Summary
Eurylochus is still grieving Polites, his death still h(a)unting him. One day, the splashes in the water are way too familiar to ignore. Headbands, waves, sunrises, and romance all come together on a slowly draining hourglass.

Summary
The kingdom of Hawkins had been split in two since history remembered well enough to recount, and it had nothing to do with the acre-stretching cracks in the ground.
Humans had always been at odds with creatures. A Cold War between magic and normalcy, waged by the powerful, in the north of the kingdom where their monarchy stood.
The world was beginning to change around them. Magic was no longer just scorned on the streets, but a punishable offence - creatures of all kinds were being arrested, and his sister - El, the most powerful mage he had ever known - was missing.
Enemy of the crown, picture of the rebellion and desperate for a miracle Will Byers, on the adventure for a prophecy. To find his sister. He had more than just his powers to guide him - he had a plan.
… a plan which definitely did not account for Mike Wheeler.

Summary
Mike's life is split in three categories; the life he should have, the life he wants to have, and the life he has to have. Currently, he's living in limbo between all three; he'll never have that white-picket fence and suburban wife, not when the only girl he could try to love has left him, and while he's finding it harder to live the life he has to have— the life where he hides himself so deep, not even the people he loves know who he is— he'll never get the life he wants, either.
Limbo sucks, to put it simply. He's so close to what he wants (which is Will, no matter how hard he tries to shove it down) but he just can't push past that barrier and talk to Will, not when everything he does always feels wrong.
But, maybe, Mike might come to learn that what he wants isn’t so bad, after all.
(Or; Mike's struggle with his internalized homophobia— among other things, including the concept of free will, Robin Buckley's mildly terrifying presence, and wanting things Mike's sure he doesn't deserve— structured around the five stages of grief. You can mourn a life you'll never live, and you can mourn someone you haven't actually lost.)

Summary
"Children, children, CHILDREN!" Murray finally snapped, pinching the bridge of his nose. The three of them shut up and looked at him in shock. "Enough of this pointless, childish bickering already. If I wanted to watch drama like this I would turn on a soap opera or telenovela. My god, do I have to play therapist to EVERYONE in this group?? I could sue you all for emotional compensation!"
Mike started to argue. He didn't know what he was going to say, exactly, but he was still pent up and Murray seemed like a better target than his two best friends. Unfortunately he didn't get very far.
"Ba-ba-ba! NO. Shut up and SIT DOWN. It's my turn to talk," Murray said forcefully, shoving the three of them onto the couch, with Mike somehow ending up in the middle.
"Oh no," Jonathan said under his breath.
"Shit," Nancy said at the same time.
Joyce hurried forward and stepped in between them. "Murray, Murray, no," she pleaded. "I know what you're doing, STOP."
Or: Murray meddles, Mike is hella confused, the world is ending, and Will won't talk to him.
OR: Mike runs away from his feelings and then for his actual, literal life.

Summary
Pete lets his head fall back against his seat with a dull thunk, the kind of sound that barely exists out of exhaustion. The vibration hums through the car frame, steady and low, like it’s trying to remind him the world’s still here. For a fleeting moment, his vision sharpens- past the rain-smeared windshield, into the parking lot, and he can even make out the faint blue of the best buy sign in the distance. He almost laughs, something small and broken twitching at the corners of his mouth. Then, with that ghost of a smile, his eyes flutter closed.
And the night swallows him whole.

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.
