    Summary

    “I wouldn’t be who I am without you… and… whatever happens next— I just need you to know that no matter what—” he said with a choked voice. “You’ll always be important to me.”

    Whatever happens next... no matter what...

    Will felt his soul slowly leaving his body.

    Time seemed suspended, as if they were trapped in a parallel reality.

    Then Will started to cry. A terrible cry, sobbing and heaving. The tears streamed down like a waterfall and he didn’t even try to stop them, he just lay there, in the arms of the man he loved and who, apparently, was preparing him for the inevitable end.

    will thinks mike is preparing to leave him. mike is preparing to ask him to marry him. these turn out to be very different things, as you can imagine

    Summary

    Will touched his cheek in concern. “You okay, Mike?”

    Mike managed a jerky nod. “Yeah, fine. You’re just…” He broke off to clear his throat and finally lifted his hands to place them on the small of Will’s back. His skin was smooth and warm. Mike’s thumb moved with the dip in his spine, tracing along the curve. “You know.” Hot and on top of me.

    Will smiled, pleased at that. “I do know,” he said loftily, and Mike got the sense he really did, and frequently used it against him to get his way. “But I like it when you tell me.”

    Mike wakes ten years in the future, a successful novelist and in a committed relationship with Will.

    Or

    The back of Will’s neck has been extra sensitive ever since everything with the Mind Flayer. Mike helps him realize that doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.

    Summary

    He remembers, eyes squeezed shut against the swell of nausea and vertigo that claws through him, being not-quite-thirteen, and listening eagerly to Mr. Clarke explain the science behind dreams.

    “Dreams,” he’d said, “are often seen as these sacred experiences, something that has to have a deeper meaning. We have centuries of examples of dream interpretation, the art of examining commonalities between different dreams to find a single interpretation.”

    “The thing is,” he’d continued, “dreams are just your brain’s way of processing and regurgitating information; a fruit-salad of information, so-to-speak. Sure, it can mean something, but it’s more likely to be a random grab-bag of facts and feelings that you’ve come across in life.”

    A fruit-salad of information. Here, in the dark bathroom at a little past three in the morning, Mike breathes carefully, and tries to dissect where the supposed ingredients of his fucked-up dream salad actually came from.

    Or:

    Vecna is weak. Injured. He's still strong enough to hit the Party where it hurts.
