    Summary

    Will Byers loves Mike Wheeler.

    It shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course he loves Mike. He always has. But it’s never felt like this. It’s never hurt to think about it, but it also never felt like a revelation rather than a fact. It hurts, and there’s nothing he can do to ease the pain. He looks across the room at Mike and all he sees is beauty where minutes ago he only saw his best friend. He notices entire constellations in the freckles strewn across his nose, stars glittering in his eyes, and it all seems inevitable. He loves Mike. He loves him and it’s a foregone conclusion, a wish on a shooting star destined to burn out. He loves him and he can’t ever have him, not in that way, and there’s nothing in the world that can ever hurt him again quite like this.

    OR: When the party dares Mike to tell someone he loves them for one hundred days, Will doesn't expect to be the unlucky recipient. He definitely doesn't expect it to consume his last three months in Hawkins. But like most things in his life, absolutely nothing goes to plan.

    Summary

    It’s the end, the chills whisper, sweeping around his ears. So close now.

    Will helplessly lifts his hand to his neck, wishing he could press the reflex out of existence. It feels like he’s seen a pencil rolling off a table, moving too fast to catch as it teeters on the precipice. He can only watch the weight tip over the edge, tumbling down, down, down—

    Summary

    Will ignores a timid reply from his classmate, his focus fully on this strange interloper that could be his best friend’s twin.

    Evil twin, as Dustin would say, his voice low and incriminating. Ultraman type shit. Will considers relaying the situation on their upcoming weekly call to make the current situation less unsettling.

    The guy is cautiously smiling back now – a reflection of Will’s unconscious expression at the thought of Dustin’s clarification – and it doesn’t falter, even once Will loses his amusement. Instead, the grin widens, almost too big for his face and definitely too big for Mike’s usual range of expression. His eyebrows rise above the rim of his lenses.

    Summary

    “Woah,” Will whispers to himself incredulously, laughing a little under his breath as he shuffles through the pages of the letter again. He can’t help but admire the smooth, off-white stationery, its pleasant weight in his hands. A serious-looking “MJW” watermark adorns the top of each page, totally at odds with the entertaining missive and its author’s garbled cursive. Will laughs quietly to himself again. What sixteen-year-old boy on earth has monogrammed stationery?

    Michael J. Wheeler, apparently. Where did Max find this guy?

    Mike Wheeler is insecure, even by normal teenage standards. So when his friend, Max, connects him with her old friend from California, he's surprised by how easily they get along. But as the weeks wear on, their letters grow increasingly personal, and they make plans to embark on a week-long trip, Mike can't let go of one inconvenient, anxiety-inducing thought: What if he wants to be more than friends?

    Summary

    All that’s on repeat in Andrew’s head is a repeating reassurance. You’re alive. You’re alive. You’re alive. He tries the words on his tongue, mouthing them silently.

    There’s a possible way out of tragedy, sometimes.

    -

    After Neil has spent the last four hours explaining the events of last night, an FBI agent herds them into a room with two cots.
