is a coward and Will Byers refuses to move on.

   I had beef with the Finale. This is my attempt at fixing it. Trust the process..
