Summary
“You kept my painting,” Will says. Sure enough, there’s the heart on Mike’s shield, just as red as the day Will painted it. It was Will’s heart that he painted, maybe. It was also Will’s heart that he pulled out and molded into the lie he thought Mike needed to hear, halfway between Salt Lake City and a secret government bunker in Nevada.
Will’s heart is in his throat now, and in Mike’s hands, and on Mike’s wall, framed and carefully displayed.
They stand there in silence for a minute, Will on one side of the room and Mike on the other and too many years of radio silence in between. The quiet is so heavy it’s like a weight on Will’s chest, crushing him, applying pressure—but to a wound or to a bruise, he doesn’t know.
“Will,” Mike says. “Why are you here?”
(or, will has some realizations and a lot of hard conversations, and not every loss is forever.)

Summary
It's November sixth. Seven years ago, Mike’s world went to shit in the woods outside Hawkins Laboratory. For three years, his life was a bloody, twisted wreck with a hell of a lot of casualties. Somehow, this just feels like another extension of that, like the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be a train, and it’s bearing down on him at full speed while he’s just standing there and letting it.
Seven years ago today, Mike Wheeler lost his best friend, and then he lost himself.
November 6, 1990, in the corner of a crowded room with another boy’s hands in his hair, he feels like maybe, just maybe, he’s finally got a little bit of himself back. He doesn’t know if it’s a part that’s worth keeping, is all.
(or, mike wheeler on kissing boys, growing up, losing your best friend, and finding him again.)

Summary
"The prospect of enduring the summer without most of her friend group hit Jade unexpectedly. Despite the annoying bickering, creative tensions, and constant disagreements, Jade had grown used to having these people in her life, to seeing them every day, to -- ugh -- caring about what’s happening with them. They were her friends and now they were gone and suddenly Jade had to grapple with the prospect of an entire summer in the sole company of Tori Fucking Vega."
Jade and Tori find themselves connecting the summer after they graduate high school, but it's just never that easy with the two of them, is it? Or in the words of Taylor Swift: Hell was the journey, but it brought me heaven.

Summary
My lips opened to speak, but no words came out. I could feel them trembling, and if anyone else had been at my door, my cheeks would've reddened in embarrassment.
But it was Jeremiah.
