Summary
It’s been seven years since Will Byers vanished from Hawkins for the second time; seven years since he picked up his life, moved across the globe, and finally settled. He had found himself in a small town outside of Dublin with no desire to be anyplace else. He was happy. Ireland was great — beautiful sights, decent weather, and it was far. So, so far.
But when past feelings bubble from under the surface and start to poison his creative endeavors, he doesn’t think things could get any worse.
Seeing Mike Wheeler at his local grocery store quickly proves him wrong.
OR: Running away and the reunion of a lifetime.

Summary
“Does he take care of you?” He asked softly, almost whispering. Like he was genuinely curious. But there was something else entirely there too.
“What do you care?” Will turned his head away then slouched into himself. He tried to shake Mike’s hand away from his waist but Mike’s hold only got stronger.
“I don’t.” Liar.
“It sure sounds like it.”
orWill has a nightmare. Mike is the only one who can comfort him.

Summary
Will takes a moment, hands clenched into fists at his sides, to rest his head against the grain of the wood and close his eyes. Here, with the solid weight of the door to ground him, he evaluates the facts: the war is over, Vecna dead and gone for good this time. Max is awake, reunited with Lucas and El at last, who both rushed to return to their places at her bedside the moment they knew. The rest of his family is upstairs, the rest of his friends alongside them, alive and mostly well and rejoicing in the fact that a years-long nightmare has finally reached its conclusion. It’s a night for togetherness, for celebrating hard-earned victories, for finally looking ahead instead of back over their shoulders.
It’s also a night where Will almost killed Mike.
In the midst of their final stand against Vecna, a possessed Will nearly strangles Mike to death. In the basement bathroom of the Wheeler's house after their victory, Mike and Will confront the aftermath.

Summary
Mike is sitting at the desk that technically belongs to both of them but has, by unspoken agreement, become his. His typewriter is centered in front of him, a stack of slightly wrinkled paper to the left, a mug with cold coffee to the right, and his glasses sliding down his nose every few minutes.
The lamp is on low. Yellow light pools over the keys and his fingers.
He types carefully at first, then faster, then pauses, his fingers hovering over the keys shakily.
On the page, the name stares back at him.Will the Wise.
