Summary
“Yeah. So. Please tell me if you’re starting to hate me,” Mike says. “I thought it crushed me when El …” He shakes his head. “But, I think this would be worse. So. Please don’t let it sneak up on me.”
Will’s mouth falls open, just a touch. Mike has one leg on either side of his dorky offroad bicycle in the middle of a tree-lined street, the weak January sun painting him in a halo ring of white, and he’s asking Will not to leave him.
-
Or, Will realizes that teaching Mike Wheeler how to love him might be a lifelong project.(Told through the months of 1988.)

Summary
But there is that knife between them, always there is a knife. She could lean forward, pull Eve into her, impale herself on the blade just to taste her mouth. Her hands hover by Eve’s sides, ready. She relaxes her stomach muscles – stab wounds hurt less, that way. Less resistance.

Summary
And then soft, so soft Ellie barely hears from all the way over on her staircase, ear angled down towards the slats in the railing, breath held while awaiting a reply. She needs the truth, too. She deserves the truth. After all of this. The blood on her hands, on her face, on her memories. She gets to know why. Why after all this shit, none of it was even worth it.
What Ellie once believed to be heavy, uneven breathing, she comes to realize, is quiet, fractured sobbing. “I can’t lose her,” he confesses, an omission to what Ellie already knew from the second she woke up in the back of that car, woozy and light and empty. Bare legs, cold and exposed in a hospital gown. The whole car reeked of human blood and sweat, while her skin was the cleanest, the purest, it had been in months.
“I couldn’t let ‘em take her, Tommy.”
It’s all the answer she needs.
------
Through the seasons of Joel and Ellie's first year in Jackson. How the anger she feels at his betrayal wedges its way between them and how they find their way back together regardless.

Summary
It’s the same Joel and it isn’t - still rough around the edges with strangers and slow drawl and she still manages to sneak up on him from his right side - but he’s changed since Colorado and Utah and everything that happened in between. Ellie would almost be tempted to joke that penicillin made him nicer, but she knows it has more to do with finding her monosyllabic and covered in blood and trying to fix it because that’s what Joel does, he fixes things.
Joel fixes the light in the dining room, the drain in the sink, and she tries not to think of what his version of fixing things would’ve been in the hospital, hates that she knows he was probably lying and hates that she knows she won’t call him out on it. Right now, he’s fixing an old window air conditioning unit because otherwise she’s taken to threatening to sleep in the river if she has to try to sleep in 90 degree heat because the ancient central air of the house can’t keep up.

Ellie and Joel adjust to life in Jackson and the change of the seasons.

Summary
Will moves back to an upright position, wiping his hair out of his eyes, head and shoulders peeking above the water. “Mike,” he says, pulling Mike up with him, their fingers still intertwined.
“Yeah?” Mike says, tilting his head so the water trickles out of his ears, wincing slightly. “What is it?”
Will’s eyes dart back and forth between his, and then Mike feels his hand squeeze his own. “I don’t want you to, like, think I moved back for you,” he starts, which in and of itself would be enough to get Mike’s soul soaring straight out of his own body, if it weren’t for Will’s thumb pressed against his pulse point like some kind of mortal tether. “Because it’s not like that, I promise. But I think– I think I realized there’s a difference between things you want and things you need, you know?”
mike wheeler on losing people and having them again, the difference between wanting and needing, and finally letting go.

Nobody expects it to be Mike.
Everyone is expecting it to be Max or Nancy, who both have already been targeted. Or maybe El, whose childhood in Hawkins Lab makes her the perfect target. Or Will, who has gone through more than enough trauma in the past three years alone for all of them.
Nobody expects it to be Mike.
Or, the one in which it's Mike, not Will, who Vecna targets.

Summary
He lets Nadja out at night and they stand on the top deck of the watchtower, looking out at the sea. Nadja killed the guard a few weeks ago, and the frigid cold of the Atlantic has sort of preserved his body. Like a milkshake, she’d said delightedly, smile a little too bright. Guillermo, in what he supposes is the first real act of solidarity they’ve ever shared, brought her a curly straw from the mess hall the next night, and looks away pointedly whenever he sees her hunched quietly over the railing.
In which Guillermo plays and prays a Hail Mary, but that doesn't mean a fantasy or two can't come along for the ride.
