    Summary

    Mike goes to confront Will, but after he finds out Will has been abused he just fucking kills Carlton instead.

    READ THE TAGS. PLEASE GOD READ THE TAGS. THIS IS A VERY ANGSTY, HEAVY FIC WITH A LOT OF DARK THEMES. READ THOSE TAGS. THANK YOU.

    Slow updates possibly, because I have trauma with DV myself. This fic started as a project to help me work through my trauma, but after I got a little tipsy and decided to post it on TikTok a lot of people wanted to read this fic. I hope this finds someone who will enjoy reading as much as I will enjoy writing, but due to how close to home the abuse aspect is, it might be a while between chapters. But I promise I won't abandon it, and will still post as regularly as I can. This fic is too important for me to just abandon 🤗 Y'all just might have to bear with me.

    Also some of the chapters are REALLY long lol so it takes a while to edit them.

    Summary

    After Vecna’s death, and being severed from the hive mind, Will doesn’t feel free — he feels empty. The world goes quiet and distant, his senses fading one by one until pain is the only thing that still reaches him.

    He doesn’t tell anyone what’s happening at first, he just takes matters onto his own hands. It starts out simple, pinching his arm during class, biting his lip at the dinner table, throwing a playful punch at Dustin just to receive one back. Small things, safe things, just to keep him grounded.

    However, Will’s craving for pain quickly becomes unbearable. His life starts to revolve around finding new ways to hurt himself — and Mike becomes the only thing that makes it manageable. Mike doesn’t know what’s wrong, only that something is, and he agrees to help Will no matter what. As time goes on, Will’s requests grow darker, obsessive and more dangerous, and what starts as concern turns into something binding, pulling the two of them closer together until Will’s need becomes too much to survive.

    Soon Mike is forced to choose between being what Will needs and being what might save him, even if it slowly destroys them both.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Will really, really wishes he could catch a fucking break.
    As if getting dragged into the Upside Down and making everyone rescue him a second time wasn’t bad enough, this time, somehow, Will also leaves the Upside Down with the ability to read people’s minds.
    At least he’s not throwing up slugs this time.

    or;
    Will gets telepathic powers, and can't control them. Through this, he accidentally learns that his best friend is having some less than heterosexual thoughts.
    The only problem is he doesn't seem to know he's having them.
