Summary
Over Christmas break, Will comes out to his friends a few months into their first year of college. After some time apart, Mike can hardly believe the person standing in front of him is the same shy, lifelong best friend he’s known since kindergarten. Will has grown into himself away from Hawkins, surrounded by studios and artists and people who seem to see him for who he truly is.
Maybe if they’d gone to the same college, the change wouldn’t feel so stark. Maybe it would’ve happened slowly, together. How did Mike miss the most important months of his best friend’s life—and even more pressing, why didn’t Will come out to him first?
While Will and the others seem to be thriving, Mike feels stuck in dreary Seattle, studying something safe and going nowhere. He’s happy for them, truly. So why does it feel like he’s being left behind?
_______________Or, Will comes out to his friends, and Mike can no longer ignore the colossal mistake that is his choice of major—entirely unrelated to Will’s sexuality, of course.

Summary
In the quiet corners of Hawkins’ video store, Nancy Wheeler and Robin Buckley find themselves orbiting each other, caught between teasing familiarity and unspoken feelings. What starts as wary acquaintance after a tense misunderstanding slowly unfolds into something warmer: shared jokes, secret movie recommendations, and accidental touches that linger just a moment too long.
As they navigate the everyday chaos of work, school, and their own insecurities, Nancy and Robin discover that friendship can be as thrilling—and terrifying—as love. Each glance, each small gesture draws them closer, until the line between friendship and something more begins to blur.- Language:

Summary
"I had this crush on someone, even though I know— I know they're not like me."
Will was looking right at him when he said that. That was surely intentional, wasn't it? But if it was targeted to him, that would've confirmed Mike's biggest fear: he was too late.
Mike's stomach dropped. All of those years. All of those moments. He wasn't reading too much into them after all, they both were just too scared to initiate anything.
And Will took it as a sign of disinterest.
——————
Or: What if Mike Wheeler connected the dots on who Will's "Tammy" was? More importantly, what if this caused him to question Will's painting just a little bit more?

Summary
“I’m serious, though,” he says, and when he glances up, Mike’s already staring back at him, brown eyes imploring into hazel. Insistent. “We should do it. For real.”
Will’s breath catches at the way it feels like he can see right through him, and he swallows hard at how sincere he sounds, even if he doubts the idea will ever get off the ground, if he figures that Mike will forget about it in a day or two. “Where would we even go?” Will says, humoring him.
“California,” Mike answers, like it’s obvious.
OR: Mike and Will recreate their perfect spring break by taking a road trip to California.
