    Summary

    “You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”

    “It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”

    Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

    Summary

    “I wanted to kiss you.”

    Will gasps softly.

    Mike doesn’t think he’s ever felt this close to someone else in his entire life, and they’re only connected by a single touch.

    “Will.” It’s pitch black. It’s daylight. “I wanted to.”

    Mike has a dream about kissing Will. He wakes up from it. Will notices.

    Title based on Taylor Swift’s “Daylight”

    Summary

    Will pondered his words, in silence.

    Something more.
    Like me.

    His face was now properly on fire, or at least it sure felt like it.
    “You mean…”
    Eddie made an annoyed noise and turned around with determination.

    “I thought Mike was into you. You know, he liked boys and stuff. Like me.”

    Now, Will considered himself to be at least a little brave. He had survived in an alternate dimension, fought a supernatural entity that possessed him and monsters. But in that moment, Eddie freaking Munson was the most fearless person in the world to him

    Will Byers comes back to Indiana for spring break. Eddie Munson has some thoughts.

    Summary

    Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.

    It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.

    Fantastic.
