   Summary

   Four years of peace, completely shattered. Mike and Will begin experiencing haunting, inescapable visions of their worst nightmares coming to life, and they both revolve around the same fatal weakness: their love for each other.

   Vecna is back.

   With the lines between reality and terror blurring, they have to face the ultimate test. Can love defeat fear, or will the darkness consume them both?

   OR: my spin on a Leviticus AU (no Leviticus spoilers and you don’t need to watch it to understand what’s going on)
