Summary
Sort of sequel to "Sometimes is never quite enough", but from Grian's POV
He doesn’t want to be like this anymore. He doesn’t want to cry over every little thing, he doesn’t want to make his mother's life harder than it already is, and he doesn’t want his sister and father to not be here. Not for the first time, his crocodile tears became real ones, and he fruitlessly keeps trying to wipe them away, along with the memories he has of his dad and twin sister.
"I’m sorry I’m like this."
Or, Grian's life during the 8 years Pearl was gone.

Summary
She just has to wait it out, she kept telling herself. One of these days, she’d get a letter back, and everything would go back to normal. Despite the fact that the apartment was now furnished, and Pearl got to paint the walls in her room whatever color she wanted, and Pearl being 3 quarters of the way through her school year. It didn’t matter. None of it mattered. It was all temporary. She stares at the moon each night, watching it slowly rise over the horizon, changing shape each night. All temporary.
Or, Pearl's life during the 8 years she was away

Summary
Will is trying to move on.
A night out at a midnight shadow cast performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show seems like a good start: outrageous costumes, bizarre traditions, and a cute guy who might just be worth giving a chance. For the first time in a long while, Will is ready to step into the world—and maybe even into something new.
What he doesn’t expect is seeing the one person he can’t stop thinking about standing under the stage lights—in fishnets, a corset, and looking entirely too good.
Suddenly, moving on is the last thing on Will's mind.

Summary
“It’s okay. I know it’s… hard for you.”
“Yeah,” Mike exhales through his mouth. With the way Will is spread out on the bed, his shorts have ridden up on his thighs and it’s making it hard to breathe—Will is all comfortable and unguarded, and Mike can sense more than see the vein running up the side of his knee, along his inner thigh and then even higher up.
Mike’s eyes rest there for a second. He imagines following the scent, his nose pressed to Will’s skin. Pushing the fabric of his shorts out of the way, all the way up to his groin. Burying his teeth just underneath the junction of it, where the skin is softest and the vein pulsing warmest.
Or, Mike returns from the Upside Down changed, with a newfound hunger for blood—Will’s blood, specifically. It’s getting harder and harder to resist.

Summary
After a bite from a demobat during the final battle with Vecna, Mike Wheeler discovers he’s… not entirely human anymore. Vampire instincts, heightened senses, and an insatiable hunger for one particular person—Will Byers—throw both of their worlds into chaos.
From hesitant experiments at home to messy, intimate first feedings, and playful teasing around their friends, Mike and Will navigate trust, love, and the challenges of a life that’s part supernatural, part completely ordinary.
