Summary
Miranda Sheppard always thought Hawkins, Indiana was a quiet—maybe even boring—little town. But that illusion shattered in 1983, the day Will Byers vanished without a trace. It was the beginning of something much darker.
Four years later, after losing her father in 1985 and surviving the horrors of Starcourt, Miranda is trying to move forward, scarred but still standing. She spends the summer away from Hawkins, hiding out in the quiet town of New Harmony with her aunt and uncle—searching for peace, even though she knows forgetting isn’t an option.
When she returns for her senior year, Hawkins is almost unrecognizable—marked by grief, silence, and secrets that never really stayed buried. But something else is stirring in the shadows: a supernatural threat that never truly died. And now it’s back—stronger, crueler, and hungry for more than just blood.
It wants to consume everything.

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. -

How much can you forgive? How much are you able to heal? And how much can love help you do that?
Especially after the worst thing has already happened...- - -
Second chances don’t come easy. Not after what Steve did. But Eddie can’t shake the feeling that sometimes happily ever after is worth the (literal) scars.

Summary
"His gaze dropped to the man's mouth again, that was pressed into a serious grim line now.
He had fangs. Fangs. Like a – vampire. He felt the hairs on his arms stand up and adrenaline rushing through his body. For a second he thought about reaching for the knife that was still tucked in the front pocket of his jeans. Fangs were meant for predators. To hunt. To hurt. To kill."Or: Steve goes to Eddie's abandoned trailer to look for something to comfort Dustin with.
He finds a lot more than he bargained for. -

“What happened to him?” Dustin stuttered, taking the words out of Eddie’s mouth, reaching down, and tearing them out of his heart, even.

How to Pretend You’re Not in Love with Your Best Friend (and Fail Miserably) by Yellove_8

Summary
Eddie Munson had lived through monsters before — real ones, with teeth and claws and a taste for blood. What he hadn’t prepared for was this: the way Steve Harrington kept pulling him into late-night conversations and half-lit car rides, like Eddie was supposed to know what to do with a heart that never stopped bruising.
It was supposed to be nothing. A slip, a laugh, a kiss that didn’t mean anything. Except Steve kept coming back, and Eddie kept letting him. Indiana still spat the same slurs, the newspapers still screamed about a plague in cities far away, and Eddie still knew better than to hope.
But hope had a habit of sneaking in anyway... tucked in the way Steve looked at him when he thought nobody else was watching.
—
Or: Eddie survived bats, Vecna, and Hawkins. What finally killed him was Steve “definitely straight, except when he isn’t” Harrington and his goddamn smile.

Call Me a Fool (When Night Comes Down) by That_Silly_Fox

Summary
Vecna is dead. Fried crispy, by all accounts. But that doesn't mean the Upside Down is done yet.
Steve, however, has other problems. Now that the Party made it out with everyone alive, his brain has developed the habit of reminding him that Eddie Munson exists. And that Steve might have a capital 'T' thing for him. A thing that is not capital 'P' platonic. Which he can totally handle. It's not like he'll do anything stupid, Steve knows better. Call him: Steve 'Rational' Harrington.
Maybe he should be thankful that they get a few months to figure out life again before it all goes to shit. Until he gets the phone call that drags him into the thick of it again. But maybe this is the last time. God, Steve really hopes this is the last time.
(OR: A 'what if...' Season 5, where Eddie Munson is a little worse for wear but a-okay and Steve Harrington has time to consider a few things)
(OR, OR: Summer is on the way, meaning movies, pool parties, and a few too many beers... At least until the Upside Down claws its way back, because this is Hawkins, Indiana, and stranger things will always happen)
(OR, OR, OR: The (Second) Vanishing of Will Byers)

Summary
The deaths in 86 and the earthquake left Hawkins a shattered shell of what it used to be. The near-ghost town occupied with things that haunt and hunt you, like bitter memories and living nightmares. When shadows crawl and familiar faces call out to you, who are you to deny the pull of fate?

Summary
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
Steve Harrington has a secret. It’s nothing bad like murder or drugs or anything, but catastrophic to his reputation enough that he doesn’t even tell Robin.
He knows logically that it’s also kind of stupid, considering the whole fighting monsters and getting tortured by russians part of his life. Nonetheless he will never admit this to anyone but himself.
Steve is a metalhead.

If death could only be something we could rewind (If I could hold my peace of mind) by Gypsywoman13

Summary
At least, he did a few things right that didn’t serve himself, but boy would it have been nice if he could’ve have taken more risks or played things more safe in other areas. If he could just rewind time like everyone said happens when they die with their life flashing before their eyes—Eddie let out one last breath and a tear as Dustin seemed to dim and fade away…
…
Eddie found himself standing outside himself, staring down at Dustin sobbing for Eddie to come back.
Click.
Everything paused.
It was eerie and still, and Eddie found himself looking around at the faint lines that seemed to run through everything and distort slightly. Without warning, there was another click and things began to rewind.

That is obvious.

The time is NOW.
With the help of the party, you formulate a plan to defeat the monster that tortures Hawkins once and for all.The path to saving the world is paved with monsters, magic, and more twists and turns than you can fathom.
OR:
Stranger Things Season 5, if the Duffers were to ask me to write it.

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?
