Summary
“I can stay,” you decide. Bloody knuckles never been so soft, now leaning a question against your wrist. You turn your palm upside and there you feel the perfect slot of his fingers between yours: it’s a shape you can hold without dropping. You’re the red on his hands, but not the blood.
or
Post S4. Of discovering and grief.

Summary
"So I get what you mean. About waiting for the other shoe to drop. You’re not—you’re not the only one, is what I’m saying.”
It does not change the end-of-the-world feeling, but still something unclenches in Mike’s chest.
“Thanks.”
An embarrassed heat creeps up his neck. Again, he imagines telling Will about El. The voice in the back of his head laughs derisively.
Then, for reasons he cannot elucidate to even himself, he shoves Will in the chest.
“Um,” says Mike. His throat suddenly grows dry. He glances down at his empty glass.
“Right.” Will moves away from the sink, clearing the way for him. “No—no worries, of course. Good night, Mike.”
When he trudges upstairs, he thinks about how he spends most of his time waiting these days. He hopes the old adage about time healing wounds turns out to be true. If not, he’s just wasting it all resentfully gritting his teeth and bearing the pain for nothing.
-
a mostly canon-loyal st5 rewrite, in which the thirty-seventh Crawl still goes wrong, Vecna targets another Wheeler, Will yearns, and Mike wonders what the hell that fluttering feeling in his stomach is.
