Summary
"Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me."
When Will Byers comes out in the middle of the apocalypse, Mike Wheeler is forced to come face-to-face with his own identity.
In the following years, Mike isolates himself from The Party and becomes wrapped up in a cycle of grief and shame. When he finally returns to Hawkins, he is forced to face the consequences of his self-isolation.
Set over a decade of missed opportunities (read: angst) and snapshots in time, Mike has to learn to forgive himself and find his way back home.
(I suck at summaries, I promise the fic is better)
(Also, warning for period typical homophobia and angst. It will get better in the end, I promise.)
