Summary
The door to his bedroom suddenly felt miles away. Mike walked along a fence line until there was no path. Then just kept going until he was in the desert. No lights except the party at a distance. The stars were glowing in a way that made everything feel so fucking small. Mike was looking at the ground so he didn’t notice.
He sat on a rock that was the start of a hillside, maybe an entire mountain, it was too dark to tell.
‘What the fuck.’ He thought.
He really had no idea how this would go, but this? Barely even 2 sentences exchanged? Fuck he would have rather Will scream at him in front of everyone. Tell him how fucked up it was that Mike never reached out. After Will came out. After he told Will he was still his best friend. After his sister died.
‘Tell me, tell me Will that you’re mad at me. Tell me that’s why you never called again so I have something concrete to blame it on.’
But the nothingness? Like they just barely knew each other. That was so much worse.

Summary
Mike searched his eyes. “Will, I’m right here. I’m here.”
“I know.” Will said, too quickly, as though he was compensating for something. He knew that Mike was with him, yet something was deeply, seriously wrong.
“I know.” He said again, quieter.
A beat. Will was breathing faster now, eyes focusing and unfocusing at what seemed like an uncomfortable speed. The air suddenly felt thicker. His eyes dialed in on the corner of Mike’s mouth.
“I can’t see you.”

Summary
“D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.
“What?”
“How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.
“You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.
“Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”
A collection of moments between cowboy Mike and saloon worker Will as they start to understand what they want in life. Story set in the Red Dead Redemption universe. Byler Big Bang 2024

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.
