    Summary

    Months after the gates and the earthquakes, Hawkins does what Hawkins always does: slaps on fresh paint, and pretends the world isn’t still cracked underneath. Joyce Byers joins the new community church for intel, not salvation. Rumor says the military boys who “saved” the town are cozy with Pastor Ross, and Joyce wants eyes on anyone still watching El. When the children’s wing needs a mural, she drags Will along. There, Will meets Chance Lawson: quiet church golden boy, Hawkins High basketball, more follower than leader, but raised on Satanic Panic and Jason Carver’s ghost. To him, “zombie boy” and Hellfire are exactly what the sermons warned about.

    Summary

    It’s fall 1987, and Will Byers is finally getting a little freedom, stage crew, art electives, and solo trips to the local craft store. A “possessed” shopping cart and a stack of poster boards throw him literally into the path of Chance, a Hawkins High basketball player stuck making pep rally banners he has no idea how to design. Between paint aisles, gym banners, and glow-in-the-dark stars for Jane’s ceiling, Will finds himself pulled into a slow, unexpected orbit with the last person he ever thought would notice him. No monsters, no Upside Down just one very human, very confusing crush slowly taking shape.

    Summary

    This is the moment that Boris chooses to roll over, murmuring some Ukrainian nonsense—Ya lyublyu tebe, ty ebut, Theo gathers, but he doesn’t know what it means.

    He doesn’t have the opportunity to try and translate it, either; Boris’s arm reaches out and closes over Theo’s torso. He pulls him, shifting forward himself, still muttering (though now it sounds Polish).

    or: boris and theo talk about emotions

    Summary

    Seeing him here, in New York, surrounded by the deep browns and golds of Hobart and Blackwell, is so alien to me I have to repress the urge to pinch myself like a child would after a dream. It looks incorrect, him standing here. Like someone has taken a pair of scissors to my memories of him, cut him out of his rightful place on the abandoned playground, and pasted him sloppily into a corner of my life where he doesn’t belong. Has it only been a few weeks? It feels like ages longer, like it’s been a decade, like we’re different people trying to see what exactly we liked about each other so much way back when.

    But then he says it again- “Potter.”- and that feeling vanishes as quickly as it arrived.

    “You came,” I say dumbly.

    He gives a cheery smirk that I don’t believe. “Promised I would.”
