Summary
While training for the apocalypse and mastering the plan against Vecna, several important conversations take place at the Squawk. These conversations stir up something in Mike and Will they'd been carefully avoiding, and it's up to them whether they let the silence swallow the truth or face it for the first time. Strange as it is, Vecna seems to be more concerned with the truth than they are.

Summary
Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.
And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.
OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

Summary
The year is 1999; a decade after the Party’s graduation and dissolution. Will Byers has travelled far from his hometown of Hawkins, running from his past whilst chasing the future. Now living in the cultural heart of Montreal, he has carved out success as an artist and illustrator, but finds himself devoid of everything that made him truly happy.
Socially isolated and haunted by ghosts, he takes life one day at a time. On a whim, he asks about the most influential of these ghosts—the man he once called his best friend. Expecting nothing, he is caught off guard when his inquiries lead him down a path he never could have predicted.

Summary
“Is this weird?”
Will frowns. “What?”
“I don’t know, I’m just— every time we—” he stops when Will pulls his hand away by his wrist and resumes dabbing his lip. He doesn’t think twice when he brings the tissue to his mouth to make use of his own saliva, and Mike doesn’t question him either. “I can’t be normal around you anymore.”
Will delicately cleans him up, eyes calm and steady, voice comfortably quiet. “I’m not asking you to be.”
Or: In the November morning light, everything has changed. Mike and Will try to figure out who they really are, what they really want, and how much they really need each other before they lose their minds—but, if they’re honest, that might just be the fun part.
