   Summary

   Approaching the end of his time at NYU, Will Byers is a mess. It wasn't supposed to look like this, wasn't supposed to hurt like this. The life that he crafted from his dreams has splintered apart, leaving him coasting towards a future that he doesn't know.

   Mike Wheeler knew little outside his life with Will in the city, until the past seven months forced it on him. He's been building himself back up, though it may never feel the same.
