    Summary

    Beside Bethany’s desk in the corner of the classroom is one of the newest paintings in the classroom, depicting a girl not much older than Bethany herself. Brown hair curls below her shoulders, and there’s a smile painted on her face, covered in a warm golden glow from a light just out of frame.

    It’s her favorite painting by far.

    The artist, Will Byers, is a man who grew up only a few miles away from Bethany’s small town. In all his artwork, he always depicts the same girl. In most of them, she looks about the same age as the painting stapled in Bethany’s classroom, but in some she’s younger, with shorter hair and a softer face.

    Hundreds of paintings and drawings, yet the girl never looks older than sixteen.

    Summary

    “I just, uh—” Mike pauses, running his fingers along the knit of his beanie, gaze intently focused on the hat in his hands, “I wanted to say that… what you said back there? It was brave. Really brave.”

    A pause. Mike chances a look at his friend's face. It’s frustratingly impossible to read.

    “Oh.” Will says.

    “I don’t think I could ever do something like that,” Mike confesses, before his eyes widen, “Not that I’m— No, I’m not like you. I am, but just not like that. Not that that’s bad, it’s just I’m— I like El. Girls. I—”

    “Mike.”

    “I like El.” He’s not quite sure who he’s trying to convince.

     

    Or

     

    My attempt at salvaging Will’s horrific coming out scene.

    Summary

    Joanna knows what’s wrong with her—she knows she’s not normal. She knows she doesn’t belong anywhere, and although she’s starting to be proved wrong, she’s still not used to it. And she knows, most importantly of all, that she’s not supposed to look at Stevie Harrington the way she does.
    That doesn’t mean she doesn’t still do it.

    (gender-swapped Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers--aka Stevie and Joanna--and the gaps between seasons.)
