Summary
He’s back at the quarry. El never saved him. He continues falling, hearing Will’s voice in his head as he falls. He says, “And us? We’ll never be friends. Not until you see what’s in front of you. See the truth of what you are...You’re a coward, Mike.” Mike is about to hit the water...
...when he jolts awake. He is breathing heavily, and his heart races as he takes in his surroundings. He is in the storage closet, on the uncomfortable cot, feeling claustrophobic in his sleeping bag. He sits upwards and tries to regulate his breathing. It was a dream. It wasn’t real. Mike is used to nightmares at this point. He’s had them ever since the day Will went missing, and he has felt uneasy ever since Lucas pointed out that it’s that time of year again.
OR
mike has a headache and is under the curse of vecna. canon compliant at least to volume 1, taking more liberties with vol 2 #becauseican lol. addresses the painting, lettergate, a little bit of mwtfdydgate
POV switches between Mike and Will, sometimes leans a little more omniscient narrator POV

Summary
When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.
OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)

Summary
Mike Wheeler is coming apart at the seams.
Home is no longer a place he wants to return to, his friends are slipping out of reach, and the numbness he carries feels heavier than grief ever did. Paired with a lost friend on an English project, Mike is forced into a quiet, uncomfortable proximity with the past he’s been avoiding.
Their time in the library is strained and careful, marked by silences. Mike doesn’t ask the right questions. He doesn’t look too closely at his own unraveling. He just keeps moving, even as the ground beneath him disappears.
As nights grow colder and choices grow more desperate, Mike finds himself pushed farther from home than he ever meant to go. In a town full of ghosts and half-forgotten dreams, two boys circle each other in the aftermath of everything they’ve lost, both convinced it’s safer not to want too much.
Some lights are meant to stay distant. Others refuse to go out
Or
A group project in which Mike and Will are forced to come together.

Summary
A year had passed since the defeat of It, and Richie was not doing so well. From constantly drinking, losing his job, and having sex with any man that resembled Eddie. His life was utter shit.
On his way back from visiting Eddie's grave, Richie comes across a bloodied, beaten runaway boy in Hawkins, Indiana. He takes the boy back home with him in hopes of finding him a good home since it was apparent he didn't come from one. But the question still remains. Why does this kid look like him?
Mike Wheeler was living his best life at the moment. The mind flayer was gone, El was going to public school with them, and Will and El were his partners! Everything was great.
Until it wasn't.
His parents had found out about their relationship and tried to ban them from ever seeing each other. He wasn't about to let that happen; he couldn't! He just didn't expect his parents to get so abusive.So, not wanting to be a bother to anyone, he ran away. He was not expecting to run into some old guy who was LOADED.
Or, in other words, Richie Fucking Tozier. That stupid comedian Dustin was obsessed with.
Could his life get any fucking better?Bookmarked by cythonian
