Summary
The hope was that Vecna was dead, because a portal to Hell splitting Hawkins down the middle was a kinder reality than the one they lived in. Max had woken up, after all, so maybe miracles do happen, and whatever took place during Spring Break was the end of it. Luck was never on their side, though.
The anniversary of Will's disappearance looms over them, like a guillotine in the form of a ticking clock. They knew well enough that all it takes is one night for everything to go wrong. The crawl goes off-script, Hopper is M.I.A., and the Wheeler's house is in ruin.
Maybe what they need is a return to form; maybe Will needs to go back there, to the Upside Down, himself, to get the answers they're looking for.
Or;
The events of November 1987 are retold through the eyes of The Party, because it should have ended how it started.

Summary
It's summer in Hawkins. It has been a year since the possession, and Will Byers is doing his best to navigate through change. While everyone else seems busy falling in love, he forces a smile, desperately trying to be normal. He tries to keep up with his friends, holding onto the childhood they seem eager to leave behind. He swallows his frustrations, hiding the fear that never really left. His walls crumbling, and as he desperately tries to keep them standing, the Mind Flayer returns.
But despite everything, a boy—confident, athletic, and surprisingly nerdy—suddenly comes into his life. Chance Lawson inadvertently becomes Will’s friend, joining the Party (?), changing the course of his fate. He carries an easy confidence, but beneath it lies a cautious, sympathetic heart that understands Will’s silence. He steps in with a gentle warmth that feels completely new, proving to Will that he doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on his own.
Then, maybe Will’s summer wouldn’t be as awful as it could’ve been.

Over the past few months, Mike had grown. Jesus, had he grown.

Couldn’t stop staring when no one was looking.

Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"
Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."

//Marshall suddenly snickered. "Ah, that sounded rather ominous." He cocked his head, "If this were a movie, this would be the part where we tell you to keep this to yourself or I'll push you off the edge of the hayloft and let the piranha keep your silence. I know from experience that it's hard to hear you scream from back at the farmhouse." Both Maggie and Glenn were staring at him. "What? This is the apocalypse—not a movie!"//

Summary
"The stranger turns to him so fast that his braids move violently. He looks at him, and his face sours, those yellow eyes harden and makes Ao’nung want to posture to show that he is not defenseless. He hasn’t said a thing since he arrived, not a growl or hiss, but it’s clear he doesn’t need it. With his eyes alone he makes everyone around want to make themselves as little as possible."

Basically a what if story about what I think could happen if it were the Metkayina the ones looking for Uturu in the forest.
