Summary
Will’s eyes were blank, unseeing.
Mike blinked and was thrown back eleven years. His nose stung with memory of the damp, sour-sweet rot that had haunted Hawkins the year the tunnels vivisected the town.
It’s been eight years since the final battle, and everyone is back in town for Steve’s wedding.
The Upside Down is gone, Vecna is dead, and Will keeps waking up in the woods. -

Summary
Will— Will, who understands him more than anyone— is suddenly unrecognizable to Mike. The hatred in his cold look, his sneer. But he is still standing there, waiting—
“Vecna,” Mike says, as a wave of realization hits him. He feels pulled under, caught in a riptide of shame and guilt and fear and relief.
Not-Will raises an eyebrow. “Such a childish impulse, to try and name what you do not understand.”When the Demogorgon comes, it’s Mike who's taken, not Holly.

u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]

Summary
Mike grins so widely that he displays each one of his baby teeth. "Open it," he says. "It's a card. I made it for you."
When Will gingerly peels the birthday card open, Mike’s uneven handwriting is displayed across the page.
The p’s in happy are backwards, the y wobbly and curled at the end, and the k in Mike is also flipped the wrong way. The word birthday is etched in their kindergarten teacher’s steady print, and it seems like she'd also added the punctuation for him.
Happy birthday, Will!
Love,
Mike WOr: Will Byers' birthdays from age six to adulthood, told through cards from Mike.
