Summary
The world is a beautiful, powerful, terrifying beast. Mike never fails to feel in awe when he sees proof of just how giant and formidable it’s capable of being, and in moments like these, he savors feeling comparatively small, miniscule in the face of everything else.
So many things feel so unimportant when staring down a natural monster.
have you ever fallen in love over the course of four months? have you ever fallen in love while chasing storms? have you ever done both?
well, mike wheeler is about to.or: welcome to tornado season 2026!

Summary
“You should do it,” Will repeats, this time with a shrug. “She’s right, you could always stay with me if you needed to, but I really don’t think anything’ll happen. And your dad is cutting off your access to his card when we move out of Hawkins in September anyway, so you might as well use it for the fun stuff while you can, right? Like, really, what’s he gonna do? Cut you off a few months early?”
“The fun stuff,” Mike slowly repeats, feeling, suddenly, like he’s going to pass out. “Like buying lube?”
Will’s face flushes a bit as he looks away, shrugging again, this time a bit more clunky with it. “Like things that are fun,” he murmurs. “Which, I mean, lube is what we’re talking about right now, so… yeah.”
or: following their college graduations, the party decide to have one last hawkins summer before starting their "real" adult lives. mike and will start a game that pushes past every boundary they've maintained for years.

i could be your lover (and you could be my heartache) by sunsetozier

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
“It’s not my fault that it took me so long to figure myself out,” Mike says thickly, no longer angry, instead just barely holding back tears as he repeats the sentiment that Debbie has spent so long trying to get him to believe. He’s not sure why this is the thing pushing him towards accepting it as truth, but he means it when he says it—means it, too, when he continues with, “It’s not my fault that it was hard for me to understand how I felt. It’s not my fault that I didn’t realize what it was until after you moved on. That’s not—that’s not my fault, Will.”
mike's queer journey happens a little later than will's. that doesn't mean it's any less real or valid. or: 4 of mike wheeler's birthdays and the ways things change.

Summary
“I feel crazy,” Michelle murmurs, nosing along the column of Willow’s throat, sending a shiver down her spine. “You make me feel crazy. Do you feel that? Is it just me?”
Maybe Willow should err on the side of caution, on the side of logic—but it’s been two months and her obsession with Michelle has been a steadily growing monster, a festering desire and need that has made her dizzy, made her mind drift along to dirty places in the middle of her shifts. She has drawn Michelle over and over already and wants to feel the skin that she keep sketching onto her pages, wants to hear her, to see her, to experience whatever she’s willing to give.
It does make her feel crazy. It seems far too soon to feel so infatuated with her. Yet, she is.
She ducks her head, seeks out Michelle’s mouth again, hands guiding her face away from her neck and back up to kiss her stupid, and in between each biting kiss, she says, “It is crazy. I feel it, too. I haven’t stopped wanting you ever since I first saw you.”

Summary
A familiar laugh comes from his right—that recognizable, twinkle-light chuckle that airs towards a giggle when it's late, sometimes more low and husky in the mornings, a sound that Mike craves like water. He whips his head over to see Will approaching the table, his head tilted to the side and his smile lopsided, gentle. Jane is trailing after him, headphones over her ears and looking towards the lunch line, but Mike only has eyes for Will, who glances down at Babygirl Flour and smiles wider as he sits on Mike's left side. "You got your fake baby?"
"My very real baby, thank you," Mike corrects quickly, already grinning as he meets Will's gaze. "And Max's, but she doesn't even want to give our baby a name, so she's barely a parent."
Like the devil, summoned by her name, Max reappears with a lunch tray in hand, plopping down across from Mike with an annoyed look. "It's a bag of flour, Mike," she gripes at him. "Just because you're willing to get attached to the stupid thing doesn't mean that I am."
madwheeler get assigned a flour baby to watch over for two weeks. somehow, this results in both of them getting kissed by the people that they’ve been pining for.

Summary
His stomach twists. Dustin is still talking to Stacey and looking content enough in their conversation, one that Mike doubts he'd be welcome to join. When he peers into the living room, he sees Max and Lucas and Will, all spinning each other around to the tune of whatever shitty song is playing and laughing loudly. Will is grinning, something wide and warm and beautifully happy, a grin that Mike hasn't seen directed his way in what feels like forever.
He looks back at Dustin, hands waving and eyes bright as he talks, Stacey smiling at him. At Max, gleeful. At Lucas, singing along to the music. At Will, head thrown back with a cackle.
It's a gut-wrenching feeling, realizing how unnecessary you've become to the people you love.
or: they go to stacey's party (and maybe kiss a little)

Summary
Bill blinks once, looking a little wobbly on his feet—again, one in the morning—but definitely appearing more alert than he was when he went ambling down the hall to search Ben’s bedside table for the special red felt tip pen that they only bring out when editing essays together. It’s a top quality pen with smooth ink and an odd sense of good luck attached to it. Every essay that they’ve edited with it has come back a B or higher. It’s a good omen, and a tradition.
And Ben had forgotten that, sitting next to the pen in his nightstand, was the ring that Stan helped him pick out two months ago.
So, yeah. Right now, he’s a dumbass, and that’s just that.
Eyes locking on the ring, trying not to get too distracted by how well it compliments the complexion of Bill’s skin (he picked this damn one for plenty of reasons, and that is definitely one of them), Ben clears his throat and slowly tells him, “So, that is... that’s, uh... that is an engagement ring.”
“I mean... yeah,” Bill says, sounding a little confused, amused, and too sleepy to really process what’s going on. “I kind of ruh-realized that much.”

