Summary
Two years after graduation, Will Byers has built a life in New York that finally feels like his own, spending his Friday nights in a bar that feels like home, dancing with strangers who don't ask him to explain himself. He isn't supposed to run into Mike Wheeler on a crowded dance floor, close enough to touch, close enough to ruin everything Will has learned not to want anymore
Or: Mike Wheeler attends one (1) gay bar, discovers several inconvenient truths about himself, and absolutely cannot handle watching Will Byers dance with other guys.

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

“That’s not the weed. It’s you,” he stated. “I’m always a bit confused when you’re near me.”
Will sighed, passing a hand through his hair.
"Definitely don’t say that when he’s around.”
“Who? Cartoon?”
“His name is Carlton,” he reprimanded, fighting a smirk. Mike smiled and let his head finally fall on Will’s leg.

Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.
