    Summary

    It’s September 1989, baby.

    Mike Wheeler and Will Byers finally leave Hawkins for NYU: Will for art, Mike for biology on a pre-med track he swears is a “compromise.”
    New York was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead it turns their “friends—no, thanks—best friends” truce into something impossible to ignore.

    Set during the AIDS crisis.
    Because you don’t get to be queer in New York in 1989 without it in the room.
    But they’re going to be okay. Promise.
