    Summary

    Our story begins somewhere at the beginning of Stranger Things season 5 (Autumn of 1987) with Mike lying awake beside Will. Haunted by memories of the past, Mike struggles with intense emotions he can’t fully name yet, fear, guilt, and something closer to 'caring'. He wrestles with the pressure to always be the “strong one,” the heart of their group, while secretly craving connection and comfort.
    I strongly recommend to have full knowledge of the 4th seasons of the show before reading this, it will contain specific details of past seasons.

    Summary

    He had always imagined that if they managed to leave that hell behind, he would be sharing all these normal problems with his friends, more so with Will. But well, life was arbitrary, and he made peace with his choices a long time ago. Or something of sorts.

    Mike thought that he was doing his best while studying, working and living in NYC. But after running into someone from Hawkins, Mike tries his best to stay afloat.

    Mike is in his third year of university at New York City, trying to survive being a college student while coming to terms with his past and mending his old relationships with his family and friends.

    Summary

    "Maybe we are the monsters"

    Eleven stopped in her search. She turned to her brother with questioning look. Wondering what's going on in his head. She sensed something was wrong with her brother, but for what exactly, she wasn't sure. She sensed whatever was making his heart race and body panting for air, keeping his eyes downward, afraid to look at anyone. Wasn't anything to do with their mission. "Perhaps we are" she said calmly, drawing his eyes to her. "So what are we going to do about it"

    Changing the Ending of season 4, this is my version of season 5. Hope you all enjoy :D

    Summary

    The year is 1984, and after Ted Wheeler dies because of some stupid lab accident at his annoying government job in Hawkins, Indiana, Thirteen-year-old Mike and his family are forced to move there and stay at some lousy trailer park because 1.) moving there was the closest thing they had to still being with him, not that Mike really cared, 2.) it was the cheapest place his mom could afford when you’re in charge of a family of four with no man in the house, and 3.) because Mike had kinda maybe sorta did something really, really bad to another boy at school that unfortunately just lined up with the time him and his family had to move so… nothing important really.

    Everything changes during Hopper’s absence. Hawkins. Time. Their lives. It would be Joyce and Hopper’s luck to conceive a child from the one instance they had sex… during an apocalypse.

    When Vecna's takeover subsides,
    The interworking's of the upside down are still remnant.

    Summary

    It's 1985 and in the quiet months before Hawkins starts to burn again, Mary-Elizabeth MacKinley is already unraveling. She's graduating this year. Vinyl Frontier is relocating. Eddie’s leaving for Indianapolis. Her mom is seeing someone new. Babysitting Dustin is about to be a thing of the past. And the future—whatever that even means for a girl like her—is coming fast. To make things more confusing, somewhere in the middle of it all, Steve Harrington keeps showing up with dumb jokes, soft eyes, and a patience she doesn’t know what to do with.

    Then Starcourt Mall opens. Neon lights, minimum wage, and new friendships start pulling everyone back together. But beneath the food court and escalators, something ugly is waking up. Something that makes all the other battles they've fought look harmless. Something that makes the change of growing up feel like the least of Mac's problems.

    ***Please read my Season 1 & 2 rewrites 'Distorted Paths' and 'Residual Shadows' first to get the full story!***

    THIS IS SET DURING SEASON THREE! EACH SEASON WILL HAVE A SEPERATE FIC IN THIS SERIES! <3

    Summary

    Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.

    Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.

    The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.

    A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.

    The beast’s got him.

    Summary

    His eyes widen as he takes him in. Mike. He almost couldn’t believe it was him at all.

    “Stare a little harder, would you?” Mike said hoarsely, breaking the silence.

    “Sorry,” Will breathed, and then shook himself out of… whatever he was doing; ogling, oh god. He was ogling Mike. “I didn’t mean to—you’re just, you look different.”

    When Will Byers' powers come to light, Will and Mike are sent on a world-shifting adventure across universes that slowly serve to answer for that yawning chasm of lies and uncertainties between them. It may also, simulataneously, lead them straight to the salvation that they've all been waiting for, for far too long:

    Purging their lives of the Upside Down, finally, once and for all.

    Summary

    Post-Season 3, does not include Season 4 canon

    In the aftermath of Starcourt, lives are fragmented. El is learning what it's like to be a normal human, Will is struggling to conceal an identity on the verge of unfortunate discovery (even from himself), Mike is floating in a world of change, Dustin is struggling to balance friendships and new opportunities, Lucas is blending into a town that never wanted him in the first place, and Max is unsuccessfully healing the hole in her heart as her family crumbles.

    High school is the first beast other than a literal one that the entire Party will take on together. It is where their personalities will come to the surface, where their interests will no longer bond together but break them apart, and where their identities will morph into their new monsters. Can they learn to balance them, or will they let the weight of new experiences outweigh the old, worn memories of the past?

    Summary

    Today did not go how Mike expected. He anticipated just another Friday boys' night without Will - boring and long, where he spent most of the time in his own head, wishing Will was there with him. Instead, he'd come out to two of his best friends. And revealed his massive, huge, scarily intense crush on Will, which, apparently, wasn't news to them at all. What a night.

    Despite himself, he wished Will could have been there. He wished he could talk to Will about these things. He wanted to tell his best friend about his crush. But he couldn't. Because his best friend and his crush just so happened to be the same person.

    ***

    Mike decides to come out as gay to the most important people in his life - including Will.

    Will Byers thought distance would make things easier. It only made the truth louder.

    Summary

    The end of the world shouldn’t be like this. It should be ending with a loud bang or a big, sad wave of applause. Not like this. Scattered military bases across a small, rather apocalyptic town, red flashed ground, rain smelling of acid and puke. The scene could remind one of a very bad horror movie, filmed in the sixties on a really, really low budget.

    But it’s the reality, the reality William Byers has started to be fine with.
    Well at least trying to be fine with. The raw apocalypse has started to seem way more soothing than attending high school under the circumstances. If will Byers was normal, maybe things would be different, easier and he could pack up and leave the government to the work. But unfortunately this wasn’t the case.

    (This fanfic is a small „prediction“ for season 5 of stranger things. It will actually focus on Byler but the plot will still be there. I’ll post at least 4 times a week, maybe less, maybe more, depends on my exams.)

    Every chapter will have the title of a song, I’ll recommend listening to it while reading the chapter! :)

    Summary

    Nancy Wheeler was supposed to be in Hawkins Post, not in Scoops Ahoy with her new, annoying co-worker, Robin Buckley, trying not to let her get to her and chasing around hypothetical Russians. On top of that, she was debating whether she even wanted to be with Jonathan. Overall, she wasn't having the best time so far this summer.

    or, Nancy works at Scoops with Robin instead of Steve and this is how id imagine it plays out but make it a bit gayer

    Summary

    Kat Byers only wanted one night to breathe. One night without responsibilities, without babysitting, without pretending everything was fine.

    Then Will disappeared, and everything cracked.

    Now the world's upside down, her head's still pounding from cheap beer, and no one seems to have any answers.

    Set during Stranger Things Season 1, this is a retelling through the eyes of the oldest Byers sibling. Kat has a sharp tongue, a soft heart, and is one step from burning Hawkins to the ground. This story is about grief, guilt, found family, and the girl standing at the center in combat boots, clove cigarette in hand, and no idea how to stop holding it all together. To make matters worse, she keeps getting dragged into Steve Harrington's orbit, igniting the slowest possible burn between two people pretending they don't care.
