Summary
Jisung often dreamed in black and white. He saw keys, a stool, an empty crowd and a piano that outgrew him. And then came the colour, he supposed. Colour in purple bruises, stained bandages and red gloves that suddenly made it all better.
Or Jisung was a prodigy in a life he wanted nothing more than to forget and Minho was now the main event.

Summary
In the wake of Will’s coming out, Mike Wheeler finally confronts the feelings he’s been burying for years with a healthy dose of self-deprecating emotional turmoil. Now, across parallel versions of Hawkins in the lead-up and aftermath of the final battle against Vecna, Mike must reckon with his past, present, and future relationship with Will.
Meanwhile, Will is convinced his sentiments for his best friend will never be returned, that, for him, requited love is a pipe dream and nothing more. As always, he does his best to accept a life with the ache of wanting what he can’t have, focusing instead on mastering his newfound powers to help his friends save the world. But believing nothing has changed gets harder every time Mike looks at him like that…

Summary
By the time Will realized something was missing, it was already too late.
The change came quietly—the Party drifting, the laughter fading, the spaces growing wider. Yet to Will, the past still felt close. Like yesterday. Like it could all be fixed if he just reached out.
So Will stayed. Holding on. Hoping. Believing.
Until someone stepped into the space he didn’t even know was empty.

Summary
"Tell me a secret?"
Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.
Will is a terrible person.
I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.
"I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."
Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.
"Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."
or
They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.
