    Summary

    It was good to be the guy who made things happen, who didn’t pass through life without touching or changing anything around him. That was the problem with his parents. They’d done everything that had been expected of them and gotten the big prize: marriage, a good income, a nice house, kids. And neither of them seemed happy. Nate wasn’t sure when his mother had started existing in a cloud of irritation, or when his father’s calm demeanor had turned apathetic. Maybe they’d always been that way, and he’d been too young to see it.

    But Nate was going to make plans. He was going to push himself to the limit, making his body stronger and more efficient on the track, and his mind sharper and tougher everywhere else. He was going to run, although he wasn’t sure where yet.

    Nate Wheeler, the brains of Steve Harrington's clique, thinks he has everything figured out. Then Joanna Byers, the weirdest girl at Hawkins High (or possibly anywhere), comes into his life.

    Summary

    “Don’t you remember?” Lucas asked softly. “When we were kids? Like, sixth grade. We all said we’d be in each other’s weddings.” He chuckled. “And Mike called dibs on being my best man, and then you and Dustin started freaking out, because you were both gonna call dibs, so I said you could all do it. Remember? I need all my best men.”

    Will puffed out his cheeks, running a hand through his hair. He already hadn’t lived up to that twice now. He’d missed Dustin’s wedding, he hadn’t even been invited to Mike’s (not that he’d expected to be.) This was his last shot.

    And something about it seemed final. If he missed this, then that was it. He had no doubt they’d still try to reach out, but it wouldn’t be the same. He would’ve broken something he couldn’t fix.

    He sighed.

    “Okay.”

     

    Ten years after the end of the world, Lucas and Max get married.

    It's a mess.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    Theo Raeken has always been… something. Cocksure. Abrasive. Infuriatingly talented. Just insurmountable amounts of ego packaged into one, admittedly attractive man. Not that unusual, in their line of work.

    Unfortunately though, Liam’s had to deal with his bullshit for years. Being one of the best means you have to deal with the best, and despite all his posturing and the general consensus that everything that tumbles out of Theo’s mouth is just utter shit, he is the best the navy has to offer.

    (or, alternatively: Liam realises that Theo has the emotional maturity of a pre-teen boy on a playground, and that he has spent the last ten years pulling pig-tails instead of expressing real, human emotions.)
