(I'm bad at summaries, sorry).
Hawkins, IN. Summer. 1985 (A lot of time ends up passing though).
Will can't get over his feelings for his best friend, no matter how much he wants to. He tries to hide it from the party, his mom, his brother, Hopper. The only person who knows is the only other gay kid in Hawkins, who just so happens to be in Will's art class. Will has no idea how to go on.
Mike shouldn't feel the way he does. He has a girlfriend, whom he really likes. But, for some reason, he can't stop staring at Will Byers. That new kid from Will's art class doesn't exactly make Mike's life easy though.
Sam wants to start over. He wants to forget about who he used to be. About, the boy. He tries to keep his head low in Hawkins, small Indianan towns aren't known for their progressive views on queer people after all. He succeeds until he meets Will Byers. God, why did he always have to fall for the cute artsy boys?

Hawkins is supposed to be a boring town in Indiana. Just over a year ago, it was. That was before Frankie's best friend, her twin brother, went missing and came back a different person. Now, it's been a year and everything has changed. This is about Francis Byers becoming close with someone outside the party (at first), and slowly coming to terms with the fact that she might just like girls. WARNING (My own character (Francis Byers) x Maxine Mayfield) Yes it is a wlw fanfic. Being as the show Stranger Things is based in the 1980's there is going to be some homophobia and also Frankie does have nightmares and some anxiety issues.Complete
