Summary
Set in the summer of 1994, most of the party has grown out of touch.
However, when Dustin finds an old acquaintance, he knows it will be more than a one-man job to investigate what could have been left behind in Hawkins.
And unfortunately, Mike falls victim to the D’Artagnan, bringing more urgency to everyone’s lives.
Oh, and Patty Newby haunts the narrative.

Summary
Twelve days before Christmas, a freak snowstorm would hit New York. Eight days before Mike Wheeler was set to go back to Hawkins for the holidays, he went missing.
OR
mike finds a shadow crystal, starts going insane, and maybe sorta becomes the roaring knight of this timeline
OR
it's MY au and i get to decide how shadow crystals work here and whether copying a book that doesn't exist in your universe is plagiarism
no knowledge of deltarune is required to read this but i'd recommend playing it or at least watching a playthrough first because it's such a peak game
[i have no idea where this came from. also too many people i know irl have figured out my ao3 user so. hi from anon... haha isn't it funny that deltarune also has at least 3 mikes isn't that crazy
and to those who have read the fic that inspired this i say: uh, hey, maybe things took a turning left at the crossroads route right now (imagine the "turning left at the crossroads" in bright yellow obscuring the entire rest of the sentence so you can't even read it)]tags and ratings may change as i add chapters but i don't wanna promise anything that's not in here yet

Summary
On New Year's Day 2000, just after midnight, Barbara Byers-Wheeler is driving home when she hits someone with her car. Well, she thinks it's a someone. A closer look tells her that she couldn't be more wrong. After her initial panic, she ends up at the police station with a shotgun and a feeling of fear she's never quite experienced. Once the terror is over, her family explains to her that everything in the books her uncle wrote - the ones they all told her were fiction - have been true the whole time. The monster that she hit with her car and hunted her down was after her. The question no one can seem to answer: why? Why does it want her? There's nothing special about her; she's completely ordinary. Or so she thought. What if there was a part of herself that she never knew? What if her own family didn't even know the truth? What if her whole life has been a lie from the moment she was born? Barbara, along with her family, are going to have to relearn everything they ever thought they knew about the demons from their pasts. But what do they do when the past comes back to haunt them? Looks like the Horrors of Hawkins never truly went away.

Summary
Mike Wheeler got a haircut.
That’s the first thing Will notices as he and Jonathan stand on the Wheelers’ doorstep, arms loaded with moving boxes and cheeks tinged slightly pink in the crisp fall air.
His previously shoulder-length curls now rest just above his brow, still messy in the most adorable way. Mike always complained about how he could never get them to lie flat, but Will thought they were perfect. And—not that Will was looking—but his friend’s face had filled out, too, all sharp angles except for his soft, pink lips. Lips that had been featured repeatedly in many of Will’s fantasies.
“You coming in, or do you need a minute?” Mike asks, voice warm and teasing.
Will’s grip tightens on the box in his arms.
OR
With the Upside Down bleeding into their world, Mike becomes Vecna's new target—and Will must face the terrifying truth of what he’s willing to risk to protect him.

Summary
Will Byers wished he had a heart as pure as Mikes. Soft and caring, leading them through every rough phase. Mike Wheeler always knew what’s best for their group.
Will wonders if this is the reason he hardly ever answered his letters throughout the last year and avoids his presence now. Does he know that Will is bad for the party? That separating ways would have been the best solution to everything, to ending the pain they all went through, since Will Byers rolled a seven on November 6th in 1983?
Or is it something worse? Something neither Will nor Mike can fully admit – not, until both accept their deepest feelings and desires.
Because Vecna wastes no time to use secrets and fears against his enemies. Secrets, that could either turn their world upside down, or kill them all …OR

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
“Weak.”
Mike blinks, and the image sharpens instead of fading. This isn’t a hallucination. This is real. Will is really there, really seeing him like this—on the floor, shaking, broken open.
And suddenly, Mike understands.
This is his worst fear.
Not the monsters. Not the darkness. Not even the voice in his head.
It’s Will seeing him like this—and realizing the voice might be right after all.

So, he does the one thing he does know how to do. What he’s internally been doing his whole life.

Summary
The title pretty much summons up the whole fic.
Name pretty much says it all. This is a rewrite from the finale of Stranger Things. However I will write more than just the finale. I'm just not sure if it will be in this story or if I will make separate works for that. We will see.
Rating and warnings may go up and additional tags may be added, the further we get into the story ^-^
Also don't read this if you want Mike Wheeler slander, you will not find it here c:
Also justice for El/Jane Hopper!
English isn't my first language so please bear with me thank uuu 🙏🏻
