    Summary

    It’s September 1989, baby.

    Mike Wheeler and Will Byers finally leave Hawkins for NYU: Will for art, Mike for biology on a pre-med track he swears is a “compromise.”
    New York was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead it turns their “friends—no, thanks—best friends” truce into something impossible to ignore.

    Set during the AIDS crisis.
    Because you don’t get to be queer in New York in 1989 without it in the room.
    But they’re going to be okay. Promise.

    Summary

    1. Hawkins is still a shithole, instead of the upside-down, it’s just currently one hundred degrees (thirty seven in Celsius for my European ass) with a one hundred percent chance of repressed sexual tension.

     

    2. Mike Wheeler is wearing a sailor hat and despises Max Mayfield.

     

    3. Will Byers is drawing things on napkins that would give his mother a heart attack and his therapist a career. While he is on the job, mind you.

     

    4. Dustin is receiving the worst romance advice in the history of the Midwest.

     

    5. Everyone is either horny, high or just a straight up a little shit. But atleast they’re employed!

    or: It’s the summer of '89 and everyone is behaving like they have exactly one (1) shared brain cell. It’s a retail war. It’s a disaster. And the only thing Mike and Will are successfully maintaining is a state of constant, mutual arousal.

    Summary

    He slid his free hand, sticky with fruit blood, up the column of Will’s neck. He gripped it. It was tighter than a friend should grip. It was possessive. He wrapped his fingers around Will’s throat, his thumb pressing into the pulse point.

     

    The eye contact was insane. It was a physical tether.

     

    "You want…" Mike’s voice was a wreck. A rasp. "… a strawberry?"

     

    The tension in the room was high enough to shatter glass. And then, Will let out a wet, breathless chuckle.

     

    "You’re an idiot," Will breathed.

    The dream always starts the same way: with the weight of steel and the rustle of silk. In his sleep, Mike is a Paladin and Will is his light. In reality, Mike is an almost divorced academic from Indiana and Will is a cynical artist with wine stains on his chin and a cigarette between his lips. A weekend in the city was supposed to be a goodbye to the past. Instead, it becomes a messy, strawberry-sweet surrender to a hunger that seven years couldn't starve.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler finds out his best friend has been secretly making porn on the internet for years.

    That discovery should probably make things weird.

    Instead, it somehow ends with Mike agreeing to help.

    Or: the one where Mike appears in a livestream and accidentally becomes part of the brand.
