  Summary

  Will was fairly certain his lungs had stopped working, or that his childhood asthma had come back, because looking again, he immediately recognised the ‘stranger’ as Mike Wheeler. Mike? THE Mike Wheeler had come to join his band? The one who was well known for being the beloved drummer in another group that had disbanded a few months ago, the same one dating movie star Elle Hopper?

  OR

  A modern Byler fic, in which Will needs a new drummer and Mike is perfect for the job.
