Summary
Six months, one week and three days.
It's been six months, one week and three days since Mike, Dustin, and Lucas were saved from the Demogorgon by Eleven, a uniquely gifted girl who made the ultimate sacrifice for her newly found friends. El destroyed the Demogorgon, but in the process disappeared into the unknown without a trace.
It's been six months, one week and three days since Will Byers was rescued from the terrfying Upside Down, but his return from the alternate dimension has been anything but smooth. From the constant flashbacks to the peculiar slug creatures he keeps vomiting up, the time he spent hiding from monsters may have taken a bigger toll on him than anyone realizes.
For six months, Mike has devoted all the time he has to trying to find his lost friend, and for six months his desperate calls have gone unanswered, until one night, El breaks the silence with a cryptic message for her three friends; find Seven, and save Eleven from the place she's lost in.
In the summer of '84 the foursome finds themselves in more danger than ever before and must find the mysterious entity called Seven in order to get Eleven the help she needs. It's time for Hawkins to become a little stranger.

Summary
He and Eleven have often whispered about how cute Dustin and Max would be together. Their own relationship is still undefined, ambiguous at best. She tells him secrets in the dark and he tells her stories about kings and queens to chase away the nightmares. There are kisses and slow dances and hugs that last too long to be just friends. They are forever in a grey area but it doesn’t stop them from trying (unsuccessfully) to set up their friends with other people.

He’s been saying it in his head almost ever since he met her though. He just doesn’t know how to articulate it. The words get stuck in his throat. Trip over his tongue until they magically transform into something else that doesn't really carry the same weight as those three words do.

Summary
Years ago, Hopper looked at her like she was all he wanted, all he needed. It was an embarrassing kind of look; it was an exciting kind of look. He didn't use words like skittish or crazy to describe her, not ever. She was just his, until she wasn't anymore, and then she was Joyce.
