    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.

    Summary

    “Keep it down, baby,” he hears Mike whisper. “Don’t want to wake anyone up, do you?”

    Little fucking late for that.

    Or, the worst thing that can happen to Jonathan Byers happens to Jonathan Byers.

    “What?”

    Summary

    For a while it got easier, through brute-force avoidance and then moving across the country, thousands of miles away from anyone who felt like a real person.  

    But then you come back―of course you do―and it’s worse than you could’ve ever imagined, because you’re faced with the reality of it.  

    The reality of Nancy, who says they’ll just have to put off Emerson by a year or two and leaves no room for argument.  Jonathan lives in her house, for fuck’s sake, and he’d be hard-pressed to remember the last time they touched that didn’t involve them both going for the salt shaker at the same time.

    But there are worse things than Nancy.  Something he can no longer avoid.  

    Because he isn’t actually an eternal eleventh grader, coiled and ready to strike in the back alley of every dream Jonathan has had for four years.
