Summary
In which, happy and well-adjusted just doesn't last in Beacon Hills.
Ophelia Connor (our 'happy and well-adjusted') is starting her senior year and is, honestly, really excited about it all.... really.
Finding out that she was a witch?
Slightly less so, but she can roll with it, she's always looked good in a hat.
— but watching a hulking monster, with red eyes, tear down the street like some horror movie cliché, however, was a firm 'fuck no.'

Summary
He drowns in his sleep even as he breathes.
He died once, in an ocean of deep, dark blue with no warmth or light to be found.
He remembers it, in a hazy fever dream kind of way, the water as it waved through his hair like greedy fingers trying to pull him down, the way his head felt like exploding and his lungs seized on used-up air; the way it rushed eagerly into his mouth when he couldn’t stand the burning any longer— the way it stole the very breath from his lungs like a gluttonous parasite.And then—
He woke up.
He wakes in a rickety bed, in a too-small room, with more bodies than space, and a Matron calling him by a different name than his own. He wakes to a face that wasn’t his, in a body that wasn’t right, and to a life he's never lived and wonders— just for a second, as he stares at his reflection and his reflection stares accusingly back— if he’s gone mad.
Or alternately:
When the last strangled gasp of air escaped his lungs, Andy Bovino breathed his last— and András Bonello, son of the Wine God, breathes his first. -

Summary
"Don't stop, you hear me, you don't stop 'till you make it over state lines"
Running, that's all Ash has known, from Washington state to Beacon Hills California, it's a never-ending trek.
"...find the Nemeton, you find that, you find safety."
The only thing keeping her going is a promise.
"I need you to be safe, promise me."
__Find the Nemeton.
That's all Ash had set out to do, find the Nemeton and hope could find safety among its far-reaching roots; after that, the rest was guesswork.
Learning how to live again—however—was an added side benefit.
__From the ashes of Washington state, to the small town of Beacon Hills, Ash never expected to make it this far.
—and lying here, watching him study for their midterms, she can't help but be grateful that she did.

"What're you doing here?"
"I work here; what're you doing here?"
"....hanging out?"
"In a Cemetery?"
Or:
Mary-Alice is a witch who refuses to practice and just wants to protect her brother from the world, but living in Beacon Hills is like living in that one horror movie where everything is trying to kill you and nothing makes sense.But hey, at least no one ever thinks to check the graveyard.

Summary
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you," —Mia Angelou
In the end, she’s alive, and he’s dead.
In the end, she’s standing in a burning field of her own making, surrounded by the dead bodies of comrades and enemies alike.
In the end… she’s left alone with corpses and a dying brother in a field of fire and blood, with a victory that feels like loss and a triumph that feels like sorrow and grief.

Summary
In the Spring of 1986, the town of Hawkins is finally starting to heal from the fire that burned down Starcourt Mall and killed many of its best citizens a year prior.
However, when Jonathan Byers returns to Hawkins for Spring Break, he finds himself caught up in a cosmic mystery that sends him on the run and reopens old wounds the town had thought were finally closed.
Max Mayfield is seeing things. She wanders the halls of Hawkins High as a loner, separated from her old party, as much as they might try to get her back into their circle. Doubly so for Lucas, a basketball rookie who still wants her back more than anything else.
In the meantime, El is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her boyfriend, Dustin in Lenora Hills, California to visit her and Will. What starts as an innocent Spring Break adventure, a reprieve from her struggle to assimilate as easily as her brother, quickly turns into a nightmare when El gets herself into trouble and a familiar face whisks her away, leaving Dustin, Will, and Joyce no choice but to follow her.

Summary
Purity and innocence, rebirth and resurrection, majesty and beauty. Wednesday’s eyes first find the cantor lilies by her hospital bed, the shadowed cousin of the calla lily. The symbolism of the flowers rises to the front of her mind, unbidden. And that’s when she sees Tyler at her bedside, slumped in a chair, scrubs askew.
What if Tyler had been cogent enough to tell someone about the dark methods Laurel used to manipulate him? What if instead of reigniting their enmity, the escape at Willow Hill brought Wednesday and Tyler closer together?