Summary
A bitter taste forms on Richie’s tongue. “Adjust to being normal again, you mean?”
“Rich…” Eddie trails off, his brows furrowing together as he shakes his head, hands reaching up to cup Richie’s face in his palms. “The hell do you wanna be normal for, huh? Normal sucks.”

Summary
Ben Hanscom is the human definition of sunshine weaved into a warm heart and a generous soul and everything good that a person could possibly be. They met in their English 101 class freshman year, and they just clicked, and Bill has never felt as understood as he did when Ben looked him in the eyes and smiled and nodded and spoke with wisdom that an eighteen year old shouldn’t have.
(Ben looks at Bill and sees the stars, glimmering and beautiful and breathtaking. He looks when Bill isn’t looking and he smiles and feels his heart flutter with joy and something else, but Bill doesn’t know that.)
(At least, he doesn’t know it yet.)

Summary
Richie is well aware of just how energetic and all over the place Stan and Eddie can be, has seen their spontaneous sides, the way they look when they’re relaxed or when they can’t stop tapping their fingers or when they get so restless that the three of them end up taking impromptu late night drives that always lead to watching the sunrise from a new place that they’ve never been before.
However, while Richie knows those sides of them, he also knows this side of them, too, can’t count how many times he’s had to interfere from them working themselves to death, luring them to take a nap or literally sitting on top of their textbooks until they agree to take a break. And he knows, with utmost certainty, that walking into their apartment will be the equivalent of walking through a mine field, trying to avoid saying or doing something that might make one of them blow.

Summary
“How much do you remember?”
“What?”
“From… before,” Richie elaborates. “Like, with… with the other me, you know? The past me, or… or the first me, or whatever. How much do you remember?” Eddie parts his lips, but quickly seals them a second later, slouching back against the sofa and settling his eyes on the TV, looking a little blank. Swallowing thickly, Richie averts his gaze to the wall and tries to backtrack. “Sorry, that’s a stupid question,” he murmurs, bunching up his shoulders in some kind of shrug and wondering if it’d be effective to shove handfuls of popcorn down his throat until he chokes. “I just—”
“All of it,” Eddie interrupts, voice hushed. Richie falters and looks to him, seeing that his eyes now appear to be glazed over – whether it’s with memories or tears, Richie isn’t sure, but he just watches, kind of stunned and wary, as Eddie clears his throat and says, “I remember all of it.”

Summary
His knees tremble when he walks over, his hands splaying on the surface of the table as he slides into the booth, his lips twitching up into some kind of half-assed smile as Eddie looks up at him and he murmurs a weak little, “Hey, Eds.”
“I kissed you,” Eddie states, kind of timid but mostly firm.
Richie blinks and slowly nods. They’re going straight into this, then.

Summary
“Richie,” Eddie interrupts, and he doesn’t sound relieved. He sounds shocked. Richie looks up at him in alarm, only to find him staring out the door. “Look at your other hand.”
Timidly, Richie does, moving his gaze down to his other hand and finding another red string tied to that pinky, too. Only this string isn’t leading to Eddie, no. This string goes straight out the door and down the hall, linked to something far from where they are, something they can’t see from here. Richie stares after it, jaw dropped, and meekly asks, “What does that mean?”
Softly, voice lilted with awe, Eddie answers, “It means we have more than one soulmate.”

Summary
Ben can’t help it.
He starts to laugh.
“I don’t think I’m capable of being done with you, Bill Denbrough,” he says through an airy little giggle, the sound much too light for the heaviness of what he just admitted, and Bill finally looks at him then, kind of shell shocked and alarmed and unsure, a mixture of emotions wrapped in a pretty bow and reflecting in his eyes. God, his eyes. Ben sure does love his eyes.

Summary
Then, as if to solidify his realization, the window closest to him rolls down, revealing the very familiar faces of the Denbrough brothers peering at him in confusion, Georgie’s eyes wide and Bill’s lips drawn down in a frown. Ben blinks once, parts his lips to offer a greeting, then promptly seals them shut when he realizes that he’s been caught in quite the situation – one that he’s not sure he can explain. The losers know he has a somewhat strained relationship with his aunt and his cousins, sure, but he’s never gone in depth about his family, about the way they’re viewed, about the way they view him, and he wasn’t really planning on talking about it anytime soon. Thankfully, neither Bill nor Georgie ask any questions, only blinking back at him slowly before the sound of the car doors unlocking fills the still air and Bill simply instructs, “Get in before you freeze to death.”

Ben has a wonderful mother, a judgmental aunt, and horrible cousins. Sometimes, because of that, he needs to go for a walk. Even if it is Christmas Eve, and even if there's a blizzard outside.
