Summary
Dustin has been reckless and closed off since Eddie's death, Steve handles it as well as an emotionally constipated 20 year old can, but things with the Upside Down don't wait for them to get their shit together, they need to figure out how to bring Vecna too his knees, and soon; but when the assumptions they've built their foundation on crumbles, and they can tell upside from down no longer, how will they get through it? What lurks in the shadows of that other dimension and do they stand a chance?
Started this before season five came out, it's basically an alternative to it. The question I was desperate to see answered in the show never really was; how horrifying could the upside down be? I always saw ST as a horror show on the side, they are good at it! I wanted to make it more creepy tho, and I desperately wanted more Dustin and Steve!! So here we have grieving traumatised Dustin, a doing his best, but I'm not perfect Steve. Voice of reason Nancy, Robin is there for comfort. A comfort gay. The party is here, Hopper is here, everyone is here - except Eddie - and they are familyyyy.

Summary
"Jane never thought she would live to see her friends graduate. She had hoped, sure, but a part of her always felt like the future she had dreamed of could disappear at any moment. And yet, here she was, wearing her nice purple dress, sitting between Joyce and Hopper on the bleachers while her friends were merging into a sea of orange graduation caps."
Jane survived the final battle and went on to live life as a regular teen. She spent the last 18 months discovering who she is and what she wants in life. Hopper asked Dustin Henderson to help tutor Jane as she navigates homeschool, and the pair grows closer. Now Dustin is invited to the biggest party of the year by the hottest girl at Hawkins High. Maybe a party is just the right setting for the lines of love and friendship to blur between them.
