    Summary

    The world is falling apart and the Byers have been living in the Wheeler household much to Will's dismay. Stress piles up, secrets pile higher, and Mike and Will's relationship teeters between friendship, denial, and something neither of them has the courage to name.

    A single night crosses a line they can't uncross and Will's long-rooted feelings only intensify, especially when Mike's affection only surfaces through the hazes of stolen wine or when he falls apart.

    Caught between hope and heartbreak, Will can't tell whether Mike truly feels the same... or if it's just his way of numbing the world as it seems to be breaking.

    Regardless of where they stand with one another, can they withstand the end of the world?

    OR!

    what happened during those 18 months + REWRITTEN SEASON FIVE.

    (WARNING: lots of VERY mature subjects and themes in this story, viewer discretion is advised. - Also tried to make the characters as close to themselves as possible. Everything is pretty accurate in the setting other than Robin having a friendship with Will here.)
