Summary
In the frozen depths of a Soviet prison, Jim Hopper and Billy Hargrove (both presumed dead after Starcourt) find themselves sharing a cell, their survival forged in shared trauma and unexpected connection. As Hopper's protective instincts clash with Billy's haunted defiance, walls crumble, revealing vulnerabilities and a raw, dominant passion that heals as much as it ignites.

It’s easy to fall for the tricks, the lies of someone who is gentle with you, someone who treats you like you are the most beautiful person to walk the planet, it’s so easy to make a mistake when that mistake tastes like color.

Stranger Things - Chapter Two: Welcome To... Hawkins by St_BuckyBarnes
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
What if the monsters never really left?
Years after the Upside Down fell silent, Hawkins is still haunted—just not by what you’d expect. Billy Hargrove, once thought dead, now wears a badge and a past too heavy to carry. His daughter, Evelyn, hates him, and perhaps she has every reason to. Jamie Munson, son of a town martyr, drags his ghosts through the hallways of Hawkins High.
This is a story about what’s left behind. About the kind of rot that grows in quiet places. And about the kids who grew up in the shadows of legends, trying to survive the aftermath.
Monsters change shape. Trauma doesn’t.

Summary
March 27th, 1986. For a minute, I was glad you wouldn’t hear my name on the news tomorrow morning like I did yours. I just went on existential strike, somewhere caught in not wanting to be alive and not wanting to off myself because I promised myself I’d keep an eye on Max. Someone had to–-hell, I could practically feel you threatening me from the grave if I didn’t. And maybe that’s why I did it. More likely, it was just some pathetic way to keep you around. I’m just a guy, I wasn’t supposed to be grieving the love of my life at a ripe old nineteen years old. Guess I’m still grieving now, at twenty.
I did my best. I hope you know that, California–I did my fucking best. Fuck, I don’t even cringe away at Kate Bush anymore… I just hope it meant something. I hope she made it.
Sorry, though. You’ll have to tell Chrissy sorry for me. I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it myself.
A rewrite between the lines of seasons 2 to 4 through Eddie's eyes as journal entries, for everyone like me wanting a longer Mungrove fic without it turning into Metalsandwich. (Sorry Steve). Title is from New Dawn Fades by Joy Division.

Summary
They stare at each other. Or, rather, Eddie stares, from his perch on the narrow window sill, feet planted on the edges of the trash can below. Billy just leans casually against the door and watches him, another of those toothpicks dangling between his teeth. He doesn’t seem surprised in the slightest to find Eddie inside.

Summary
There's a rustle behind them.
Mike wheels around, thinking, hoping, for a split second that it's Will. But no.
It's a girl about their age. Her hair is buzzed. She's wearing nothing but a hospital gown and she's covered in dirt. There's a dark mark on her wrists. Steve moves to get between them and the tiny girl.
"You ok kid?" Steve asks her tentatively. She stares.
"Not safe," she replies.
Mike ducks under Steve's armpit. "What's not safe?" He asks.
"Me," she says. She cocks two fingers to her temple and makes a firing motion, and lolls her head back in a bang-up impression of someone dying.
