Summary
The look on El’s face is devastating. She looks defeated. He remembers what she said about Brenner telling her she wasn’t ready. He knows she blames herself.
He tries to talk to her when they get to his house. After they have their reunions, Mike pulls El aside, but she only wants to go to the hospital, to see Max, and she won’t talk to him about anything else.
They still haven’t talked about their fight in California. Mike knows he needs to say something about what he said at the pizza parlor. Saying ‘I love you.’ It didn’t work. It wasn’t enough. He’s pretty sure it didn’t save their relationship, and he’s even more sure that it didn’t save El. She did that herself.
They’ve fought Vecna, but what comes next? Filling in the scenes I felt were missing from season four.

Summary
"Mike, truth or dare?" Max asks.
Mike feels more than a little nervous. Max's dares can be pretty brutal, but her truths are worse, and Mike is wary of giving her ammunition. He takes a steadying swig of his beer and sits up straight even if his palms are a little sweaty.
"Dare," he says.
He’s not expecting it when instantly, she says,
“I dare you to kiss Will.”
Mike chokes on his beer. He starts coughing hard, and someone thumps him on the back, but Mike doesn’t even really notice. He stares at Max with wide eyes, shocked.
“W- What?” he gasps.or;
A mostly-innocent dare from Max turns Mike's world upside down.

Summary
Will never expected to have an exciting love life. Or a love life at all. He never thought anyone could see him in that way.
He ended up being incredibly wrong.
Will Byers didn’t like girls. He used to think he was just a late bloomer, but as he grew older and the sparks licked into flames, it was painfully clear to Will that he did have feelings for people. Just not girls. And that the little somersaults his heart would do when he glanced at his best friend were NOT as normal as he'd once thought.
-
A list of Will Byers' romantic experiences, ranging from ages thirteen to eighteen. In California and Hawkins alike.

Summary
Murray can extrapolate every hidden desire - but it's especially easy this time. These kids are just so Goddamn obvious that it's painful to leave it to fester. So he works his magic - no need to thank him; no, really.
*
Set two years after Vecna - and a fake season 5. Includes Will's newest friend - and Mike is far from happy about that, of course.
