[This story takes place 8 months after season 4] Mike has always been in denial about his feelings towards Will. He had pushed him away multiple times because of this denial but now Will and his family is back in Hawkins. Will has been a wreck this past eight months of being back in Hawkins. He couldn't help but feel anxious about the situation at hand. He could feel Vecna regenerating and he was afraid, terrified. He was trying to play it off cool but he just couldn't. One night Will wakes up from a nightmare seeing and feeling Vecna and he doesn't want to be anywhere but back in Michael's room sleeping with him like when they were little. Because of Hawkins destruction and the "gates of hell" many people moved out of it. Hawkins is slowly being crept up upon by the upside down which is now making it's way into reality because of Vecna and there's only one way to stop it and Will knows it.

In which Will gets vecna'd, and Mike is the one who has to save him (Fanart on the cover isn't mine!)

In the aftermath of everything Hawkins has endured, the world finally slows down but for Mike and Will, things have never felt more complicated. As they navigate old friendships, new tensions, and the weight of unspoken words, they find themselves caught between the past and the future, between what was, what is, and what could be. With emotions running high and time slipping through their fingers, they'll have to decide whether to keep running from the truth or finally face it. Because some things refuse to stay buried. And some people are meant to find their way back to each other.

(DISCONTINUED TO REWRITE) You would've thought that Will had finally been saved from the controlling grasp of the Mind Flayer... But you were wrong. After The Mind Flayer was defeated, Vecna, a more blood thirsty villain took over the brain of Will. Will struggled to control Vecna's control and managed to do so well through a few months. But as Will's love for Mike became stronger, he was caught at a weak spot where Vecna could take him easy peasy. Only one person can save him now... And that's Mike.
