Summary
After years of running from past mistakes, trauma, and the life he left behind, Will has finally settled. He’s found his purpose as an art teacher at a group home for troubled kids, and he’s starting to believe he can actually cauterize his own wounds by tending to the fresh ones of others.
But as he starts his second year - the new creative writing teacher helps him realize you can’t grow new flowers when your roots are still displaced.
Or: An entire school year in which Mike and Will rediscover themselves and their relationship after 8 years no contact, bonding over their shared love for the sweetest children with familiar, painful histories.
"Every time I make you cry, it starts raining," Mike states quietly. His voice is barely audible over the roaring downpour, but it cuts through the thunder like a blade.
"Only the times you've witnessed," Will says in return, his voice barely a whisper.

Summary
Two years after his husband’s death, Mike Wheeler lives quietly in a cliffside mansion with his eight year old daughter and more ghosts than he knows what to do with. He doesn’t talk about the past.
Will Byers isn’t looking for love when he takes the live-in cook job at Rosecliff Manor. He's just trying to start over in a new town, with a new job and with the walls carefully built around his heart.
Living under the same roof wasn’t supposed to mean anything.
But grief recognizes grief.
And sometimes healing looks a lot like falling in love.

Summary
Will can’t allow himself the luxury of a wet dream tonight, so he wills for Mike to stop moving.
Mike does not stop moving.
Will frowns, mustering up more focus, sharpening his control.
Mike still doesn’t stop, but he lets out an annoyed whine. “What’s fucking tugging at me right now?”
What.
“I’m—trying to stop you. Stop.” Will’s voice comes out warped and distant, unused to being spoken out loud in the dreamscape.
Mike stops moving, as instructed, breathing heavily against Will’s open mouth. “Why? Isn’t this—isn’t this just a dream? Come on.”
Huh?!
What is Will’s subconscious trying to achieve right now?—or—
Will's powers have been acting up lately, thanks to the stress of college and a part time job.
He finds solace in his usual lucid dreams. Except, suddenly — they get clearer. More vivid. More out of control.
Will assumes it’s just his subconscious working through some very obvious problems.
Mike assumes he’s just having weird sex dreams about his best friend because he’s stressed and pent-up.Neither of them realizes they’re sharing them.
