    Summary

    The day Frank Columbo met Eugenio Franchitti was a day blessed by God: God and all the real angels and saints, specifically Adjutor, Philip Neri, and Barbara. The war was going full swing; on the beach there were the leftovers, the women and boys and girls, and the oldest Franchitti kids who hadn’t shipped overseas, Geno and Cecilia, first cousins. Frank hadn’t noticed ’em at first, either of ’em, the tall and lanky boy and girl with skin like gold and eyelashes like fringed velvet burlesque fans, physical traits the magazines said you could shell out for but the Franchitti kids had ’em in spades all natural; but once he had he couldn’t stop noticin'.

    Summary

    "Listen," Will stalled outside the front door. "I have to tell you something."

    "Are you okay?" Dustin immediately asked.

    "Did Mike bring a girlfriend?" Jane wondered, eyes wide with curiosity.

    "No, he brought a child," Will stated, voice falling flat.

    //

    Or, Summer of 1995: The big reunion. Will is recently single. Mike brings his child. Everyone asks the same question: Who did Mike Wheeler have a baby with, and how did Will Byers miss the memo that Mike is gay?

    Summary

    "She’s taking a sip, dry and sharp on her tongue, when the doorbell rings a floor above, and she hears distantly Steve’s open delight, Robin, Dustin, back from the shit I won’t understand?

    I’m a lesbian, Nancy thinks, taking another sip of wine. Eddie clinks his glass against hers and sneaks a slice of chorizo from Steve’s chopping board, tapping a finger against the side of his nose, shh, don’t tell, the way normal couples keep their secrets, the way honesty is earned and not borne on the back of a lie.

    Love is a battle I can win. Nancy turns to face the door."

    // Christmas 1994. Nancy faces her fears.

    Summary

    Nearly a decade on from the events of 1986, strung out at the end of his rope and grappling with the pitfalls of fame, Eddie Munson hits rock bottom, and looks death in the face for a second time.

    Forced to reckon with his past and all of the feelings and fears he has pushed aside, or else lose everything, he does the only thing he can, and finally stops running. In a small town in the California mountains, and surrounded by the same familiar faces he's been missing for a decade, he begins a new journey to gain forgiveness and pick up the pieces as, for the first time, maybe ever, he places his trust in hope.

    Or: A burnt out rock star gets sober, connects with nature, and rebuilds his relationships with the people he never stopped loving... with some minor setbacks along the way.
