Summary
After Will Byers returns to Hawkins after living in California for five years, his life turns upside down. Going back to his past life — a life he thought was long gone — comes with great struggle Will tries to convince everyone (himself included) it’s just some seasonal depression that’s going to wear off once fall is over.
Turns out it’s anything but a seasonal depression, as Will begins to feel like he’s going insane — feeling like he’s haunted by the ghost of his past, struggling to eat anything as food looks like poison, and with a good night’s sleep becoming a thing of the past.
And it certainly doesn’t help that Mike Wheeler keeps staring at him from across the hallway like a creep. He keeps staring instead of talking to Will, instead of making things right after ghosting him years ago.
Because despite once being inseparable, now Will sees Mike as nothing but a cowardly stranger, who didn’t have the guts to write him one last letter saying he didn’t want to keep in touch anymore. Or at least that’s Will’s point of view.
TW. viewer discretion is advised, this work is a tough read that gets emotional and violent at times. please stop reading if it is too much for you.

Summary
The radio static rang out through the silence.
Mike took a deep breath, running his hands over his knees before he spoke into the device. “Hey Will, it’s Mike.” His finger came off the button, letting the static fill the air again. “I know this is stupid and stuff because you’re dead. But I think this is also therapeutic for me, at least."
Or: Will Byers has been missing since November 6th 1983. Since then, his friends have fought monsters, bullies and government agencies. Will had been assumed dead for years, but when Hawkins faces a new threat they might just be brought back together.

Summary
Will tried to fight the words, tried to push them down, but they were like a wave crashing against a wall, relentless and unstoppable.
Finally, they burst from his lips in a ragged gasp, the sound of a man surrendering to a desire he'd held suppressed for so long.
"I want him..." he whispered, the words almost a sob.
Or: Will is torn between believing love to be a weakness or a strength. Along the way, he discovers that it can be both.
