    Summary

    It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.

    Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

    Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

    Summary

    It was a difficult decision, but for El's sake, she and Will moved across the country to Washington. Will began college, and El worked to finish her hard-earned high school diploma, and just before the end of the semester, Will had his first art exhibition. Mike, Lucas, Max, and Dustin gather together to fly to Washington to attend the exhibit, and after close to a year of not seeing each other, the kids pick up where they left off to have one last adventure before fully letting go of their childhoods.

    In other words, this is a loving story among childhood friends that mends some of the wounds from the season 5 finale.

    Summary

    He didn’t really understand why someone would want to go to a cemetery for a birthday party, but hey, maybe Will was a bit of a weird kid.

    “Hey Will.” Mike called, his voice gentler than he had ever heard it.

    He whipped his head around, scanning the rows for another figure, desperately looking for Will. It didn’t really click until Mike stepped forward and knelt beside a grave, placing his perfectly imperfect cake in front of a well-kept headstone.

    Oh.

     

    Will Byers is dead.

    So how the hell did he end up stuck haunting Mike Wheeler's basement?

    Summary

    Will hated that this was his life now: diagnoses and medication he really didn’t want. He wonders, sometimes, that maybe if he had stayed dead, he would’ve at least died normal and not forever changed.

    Recovery isn’t linear.
