Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don't count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It'll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
It’s been seven years since Will Byers vanished from Hawkins for the second time; seven years since he picked up his life, moved across the globe, and finally settled. He had found himself in a small town outside of Dublin with no desire to be anyplace else. He was happy. Ireland was great — beautiful sights, decent weather, and it was far. So, so far.
But when past feelings bubble from under the surface and start to poison his creative endeavors, he doesn’t think things could get any worse.
Seeing Mike Wheeler at his local grocery store quickly proves him wrong.
OR: Running away and the reunion of a lifetime.

Summary
Mike Wheeler had always known that there was something different about Will Byers.
He knew it when they were young, when they had first met in school. He knew it when he was finally old enough to understand what the folks of Hawkins would harshly whisper about Will. He knew it when his father forbade him from ever speaking to ‘that Byers boy’ again.
But on the morning he was awoken by Lucas bursting through his bedroom door, he knew it for certain.
