    Summary

    If it were grief, it would be easier. Time heals grief. That’s what people say. It’s a different beast than this. Grief demands release: tears, screaming catharsis. Acknowledgement.

    This is silent, a slow-eating cancer that isn’t diagnosed until it’s already taken root. It’s a monster with no hero to slay it, a demon given free range of motion by Satan or God or whoever else controls such things. This isn’t going anywhere.

    Nico runs anyway. Like a fucking idiot.

    -

    Healing isn't linear. Neither is self-destruction. A semester spent navigating (and failing) at mental health, new and old relationships, and what it means to be an artist when the thing you love turns into another one of your demons.

    Summary

    Will smiled back, soft and sweet, like he always was. It was, all in all, the same smile Mike had grown up knowing as well as his own reflection. It was Will's teeth peeking through the slight pull of his chapped lips, and Will's skin wrinkling near his eyes. Mike would know Will's smile anywhere.

    Only, that wasn't his smile.

    Because that wasn't Will.

    "Follow me?" Will asked, and one yellow ray of sunlight punctured the fog, illuminating the tufts of his mud-spattered hair like a halo. It was fitting. If the rest of the town thought Will was the devil, he'd always been an angel to Mike.

    And for the life of him, Mike couldn’t remember what it was he’d been so worried about just a second ago.

    "Yeah," he answered, treading behind Will and headed for the woods. "Always."

    It's the summer of 1987, the town is under lockdown, the people are panicking and praying, and they've pinpointed Will as the one to blame for it all. In fact, nearly everyone seems a little afraid of Will these days, except for Mike.

    (Or: Following a desperate ritual to cast the devil out of Hawkins, Will starts acting strangely. Mike starts having dreams.)

    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.
