will never found au but will WAS found in 1983 but then went missing again….. right after this:
THATS WHAT IM SAYYYIIINNNGGGG
I made a post Abt this concept agess ago which I can't be assed to go and find but the angst mannn
Will being so vulnerable, so detached from Mike that the mindflayer is able to garner control and tries to get him to be in Billy's role (oversee the creation of the mindflayers physical form and ensure things go smoothly) but Will breaks free and ends up in the upside down again (hiding in plain sight, some deep rooted instinct through the hive, being chased by the other flayed and cornered in the tunnels, or blacks put and has no idea how he ends up there)
Everyone thinks Will was one of the flayed that became a part of the mindflayer. Mike lays awake at night remembering that fight. It literally haunts him.
Meanwhile Will lays awake thinking about that fight. It also haunts him but for different reasons.
THE ANGST. HOLY SHIT.
