Summary
The gate has been closed, Vecna defeated, and everything's looking up for the residents of Hawkins. Life is just starting to go back to normal (whatever that is) when strangers start appearing out of thin air. Quite literally falling from the sky in flashes of blue light.
Because of course the town can't go a year without something supernatural happening.
The Hargreeves have finally got a way out of the 60's, and are more than ready to return to a timeline where there's no impending doomsday breathing down their necks. Instead of landing back at the academy in the present day, they find themselves once again separated, this time in 1986.
Because of course they can't ever have a successful jump through time.

I can't afford therapy so this is my way of coping with both Season 3 and Volume 2 respectively.

Summary
The words Spiderman said surprised even him, but Will didn’t laugh or brush them aside. He just sat there, sketchbook resting loosely on his knees, eyes fixed on the glow of the skyline as if listening in awe. “You really have a way with words, huh? Reminds me of someone.”
When distance grows between him and Will, Mike finds a new way to be near him, even if it's from behind a mask.

Summary
“No. No, Mike, can you hear me?” He nods, ever so slightly. It’s enough for Will. If he’s dying— if these are truly the last words that will ever be spoken between them— there’s only one thing he can say. “I love you. I’m in love with you, Mike, please. You can’t go. I love you so much,” Will whispers, cradling his body to his chest.
—
Will confesses his feelings as Mike takes his last breaths— and then Mike decides to be a stubborn asshole about it and survives. Will is left to deal with the aftermath of his choice, navigating an awkward new friendship.

Summary
“No, no. I don’t have a girlfriend,” he says. The Party continues to stare at him. Will looks down at the table, biting nervously at the inside of his cheek. There is a flash of something on his face, as if something in him has shifted. He continues his contemplation for a bit, and as Mike is about to speak up to once again tell his friends to lay off, Will breaks the silence:
“Do you guys know Chance?”
or; In which Mike and Will navigate the line between best friends and ex-boyfriends just fine, until little love notes start appearing in Will’s locker and Mike is forced to confront the feelings that come with them.

Summary
El’s mouth twists to one side, the way it does when she’s about to deliver bad news. Mike’s gut sinks further. “Will’s bringing Andy home for the holidays to meet everyone.”
Logically, there is only one possible context behind all of this, but that does not mean Mike is willing to believe it before he has to. “Right,” he says, feeling vaguely on the verge of hyperventilating, “and- El, who the fuck is Andy?”
At this, El’s expression of thinly veiled pity shifts into proper shock, her eyes going wide and round. “Oh,” she says, “oh, dear.”
Mike comes home from his first semester at college with a plan: to make Will Byers his boyfriend. Unfortunately, it appears someone else has already beaten him to it.
