Summary
This book is an intimate retelling of the events following the renowned 1970s rock band Sorcerer & The Six's rise to fame—and their abrupt split while on tour in Chicago on July 12, 1979. From the humble beginnings of the Brave Brothers and Will Byers to their legendary run at the top of the charts, their career as a band was short-lived compare to the mark they left behind on rock ‘n’ roll.
Lead vocalist Will Byers and frontman Mike Wheeler exploded on the stage with a messy, kaleidoscopic bang. The bandmates, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, and Max Mayfield, as well as band photographer and creative director Jane Hopper, were among the collateral.
This story aims for a literary approach, but in it lies the truth. As deceptive as the most famous among us can be, they cannot hide from themselves as we travel back to 1972 and follow Sorcerer & The Six all the way to their inevitable end in 1979.Or;
A Stranger Things/Daisy Jones & The Six AU. Love, lust, and loss work in tandem as they come to terms with their overwhelming fame. Whether it be a moment tucked in the privacy of a hotel room or happening in front of tens of thousands of fans on stage, you see it all.

Summary
Will Byers loves Mike Wheeler.
It shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course he loves Mike. He always has. But it’s never felt like this. It’s never hurt to think about it, but it also never felt like a revelation rather than a fact. It hurts, and there’s nothing he can do to ease the pain. He looks across the room at Mike and all he sees is beauty where minutes ago he only saw his best friend. He notices entire constellations in the freckles strewn across his nose, stars glittering in his eyes, and it all seems inevitable. He loves Mike. He loves him and it’s a foregone conclusion, a wish on a shooting star destined to burn out. He loves him and he can’t ever have him, not in that way, and there’s nothing in the world that can ever hurt him again quite like this.
OR: When the party dares Mike to tell someone he loves them for one hundred days, Will doesn't expect to be the unlucky recipient. He definitely doesn't expect it to consume his last three months in Hawkins. But like most things in his life, absolutely nothing goes to plan.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.
Will Byers was never found Au

Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.
He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

Bookmarker's Notes
I remember reading this while waiting/watching the Artemis II land back in April, and I find myself thinking about it quite a bit. The writing was beautiful and I really enjoyed the story!
