    Summary

    Pale, thin scars mark Gary’s arm from his wrist to halfway up his bicep. Some are in straight, almost neat lines, one right after the other, while some of them crisscross each other with a jagged ferocity. Overall, there’s more raised masses of tissue than unmarked skin. There’s no need to ask what caused them, and there’s no way Collie ever would. It’s obvious.

    “Well?” Gary snaps, apparently thinking Collie’s been silent for too long. “Can you fix this or not?”

    Or: Gary Barkovitch walks into Collie Parker's tattoo shop looking for a scar coverup, and ends up becoming much more than just a client.

    Summary

    “Are you just not speaking today?”

    It was a genuine question.

    His throat felt drier than usual. Will forced himself to swallow, shakily nodding.

    El nodded as well, turning back to her food. “Then I will not as well.”

    Will stared at her after that one, a little dumbfounded. Was she.. serious?

    In which Will Byers is selectively mute, and out of everyone throughout his life to be apart of him, El makes him feel the least like a freak for everything.

    This is a Development.

    Turns out, this is a problem.

    .

    or: Will is lovely, and Mike is in love. Maybe. Probably. Definitely.

    Summary

    Finney slowly pulled the telephone from his ear, his heartbeat roaring in the sudden stillness. The dial tone didn’t return. Nothing did. The receiver hung limp in his hand, as lifeless as his thoughts.

    If this was a dream, it was the cruelest kind.

    And if it wasn’t—then something far stranger was happening.

    And Finney wasn’t sure if he was ready for what came next.

     

    IN WHICH Finney fell asleep after practicing with Robin’s ghost in the Grabber’s basement, resigned to the fact that he’ll never escape.

    Then he’s opening them again in January 1978, sixteen years old and one month before the string of kidnappings started.

    Summary

    For a long while, which Will felt too embarrassed to admit, part of the reason he left this secret unsaid was so he could cling on to the smallest scrap of possibility. A little imaginary corner of his mind and heart where he could pretend Mike might maybe, just maybe, one day feel something more.

    It was foolish, he knew this. But it had been his.

    And now? Now it was gone.

    They’ve survived the near end of the world. Now Will just has to survive telling Mike the truth. It seems a lot easier than it is.
