    Summary

    "They were satellites in unstable orbit, trying desperately not to collide while being pulled toward each other anyway."

    Will Byers thought he'd buried his feelings for Mike Wheeler somewhere between Hawkins and Chicago. Then Mike walks into his life again, and eight years of distance collapse into nothing.

    What starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them can name - desperate encounters, painful misunderstandings, emotional manipulation, and Mike's inability to reconcile who he is.

    When Mike finally stops running, he might just be too late.

    Summary

    Will never thought his life would play out like a film. He was just the background noise, the extra on set. He never expected to be the kind of person movies make the main character. The kind of person who gets swept up in a story to be told.

    Then Mike showed up, and the scenes started feeling like they were his.

    ~

    or: Will Byers moves to Hawkins from California, gets an after-school job at the video rental store, and meets Mike Wheeler — who, it turns out, might be checking out more than just movies.

    Summary

    Ryou, a relentlessly repressed and controlled accountant, accidentally slips between dimensions. Since he's a practical, cautious man and not a complete idiot, he retraces his steps and slips right back out again. But he's not alone. And now his life is going to take a sharp turn away from "repressed" and "controlled", to very strange places indeed: into a warped image of the past and into a very uncertain future, through war and violence, to the very edges of reality and beyond.

    Summary

    Agostino is an exiled prince in hiding, caught in the political machinations of a land hungry uncle and a brother accused of of their father’s murder. When he is taken captive by an Uthroon war lord, his sense of himself will be stretched to its limits.
    ****
    When he reached Kadri, Agostino dropped down and kneeled in the dirt at his feet, head bowed. His captor stiffened and some of the soldiers in his regiment made noises of disapproval. They would most likely openly hate him from now on, already having expressed suspicion of his knowledge of foreign languages and culture. To hell with them anyway.

    The man reached down, tilting Agostino’s head up until their eyes met. Kadri’s were the dark golden color of honey. “You’re a child.”

    “I’m twenty-six.”

    “Hmm. Then you are just soft. You kneel at my feet like a war slave.”

    “Oh. Yes. Am I not?”
