Everyone saw it. Everyone. Big, red letters spray-painted clear as day on his locker. Every single person would know now that he-
Think. People are going to start thinking that he was queer. And no matter how much he denied it, no one would believe him.
He was so fucked.

Vecna is gone, the party is back together, and the Byers have officially moved back to Hawkins. The whole party is excited for things to finally get back to normal, but no one is more ecstatic than Mike.
When Will finds that adjusting to being back in Hawkins is proving more difficult than he imagined, Mike swears to him that "we're a team" wasn't a joke.
They'd been doing a good job thus far at keeping Will's issues a secret from the party, but they can't really hide a locker being defaced.

Summary
It's been one month since the rift split Hawkins into four scarily equal quadrants and everything began falling apart worse than ever before. Monsters prowl the streets like they own them. Max is still in a coma with no sign of her waking, though her body is slowly healing. El tries on a regular basis to get her to wake, with no success. Everyone mourns Eddie, especially Dustin, who feels responsible for his death. At the center of it all, though, is Nancy's quiet torment. Nightmares. Headaches. Nosebleeds. It was the same path Max had walked before nearly losing her life. But nobody has seen signs of Vecna. But Will insists he is out there, recovering. When he strikes, it will be even worse than ever. They'd barely made it out the first time, how was there any hope of getting out now? They'd all need to work together to put an end to this evil for good.

Summary
“Dustin Henderson,” Steve calls into the fray. “What the hell.”
The living room looks like a wet gremlin pit. There’s a D&D map soggy with rainwater. Lucas is frantically blow-drying dice. Mike is sulking in a chair with a wet hoodie over his head. Max is stuffing tissues into her nose. Erica is perched like royalty on the couch with an unimpressed scowl, arms crossed.

“I think someone laced my coke with something,” she muttered.
“No one laced your- You’re on cocaine?” Eddie finally glanced up.
“I’m sorry, that’s what you’re concerned about right now? Not the fucking… hellspawn that tried to break into my van?”
“You shouldn’t do that shit, Eddie, it’s not good for you.”
“Oh my god, shut up. You can evangelize after you explain what the fuck is going on!”
Eddie and Stevie start dating before the events of Vol. 2, but not all stories end in death.

"How old were you guys when you lost your virginities? I was 17 when me and Suzie did it." He says, throwing the fry in his mouth.

"Yeah, so?" Dustin retorts, his cheeks reddening.
"We were 16." Max explains, throwing a smile at Lucas
"How bout' you Will?" Dustin asks, throwing another fry in his mouth.

Summary
“Come oooooon, Jonny, please?” Argyle pleads on their third morning sleeping in the van. “I'm telling you my dude, no one will care! They're gone alright? They packed all of their pretty little things and they drove the fuck away from here, and they're not coming back! We can just pick one, any one, even the Chief agrees.”
Jon turns on his back and speaks at the ceiling. “Hopper's not even chief anymore dude, and we can't just up and walk into someone's house and settle there.”
“Why not my dude? They'll never even know.”
“Cause it's illegal! Immoral? It would be weird? I don't know man, we just can't!”
“Immoral? Illegal? Jonny my man, you call yourself a punk? What would Bowie do, man? What would Bowie do!?”
This is an Argyle-centric fic, set in Hawkins post-rift.
This is a tale of survival.
The army quarantines the town, but of course they've got to stay, got to try and save the world.
Argyle is there for most of it, helps where he can, mostly by providing comfort (food) and relief (Purple Palm Tree Delight) to the good people of Hawkins, army included.
Jonathan's there too, of course, and it takes them a while, but they get there. -

Summary
Eddie, otherwise known as the town freak, was different. His attire was…on the darker side. He played Dungeons & Dragons after school with a bunch of children. The trailer park he called home didn’t have the best reputation, especially with his small business (which may or may not be legal), coming in and out. And as far as music went…well, let’s just say that it isn’t the most traditional. All of these mixing up into making him an easy target for small-minded idiots like Jason Carver. Of course, it didn’t help that Eddie is a smartass who couldn’t keep his fucking mouth shut.
OR
Eddie Munson and Chrissy Cunningham become the best of gay disaster friends and then their lives get ruined and better at the same time with the events of season 4.

Summary
Robin never thought that the next eventful occurrence in her life after tossing Molotov cocktails at a telekinetic demon from another plane would be coaching a gay kid with a bowl cut on how to make moves on an emo dork with a girlfriend alongside Hawkins' main weed dealer, but she wasn't complaining much. Focused on recovering from all the Upside-Down shit, she gets closer to the others involved as they all pick up the pieces left behind. Because of this, she ends up going to Hellfire for a deal she had with Eddie, hoping to supply Will some "comfort" in the unknown territory. She says it's ridiculous at first but quickly reconsiders after it's revealed that the three highschoolers all know each other's secret.
So focused on mentoring Byers, she forgets to apply her advice to his crush's sister.

Meanwhile in Hawkins, Will is just beginning to tap into his newly discovered powers when he hears Max's voice calling for help. Suddenly there is hope yet of returning Max to her friends.
