    Summary

    After stumbling upon a flyer for a shared apartment, a depressed Jonathan leaves home in the hopes of finding peace. When he discovers who the other tenant is, he considers leaving—but remaining changes things in his life.

    As he studied Steve, he noticed something was different. Something about him had changed. Whether it was maturity, he couldn’t tell—but things weren’t as he remembered. For one, he looked worn out, like life had finally caught up to him. The confident sparkle in his eyes was no longer there—instead, it was replaced with something else. Something darker. Hurt. That alone was easy enough for Jonathan to identify.

    Even though his instincts screamed at him to pull away—something else, something he couldn’t suppress—urged him to stay. Jonathan couldn’t decipher what it was. Desperation, empathy, or perhaps a sense of longing. Because when the two of them made eye contact, Jonathan found that outwardly, they were no different.

    Summary

    Michael Wheeler had always known he was going to die in Hawkins. His grandfather had, his great grandfather had, the grandfather before that whose name he didn't even know had, and so on and so forth. When the Upside Down opened up, his first thought wasn’t that he was afraid of death. It was that at least this way he wasn't going to die alone. He was going to die a hero.

    But life has ways of fucking with you.

    By 1995, all Mike's friends have slowly trickled out of Hawkins. Now, Mike lives alone as an unsuccessful writer turned middle school English teacher, feeling as though everyone has moved on without him. When Nancy asks Mike to help her and Jonathan set up their backyard wedding in California, Mike accepts, hoping he can finally find the closure he craves. Except nothing is ever so perfect. Will has been living with Nancy and Jonathan while getting an art degree at Berkeley, and Mike hasn't spoken to him since the mysterious Incident between them after they defeated Venca. This could either be the worst or best trip of Mike's life.

    Summary

    After breaking up with his long-time partner, Steve Harrington moves in with his best friend, Robin. While he's thrilled to be there, he needs to get back on his feet. Robin has been working at a catalog-- modeling to put herself through college. She gets him a job, hoping he can do this until he gets his ducks in a row. While initially hesitant, Steve is surprised to find that he's good at this-- like really good at it. There's just one catch... he can't fucking stand the photographer. The guy is a total asshole. He's standoffish and rude, and definitely doesn't like Steve much either. Too bad Robin seems to like him and keeps inviting him out with them.

    Summary

    For half a second, they just stare at each other.

    Then, Jonathan’s mouth quirks into a small, surprised smile. “You actually did it.”

    Steve scoffs. “Wow. Warm welcome. Really makes a guy feel wanted.”

     

    OR

     

    Steve takes Jonathan up on his offer of moving to New York.
