    Summary

    Mike barks a laugh. “I’m, unfortunately, requesting your companionship Thursday night to see Child’s Play 2 with Will and I.”

    She sends him a look of bewilderment. “How did I get dragged into your date with Will?”

    “Y’know, it’s really great that I can count on such discretion from you and Lucas. Super awesome that you don’t tell each other everything.” Max ignores him and he continues on. “Well, I tried my best, but he kind of looked at me all-dumbfounded and wasn’t saying anything, so I panicked.”

    “Well, duh. He’s liked you since, like, birth. Did you even give him enough time to answer?”

    “Of course I gave him enough time to answer.” Mike grits out, voice tight. “I know how to have a fucking conversation with someone, Maxine.”

    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

    Four years after Hawkins, the Party is still close. They are just older, busier, and better at avoiding the hard conversations. Will Byers has built a steady life in New York. Mike Wheeler has a half-finished manuscript, too many quiet regrets, and a habit of showing up anyway.

    The problem is the manuscript: writing it forces Mike to look back and he starts noticing what he missed while he was living it. especially where Will was concerned. After a wedding and breakup keep them all in the same orbit long enough that there’s nowhere to hide behind. After all, the truth always comes out in the end, and Mike has stepped over things for too long.

    Canon-compliant post-epilogue (in my heart, this is what happens.)

    Summary

    “D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.

    “What?”

    “How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.

    “You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.

    “Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”

    A collection of moments between cowboy Mike and saloon worker Will as they start to understand what they want in life. Story set in the Red Dead Redemption universe. Byler Big Bang 2024
