    Summary

    Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.

    Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while. 

    It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.

    Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler. 

    OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

    Summary

    It starts with a Hellfire shirt. Mike doesn't know if it's cursed or blessed because wearing it always makes Will act strangely. Then, it's spiraling into a hope Mike didn't know he could have. Will has never been closer, but Mike still isn't sure he can have what he wants. Or can he?

    -

    “You’ll let me do your hair?”

    Mike knows this is a bad idea. Knows he’ll be red the whole time and stutter and give himself away, but this is Will. Will with his hands in his hair, so close Mike can stare all he wants. Fantasize about what a kiss might be like. Hidden away in the safety of what should’ve been their bedroom. Maybe he can use today to convince Will it can be.

    “Only if you make me look good.”

    Will stands with a sweet smile. “Easiest job in the world then.” And then he disappears into the hallway before Mike can even start to stumble in front of him.

    What?

    What does that mean?

    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!!!!!!!!!)
