    Summary

    Feeling flooded back into his body. His head throbbed mercilessly, skull heavy and aching. The light overhead scorched his eyes, forcing them to squint against the brightness. It didn't help that the world tilted again, spinning just as it had earlier that day, colors bleeding into one another as shapes warped and bent unnaturally.

    His tongue felt thick. Uncooperative. His lips numb and sluggish. Blurred shapes crowded into his periphery. Darkness pressed in at the edges of his vision.

    And then there was nothing.

    OR; Will gets a concussion after hitting his head during The Crawl and Mike looks after him.

    Summary

    “Daddy, wake up,” she pleaded. “You’re having a bad dream. Please wake up.”

    Will’s head turned then, slowly, and it was hard for Rose to understand how he still couldn’t actually see her, when it felt like he was staring straight through her eyes and directly to the back of her skull. “Rose,” he rasped, and her blood crystallized in her veins. This was not her father’s honey-sweet voice. It sounded like gravel running through a rock tumbler. And he never, ever called her just Rose, unless she was in big trouble. “You need to run. NOW.”

    --------------------

    Five-year-old Rose Maldonado is not afraid of anything. Until one night in early November when she stumbles upon her sleepwalking father having a horrible nightmare, and her parents realize it might be time to start telling their daughter the truth about what happened to them back in November 1983.

    (ft. an extensive flashback of elmike platonic besties addressing the total bs final battle in a way that turns it into byler proof, because screw the duffers!!!!! you're in MY house now!!!!!!!!!)
