Summary
When the Byers move to California, Will is lonely, bullied, and struggling with his mental health. When Mike comes to visit, he notices that something is off, but doesn’t know what’s wrong or how to help while his best friend feels so far away even though he's physically there. However, maybe Mike finds the answer after they are brought closer than ever after El is abducted by the government and they end up facing capture, interdimensional monsters, torture, the past, their own feelings, and attempting to prevent the apocalypse. (Post-s3, rewriting s4, and predicting s5).

Summary
In a galaxy ruled by tradition and colonization, Mike Wheeler of the Solokovs has always been the misfit - a bookworm and a bit of a loser who's been forced into warrior training on the frozen planet of Denorax because he's the backup heir. But when he's appointed to being a diplomat for Denorax instead of a fighter, everything changes, especially when he meets Dhuri.
Dhuri, going by Will behind closed doors, is the first diplomat for his planet Thorara and the native tribe ruling it as well as the youngest diplomat in centuries. He comes bearing warnings of war and threats, but when Mike chooses to align Denorax with Thorara and himself with Will, it begins an alliance like nothing ever seen before - and Mike makes a friend (or perhaps more), which becomes even more important when galactic tensions rise and the two boys and two planets have to rely on each other to survive the storm coming.

Summary
After the events of 'A Glimmer of Light Refusing to Fade,' Will, Mike, and the Party are all battle-worn, exhausted, and half-grown-up - not to mention ready for their NDA deals to carry them into an easy life of peace, luxury, and recovery.
...but, of course, that doesn't happen. Whether it's the Upside Down following them and haunting whatever city they live in the same as it haunted Hawkins or just trying to survive after what they have, it's never going to be easy.
(It's worth a shot anyway. And they'll be damned if they don't try.)
