    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.

    Summary

    “Did you not hear me earlier?” Will asked his voice low in Mike’s ear, “I said that you look fucking hot.”

    Mike lets out a shaky breath at the sound of Will’s voice, “you think?” Mike responded weakly, this behavior was completely new to Mike, this wasn’t confident New York Will anymore, this was different. And Mike liked it, maybe too much.

    “So fucking hot Mike” Will responded hands sliding down Mike’s waist casually, as if this was just something that happened, something that they did often, “you don’t want other guys hitting on you?” Will mused “talking to you like how I am right now?”

    “I uh—” Mike stuttered. “I don’t know.”

    Except Mike did know, Mike knew he only wanted Will in his ear like this, Mike knew that whatever was happening right now was specific to Will, Mike knew all of it. Yet he chose to pretend.

    “It’s fine if you don’t” Will said “but I’m just letting you know it’s gonna happen” Will shuffles slightly to Mike’s side, resting his head onto the upper part of Mike’s left arm, “you’re eye candy Mike, it’s bound to happen.”

    Summary

    The Winter of 1988.

    After Vecna's defeat and the closing of the gates, it felt like the entire town was just trying to move on. They aimed to lead normal suburban lives, which seemed utterly ridiculous, to be honest. There were otherworldly monsters, a man with burnt flesh, and children with superpowers. But sure, let’s just pretend everything is back to normal.

    Surprisingly, most people managed to cope fairly well! Whether it was due to an unhealthy amount of denial or sheer willpower to move on, a large part of Hawkins did, in fact, manage to return to their usual lives.

    As for the party... well, they faced a more challenging time adjusting. No matter how much they wanted to return to the way things were, they simply couldn’t. They had seen too much, lost too much, and suffered too much. But they were trying.

    …

    “It’s snowing!” El exclaimed, peeking out the window at the fluffy white blanket covering the front lawn.
