    Summary

    There’s something wrong with Will.

    It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.

    No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.

     

    Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

    Summary

    “Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”

    Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.

    I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.

    According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.

    Summary

    It’s been over a year since Vecna fell and the Upside Down collapsed, but recovery isn’t as simple as surviving. Some wounds scar. Others linger beneath the surface.

    Will Byers is still learning how to live in a body that remembers everything—the Hive Mind, the injuries, the fear.

    Good thing he has Mike, and friends, and family who refuse to let him face it alone.

    Or, independent chapters / mini stories based on a "what if" of Will's prolonged exposure to the Hive Mind, the Upside Down, etc.

    Earlier chapters were edited for an easier reading on 3/21/2026.
