    Summary

    “What do you want from me?” Will croaks. He tries to lift his head but sees stars instead. “W-why can’t you just leave me alone?”

    The Monster is quiet for several long, painstaking moments. “Why do you keep fighting me?” he asks, in lieu of an answer. “I only come to take what is rightfully mine, William.”

    Tears sting Will’s eyes, and he blinks them away furiously, forcing himself to sit up despite the lingering nausea. “I’m not yours,” he hisses. “I am not yours, and I never will be.”

    Or:

    Years after their first encounter, the Monster from Will's childhood returns and will stop at nothing to have 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!!!!!!!!!)

    Summary

    And then Will appears behind him, one hand resting instinctively over the swell of his belly. He looks tired but glowing in that unmistakable way. Her Will, her baby. Except he’s standing here in his apartment, with his separate life, a baby of his own inside him, with someone who loves him as fiercely as Joyce herself does.

    Joyce visits Mike and Will after a pregnancy announcement.

    Summary

    The thing is, Will’s a pretty crier.

    And that was the source of all of Mike’s issues.

    Summary

    “Does it need to be like ceramics last semester? Do I need to drop you off and pick you up at the door again like a fucking preschooler?” Will shakes his head as best as he can, a whimper escaping from his lips. Mike grips his jaw tighter. “Speak.”

    “N-no, Mike.” Yes, actually, Will wants to say. He liked it when Mike did that last semester, walking him to and from class like Will’s big, scary guard dog. Sometimes, if Will was lucky, Mike would wait in the hallway during his class, clutching some mass market paperback, spine cracked and curled in on itself. Even big, scary guard dogs have owners, Will would think as Mike stayed put for him.

    In which someone asks for Will’s number and it makes Mike murderously angry.
