Summary
The plan was simple.
Get Will close to the gate at Lover’s Lake.
Let Eleven piggyback into the hive mind.
Find Max. Find Holly. Bring them home.
The plan was simple and it still went to shit.
Now Will, El, and Max are forced to rely on what remains of Henry Creel to help them navigate the labyrinth of memories to escape the Hive Mind.
Joyce and Hopper have now lost both of their sons to the Upside Down, but this time they're taking matters into their own hands.
Nancy has now lost the two people she's been pushing away, and is forced to face the devastating reality of the independence she's asserted.
And the boys are forced to come together in order to find the long-dormant answers held within their party's quietest members.
Old wounds resurface, truths long avoided come into focus, and the question none of them are ready to answer begins to take shape:
What happens when the only way to save the world is to understand the ones who broke it open?

Summary
It wasn't so bad.
It was like Star Wars.
Mike loved Star Wars.
Except-
Luke hadn’t just realized he was Force-sensitive less than a day prior.
Leia hadn’t been raised by the Empire.
And Han Solo definitely hadn’t been the idiot who accidentally told Luke and Leia their father was Darth Vader.OR
Will and El are the last ones to learn of the devastating news uncovered in the files.
And Will Byers gets the crash out he deserves.Don't worry, the tree he threw wasn't even a good one.

Summary
The demogorgon does not die quietly. It dies inside Will.
In the aftermath of the Mac-Z attack, Will Byers realizes that fighting back awakened something he never knew he had. The power that answered him is not something he understands. It refuses to stay quiet.
Vecna left him alive. The military watches too closely. The Upside Down presses closer to the surface.
And somewhere beneath it all, something has been waiting for him to answer.

Summary
Every instinct screamed at him to move, to pivot hard on his heel, trap the gun arm, shove the barrel off line, and go for his own weapon before the other person could react.
His body had already begun running the motions in the back of his mind, but something in the angle of the pressure against his neck stopped him.
The barrel wasn’t level. It wasn’t aligned straight across the base of his spine the way it would have been if the shooter stood at equal height.
Instead, it pressed slightly upward. Whoever held the gun had to lift their arm higher than natural to reach him. The geometry was wrong for a grown soldier. Hopper kept that detail filed away, muscles locked in place, forcing himself not to move while his mind quietly adjusted the picture of the smaller person standing behind him.Five years ago, Will Byers vanished in the Upside Down.
The time does not pass gently. Will begin to lose pieces of himself, memories, proof that his mind is unraveling even as his body learns to endure. But what happens when the man who swore to find him all those years ago finally lives up to that promise.Bookmarked by mintpolo

Summary
"This whole situation, from the very start, had been nothing but a mother’s worst nightmare. And now, as she stands in the middle of this cold, daunting, room, she is forced to experience a single mother’s worst nightmare: having to explain to a stranger that the man beside her is not her son’s father."
Or
What if the first time we see Dr. Owens refer to Hopper as Will's dad wasn't the first time it happened?
Or Or
Any excuse to write about dad!hopper.
