Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.

Summary
Michael Wheeler is a prisoner of war and also of his own mind. Once the strategist and heart of the Party, he watched the world collapse when Vecna won, his friends slaughtered one by one. In the aftermath, Hawkins fell under the shadow of the Upside Down, ruled by a new order of the Flayed and those who serve them. Mike was thrown into isolation and forgotten until his captors discovered that the prisoner's memory had been deliberately scrambled, locked away behind psychic walls of his own making.
Now the question is: what was so dangerous that his mind chose to bury it? Perhaps the forgotten memories hold the trigger for one final offensive: a secret the Resistance died to protect.
To crack him open, Mike is placed under the command of the Shepherd—Vecna's most feared enforcer, a psychic interrogator whose connection to Mike's past makes him uniquely suited for the work. Imprisoned in a sterile compound beneath the earth, Mike struggles to protect what his mind has hidden and preserve what remains of himself. But the torment is only beginning, for both his prison and his captor harbor secrets of their own.

Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.
