    Summary

    Wilson Webber can win awards, carry dramas, and convince an audience of almost anything.
    Apparently, love is where Hollywood draws the line.

    With no public relationships to his name and his first romantic lead already being picked apart online, Wilson has enough to worry about before anyone mentions his Save the Date costar, Brando Copeland.

    Especially because Brando has recently started telling people they barely know each other, which would be easier to believe if Wilson hadn’t once been in love with him.

    And when Hollywood decides the best way to prove Wilson can be someone’s romantic lead is to manufacture a relationship for the cameras, pretending becomes a lot harder than either of them expected.

    Summary

    Richie was another business entirely; loud, brash and crude, but painfully funny, looking at Will’s neutral expression and taking it as a challenge, trying to make him laugh until he puked. Messing up his hair and begging him to just let Richie go to town on it with some kitchen scissors. Poking his sides, or pinching his cheeks with an inflammatory remark right on the tip of his tongue, every time. Calling their campaigns ‘nerd shit-’ but sitting in on their session, attentive to every single action taken, with colorful running commentary during it all. Being with Richie feels like fireworks are bursting right under his skin.

    The melancholy and brevity of a summer romance does not make the time it happened any less bright.

    Summary

    While talking to Will in the shed, trying to break through the Mind Flayer's control, Mike starts thinking about what he would do if Will gave up, and completely unintentionally blurts, "I love you." Mike's existential crisis follows. Meanwhile, Will uses the words as his anchor, holding onto this glimmer of hope with all his might as he struggles to hang on against the Mind Flayer.

    Basically, a more Mike/Will-centric version of episodes 8 and 9 and the time beyond, with a good dose of of grit and Serious Stuff but also plenty of happiness and some fluff to come. (I mean, come on - Will is a gay kid in the 80s who just craves love and acceptance, and he deserves A Break. Mike is just realizing he's bisexual and he needs some love and acceptance and A Break too.)

    Summary

    Will had something for Nico long before he ever did anything about it. In fact, he didn't even have a word for what it was.

    Summary

    “And then you just left?” Jason asked incredulously, shoveling pancakes into his mouth as Nico recounted the events of the night before. “You didn't even get his phone number?”
    “Well, I didn't have much of a choice, you were there, and drunk, and basically falling out of the car, it was a safety precaution, really,” Nico lamented.
