Summary
His voice grows soft, almost longing, as he leans in closer. His breath ghosts over Will's face, and it smells like the Upside Down does—dead, empty. "You, William… when you entered my mind, that is when I knew I had to have you again. That is when I knew I got it right that first night, when Eleven reopened the portal. I heard you calling for me, even across dimensions—"
"I—I wasn't," Will cuts in, a tremor to his voice. "I never wanted any of this. You're insane!"
"—sometimes we aren't conscious of what we ask for," Henry smiles then, and his hand moves, thumb shifting to press against Will's mouth. He tightens his lips in response, thinking about that vine down his throat, frozen solid. "How do you think I knew which children to pluck from their homes, which ones to save? There is a connection between all of us that goes beyond what Brenner could do out of every number. When that gate opened, I already knew what I had to do. I had planned it for years. I dreamed of someone like you, and you, in turn, became mine—"
"Stop," Will begs.
----------------------
A Nosferatu (2024)-style retelling of the last few episodes of Stranger Things, focused on Will and Henry's cosmic connection.

Summary
Eddie’s never been a morning person– ignoring the fact that it’s technically the afternoon now– but he thinks the sight of Max cradling El next to a broken skateboard warrants him to pick up the pace a bit. So he sets his mug of coffee down in the grass and takes off at a quick jog, hoping against everything that they won’t be taking anyone to the hospital.
When Eddie makes his way to stand behind Max and take in the scene before him, he thinks maybe they won’t get so lucky.
OR: El breaks her wrist, and everyone gets to have a heart-to-heart at the hospital
