Summary
"There's no emotion in it, okay? If I can't imagine the singer broken down sobbing, it doesn't work for me."
El stares at him in blank disapproval. "What are you talking about?"
"It sounds too polished." Will shrugs.
"No, it does not. There is a very clear longing. Even in the happy songs, it's obvious he's missing something."
Will rolls his eyes. She doesn't know what she's talking about. She doesn't know what longing truly feels like. Not like he does.
Or,
At a concert his step-sister has dragged him to, Will comes face-to-face with a piece from his past.

Summary
"No better time to face our issues than the best night of the year."
"After we were banned from trick or treating it stopped being the best night of the year."
"Then what's the best night of the year now?"
"Any night I'm with you," Mike says, looking down at him adoringly.
Will smiles, feeling his cheeks go warm. "What a coincidence, that's tonight."
Or,
Halloween, 1987; Will encourages Mike to finally tell the last member of the party that he's gay. When they get around the party for a fun little night, Will holds back from telling them himself as Mike makes his own decision.

Summary
"Mike!" Will repeats, more forcefully. "You're not letting me talk."
"Sorry, I just– you're alive," he states again, breathlessly.
"I'm... I'm not alive."
Mike freezes, stunned. "What? Will, what does that mean?"
Or,
A week ago, William Byers went missing. 24 hours ago, Mike's mother told him they found his body. But right now, at 10pm on the road to his best friend's house, Will is standing there, in the same clothes Mike last saw in him. Right there, his Will, talking to him and hugging him even when his funeral is in four days.
A story of grief, guilt, and ghosts.

Summary
"Jonathan is right about spending lots of time at our house though. I think I only woke up once this week without you snoring in my ear."
Mike shrugs. "It's summer, of course I'm gonna be with you. We've seen the party basically every day or two too and he's not complaining about that. It's easier if we're just already together."
"Yeah, totally practical. No other reason," Will says with mock seriousness.
"We don't talk about that," Mike whispers, waving dismissively.
Or,
July 4th, 1987; Mike continues to be head over heels for Will with the new security of being able to express that. But when the group of upside-down survivors go up to a small cabin together, he comes closer to telling them, especially since Will found the courage to.

Summary
"So are we just gonna watch them have fun or something?"
"You invited me," Will remarks, glancing out into the forest past the egg hunt field. He vaguely remembers a year when they didn't participate at all.
"Yeah, well, if I didn't I'd be standing here awkwardly alone, instead we can be awkward together."
Will trades his sketchbook into his other hand so he can grab Mike's hand again. "I have another idea."
Or,
Easter, 1987; Will is feeling the happiest he has been in ages, thanks to a new immeasurable amount of hope. When he and Mike go off alone, he tries to find the courage to say what he's wanted for years.
