Summary
“A real life, honest to God sorcerer!”
Mike’s voice bounced around in his head for hours after he cheered them into Will’s ear. Even when they made it back to the radio station and Mike is clarifying Will’s feats ─ “Three, to be exact,” ─ the sound hummed as loudly as the thrilling pressure of Mike’s arms gripping him close with real enthusiasm for the first time in years. Who knew that sprouting psychic powers and slaying demons was all it took to make Michael Wheeler want him close again?
_____
In which Will Byers fights to be himself while fighting against the end of his world.

Summary
“The name of the game,” Richie belted, “is Never Have I Ever! We each take turns declaring something we’ve never done, if nobody cheats,” he shot a narrow glare at Beverly, “and all you dirty sluts that have done it must take a sip of whatever drink they choose. Got it?”
“Shut up so we can get started,” Stan bossed louder than he anticipated. Richie eyed him with a curious gaze which made him tense a little. “Stan the Man! Eager beaver tonight. You’re usually the buzzkill in these things.”
That’s only when Bill’s here. Richie’s expression took a more mischievous shape. Did I say that out loud?Series

Summary
A certain scene from the movie popped up, causing Will’s mouth to drop open and for his eyes to widen as he soaked in what was on the TV.
Of all the scenes in the movie, Mike had returned The Outsiders paused during the few, brief seconds when Sodapop was getting out of the shower in the background of the shot. Sodapop haphazardly covered himself with a towel, and then wrapped the towel just, like, stupidly low around his hips, his chest still wet and bare from the shower.
Or:
3 times that Mike Wheeler doesn’t rewind his rental movie before returning it to Family Video + 1 time that he does.
