Summary
Strange things were always happening in Hawkins, Indiana. Kidnappings, murders, disappearances . . . the 80s classics. But this time is different. This time, homes are melting into the ground, ash is falling like snow, and soldiers roam every street, hunting for something they can't name. This time, mothers swear they saw men with flowery heads eating out of trash cans at night and fathers go to work in hazmat suits.
This time, the lightning between thunderclouds is red.
Strange things were always happening in Hawkins, Indiana.
But there are stranger things, still.
***
In which I attempt to right the wrongs of Stranger Things Season 5 in the true sci-fi horror spirit of previous seasons.

Summary
Will raised an eyebrow at his friend's antics, then dropped his eyes to where he knew Dustin had reached a hand out towards him.
“This summer, we stick together. You and me, Byers.”
Will grinned, taking Dustin’s hand and shaking it. “You and me, Henderson.”
A rewrite of S3:
The night Dustin gets back from Camp Knowhere, he brings the Party up to the highest point in Hawkins to set up Cerebro. He thought that his friends would be excited to have him back-- even if it wasn't the most entertaining to sit on a hill and talk into a radio with no response, he thought they would at least wait for him before going home. He thought it was going to be the best summer ever.
Instead, he finds himself and the one friend that didn't leave him, Will Byers, intercepting a weird Russian transmission.
And, well... if he couldn't have the best summer ever, at least he and Will would have an eventful one.

Summary
Will never thought his life would play out like a film. He was just the background noise, the extra on set. He never expected to be the kind of person movies make the main character. The kind of person who gets swept up in a story to be told.
Then Mike showed up, and the scenes started feeling like they were his.
~
or: Will Byers moves to Hawkins from California, gets an after-school job at the video rental store, and meets Mike Wheeler — who, it turns out, might be checking out more than just movies.

Summary
“Did you know?” he asked at the last moment, voice cracked and warbly from crying. He hadn’t sounded that young in years.
She hesitated for one painstaking moment, and at last replied, “No, Mike.”
She almost closed the door, but stopped again.
“I am sorry,” she whispered, remorse staining her voice, and quietly closed the door behind her.
Three days after graduation, Will disappeared in the dead of night with nothing but a note left in his absence, and Mike's heart left with him.
