    Summary

    With their car firmly embedded in the mysterious flesh wall, Nancy still refuses to leave the Upside Down with more problems and no solutions. She, Jonathan, Steve, and Dustin venture towards Hawkins Lab to scour for answers, but find more questions along the way.
    -----
    Come on, Henderson, you're really starting to freak me out here," Steve's voice wavered with concern once more and he reached a cautious hand out. "These bastards just goddamn Vecna'd themselves and you're just staring off into space like—"

    "For Christ's sake, I am not staring into space," Dustin finally responded. "Not unless you don't see that too."

    Dustin pointed up to one of the trees and turned to glare at Steve.

    Jonathan helped Nancy up as they moved closer to Dustin, hoping to follow his line of sight.

    Jonathan squinted his eyes, inspecting every barren, twisted tree branch. Icy dread found its way into his heart when he saw nothing. But just before the fear for Dustin's wellbeing could settle, the red lightning was back, shedding the much-needed light through the branches. And there it was.

    "Is that..." Nancy took a curious step closer. "A backpack?"

    Summary

    Hawkins survived the war.
    At least, that’s what Will Byers remembers.
    When the future they fought for begins to fracture at the edges, Will is forced to confront a terrible possibility: that peace was never a victory at all, but a lie built from his own mind. And waking up may cost them everything they thought they’d saved.

    ------------

    Re-writing the ending of Season 5, inspired loosely by Conformity Gate. Still on it but trying to write one chapter a day - I guess I will be done by end of this week. For the impatient, I finally got to the first Byler kiss in chapter 9!

    Summary

    The finale if the Duffer brothers weren't cowards.
    Basically El's death, just written better, and then, because I'm evil, another death.

    This is just sad. Literally. Depressing. Read at your own risk.

    If you ever need a cry, this is the pic for you.

    Summary

    It’s a chorus of confusion. Mike does not move. No one approaches him.

    And Will barely reacts. That alone, in Mike’s opinion, is damning.

    Mike holds tight to his gun, index finger on the trigger, and does not look away from Will’s face, not for a second. He does not explain himself, despite Hopper and Nancy and El and Mrs. Byers closing in on them, hovering as if a bomb was going to go off.

    Instead, the edge of a growl emerging, Mike speaks only to the monster: “Get out of Will now.”

    Summary

    He can feel the hive’s connection pushing him back, trying to expel him. It’s painful and despairing, but Will holds on anyway, clinging to the tether irrevocably connecting him to the man before him. “You were just a kid,” he exclaims desperately, voice breaking. “Like me.”
    -
    Will tilted his head, trying to absorb Mike’s words. “The point is, I want to stay by your side, and I feel stupid for not realizing it sooner. And I’m y’know…glad that you said what you did. It was kind of my missing puzzle piece. When this is all over, I hope we can talk.”

    Or

    My version of the finale with first shadow lore, byler, and creelby. Very focused on Will's connection to the Mind Flayer and the role Mike must play in order to save him.
