Summary
So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.
~~~
"Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"
"I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."
"So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"
Castiel hums. "We're good."

r/DnD
u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]
Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

Summary
The Wheeler basement, in its best years, could more aptly be described as the first ever museum curated in the honor of Will Byers.
Of course, the same could be said for the respective bedrooms of Lucas Sinclair and Dustin Henderson, but while their displays are proud and beloved, the ones that embed themselves in the Wheeler basement are imposing, insistent. It looms over you like a warning. A threat.
Well, if you consider a pint-sized five-year-old Mike Wheeler a threat. Most don’t, some do. It’s up to interpretation.
(or, the five times mike wheeler keeps will byers' drawings, and the one time he doesn't.)

Summary
“Well, I can tell this means something to him. I’ve got this feeling about it.”
If Will has a feeling, it means something.
“Okay.” Mike nods. “Tell me about it. When did you see this?”
Will breathes out, dragging a hand down his face that settles over his mouth as he looks over it again. “This is… a memory, I think.” He declares, taking a black marker and inking lines between the reds. “A good one. Maybe not happy, but hopeful.”
(or, the one where will byers spends a lot of time thinking in the shelter at wsqk, and mike wheeler decides to check up on him.)

Summary
All this time, he’d thought El was penance, for his failure to protect Will. That being with her was atonement, for wanting the wrong things, for feeling the wrong way. But it hadn’t helped— Will kept leaving. And El did, too. Mike keeps losing people, and nothing he does brings them back.
Each time Mike thinks of Will, he feels the weight of cosmic responsibility.
He's doesn't know what he feels for Will anymore. But he knows for certain that it isn't allowed.
non-linear series retrospective, from mike's perspective. (aka: the mike pov we all deserved)
