Summary
“You should come back with me.”
“Whaddaya mean?” Steve says, around a mouthful of pizza.
“To New York.”
There isn’t music playing, but if there were, this is when the record would scratch and everyone would freeze. Steve lowers his slice of pizza and rubs self-consciously at the red sauce at the corner of his mouth.
“Huh?”
“You should come back with me to New York,” Eddie repeats.
“To visit? Or, like… to live there?”
In which Eddie has feelings about Steve's baseball coach khakis, dating long-distance, and what the future holds for their definitely-alive, definitely not doomed-by-canon relationship.
(Basically the Steddie version of the Hollanov cottage conversation, wherein Eddie is Shane and plans their future for an oblivious Steve.)

Summary
He looks around the room, immediately picking up a candlestick holder as a weapon, before walking slowly toward the noise.
The knocking intensifies as he rounds the corner, and—
“Hell no,” Steve says and begins to turn around. It’s over. It’s supposed to be over.
The banging gets louder, more frantic, and now that Steve knows, he can hear his voice, too. “Steve Harrington, don’t leave me outside like this.”
“Nope,” Steve shakes his head. “Absolutely not. This is not real.”

Summary
Six years had passed since the last Dungeons and Dragons campaign in Mike Wheeler’s basement. Six years since the dice stopped rolling, since the world almost ended, and since too many important things were never said.
Mike became a writer almost by accident, building stories to keep the past at a safe distance. But over time the words thinned out. Without Hawkins, without the people who shaped him, inspiration faded. His agent suggested New York, told him to walk the city and let something new find him.
What Mike did not expect was Will.
Seeing him again, older and real, cracked something open. Everything Mike had carefully put together to hide, to forget, to move on began to fall apart.
New York was meant to give him a new story. Instead, it returned the one he left unfinished.
