Summary
This is, at its core, a story about a boy who survives interdimensional horror only to be completely taken out by sharing a basement with his best friend.
Mike Wheeler would very much like to believe that everything is back to normal. The world didn’t end, everyone graduated, and now the biggest problem should be figuring out sleeping arrangements and finishing a long-abandoned D&D campaign. Simple. Manageable. Completely fine.
Except—Will is there and apparently that changes everything.
What starts as a mildly inconvenient summer arrangement quickly spirals into something Mike does not have the emotional bandwidth to name. The basement feels different. Will feels… different. Or maybe he’s always been like this and Mike is just now noticing, which is arguably worse.OR: Mike is slowly realizing that “it’s just Will” stopped being true a long time ago.
