   Summary

   El is gone and his other friends are in college or out in the world exploring and Mike is still at home. Things change as time passes, but other than looking a little older, his friends are still themselves. Mike wouldn't have it any other way.

   They're all getting together for a summer reunion at Robin's Uncle's Mansion, who may or may not be a serial killer. Maybe.

   Oh, and Will Byers is gay.

   He should probably figure out why he can't stop thinking about it.
