    Summary

    Two weeks into summer break, Mike finds Will's diary.

    And steals it.

    And from one day to another the line between Will and Diary-Will starts to blur. With one thing in common: they are both madly, deeply in love with Mike. But only one of them hides it.

    Summary

    Will Byers lives a quiet, solitary life as a children's book illustrator, helping bring other people's stories to life—fixing lonely trees, drawing impossible worlds, and leaving pieces of himself on pages no one will ever know he touched.

    Then, one cold night, he finds a stranger collapsed outside his apartment building. A young man who can't speak, pale, exhausted, and little more than skin and bones.

    Will only means to offer him a warm place to sleep. A meal. A shower. A few days to recover.

    He doesn't expect Mike to stay. He doesn't expect to learn how to understand him without words. And he certainly doesn't expect the silent stranger in his home to become part of the story Will has been trying to remember his entire life.

    Summary

    Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”

    Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”

    Senior year in Hawkins. Will and Mike figure some things out.

    Summary

    The summer after graduation, three years after the barely-averted end of the world, six teenagers drive an elderly minivan halfway across the continental United States. It goes better than you might expect, considering the circumstances.

    Or: Will Byers comes of age.

    Summary

    “You’re insane! I can’t just write something as obvious as that. What if he figures out it’s me?”

    ”Um, then you get a super-cute boyfriend who you’ve been in love with for, like, as long as you’ve known him?” Vickie blinked at him, arms crossed over her lanyard. “I don’t understand the issue, why don’t you just… tell him?”

    ”The issue is that he could hear me, Vick.” Mike emphasised. “He could hear me, and realise I’m actually a loser, and ride away on the back of that dumb jock’s motorcycle-”

    “C’mon, Mike,” Vickie interrupted his rambling with a teasing sing-song tone, bunny teeth glinting past her pink lips. “Valentines is a day for the brave. Besides, what’s the worst that could happen?”

    Or, four times Mike Wheeler sends the cute art teacher a candy-gram for Valentine’s Day, and the one time he doesn’t need to.
