Summary
Daryl's mama once told him something that he never really appreciated while she was alive. When stuff got bad, she'd look at him with that exhausted half-smile on her face and crouch down so that she was eye-level with his much shorter self. "Honey? At some point- something's gotta give. You just gotta be sure that when it does, you're strong enough to handle what happens next."
Smart lady, his mama.
After they lose Beth, the decision to keep surviving is hard. It takes everything they've got to keep going.
And the funny thing was? When Daryl faltered, Rick always seemed to be right there to pick him back up.
This is a story of how far you have to fall before you can make it back up again, and of the people who make it all worthwhile.

Summary
Mike opens his mouth, then closes it. Too many questions crowded in the back of his throat. What happened to you this week? What are you hiding? Why didn’t you call me? None of them make it out.
Lucas, steadier, breaks the silence.
“Whose car was that?”
It takes Will a moment to answer. He blinks at the wall behind Lucas like he’s trying to rewind something in his head.
“I borrowed it,” he says finally.
Lucas tilts his head. “Really? From who?”
When Will Byers arrives at the WSQK radio station in a vandalized car none of them recognize, the walls he’s built start to crack. What slips out is a secret he’s been hiding in plain sight.

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.
