    Summary

    For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don’t count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the friend group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.

    It’ll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

    The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.

    Summary

    It's June 1993. Fresh out of college and ready for a taste of freedom, the Party joins Mike at the Wheeler's lake house for a summer they won't forget. Between the sweltering heat and the chaos of the night, the lines between friendships start to blur.

    or

    “So this is how our summer’s gonna go, huh?”

    Mike smiled. “Like I said earlier. You’re not ready for how wild this summer is gonna be.”

    “I’m pretty sure you said it would be good,” Will said with a smirk.

    Mike picked up the shots, holding them close to his chest. “Good, wild… same difference.“

    Summary

    “Is this weird?”

    Will frowns. “What?”

    “I don’t know, I’m just— every time we—” he stops when Will pulls his hand away by his wrist and resumes dabbing his lip. He doesn’t think twice when he brings the tissue to his mouth to make use of his own saliva, and Mike doesn’t question him either. “I can’t be normal around you anymore.”

    Will delicately cleans him up, eyes calm and steady, voice comfortably quiet. “I’m not asking you to be.”

    Or: In the November morning light, everything has changed. Mike and Will try to figure out who they really are, what they really want, and how much they really need each other before they lose their minds—but, if they’re honest, that might just be the fun part.
