    Summary

    “Daddy, wake up,” she pleaded. “You’re having a bad dream. Please wake up.”

    Will’s head turned then, slowly, and it was hard for Rose to understand how he still couldn’t actually see her, when it felt like he was staring straight through her eyes and directly to the back of her skull. “Rose,” he rasped, and her blood crystallized in her veins. This was not her father’s honey-sweet voice. It sounded like gravel running through a rock tumbler. And he never, ever called her just Rose, unless she was in big trouble. “You need to run. NOW.”

    --------------------

    Five-year-old Rose Maldonado is not afraid of anything. Until one night in early November when she stumbles upon her sleepwalking father having a horrible nightmare, and her parents realize it might be time to start telling their daughter the truth about what happened to them back in November 1983.

    (ft. an extensive flashback of elmike platonic besties addressing the total bs final battle in a way that turns it into byler proof, because screw the duffers!!!!! you're in MY house now!!!!!!!!!)

    Summary

    Mike takes another sip, and he does not grimace. “No, no, I like it. It’s good.”

    “Liar, liar, pants on fire,” Will singsongs, small hands around R2D2. He takes a sip of his own and shrugs, picking his fork back up to spear a bite of pancake. “It grows on you.”

    Mike takes another sip and wrinkles his nose.

    “It doesn’t have to grow on me. I already like it.”

    OR

    Mike knows the way Will takes his coffee. Always has, since they were kids. He doesn’t know why, exactly, he couldn’t tell you that information about any of his other friends. Coffee and contemplation and reconnection and something Mike couldn’t put a name to if he tried.

    Summary

    “I have a more important question,” Will says. “Um, why did the cleric have to be in love with the paladin?”
    All eyes fall on Mike, the dungeon master.

    (Turns out, it actually was all just a longwinded campaign of Dungeons & Dragons. Naturally, the party has some concerns about Mike.)

    Summary

    "Dustin?!" Steve exclaims, startling the younger boy who promptly falls onto the ground.
    "Steve?! What the hell are you doing here?!" Dustin blinks hard as if his own eyes are betraying him.
    "I could ask you the same thing!!" Steve replies.
    "I was just.." Dustin starts while Steve's eyes drift up to the window above their heads lined with purple curtains.
    "Youre here to see Jane!" Steve gasps.

    Or: Steve goes to sneak into Jonathan's room when he finds Dustin trying to sneak into El's.
