Summary
She almost has it. Just past Mari and then onto her feet and Coach will never be able to catch her.
Mari grabs Shauna’s injured wrist and twists. Pain explodes across Shauna’s arm and a yelp scrapes itself from her throat as she falls on top of Mari.
By the time the pain fades enough for Shauna to remember to move, there’s a noose around her neck, pulled taut. Mari lies underneath her with wide-eyes and shallow cuts sliced across her cheeks. Her clothes are caked with dirt and ragged and her hand rests overtop of the bone of Shauna’s wrist, like she’s preparing herself to twist again.
“Holy shit Shauna,” she says, out of breath, “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
The pit makes a bad day worse for Shauna. Or maybe that’s just Mari. (canon compliant up until the end of 3x2)

Summary
Lottie twists then, dark hair sliding over her shoulders and suddenly Shauna is sixteen again in the pressing heat of August, watching Lottie wade into the waters of Marlu Lake. She wore her hair up then and had smiled brighter than the sun bearing down on them as she’d called out for Shauna to join her.
“You said anything,” the Lottie of here and now says severely. Frail in a way that’s been beaten into all of their bones since the start of winter.
Shauna had. Shauna will. Shauna has to.
The Shauna of sixteen is long gone. As relevant to the here and now as her Brown acceptance letter, stashed away in some drawer back home.

Summary
Sarah’s first thought upon entering the room is only for the way Katherine’s loosened hair spreads across Sarah’s pillow in an array of red and auburn.
Her second thought is that Katherine is lying in Sarah’s bed.
She knew that was going to happen. She was the one who suggested it. It’s just that no amount of knowing and anticipating could’ve prepared her for the sight of Katherine wrapped in the same blanket that Sarah has been sleeping underneath for years. Nothing could have prepared her for Katherine, sick in her bed, eyes drooping with sleepiness.
When Katherine falls sick, Sarah takes it upon herself to look after her.

Summary
“You know, every New Year’s since I was a kid, I’d always make a big long list of all my resolutions for the next year,” Misty says soft as the snow gently falling outside, “but when I laid out the piece of paper this time I just…” she trails off, plastering a half-hearted smile to her face, “I couldn’t figure out what to put down,” she says finally, playing it off like a joke. It doesn’t land.
Nat’s throat tightens, blocking the air clawing its way up her throat. She gets it. She really really does.
Eighteen-year-old Nat had never expected to make it this far. Hell, the Nat from a few months ago had never thought she’d live to see the end of the year. She hadn’t wanted to live to see the end of the year. The future is muddled and blurry, with no clear picture of what to expect. She’d given up on New Year’s resolutions by the time she was twelve. There was no use in planning for the future when nothing ever went as expected for her.
And yet… Nat is forty-two. She’s alive and breathing. Maybe Lottie’s cult teachings rubbed off on her more than she thought they did. Maybe… maybe she can let herself hope.
New Year’s Eve 2021. Nat and Misty meet up to talk.

Summary
Finally, a small warble of a voice echoes through the room, “I don’t know what to draw.” he whispers mournfully, turning to look at Mike.
Mike frowns, “You don’t… what?”
Will glances wistfully down at the pencil, a standard steely grey, still floating aimlessly in the air, “Can’t think of anything.”
Mike’s shoulders rise up to his ears. This was supposed to be simple. Just get the ghost some coloured pencils and get him to stop terrorizing him and his sisters. How the hell does this keep getting more complicated?
He inhales deeply, letting the air fill his lungs, “Well, what did you like drawing before?” When you were alive, is what he thinks but doesn’t dare add.
In the Fall of 1987, the Wheelers move to a new town, but when things take a turn for the worse in their new house, it's up to Mike to make contact with the strange entity haunting them.

Summary
Lost in a twisted replica of his hometown and beset by monsters and strangling vines at every turn, Will is running out of hope for survival when unexpected help arrives in the form of Mike the Brave: an armor-clad, sword-wielding squire from another universe. But what seemed at first like a miracle proves nothing but trouble, as it turns out that two twelve-year-old boys stranded in a dangerous wasteland with no way home isn’t materially better than one. Though each is initially unsure just how much he can trust the other, they have no choice but to work together if they want to return to their respective worlds, and to the versions of each other that wait for them there.
———
Or: Two boys walk into a wormhole. Will Byers has a hopeless crush on Mike Wheeler. Mike the Brave has a hopeless crush on Will the Wise. Surely there's no way this is going to complicate anything for either of them back home.

Summary
Will's memory smiles at Mike, hair tousled over his brow; his fast-beating, bloody trust deposited into the cradle of Mike's clumsy palms. Tender and sweet, in the face of horror—sixteen, split open and spit out for everyone to gawk at, but still able to look at Mike gently and think him deserving. Of forgiveness, of his first whispered I’m gay.
