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
Eddie Munson had always considered himself a guy with a sense of humor.
But since he’d been turned into that half-assed, half-baked kind of vampire spawn by those goddamn demobats, he wasn’t so sure anymore.
Popular imagination made vampires look cool.
Sexy. Powerful. Dark princes of the night.
But the truth? Bullshit.
The game wasn’t worth the candle.
Not until you had slammed yourself into his life on a quiet September night, wrecking his careful balance just by existing. -

Summary
Erica, being utterly responsible, declared she was only interested in the high-stakes games. “I need a plushie that’s worth the bus fare. You two losers can watch my wallet.” She shoved a work leather pouch at Steve.
Which left Steve and Eddie wandering the park alone, clutching Erica’s money and trying to look like they hadn’t just been abandoned by a thirteen-year-old.
“So, King Steve, what’s your poison?” Eddie asked, gesturing to the rows of impossible-to-win games.
or the one in which Steve and Eddie go to a theme park and hold hands out of terror.

Summary
The world shifts with the downward compression on that chest as he counts the rhythm—
Alongside the disappearance of everything. The screaming, the lightning—gone. Only black.
But worse: there’s no body under his hands. His heart chokes him, merciless—then he sees it.
Not the body he’d been saving, but a body. In a hospital gown. Hair shaved. Young.
“Who are you?” He asks, but it’s…pretty obvious.
“I am Seven. Lucky, isn’t it?”
See: obvious.
Fucking maddening, but obvious.
—
Wherein Steve makes a bet with a game-obsessed semi-sociopathic test subject who promises to heal Eddie (and reveals he and Steve might be destined to mean everything to each other, which: what the fuck?)—on two conditions.
No one can know Eddie’s alive. And Steve can’t be seen mourning a loss that isn’t real.
Cue all the Party™ drama, gut-wrenching confessions into the ether (?), existential breakdowns, mirror-based
sexingcommunication, deals maybe/maybe-not upheld, and all the undying-star-crossed-hope you’d expect from striking a bargain in the Upside Down for the survival of the quite-possible love of your life. -

Summary
When Lanah Harrington was plopped down in the middle of Hawkins, a small town in Indiana, the only thing she was looking forward to was reconnecting with her cousin, Steve. After all, armed with crippling social anxiety, she could barely leave his house. But when he convinces her to step outside her comfort zone and get a job at a local auto shop, her world gets turned upside down. Because now, she's met Eddie, a fellow mechanic who seems determined to break her out of her shell and out into the real world, one conversation at a time.
Set approximately 10 years after the events of Stranger Things 4.

Summary
Chrissy wakes up in the morgue. Eddie wakes up in hell.
They were supposed to be dead—she was the first, he was the last—but something went wrong. Now Chrissy’s bones don’t fit right and Eddie’s teeth ache for blood. The town has cracked open like a rotten egg, and Hawkins is crawling with things that shouldn’t be moving. Including them.
Hunger gnaws. Memory blurs. Every step forward feels like chasing a ghost—until they run into each other in the dark.
What’s left of love, when your heart doesn’t beat?
What’s left of you, when you’re still hungry?

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.

Summary

Summary
Max was still in a coma as the gates were still open, but there were no signs of interdimensional monsters or Vecna.
The party had to go back to school for their final year. Will was not so thrilled about it; in fact, he dreaded it. Until he crossed paths with a mysterious basketball player who almost made him forget about Mike. Almost. Because, let’s be honest, how could he? -

Summary
1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.
Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.
OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

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.

Give and take.
An endless cycle, really; to love is to lose, and to lose means to have loved at one point.
