Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
The strange thing about Theo, Potter, was that he never saw himself the way I did. Thought he was ruined, broken, bad. But to me he was gold, always. Even when he cheated, even when he lied. Maybe especially then.
OR, the before, the during, and the aftermath of The Goldfinch, as told by Boris.

Summary
“Hi, I’m Neil Perry. I think we’re going to be roommates.”
Todd Anderson glanced up from her saddle shoes, which her mother had shined so vigorously that she could not only see her own distorted reflection in the black, lacquer-like leather, but the reflection of a bony, tanned hand that belonged to the girl standing before her.
Or
A lesbian Dead Poets Society AU. Neil and Todd fall in love. Everything is beautiful.

Summary
The skyline above Mt. Hawkins was clear, and the setting sun cut through the cold November sky, bathing the fire station’s cab thickly in orange light. Will Byers' long khaki-clad limbs curled into a chair by one of the south side windows, glass extending from floor to ceiling on every side of their home. Will balanced binoculars in one hand and a notebook in the other, scribbling. On the other side of the room, Mike Wheeler flopped onto his bed, radio in hand.
or, it is 1963, and Will and Mike are rangers stationed at a remote fire lookout tower in the mountains. Will goes missing.

Summary
“I think you’d make a good priest,” Mike says, after a moment. His face is serious, but there’s an almost joyful sincerity in his eyes.
“Yeah?” Will asks, flattered.
“Yeah. You know how people say they can see God in someone?” Mike asks, and Will nods. “I can see God in you.”
or
Hawkins, Montana, June 1988. When Lonnie Byers catches his youngest son in the arms of another boy, he calls in that favor owed to him by rancher Jim Hopper in Lenora: Will must work as an unpaid ranch hand and learn to "man up." Mike Wheeler follows him to the creepy ranch with electrical problems, like any best friend would.

Summary
Seeing him here, in New York, surrounded by the deep browns and golds of Hobart and Blackwell, is so alien to me I have to repress the urge to pinch myself like a child would after a dream. It looks incorrect, him standing here. Like someone has taken a pair of scissors to my memories of him, cut him out of his rightful place on the abandoned playground, and pasted him sloppily into a corner of my life where he doesn’t belong. Has it only been a few weeks? It feels like ages longer, like it’s been a decade, like we’re different people trying to see what exactly we liked about each other so much way back when.
But then he says it again- “Potter.”- and that feeling vanishes as quickly as it arrived.
“You came,” I say dumbly.
He gives a cheery smirk that I don’t believe. “Promised I would.”

Summary
Mike and Will aren't just dating. They're planning to spend the rest of their lives together. After defeating Vecna and the Upside Down and surviving the suffocating air of Hawkins, they're preparing to go to college together. But as their last summer in their hometown comes to an end, Mike and Will have been itching to take their relationship to the next level, despite their insecurities gnawing mercilessly at any semblance of self-love/esteem/worth. Still, they are determined to make it work this time because they'd rather choose their truth than to live in fear.
