Summary
“You want me to draw you…making out with my sister.”
Mike’s face burns red and he practically yelps, “No! I- who said anything about making out?! It’s just a…a normal kiss.” Jesus Christ, he should’ve known that this wouldn’t go well. But what did Will expect? It was the story they’d agreed to tell – the story exactly how it had actually happened. “It’s just part of the story.”
“Alright,” Will responds, leaning back in his desk chair as he twiddles a pencil between his fingers, “but are you like, into it?”
“I-” Mike starts. His boyfriend raises an expectant eyebrow. From the bed on the opposite side of the room, El herself gives him a look. They’re both waiting. Mike nearly blanches. “This is a trap.”

Summary
“You know,” Will started up again, still tentative. Max almost snapped at him. “When I was a kid, after the…” He trailed off, still unable to really talk about his time in the Upside Down. “After I came back home,” Will said instead, “I got…I kinda got cursed, too.”

Summary
[INCOMPLETE, PROBABLY ABANDONED... SORRY]
Logically, Will knows that he, a sixteen-year-old boy, should not be this excited about getting his parent’s approval to go out past seven pm on a Friday. He probably shouldn’t even need their permission anymore. But Will’s life has never been that simple, that normal. Neither had El’s. And sure, some people may consider their parents overprotective or obsessive, but those are the people who look in on them from the outside. The people whose children had never been kidnapped or hunted down by the government.But Will and his family had moved to Hawkins to get away from all that shit. And now, he could play DnD, El could hang out with her new friend (albeit secretly), and they didn’t have to worry about governments and monsters – they didn’t even have to be home until nine.
Their biggest worry here is wanting to make friends with a group of kids that had been arrested once or twice. Right?

Summary
“I left him.”
The words left her mouth before she could stop them, hesitant and thick with guilt. Jonathan looked over, but he didn’t say anything, just watched her. There was something in his eyes that dragged the words out of her, laying them out on the grass for him to observe. Study. Understand, maybe. Or, at the very least, see.
“I’m such a shit sister.”
And then he said: “I wish I had done that.”

Summary
Holy shit, Will thinks. Holy shit, that’s Mike Wheeler.
Dead center stage, his long fingers plucking expertly at a deep blue electric guitar, is a living ghost of Will’s desperately buried past. The central figure of his best childhood memories and worst childhood shames, the boy he thought he’d left behind for good, the first and only person he’d ever really been in love with. Mike.
Chicago, 1993. Will is working as an illustrator, back in the Midwest for the first time since he left at 14. Mike is the frontman of an up-and-coming alt rock band he started with his college friends. Through sheer luck, their paths cross, and everything they ever left unsaid comes bubbling back to the surface.
