"Lucas... Let me." He begged, his voice raw "I want this. Let me... please."
Three months after Eleven's death, Mike attempts suicide and Lucas stops him. Everyone has to deal with the consequences.

Summary
After surviving monsters, mind flayers, and the Upside Down, the Party finally has time for something normal: weekly D&D.
What starts as harmless in-character banter between Tayr the Brave and Will the Wise turns into painfully obvious flirting, except neither of them realizes it’s real.
Everyone else at the table does, everyone else is suffering.Ancient magic, bad decisions, and one very ill-advised resurrection later, the line between game and reality disappears entirely.
