    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

    One, two, three, four, five, six…

    Seven.

    Will turns his head to look at Mike, who’s cracking up beside him, covering his mouth and shaking at the shoulders as if he’s never seen anything funnier.

    “Dude, when they said “mix-up with the rooms”…” Mike starts, stifling hysterical giggles in between his words, “I didn’t think they meant there would be seven beds.”

    The Party’s perfectly planned-out road trip takes a borderline confusing turn when Will and Mike’s hotel room has entirely too many beds.

    Summary

    "I was hoping you'd consider being my muse for tonight. I've been thinking about getting into portraiture and I need some practice."

    Daniel pauses. When Louis said 'help out' with his photography, he'd honestly been expecting anything but this.

    "Really? Me?" Daniel asks, surprised and a little disbelieving.

    Louis smiles in amusement. "Yes, really. You'll make a pretty subject."

    -

    Vamptember 2025 Day 24 prompt "Muse" / Louis asks Daniel to be his model for some practice portraits, much to Daniel's surprise who never expected something like this. Louis may have some ulterior motives and Daniel may be a massive idiot. They work it out.

    Summary

    "Don’t," the other Mike cuts in, fast and low and urgent. "Don’t do this here. Don’t do this in front—" his eyes slide over—”not in front of them."

    "Why not?" Will's future self snaps. "You wanna talk so bad, let’s talk."

    "Not like this.”

    “No—exactly like this,” he shoots back. “You don’t get to keep doing that. Acting like protecting him—yourself—is the same thing as protecting me.” 

    That lands harder. Quieter. More dangerous.

    “You think he doesn’t deserve to know?” he goes on. “You think I didn’t?”

    “Will.” A warning.

    “You wanna start with the summer?” he says. “Or should we just skip ahead to New York?” A beat. His mouth twists. “Or even better—Dustin’s graduation?”

     

     

    [Or: The one where Will and Mike meet their future selves, and discover they have some... unresolved issues.]

    [Or or: The one where your humble author somehow stumbles ass-backwards into a series finale re-write?]
