    Summary

    He can feel the hive’s connection pushing him back, trying to expel him. It’s painful and despairing, but Will holds on anyway, clinging to the tether irrevocably connecting him to the man before him. “You were just a kid,” he exclaims desperately, voice breaking. “Like me.”
    -
    Will tilted his head, trying to absorb Mike’s words. “The point is, I want to stay by your side, and I feel stupid for not realizing it sooner. And I’m y’know…glad that you said what you did. It was kind of my missing puzzle piece. When this is all over, I hope we can talk.”

    Or

    My version of the finale with first shadow lore, byler, and creelby. Very focused on Will's connection to the Mind Flayer and the role Mike must play in order to save him.

    Summary

    Continues immediately after the events of season 5 episode 7. Basically the finale, but written by someone who actually cares about queer representation. Mike did NOT deserve that absolute assassination and I WILL be doing him right.

    In other words, a fix-it fic based on my last byler theory on my YouTube channel (@i.dontknowhowtodance, the period is IMPORTANT), in which we get a Mike-central finale where byler is canon. I do want to clarify I only watched the finale once and I refuse to watch it again so I might get some plot points wrong but you guys don't care anyway because no one likes the finale.

    Summary

    What if that coming out scene wasn’t a coming out at all? What if Will was able to address the trauma he went through in the upsidedown and use it to help the kids.

    ———

    “When Vecna took me… He… No, wait,” Will breathed out shallowly, blinking away the tears that slowly gathered at his eyes, begging to be released. He placed his hand at his chest, counting his breaths. Face red from tears but still losing its colour with every other second of him being lost in his thoughts.

    Mike couldn’t wait anymore. He couldn’t look at this torturous scene before his eyes. Damn everyone. He moved to sit closer to Will, grounding him with his touch only for Will to flinch, to look at him wide eyed, for his breath to completely vanish from his lungs.

    “It’s okay,” Mike pleaded, attempting to reassure his best friend. “We can stop.”

    Will looked at him, eyelashes flattering, a timid smile making its way out. “Thank you Mike,” he smiled fully, ”but I have to share this. Not only for me, but for Holly, for the kids, because this… this..” he wiped another tear that forced its way out. He took one last breath, and with reassuring nods from Joyce and Jonathan, Will breathed out.
