Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.
OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)

Summary
Back in Lenora, Will Byers meets someone who chases him first. Unfortunately, he’s already in love with his best friend and the world might be ending… again.
This story contains:
- flirting like it's a competitive sport
- music, art, and the stubborn belief they might keep you alive
- queer love in all its messy glory
- supernatural and psychological horror
- extremely questionable decision making
- and a group of teenagers who should be saving Hawkins but can't stop making out with each other instead.Vecna feeds on shame.
Which is a terrible strategy when the resistance is queer.
