    Summary

    Kim Dokja’s time is moving again.
    Seconds and minutes and hours and days.
    Gone is the subway –the expanse of eternity that had surrounded him like a silent blanket for long, lonely millennia.
    Gone is the Fourth Wall, leaving him to deal with his own emotions like everyone else, without unfair advantages.
    Gone are most of his powers, except the flickers that remain when he sleeps too deep, when his consciousness slips a little too far, and he feels the weight of the universe push him down. This one thing, he keeps to himself.
    Kim Dokja, once Demon King of Salvation, once Watcher of Light and Darkness, once Oldest Dream, is now simply Kim Dokja, 31 years old, unemployed. No more, no less.
    The apocalypse has ended. The scenarios are gone.
    What is left is him picking up the pieces of his life to try and make them fit back.

    Kim Dokja wakes up, heals, grieves, and loves.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja's communication skills leave a lot to be desired, but as millennials, you'd think they'd at least remember to check their messages.

    Or: a look at what canon could have been if Midday Tryst had been used more often.

    Summary

    Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”

    “Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”

    “Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”

    “Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”

    Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

    Summary

    But I know, if the world turned upside down / Baby, I know you'd always be around

    “Mike?”

    It’s a whisper, but it’s filled with something so earnest, so true, that it strikes through Mike’s very core. Rips apart at his chest, with the familiarity of it. The way his name sounds in this younger Will’s throat, soft and gentle and so, so relieved.

    “Will,” Mike says back, matching his whisper. “Hey, Will, it’s me. Mike.”

    “But—” Will frowns. He’s so unsure, Mike wants to cry for him. “You’re so tall.”

    -------

    Or, when Will is possessed by Vecna and trapped in his own mind, Mike is the only one who can save him.
