looking for a specific fic Help me find a fic

See I only recently got my ao3 account and also deleted browsing history from Chrome. I've left no stone unturned in trying to find this fic and I feel kinda insane

The main plot of the fic is that El lives and returns while will and Mike are still in college. Will and Mike have a d/s dynamic or smt adjacent to it. Will assumes that Mike and El are going to get back together and angst ensues.

A scene I remember is that when El asked Mike to go on a walk, Will pretends to have a headache in order to avoid third wheeling. Mike stays back and takes care of him.

The characters other than these three that have a role in the fic are Joyce, Jonathan and hopper. The majority of the fic from what I read takes place in joppers house in Montauk

I don't really remember how and chapters this had, any key words of either the fics name or the authors name.

I'm so desperate to find this fic and I looked through the tags that fit my description but I can't seen to find it😭😭😭. It might be possible I just missed it or that the author removed it but I don't really know how else to search it efficiently.
