Summary
"Who are you?"
Carl bites his tongue, trying to prevent his countenance from betraying his rapid-fire pulse and the thin sheen of sweat that is forming inside his palms. He knows the answer that is expected of him.
On his left, the Saviors are watching with slight amusement, his predicament the closest thing to a TV they have at their disposal. In front of him, Negan has lost his usual smirk, and is now watching him with his most frightening expression - one of patient seriousness. On his right, Shane is looking at him expectantly.
"I'm Negan," he answers, because what choice does he have.
**
In a world where Rick never found Carl & Lori, Carl has managed to keep himself and his sister alive in spite of Shane's growing madness. After surviving the apocalypse with Shane, Negan is nothing he can't handle... Right?

Summary
Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.
"Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.
He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."
"Again."
El is gone.
Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.
Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

Summary
“It doesn’t matter if it takes a hundred more crawls,” Mike says, planting his hands against the table. “A thousand! We don’t stop until we’re goddamn sure that wrinkled, rotting, noseless bastard is dead and gone and never coming back.”
Will’s smiling, now, looking reassured. And Mike’s saying it for El’s sake, but also Will’s. Max’s. Eddie’s, too. Everyone who’s been hurt by this monster, who won’t be able to sleep at night with even the slimmest chance that he might still be out there.
He has to do something. And until there’s a better plan, or more information to go off of, this is the only option.
He puts his hand out above the table. “Everyone in?”
Lucas, looking determined, slaps his palm on top of Mike’s. Then Will. Then, when there’s only one of them left, they turn to look at Dustin.
Dustin’s mouth twitches to the side. His torn Hellfire shirt ripples in the late-autumn breeze. “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter,” he says. His voice is low, almost scarily detached. Like he has nothing left to lose. “Just wish I could do it myself.”

Summary
“We have to kill him,” Mike finishes fiercely, and for a second, Will pictures him in full paladin gear, making the same speech in a castle, or a magical forest, or a dark dungeon. He’s every bit the boy Will’s always known, the one who stands up for his friends and his principles and never, ever backs down. Even when the odds are against them. Even when they’re impossible.
Will swears that he can feel electricity crackling in the air, Mike’s last sentence settling on the group like a physical weight. Everyone looks impressed: Jonathan, Hopper, even Owens. Will knows the look on his own face must be incredibly obvious, incredibly stupid.
He doesn’t care. That’s the Mike he knows. That’s the Party’s leader.
That’s the boy Will fell in love with.

“A nice little heart to heart,” Mike repeats quietly. “About my dead girlfriend.”
“And his dead sister,” Dustin adds, unperturbed.
Or: Post-canon fix-it, from graduation. Four summers, four winter breaks, and four spring breaks in which Mike Wheeler needs to figure his shit out.
