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 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.

Summary
Steve reaches across, palms Eddie’s cheek with a large hand, brushes his thumb under Eddie’s eye. He falls quiet again, eyes roaming over Eddie.
There’s a hint of sadness there, Eddie thinks.
Melancholy in the light of the moon.
*****
It's Steve and Eddie's last night in Hawkins before leaving for their new life in Chicago.
They spend it under the stars.

Summary
Three hopeless couples and one ex-lab child as a matchmaker. El discovers her friends are in need of advice and a plan, and out-Murrays Murray himself…what could possibly go wrong?

I wrote this after having a stroke of inspiration at one in the morning in, like, May. Thank you for all the love this has gotten!! I’m really proud of it and I love writing El’s character (though there are bits of Mike’s or Will’s perspectives as well because Mike’s is the easiest to write for me and because. Byler). I recommend listening to the songs that go with the chapter, too, playlist is linked below! Anyway have fun reading this, I always read the comments, even after it’s all posted I’ll check all the time.

Summary
The son of the Sun and the son of the Moon,
born to love their creators,
destined to love each other,
punished for their lack of divine devotion.
Treated by the stars and clouds,
reprimanded by time,
rewarded by the Eclipse. -

Summary
It’s dark, and it’s cold, and he’s lonely, so lonely. The concept of time just a memory of the past; hard to tell the passing of days without the rise of a sun.
Eddie, he says – maybe out loud, maybe just in his head – to remind himself of the name he once had before he became no one.
No one.

Summary
“Would you do me?”
Eddie nearly chokes on his own spit.
“Do- … What d’you- … Give you a piercing?”
“Of course,” Steve says, like it's no big deal. His hand rubs gentle circles into Eddie’s back to help him catch his breath. “Why, what were you thinking?”
Eddie doesn’t reply. He's a horny, gay loser with a hopeless crush, not an idiot.
“Am I hearing this right or is there something wrong with the weed?” he asks instead. “You, Steve Harrington, want me, Eddie Munson, to pierce your ears?”
Steve hesitates, and for a moment, Eddie is convinced that this is the part where he chickens out. Then, he sits up straighter. His face goes serious.
“Not my ears,” he says. “I had something else in mind. If you think you're up to it, that is.”

Summary
Then Mike spoke up.
“We should all go together,” he said, glancing around the table. His voice had that earnest edge it always did when he wanted to keep everyone united. “It’ll be like…the end of an era, you know?"
Everyone laughed. Everyone except Will.
He forced a small smile, hoping no one noticed the way his stomach clenched. “I’m not going,” he said quickly, before anyone could ask.
The table went quiet.
El tilted her head. “Why not?”
Will shrugged, eyes fixed on his tray. “Just not my thing.”
OR: The party is planning for their senior prom, but Will is not planning on going.

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.

California Dreamin' - Eddie Munson by hellfirehottie for bisexu_el

Summary
Nina: “Why do you love me, Eddie?”
Eddie: “You were like coming up for fresh air.” [playing with his rings nervously] “Life kinda blurred into one long day. And then I met you.” [looking at her lovingly] “And you brought me back to life. I felt like the old me again.”
Nina: “Do you think we’ll get through this?”
Eddie: “We have to.” [smiling at her] “I haven’t finished loving you yet.”
Eddie’s life didn’t change much after he returned from the upside down. People still hated him, blamed him, and he retreated to a shell of his former self. Life passed him by, blurring into the same everyday routine. Until Nina, Robin’s ‘sort-of’ cousin arrives in Hawkins.
Fleeing from her past in California, Nina’s world is turned upside down (no pun intended) as she falls head over heels for the freak of Hawkins.
Can these two lost souls find peace with each other, or will the demons of their past come back for them?

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. -

Summary
When Eddie gets a call from a frazzled Robin that Steve is somehow four years old, he rushes over to help.
When he sees tiny Steve all quiet and unlike himself, he decides immediately that he's stealing him.
What could go wrong?

Summary
Steve had always thought of himself as sunlight—steady, bright, a little too much sometimes. But next to Eddie, he finally understood what it meant to orbit something greater. Eddie was the moon: quiet and luminous, untouchable yet constant, pulling tides he never knew existed inside him. And Steve, for the first time in his life, was content to burn if it meant keeping that glow close.

Summary
He doesn’t even bother to get out at first, just sitting there, fingers drumming against the wheel, staring at the front door like maybe the answer will appear in the peeling paint or the chipped screen. Maybe Steve will just appear in the doorway and explain it all.
Of course, no one appears.Or
Eddie fucked up and he doesn't know how -

Summary
“Steve, are you…okay?” Eddie watches as Steve shivers violently, making a pained noise in his throat. He’s been off tonight. Kind of quiet. Everyone assumed he had a migraine and just left him alone, but now that it’s just them, Eddie’s a bit more worried.
This is definitely not just a migraine.
“Fine. You heading out soon?” Steve sounds choked up, like he has something stuck in his throat.
“I can if you want me to,” Eddie tries not to sound upset at the fact Steve seems to want him gone. He must be coming down with something more serious. “Are you gonna be okay if I go?”

Summary
The crawl into the other place is agonizingly slow. He pushes his way into it one inch at a time, tail rustling on leaves, wings catching on twigs and branches, claws digging through moss and earth. In the dark, something small and frightened and alive scatters off into the underbrush. He can feel the frantic thrumthrumthrum of its heart in the air, can taste the delicious coppery red of its blood on his tongue, can feel the tingle in his fangs as they itch to bury themselves in its flesh. It would be easy, catching it, but he lets it run. His time is limited, and he has more important things on his mind.
The silver circle lights his way, but even without it, he would know where to go. The pull is strong, and he knows they both feel it.
Him and his mate.
