After the fall of the Mind Flayer, Hawkins slowly begins to heal. But for Mike Wheeler, the war never truly ended. Guilt, loss, and the weight of everything left unsaid follow him long after the final battle. And Will Byers - the one who always felt the darkness first - understands that evil does not simply disappear. Sometimes, it lingers in memory, in dreams, in the quiet spaces between people. This is not a story about saving the world. It is a story about what comes after. About love that waited in silence. About two people learning how to live beyond survival and finally choosing truth.

Will Byers never planned on falling for his best friend. Leaving Hawkins for college was supposed to be simple, a fresh start, a new city, a chance to finally breathe. But everything changes when one impulsive kiss turns his entire world upside down. Mike Wheeler has spent years loving Will quietly. It takes losing him once to realize he can't do it again. One frantic phone call, one confession, and suddenly he's running across town to fight for the boy he should've fought for years ago.

**SPIDER-MAN AU** The truth is, Will wouldn't know what an actual normal person does, not really. The word normal has become a thing of the past, an outdated word that's been permanently torn from his vocabulary. Will Byers hasn't known normal for years. Not since that damn spider bit him. And just when Will thinks he's finally figured out this whole superhero life, here comes Mike Wheeler, ready to prove him wrong.

Seventeen-year-old Will Byers gets bit by a spider after being distracted by a new boy in his class, a distraction that changes his whole life forever. ••• contains byler, platonic(?) byclair, lumax, and platonic elmax (dustin best friend to all my beloved). angst but thats kind of expected with the combination of spiderman and will byers tbh. also michael james "mj" wheeler rights! <3
