    Summary

    Todd Anderson is a recent transfer to Columbia University, destined to live in the shadow of his older brother. A college party is the last place he wants to be. It's loud, filled with Jeff's friends, and a reminder of everything he hates about Columbia. But when he meets a handsome stranger behind the bar, Todd has a chance for one last night of freedom, of rebellion, of fun. One problem: he's never drank before.

    A songfic inspired by Pick Your Poison by Knox

    Summary

    Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.

    And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.

    OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

    Summary

    Mike grins so widely that he displays each one of his baby teeth. "Open it," he says. "It's a card. I made it for you."

    When Will gingerly peels the birthday card open, Mike’s uneven handwriting is displayed across the page.

    The p’s in happy are backwards, the y wobbly and curled at the end, and the k in Mike is also flipped the wrong way. The word birthday is etched in their kindergarten teacher’s steady print, and it seems like she'd also added the punctuation for him. 

    Happy birthday, Will! 
    Love,
    Mike W

    Or: Will Byers' birthdays from age six to adulthood, told through cards from Mike.
