Summary
Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”
Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”
Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.
“The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”
OR: A Will Byers-centric speculation of ST5! Based on trailers, BTS footage, and some scenes from The First Shadow.

Summary
Behold! I am the Gawker. Despite being an ancient, near-omnipotent entity I seem to be little more than a peeping Tom, similar like you, who is currently reading these words on a screen somewhere. (; Today I examine the question: What if Kali Prasad had returned in Season 4 of Stranger Things?

Summary
Hawkins is burning around them. Shadows of monsters, the military, and something rotten have left them without a proper home.
While Joyce and Hopper struggle to find themselves on the same page for once, they’re also trying to keep a family stitched together on borrowed time. Rationing what's left of hope, chasing ghosts through the radio, pretending the world isn't on the verge of ending.
But something is still transmitting beneath the static... something still hungry for blood. And the deeper they dig to save what’s left of their home, the more they uncover the truth that’s been hiding inside them all along.
Takes place in the months after season 4 and before season 5. Canon-divergent. Mature themes.

Summary
Hopper gets seriously hurt and ends up relying on Joyce to take care of him. But don't worry, this isn't some cheesy romance. It's Hopper and Joyce we're talking about, so you know it won't be an ordinary, predictable story. Get ready for plenty of drama, angst, fluffy moments, humor and an unconventional AU story.

Summary
We could try to go
But in the end, I'd never follow
I was never meant to be by your side~
“Last thing we know is that you were in love.”, Dustin went on, and Eddie could practically feel the poison rising in his throat like bile as he desperately attempted to swallow it down. “Suddenly, you’re acting like you’re strangers.”, he continued, and Eddie’s chest grew tight as he tried with all his might to stop all the pain from spewing out. “You never told us what happened between you two.”, Dustin finally said, and something cracked wide open in Eddie, setting him off once more.
“That’s the fucking problem! I don’t know what happened either!” Eddie snapped, his voice rough and pained as the words tore through his throat. That’s what it all came down to in the end. Even after three months, Eddie still didn’t understand what the fuck had happened between Steve and him. It was driving him insane.

Summary
“Mike..” he says softly. Mike looks at him. Will raises a hand to his cheek, suddenly not caring for anyone else. But Mike flinches the moment it makes contact, so instead he settles it on Mike’s knee. “Are you okay?”
(No, you idiot, he thinks. Of course he’s not okay. He’s cursed and no one knew! You didn’t even know Vecna was close. That is such a stupid question)
Mike opens his mouth to respond, but nothing comes out. He looks so lost, it scares Will.
Max chews on her nail as Lucas keeps crossing and uncrossing his arms, and Will knows it’s probably killing Dustin to stay quiet. El is close to tears.
(His own eyes burn too)
Will’s about to call his name again but then Mike cracks a small smile and says: “I think we defeated Vecna.”
Or, Vecna is defeated- wait, did he self destruct?

Summary
Dear Steve, if you get this letter... I hope they don't blame you for it.
Dear Will, I wish we'd gotten the chance to be better friends.
Dear Mike, I know what it's like to want to run away from your fear.
Dear Dustin, thank you for being my friend.
Dear El, you're probably the best person I've ever met.
Dear Lucas, try not to hate me, if you can. I didn't want to go. I didn't want to let everything fall apart.
From/Sincerely/Love,
Your number one Zoomer.
Max_______________________________
A year and a half is a long time to wait for the world to end. It's even longer when, for you, it already has.
Vecna is hiding—somewhere. Max is alive, but barely. And it feels like there’s nothing to be done. The clues have dried up, the trail is cold, the world is rotting.
The Party will have to fight again someday, though when isn’t clear and no one is providing any answers. All they can do is try and stay together until that time comes.
But, you know. That sort of thing is easier said than done.Series

Summary
Will grabbed one from the fruit bowl and started chopping, which meant that he turned away from Mike again. Something in his chest hurt. Why wasn’t Will talking to him more? They were best friends, were they not? He understood that they must’ve grown apart over the time since they last saw each other, but surely that should mean they should be catching up, right?
“Can you get El? This should be done in a few minutes anyway.”
“No prob-” Will had already covered his ears again, leaving Mike’s response to die on his lips.----
When Mike Wheeler landed in California to spend his sophomore spring break with his girlfriend and his best friend after not seeing them for over a year and a half, he thought that everything would go smoothly. But Will's distant, and El's keeping something from him. When the military show up at the Byers' house the night after he arrives searching for El and Will, things take a turn that nobody ever expected.
