Summary
And one cold night in his basement, when he turned to Will like clockwork, waiting to see the warm hazel shining with determination at their plan - Mike was the first person to notice. He always was.
Will, staring at Nancy as she spoke to the Party, pointing out spots on blueprints and commanding them in her plan -
without a glimpse of something in his eye.
It wasn’t anything too frightening, like when he’d been possessed and the light flecks of green in his irises had melted into a dark black. It was subtle and slight, and Mike was sure only he would’ve been able to notice it, considering how he knew the boy beside him through-and-through.
It wasn’t fear, or anger, or anything violent, just… a lack of recognition.
Or, Will is loosing his memories again, and Mike can’t do anything about it.

Summary
Will can handle monsters. He’s done it before. What he can’t handle is being seen too clearly, especially by Mike Wheeler.
When a “normal” movie night turns into a spiral, Will’s fear becomes Vecna’s favorite leverage: shame, silence, and the dread that love will turn into rejection. Mike wants answers. Jonathan wants boundaries. Vecna wants Will alone.
Unfortunately, Vecna knows exactly whose face to wear.

Summary
“We haven’t done this since middle school,” Will says, voice barely above a whisper.
“Huh,” Mike whispers back. “Yeah, guess not.”
A couple years ago, Mike read a National Geographic article about a phenomenon called the polar night. In the farthest north and south regions of the globe, there are weeks, sometimes months depending on how close you are to the poles, where the sun does not rise above the horizon, plunging the world into a perpetual nighttime. Living in such conditions, the article had explained, can affect one’s circadian rhythm, heighten issues with concentration and energy levels, and cause a spike in depressive symptoms among local populations. Some resort to using light therapy lamps to mimic the daylight.
It was only after the Byers moved away, all those years ago, that Mike began to understand what the prolonged absence of the sun can do to a person.
The Upside Down is gone, and everyone has made it out unscathed. In the aftermath of the not-so-end of the world, snowballs turn into avalanches. Sometimes it just takes time.
or: Mike gets into Brown, Will gets into RISD, and the friends-to-???-to-lovers slowburn that ensues.
