Summary
Will takes a moment, hands clenched into fists at his sides, to rest his head against the grain of the wood and close his eyes. Here, with the solid weight of the door to ground him, he evaluates the facts: the war is over, Vecna dead and gone for good this time. Max is awake, reunited with Lucas and El at last, who both rushed to return to their places at her bedside the moment they knew. The rest of his family is upstairs, the rest of his friends alongside them, alive and mostly well and rejoicing in the fact that a years-long nightmare has finally reached its conclusion. It’s a night for togetherness, for celebrating hard-earned victories, for finally looking ahead instead of back over their shoulders.
It’s also a night where Will almost killed Mike.
In the midst of their final stand against Vecna, a possessed Will nearly strangles Mike to death. In the basement bathroom of the Wheeler's house after their victory, Mike and Will confront the aftermath.

Summary
“Picture this,” Santos said, setting the proverbial scene by holding her fingers out in two L-shapes before them. She closed one eye in concentration as she continued, “The Scooby Doo gang. Whitaker as Scooby, me as Fred, you as Shaggy—”
Frank had given her a deadpan look. “Because he’s a stoner?”
Santos rolled her eyes as she dropped her arms. “Wow, fixate much? How about instead of focusing on that,” she had said, though she had pointedly avoided his gaze after, “why don’t you think about the fact that it would mean Mel is going to be Velma?”
or: the gang goes to a Halloween party, and Frank realizes (for the millionth time) how blessed he is to be Melissa King’s boyfriend.

Summary
Will’s eyes sting with tears, and his nose prickles with heat. He feels like he’s burning, like he’s on fire. But Mom’s right—he doesn’t have to be afraid. She knows, and she loves him, and she’s not leaving. All that’s left is the words. And he shouldn’t be scared of words. After all he’s been through, if what takes him down is the English alphabet, then the world has a really fucked up sense of humor.
He just needs to rip off the bandaid.
