    Summary

    'It hit him then, that this was real. That it wasn't some distant memory of someone else's sins, but rather a memory he had locked away. 

    The one reality Henry had removed from his self—the life he should used to have.

    Henry's vision blurred as the sound of a little boy struggling for his life filled the space. 

    A kid who just wanted to help. '

    Summary

    “You’re just like me, Henry. A vessel.”

    That word, thrown back at him for the first time, made Henry’s heart ache. It rang true in a way that made him want to claw his chest open. The very air he breathed felt foreign, like it was invading his lungs.

    “But you can resist it.” Henry’s eyelids flickered. This time when he inhaled, the breath felt more like his own. But the Mind Flayer, sensing his internal struggle, whispered to him again.

    *You cannot resist me, Henry. Do not try. You and I… we are one.*

    Summary

    The landscape outside the window of the Creel House changed on day.
    Henry just didn't expect to change with it.

    The first thing Will offers him is trust.
    The second is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that he made himself.
    The third is a drawing.
    And somewhere, hiding between all of those things, were pieces of his humanity he never thought he'd find again.

    (part of a series, but can be read as a one-shot)

    Summary

    "Do you ever think about what could have been?" Eleven asked.

    "That's the only thing I think about," Henry said, it sounded like a confession, "what could have been."

    The battle went wrong, it resulted in Eleven and Henry getting trapped together in a place that wasn't the Upside Down or Hawkins, a place where no one else could reach. They realized, fighting was useless. But maybe they could talk about things... what went wrong between them.

    Summary

    "He is the monster, Henry. Not you."

    Henry was standing right in front of her now, and even though he knew he was smarter than this, than to fall into Eleven's trap: she was only saying what she thought he'd want to hear, to save her friend's life. There was a part of him — a naive part — that still saw her as that nine-year-old kid who he once considered a friend. Even after she betrayed him, and turned him into this, Henry once... cared for her (and that was a mistake.)

    But the way Eleven was looking at him held more than an indication of a desperate attempt to stall Max's death. She looked at him with what looked like sincerity in her eyes, the way a nine-year-old Eleven used to look at her favorite Friendly Orderly, before things reached the point of no return between them.

    "You're not a monster, Henry." Eleven said, a tear rolled down her cheek. "Not to me."
