Summary
Hopper’s voice echoes in his head.
You’ve got two roads ahead of you, kid.
Mike swallows.
The first one is long and dark, but at least it's predictable. The other – better one – is crowded with so many uncertainties he doesn't want to confront and choices he doesn’t know how to make. But if he stands still too long, he’ll get pushed off either way.
The problem is, it’s hard to move when the walls of his bedroom feel like they’re closing in.

Summary
This fic is between Seasons 3 and 4, it follows El while she adjusts to her new life living with the Byers in Lenora. She struggles to balance her own confusing identity with the persona of who she thinks Jane is supposed to be. she explores school, her new family, grief and self-expression.
El ran the comb slowly through her fringe until it lay flat, or at least, as flat as she could get it. No matter how careful she was, her mousy brown strands still found ways to fall out of place. With a small huff, she tossed the comb onto her desk and stood back, studying her reflection. The other girls’ hair always looked so neat, so perfect. Hers never quite looked right.

But then again, normal boys don’t die for a week and come back. When normal boys die, they stay dead.
Things Will knows, things Will doesn't know, and things Will learns, in time.

Summary
Will is used to giving Mike space when he disappears into his papers. He's never been the clingy type anyway.
But some days, space becomes distance, and patience gives way to a quiet, insistent need for touch and attention.
Luckily, Mike notices the shift.

Summary
“Come over tonight?” Mike whispered into his flip phone, his hand cupped tightly over the speaker. He lay on his side beneath navy blue covers, knees drawn up, heart hammering as he listened for footsteps in the hallway. He crossed his fingers under the blanket like it might help. “Please?”
He winced the second the word left his mouth. God, he sounded needy.
A soft laugh crackled through the line. “Of course I’m coming over,” Will said, his voice warm and unmistakably amused, like he could picture Mike exactly as he was—curled up in bed, chewing on his lip, trying not to be heard.
Mike’s mouth split into a grin before he could stop it. He pressed the phone closer to his ear.
“Great,” he said, lowering his voice even more. “Just—be careful climbing over the garage this time, okay? My dad would actually fucking kill you if he caught you out there.”
“When have I ever gotten caught?” Will shot back, teasing, confident.
Mike snorted quietly. “Are you serious? Remember when—”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” Will cut in, laughing now. “I’ll be there by midnight.”
“You better be.” Mike teased.
“Fuck off,” Will said fondly.
Mike smiled so hard his cheeks hurt. “See you.”

Summary
“You’re thinking,” Will says, skating a finger down the line of Mike’s nose, under his eye, over his cheekbone, then resting, finally, just at the corner of his lips– “about me.”
Oh, Jesus. Mike’s throat is very, very dry. “What?”
Will opens his eyes – slow, a little hesitant – and smiles. “You are,” he says, way, way too smug for Mike’s liking. “You’re turning red!”
“Shut up,” Mike mutters, and Will’s smile grows. “You– I’m just nervous!”
It should be illegal for someone to look this pleased with themselves. “Yeah?” Will says quietly, index finger still hovering at the corner of Mike’s mouth, thumb pressed gently under his chin. “I make you nervous?”
Mike thinks Will might be psychic. (Kind of.) Will is being very irritatingly vague about the whole thing.
