    It was a matter of minutes. Minutes that could have changed his fate, that could have averted the fast-approaching disaster that was coming straight at Mike Wheeler.

    Minutes that were wasted because no one noticed his disappearance.

    And so he was left alone, with something new and dangerous in his veins, a scream in his head, and only one goal: to get out of here.

    ─┉─ • ─┉─

    Or: Mike Wheeler is dragged to the Soviet Union by the Russians, gains powers, and does everything it takes to survive. Everything.

    Summary

    “Mr. Byers! I was hoping to catch you. This is Dr. Owens, from Hawkins National Laboratory.”

    Will pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance, already feeling a headache beginning to form in his temples. "I’m kind of in the middle of a lecture here, can this wait?”

    “I’m afraid it can’t. We need your assistance urgently.”

    “And why do you need me?” Will was unable to suppress the bitterness in his tone, “You’ve got plenty of experts and doctors on your staff. I’m just a grad student, and I’m halfway across the country. What could I possibly do that no one else could?”

    Dr. Owens cleared his throat on the other end of the line, “You’re the only one who’s been there and made it out alive. Honestly, we could use your expertise. We’ve caught a specimen. A live one. And you’re definitely going to want to see this.”

    Or, it's 1998 and the Upside Down is still alive and kicking, and something new just came out.

    Summary

    Mike tilted his head. “First time here?”

    “Yeah. My usual place closed for a bit.”

    “Well, lucky for me,” Mike said, almost to himself, then immediately flushed, eyes darting down. “Uh, lucky for us, I mean. You know. The café. Business and all.”

    Will felt his face heat up but couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped him. “Right. Of course. For business.”

    Summary

    Looking over to the open windows of the tower, the view of nothing but crowded trees that hid the taunting glowing city from afar.. the place he truly belonged to, made him let out a low, menacing hum.

    With a flick of his wrist, the dark slimy vines closed the window shut – the darkness enveloping them. Just a fleeting sight of light seeped through the cracks from above, falling down to the little boy's fluttering amber eyes.

    Vecna – or Henry, slowly clasped his hands behind his back, staring down at him.

    "You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together, William."

    Yet somewhere beyond Vecna's reach, an oathless paladin unawarely moved through The March and searched something he could believe in – a devotion with no name - and it was going to collide paths with him, waiting for him in a tower that was built through shadows no spell could find..

    For his fate was already bound to the blessed cleric that the world once thought they lost.
