Summary
Mike searched his eyes. “Will, I’m right here. I’m here.”
“I know.” Will said, too quickly, as though he was compensating for something. He knew that Mike was with him, yet something was deeply, seriously wrong.
“I know.” He said again, quieter.
A beat. Will was breathing faster now, eyes focusing and unfocusing at what seemed like an uncomfortable speed. The air suddenly felt thicker. His eyes dialed in on the corner of Mike’s mouth.
“I can’t see you.”
Or:

Summary
Mike looks at me and I reach a single hand out toward him, my shoes touching the base of the stairs.
He mouths something I can't read, then his thumb presses down on the button.
What did you say, Mike?I’m drowning under the weight of the nightmare. But I don’t think I want it to end if it means losing the last place he still exists.I can feel the heat of the explosion scorching my face.
I think I always will.
or: Will Byers has been given a re-do by fate, two years after Mike Wheeler sacrifices himself to close the gate for good.
Is this really a dream?

Summary
Will is a young gay man committed to Lazarus by his father. Traumatized and alone, he's assigned to Cell 44—right next to Cell 45, where Mike lives. Mike is infamous: violent, isolated, feared by patients and staff alike.
Through late night conversations, Will learns fragments of Mike—his sharp wit, his cruelty, his unexpected tenderness. Mike teaches Will to breathe through panic attacks after his traumatic aversion therapy sessions. But Mike also pushes Will away, warning him to stay distant, insisting nothing good comes from getting close to him. A psychological tension between horror and attraction, exploring whether a monster can be capable of tenderness—and whether Will's inability to fear Mike makes him brave, broken, or both.Bookmarked by Whippedwheeler
