Summary
He knew he’d been having nightmares—he’d been having them for three years—but there was something about the last one that still felt present in its wake.
Physically, Mike sort of felt like he was still in a dream. His muscles carried a tired ache, but as he moved throughout the house he found his limbs felt weightless. Walking down the stairs felt like floating.
The other strange thing was the way his skin felt alive. It became something separate from his body, like it was its own entity. He felt the vivid touch of fingertips and dry, scratchy palms, something so unfamiliar he wasn’t sure how he’d conjured it up. The constant sensation simply couldn’t exist outside of his own imagination, but it wasn’t like he was trying to feel it. It just was.
The worst of it all was the way he felt himself… slipping.
OR: Three years after Will's death, Mike is still haunted nightly by the memory. When his nightmare bleeds into his day, he realizes something is beginning to change.

Summary
Will is a young gay man committed to Lazarus by his father. Traumatized and alone, he's assigned to Cell 44—right next to Cell 45, where Mike lives. Mike is infamous: violent, isolated, feared by patients and staff alike.
Through late night conversations, Will learns fragments of Mike—his sharp wit, his cruelty, his unexpected tenderness. Mike teaches Will to breathe through panic attacks after his traumatic conversion therapy sessions. But Mike also pushes Will away, warning him to stay distant, insisting nothing good comes from getting close to him. A psychological tension between horror and attraction, exploring whether a monster can be capable of tenderness—and whether Will's inability to fear Mike makes him brave, broken, or both.Bookmarked by Xynlon

Summary
“And when you come home in pieces, bleeding, pretending nothing happened just because for ten minutes someone pretended to want you...” Mike's voice cracked for a fraction of a second before turning to ice.
“When you break down and realize how pathetic you've been... don't call me. Don't you dare call me.”It’s 1992, and college is an unbearable cage of isolation for Will Byers.
His only anchor is Mike, who visits every weekend while constructing a wall of lies to not face his feeling.
Driven to the brink by Mike’s sudden coldness and the cruel words hurled over a breaking phone line, Will’s mental state spirals into a dangerous craving for self-destruction.
He seeks an escape in the neon haze of the Blue Room, where he willingly surrenders to the bruises and the blurred touch of strangers, desperate to wash Mike's shadow out of his skin.But his reckless behavior leaves scars, and when Mike finally discovers the dangerous edge he has pushed Will into, the thin veil of their platonic promises will shatter for good.
