    Summary

    Three years ago, Mike Wheeler was too afraid to speak, too afraid to feel the truth that was always buried deep within him. He let the one person who had always been his safe place, Will Byers, slip away, and in that silence it became too late.

    Now, living a life drained of color and weighed down by regret, Mike follows a thread of hope to New York City, desperate to find the boy he let go. When he sees Will on the dance floor, confident and alive in a way Mike never imagined, he is stunned. Every smile, every movement reminds him of all the years he spent afraid and all the years he spent loving in silence.

    Standing before him, hearts tremble and words falter. Mike is desperate for a life where fear does not rule him, where regret does not weigh him down, and where he can finally fight for the person he has loved all along.

    For the first time in years, he is not willing to let that love slip away again.

    Summary

    I shift my car into drive and rev the engine once, then twice. Their backs are to me, so just like every poor, unsuspecting fan who was forced to witness the absolutely abysmal writing of Season 5 Volume 2, they won't expect what happens next.

    or

    vol 2 is so bad that the only way i can cope is by running over the duffer brothers and shawn levy with my car. and foah is there, i guess.

    Summary

    Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
    “Take me.”
    Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
    Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
    “Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
    Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
    “Deal.”

    ---

    Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
    Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.
