Summary
Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.
Having sold their house in Hawkins a year prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.
Mike had kindly offered up their place during Nancy’s graduation dinner.

The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV (with a season five rewrite because what the fuck!)
Also known as the answer to Mikewhatthefuckdidyoudo gate
Steve "the ally" Harrington is to Mike what Robin is to Will

Summary
"I have Ms. Kelly today," Max says, almost bitterly. "You'll be okay at lunch without me?" she says it sarcastically, like a joke, but there's an undercurrent of something else in her voice; for a moment, she almost sounds scared.
Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"
Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."
~~
or: a shared tragedy brings max and will together for their first year of high school in hawkins. they stay together, even as their demons rise again. a s4 rewrite, in which joyce is the one who dies at the end of s3 and thus the byers + el never move.

Summary
In the aftermath of the massacre at MAC-Z, Will discovers his newfound powers and how he can utilize them to help his friends. But with the increase of dissonant whispers in his head, along with memories that are not his own, he finds out that these powers come with a steep cost. The rest of the group will need to come together and face their fears to save Hawkins and finally defeat Vecna. Through this, they'll finally answer the question: can love defeat fear?
Or
How I think season 5 vol 2 and 3 of Stranger Things could have played out if they included The First Shadow, fleshed out their characters a bit more, and took more risks.

Summary
“I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.
“It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.
“Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”
Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”
Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.
or: season 5 vol 2 and 3 complete rewrite

Summary
Months after the Battle of Starcourt, friendships fracture, coping mechanisms collide, and the Party exists in pieces rather than a whole. While Mike and Dustin plunge into Hellfire, Lucas straddles the worlds of basketball and loyalty, and Max quietly unravels beside Will in therapy, Will retreats inward, haunted by guilt, jealousy, and the looming weight of November 6th. When an unexpected invitation pulls him into Hawkins High’s cheerleading orbit, Will is forced to confront visibility, identity, and the terrifying possibility that he might still belong somewhere. As old wounds ache and new fault lines form, Hawkins holds its breath—waiting to see what, or who, will break next.
