Summary
It starts off normal. Or at least, it’s supposed to.
They saved the world. School’s ending. Summer’s coming.
Everything should be fine.But somewhere in between cafeteria lunches, late-night thoughts, and things that almost get said but don’t, something shifts—and Will feels it before anyone else does.
He tries to ignore it. He’s good at that.
Ignoring the looks that linger a second too long. Ignoring the moments that feel different in a way he can’t explain. Ignoring the quiet, persistent truth that no matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to stop wanting something he knows he shouldn’t.The worst part is, he’s not even sure if he’s imagining it.
Because something has changed.
And whether it’s one-sided or not might be the difference between keeping everything the same or losing it completely.Or
Epilogue rewrite sort of.

Summary
It's 1995, and it's snowing in Hawkins. Will has not been home in five years. He hasn't laid eyes on Mike Wheeler in five years. A phone call that he can't ignore, a long drive, and he's there, in front of Mike's house, like nothing has changed. And maybe, nothing has.
Or: Mike falls apart. Will puts him back together.TW suicide attempt
(Everyone was far too happy in that epilogue for my liking... you will mourn el properly and you WILL have trauma and you WILL ALL be miserable. This will be really depressing but I fear I have no choice in the matter. Byler I will avenge you.)

Summary
Mike closed his eyes.
“Will?”
“Yeah?”
“I hope that maybe… in another universe… we could meet again.”
Will’s heart skipped.
“What are you talking about?”
“A universe where I’m not afraid,” Mike said quietly.
A cold feeling spread through Will’s chest.
