Summary
For a moment, Mike considers it. He considers door three. A life in New York with Will. Going to NYU together. Living in a shitty apartment, watching the other boy paint while he worked on his novel. Brainstorming campaign ideas for when the Party finally visits. Waking up to scrambled eggs on the stove, slightly too rubbery because Will never quite learned how to cook them perfectly.
Mike considers it, but more importantly, he wants it. He looks up from the floor and stares at Will. Will stares back. His eyes, still green with tears, shine. Hopeful. Like when they were kids. When their basement dream still made sense. Mike realizes it then: Will is reaching out. He wants this – whatever this is – just as much as Mike does. That's the scariest part, Mike thinks.
Mike's never been all that brave.

Summary
An AU where Hawkins was never ‘cursed.’
In that case, there are many people who would have new opportunities. People who succumbed to pain in other lives that are here today.
Others aren’t so lucky.
Some who wander truly are lost.
And they cannot be found - not at all.
