Summary
They didn’t return last night.
That’s never happened before.
It was the first rule they made when they moved to the lab. No one goes out at night. The creatures of the Upside Down are far more active during the night.
They’ve been out there for twenty eight hours and thirteen minutes. Robin’s barely slept. The same’s true for most of the others, she knows.

Summary
Max turned in the direction of the headstone as well. “Why would seeing someone’s name on there freak you out so much, Will. Jesus, I thought Vecna had you and I don’t have your music with me. I thought you were about to die, and I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be, Byers, just tell me what's going on.”
Will just then found his mouth very dry and a lump set in his throat. Suddenly, all the words in his mouth died and he simply stared straight ahead.
“Will.” Max said softly after a few seconds. “Who’s grave is it?”
Will forced the lump down his throat as he answered her.
“It’s mine.”

Summary
“Mike,” this time Will hoped to convey his eye roll through his tone.
“Will,” he said back, mimicking and with an audible smile.
“Are we just going to spend this entire call saying each other’s names?”
“If it means I get to keep hearing you say my name, I wouldn’t mind,” Mike said, beginning playfully but ending on a much softer note. Will sucked in a breath, surprised at the honesty in his tone. It made him feel raw.
or, as pitched on my tumblr,
Byler college fic post-canon where the party goes different places and it’s centered around Will and his closest friend who is also queer and she despises Mike after hearing about Will pining for him but one day in November, Will has a worse panic attack than usual and she can’t help him and is forced to call Mike and for the first time learns Will went missing and goes home with Will to Hawkins during winter break because her family sucks and learns about the Upside Down and Mike is jealous because he thinks they’re dating and the second the friend sees Mike, she knows she’s right and that Mike is in love with Will too.

Summary
“Don’t you remember?” Lucas asked softly. “When we were kids? Like, sixth grade. We all said we’d be in each other’s weddings.” He chuckled. “And Mike called dibs on being my best man, and then you and Dustin started freaking out, because you were both gonna call dibs, so I said you could all do it. Remember? I need all my best men.”
Will puffed out his cheeks, running a hand through his hair. He already hadn’t lived up to that twice now. He’d missed Dustin’s wedding, he hadn’t even been invited to Mike’s (not that he’d expected to be.) This was his last shot.
And something about it seemed final. If he missed this, then that was it. He had no doubt they’d still try to reach out, but it wouldn’t be the same. He would’ve broken something he couldn’t fix.
He sighed.
“Okay.”
Ten years after the end of the world, Lucas and Max get married.
It's a mess.

Summary
Vecna is dead. Hawkins is a ghost of what it used to be. With Max waking up from her coma and Eddie having been rescued and brought back from the dead, the group is finally moving on from their past. They try to, at least - it's impossible to forget the horror from the last few years.
While Steve does his best to help Robin through nightly panic attacks, Eddie is trying to grasp the fact that he's alive in a world that doesn't want him.
El's attention is directed toward helping Max through her recovery while her own relationship to Mike crumbles, and Will fights to keep his secrets hidden from his best friend.
It's not easy, trying to live a normal life. But there's always the comfort of each other.Series

I Will Follow You (Into The Dark) by RoseByAnyOtherName17

Summary
Maybe One is right; maybe Will hates him, wants him dead. Maybe Will lied that night, months ago, when he promised Mike that he would never join One willingly, no matter what the bastard was telling him in the seemingly endless nightmares that plagued him. When he tried to make Mike promise that he would do whatever it took to end this, no matter what happened to Will in the process.
Mike wouldn’t make that promise. He just promised Will, in his own head, that if it came down to it, neither one of them would die without knowing the truth. And Mike can’t breathe right now, let alone form the words out loud, so instead, he begins to tap on Will’s hand. Familiar dots and dashes, determined to keep his promise.
I, he taps, unable to hear anything over the roaring in his ears.
Love, he taps, watching One move Will's mouth through blurred vision.
You, he taps, and something in those brown eyes flickers, just for a moment.
--
In which Will is possessed by One and Mike figures, if he's going to die, he might as well pour out his heart anyway. (Spoiler alert: he doesn't die.)

Summary
Darkness swallowed his vision, Dustin's heartbroken sobs fading to complete and utter silence. The pain in his sides ebbed away to numbness, cold seeping through his bones. The smell of his own blood pooling under him faded to non-existence. His thoughts, usually a constant untamable flow of nonsense, shrunk to only one singular realization.
"This is it."
Edward Munson, the freak of Hawkins high, is wholly and truly gone. Left behind by his friends in the panicked chaos of their escape from the Upside Down, his body lays cold and broken as a testament to his life being over.
So why does he wake up, alive and breathing, in the Upside Down?
And why is Hargrove there?

Summary
Closing in on a year since Vecna's defeat, Hawkins resembles normalcy once again. But Steve Harrington is still drowning. Everything has changed for Steve, yet the town of Hawkins has gone back to normal for the first time in at least a decade. Everyone returning to the life they had, to the loved ones they fought for. But Steve finds himself more isolated than ever. He is sinking, yet doing his best to pretend he isn't, unsure how to ask for help, unsure if he deserves it. The only one who sees past the pretense, who understand his struggle, is Eddie 'The Freak' Munson.
*
This fic is not canon compliant, it takes place almost a year after season 4 in which (in this fic) Vecna was defeated. This story is not just a Steddie fic, though Steve and Eddie are the main focus, it will have also highlight other characters and other relationships.
This is a story about accepting yourself, being loud and proud, and seeing past prejudices. -

Max is slowly going through the process of healing her trauma and recovering her mobility. Thankfully, she has her friends to support her. If only they'd stop saying things like they still think she's sleeping and sounding startled when she talks about it.
OR
Max gains telepathy and is the last to find out. In her defence, she literally cannot see them not talking when she hears them talking. El takes full advantage of this. -

Summary
It all started by chance, when Bill noticed the black eye Richie was sporting. Then came the downward spiral of social services, finding out you are adopted and have a long lost twin brother, and leaving the town you grew up in to go live with the family that adopted him.
***
You mean I didn’t just get stuck with the worst parents on the face of the earth by the fate of conception? You mean they actually chose me just to wish they hadn’t all these years later? You mean I now have two families that don’t want me? It makes sense really. I'm just a big trashmouth. I’m a disappointment. Why would anyone want me?
***
The Wheeler's really are polar opposites from the Tozier's. What will it take for Richie to understand he can actually be wanted? How will these boys react to the change in family dynamic? What happens when they both are pining over the same boy? Get ready for a deep dive into the emotions of Richie, Mike, and Will as they navigate these life changes in the last few years of high school. Can they handle it? We'll just have to see.

Summary
At some point, Eddie’s hand had made its way to Steve’s bad knee, massaging it gently in soothing circles. It was like magic, the way the deep ached subsided just enough for Steve’s posture to slump. He felt like putty under Eddie’s fingertips. Tension melted away from him as Eddie continued his work over his kneecap to the beginning of his thigh. He couldn’t help but close his eyes and let out a contented sigh.
“Do you want me to stop?” Eddie asked quietly.
“Huh?”
“Steve,” Eddie whispered. “Do you want me to stop?”
