    Summary

    The day they met, it smelled of chalk, bleach, and spilled apple juice. Eddie was counting his steps — seventy-three from the entrance to the biology classroom. On the seventy-fourth step, Richie Tozier crashed into him.

    And never really left.

    For years, Richie has called Eddie Kaspbrak his best friend. For years, Eddie has pretended to believe him. But when a newspaper column exposes Eddie as a man trapped in a glass box of his own making, Richie offers a way out: three weeks of pretending to date. Long enough to prove the article wrong. Long enough to prove that walls can break.

    The pretending lasted exactly zero seconds.

    Summary

    Nancy can't stop watching Robin: the way she talks, laughs, fidgets, loves. But, more and more, how sad she was too. Nancy’s not sure why she cares so damn much about finally understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but she’s accepted the goal all the same. And Nancy was nothing if not goal-oriented.

    Robin knows she shouldn’t think this way. That she should “count her blessings”, and “love herself”, and rah-rah-rah. I mean, yes, so much of her life is beautiful, and she knows that! But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel like she’s the one that people would call a monster. And after all this time… well, words begin to stick.

    AKA: Robin deals with being gay in the 80s, and Nancy learns that being a hero means more than just killing monsters.

    Featuring: curious eyes, a loss of hope, surprising allies, an Indianapolis gay club, summer heat waves (in more ways than one), a rewritten season five, and the origin story of a life-changing love.

    Summary

    And maybe it’s the way the streetlights flicker, or the way the town is too quiet, but Will suddenly feels the weight of everything pressing in on him again. The truth clawing at his throat. The things he wants to say but can’t.

    He takes a breath.

    “Mike.”

    Mike turns to him immediately, eyes sharp, attentive.

    Will grips his own wrist, fingers digging into his skin. He hesitates—just for a second—before finally, barely above a whisper, he asks:

    “Can—” He swallows hard. “Can you promise me something?”

    ...

    Summary

    However, he let Mike indulge in the thought, never protesting when he shyly asked Will to join him in his bed before they returned to sleep. Lying in the thick bedding on the too-cramped mattress, he did not lean away from Mike’s touch as the boy anxiously wrapped an arm around his waist, pressing them close together.

    He let Mike breathe down his neck, let Mike have him, and in that alone sealed his fate.

    or

    Mike truly believes that he can save Will; Will truly believes that he is beyond saving.
