𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 ; 𝑩𝒚𝒍𝒆𝒓
˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚In which Will returns from a long, sun-soaked summer in California looking... different. Taller, tanner, maybe even hotter. Mike almost doesn't recognize his childhood best friend - not just because of the way Will looks now, but because of how he feels around him. Things with El haven't been right for a while, and Mike's starting to question everything - including who he really is, and who he really wants. As the school year starts and old friendships are reignited, Mike has to face the truth: maybe what he felt for Will wasn't just friendship. And maybe it still isn't. ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ Started: 07/06/2025 Ended: ongoing Includes mature themes I'll try to post atleast 2-3 chapters every day! Pre-apologising if I don't!Complete

After The Mind Flayer was defeated, Vecna, a more blood thirsty villain took over the brain of Will. Will struggled to control Vecna's control and managed to do so well through a few months. But as Will's love for Mike became stronger, he was caught at a weak spot where Vecna could take him easy peasy. Only one person can save him now... And that's Mike.
