  Summary

  Before Mike can react, his head bangs painfully against the wall. Black spots dance in his vision as he blearily tries to restrain the younger boy with little success.

  “You asshole! How could you do that to Will? What is wrong with you?” The younger shrieks, continuously punching the other over and over. A punch to the gut has Mike immediately kneeling over, a groan escaping him. Taking his chance, Mini-Mike hastily grabs the blue vase on the edge of the table…

  And smashes it into Mike’s face.

  Post s2 Mike and Will travel to the future. It ends horribly

  Summary

  “He, Dustin and Lucas also joined a new DND club,” El says between a mouthful of waffles.

  Oh.

  Oh, no.

  Mike and Jonathan’s eyes snap towards Will at the same time. Will who stops mid chew. Blankly staring at the table.

  My take on how the s5 fight against Vecna could've gone. This is a snippet from my other book, but can be read as a stand alone.
