"I feel like my life started the day we found you in the woods." Will could feel his heart slowly breaking. -- The gang are now all in Hawkins, struggling to pick up the pieces after Vecna won. Some members still feel the divide left by the drama of the fight, and one especially is feeling heartbroken and devestated. Alone and vulnerable, Will begins to be haunted by illusions of Vecna- and it wants Will on his team. As everyone races to stop it before the gates open and Hawkins is destroyed, Will and Mike will have to finally face themselves and the shattered remains of their relationship. - Originally posted on my ao3, thebitchywitcher, im reuploading it here.
