Summary
No one ever talks about what happens after.
No one told Will that the monsters would never really leave him. No one told Will how being taken and possessed would sit in his stomach like a coiled-up vine. No one told Will how he'd never feel like himself again.
No one told Will what to do, now that the worst is over and he doesn't feel any better. No one told Will how to handle the after, the in-between of not dying and still feeling dead.
No one told Will how to feel alive, so he figures it out for himself.
(Or; A study of how Will handles— or doesn't handle— the aftermath of what happens to him.)

Summary
Will Byers is perfectly content with his adult life: his Manhattan apartment, his roommate who he is definitely no longer in love with, and friends he wouldn't trade for the world. So what difference does it make when his step-sister reappears after disappearing to California as soon as they finished college? Who cares that Dustin might have a thing for her, and Mike is suddenly being a better roommate, and Lucas keeps giving him this look like he knows something no one else does?
Certainly not Will. That's for sure.

Summary
It’s at that very moment that, for reasons completely and utterly unknown to anyone at all, every single possible word he has ever learned from any language ever has suddenly disappeared from his brain, and his throat feels relevant to the Sahara Desert.
None of this, of course, has to do with the fact that Will is very, very, very – shirtless.
Will blinks at him. “Are you okay?”
“Shoulders,” Mike says, sounding vaguely chipmunk-like, and he hears Max barely choke down a snicker.
Will comes back for the summer, and Mike deals with it.
Kind of. Not really.
