    Summary

    Noah can feel the cold stillness weighing down on him as the incessant chatter outside his bedroom cuts through the short-lived silence. He might have chosen rest, but rest did not choose him. It rarely ever does. He nestles under the pile of blankets, clutching them closer, savoring the final threads of warmth and safety for a few minutes before finally bracing himself for the stretch of hours to come. He kicks off the bed, tucks himself into his robe and starts to make his way to the bathroom, stopping a step short of reaching it.

    CONFIDENTIAL.

    The capitalized red ink stares back up at him, silently screaming for his attention. Calling to be seen. Taunting him. Finn’s words reverberate in his mind.

    OR

    Finn can no longer outrun his reality, leaving Noah no choice but to finally confront his fears.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
