Summary
"Dear Will,
Earlier today, you left. Watching your car drive further and further away hurt way more than I thought it would. The further it went, the more I realized that I didn't take enough advantage of our time together. I should've hugged you tighter, longer. I should’ve initiated more hangouts for just us two."

What if Lucas sent Will a letter while he was away? -

Summary
Lucas almost dropped the walkie-talkie on Max, but held his grip. He stared at it, which was coming to life now quite defiantly, and he carefully held down the talk button.
“C-… Can you repeat that?” he asked shakily, his teeth bordering on chattering. He nearly threw the walkie-talkie up into the air when the voice spoke again. He had no idea who or what it was, but it wasn’t a woman’s voice, nor a young boy’s voice.
“You need to leave, now. Leave now, take your friends, and don’t look back. Don’t come back. Don’t ever think about this place again.”
---
Famed ghost hunters Lucas Sinclair and Dustin Henderson - along with their camerawoman Max Mayfield and girl-in-the-chair Erica Sinclair - head to Hawkins on their latest adventure, to check out the supposedly haunted Creel house. Abandoned since the early nineties, Hawkins presents a challenge none of the four have ever seen, especially as the ghost of a young man appears, explaining he cannot cross over until he can reunite with his lost husband. Who was Mike Wheeler when he was alive? What happened to Will Byers and Jane Hopper? And what really happened in Hawkins for it to become such a ghost town?

Summary
The first time Lucas hears the word queer, he’s eight, sitting in church beside his father and Erica.
They’ve just finished praise singing, and honestly, it’s Lucas’s favorite part. He’s always loved music—how the hums and hymns find their way into his chest when words can’t.
He knows Kathy’s son hasn’t been to church in a while—at least not since Christmas, and that was forever ago. That’s one of the many curses that come with living in a small town: everyone knows everything.
But Kathy still comes and teaches Sunday service, and sometimes she’ll sneak him a peppermint or a butterscotch if he gets a Bible question right. So when the two women sitting in front of him start whispering after Sunday school, he can’t help but listen—since they’ve got her name in their mouth—even if his dad says to stay out of grown folks’ business.<”He doesn’t know what queer means.
But he knows it’s bad.
Something that makes you miss service and has the church ladies gossiping.
or a character study of Lucas Sinclair on growing up, self-expression, expectations, and leaving a small-town mindset behind. -

Summary
“Your eyes,” Lucas began, squinting into the hardened gaze. There was a flickered emotion he couldn’t read during the pause, “they’re a darker blue than Max’s. I never noticed.”
Dustin stared back. Lucas blinked first, because of course he did. Dustin had always had a staring problem—some things never change.
“Yeah, I know.” Dustin responded. To what, Lucas didn’t know. Dustin seemed to always know everything. He was sharp. So sharp .
Before he knew what was happening, Lucas was leaning into Dustin, eyes trained on his friend’s lips.

Summary
"Max listened to the hum of the city below her, pulsating beneath her feet. She could hear an arguing couple two blocks away, she could smell the street food from the vendor on 39th, and she could feel the rain slowly permeating the part of her face exposed under her mask. When she stood here, she often felt as though she and the city became one for a brief, if fleeting, moment. If she really concentrated, it was like her entire life melted away around her and she fused with the energy of the streets below. She was in the lights that illuminated the corner of 52nd street, she was in the breeze that wafted through the park on 10th Ave, she was in the tracks of the subway that rhythmically thundered under the stress of the carriages travelling along its lengths. She was everywhere and she was everything, and if only for that one moment she could be at peace, then she was okay with that. Because while her sight was gone, her other senses now ensured that no one could hide from her justice. The nuns used to say, "The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away", and she was inclined to agree. After all, There are other ways to see..."

Summary
Once they’re both out in the driveway with the garage lights turned on, Mike looks significantly at the ball, then at the hoop, then at the ball again.
“What,” Lucas asks, “you just want to stand there and watch me shoot or something?”
Mike rolls his eyes. “I thought we could, y’know. Play.”
“You want to play basketball,” Lucas says, very slowly, because he happens to know that there’s very little in this world or the Upside Down that Mike Wheeler hates more than sports, up to and including as metaphors, “with me?”
“Jesus,” Mike grumbles, “yes, am I speaking Spanish over here?”
(or, mike's bad at basketball and apologies, but he's still trying his hand at both.)

Summary
He tried very hard not to lean away when Mike leaned in. Why were they sitting like this, completely pressed together from shoulder to knee? Their entire sides were touching, and the strange contact was enough to sufficiently distract him. Especially when Mike laid a hand on his thigh, what the fuck.
“Hey," Mike whispered, lips almost brushing his ear. “You okay? You seem… not yourself." Yeah, no shit! Because he was Lucas, not Will!
___
Lucas and Will get bodyswapped. Mike, not knowing that, decides to confront Will about the painting. Confusion ensues. -

The reminder that he can’t keep up, that he can’t be one of the cool kids, stings.
He’s no Steve Harrington. He’s just Lucas. He’s a nerd, a loser, a nobody.
He can’t stand it, suddenly.
“Don’t tell,” he begs, looking up at her in time to see her eyebrows knit together in concern. “Don’t— Don’t tell anyone I couldn’t be cool.”
Lucas finds himself struggling at the post-championship game party.

Lucas couldn't leave Max's hospital room. He stayed with her during the day and he slept in one of the uncomfortable chairs next to her. No one could get him to leave, not his parents, not his friends, and not even the nurses.
