    Summary

    Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.

    From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.

    This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.

    will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I genuinely think about this fic everyday, the characterization of Mike and the bond of the party and seeing just how much people truly do care about Mike makes me so emotional in the best way. AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON ALL OF THE LETTERS FUCKKKKKKK ITS SO GOOD BUT SO SADDD
    All in all this is such a wonderful story and I’m very glad it was written

    Summary

    “Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”

    Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”

    Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.

    [...]

    “He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.

    “Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."

    Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.

    Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.

    Summary

    Maybe it’s the lingering adrenaline from the false alarm a moment ago, but Mike suddenly has a bad feeling deep in his gut. Something is off. Slowly, he walks around to look at Chrissy’s face.
    White eyes. Rapid blinking. Unfocused. Unseeing.
    Mike’s terror multiplies tenfold, heart rate ratcheting back up. He blinks and it’s Will standing in front of him, glaze-eyed and shaking, seizing, eyes twitching in their sockets, stuck in a waking nightmare as the Mind Flayer forces itself into every orifice.
    He blinks again and it’s Chrissy, going through the same thing. Or something very similar.
    Fuck. Not now. Not again.

    Or: After witnessing Chrissy's death, Mike finds himself on the frontlines of the latest interdimensional battle—and at the top of Hawkins’ Most Wanted list, as police, crazed townspeople, and otherworldly monsters all vie to get to him first.
