Summary
This takes place after the events of Season 3. Rewriting all of Seasons 4 and 5 in my own way because the Duffer’s ending sucked ass.
With Hopper’s “death”, Joyce takes El in as one of her own and doesn’t move to California. Will and El both start having weird visions, similar but different to the ones they had before. They figure out their visions along the start of freshman year of high school, hiding this all away from the party and their parents. As the year progresses, weird things start happening. Random deaths? Missing children? Nothing feels right, or does it feel like the same as before?
Who knows, maybe it’s just an unclear vision they both had.

Summary
Mike Wheeler keeps running away from his feelings. Feelings that’ll cost him his relationships. The same feelings he’s felt since middle school. Not to mention, he’s also reverting back to his old ‘delinquent’ ways. He’s acting out: cussing at teachers, letting his grades slip, ignoring his friends, family, and girlfriend.
But, one scolding later, he’s now forced to balance school and his new job at Scoops Ahoy. Oh, and The Upside Down is still a problem.
OR
A season 4 fix-it, with Mike Wheeler and Max Mayfield working at Scoops Ahoy—except, Hopper was never kidnapped and the Byers still live in Hawkins.

Summary
“Mr. Byers! I was hoping to catch you. This is Dr. Owens, from Hawkins National Laboratory.”
Will pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance, already feeling a headache beginning to form in his temples. "I’m kind of in the middle of a lecture here, can this wait?”
“I’m afraid it can’t. We need your assistance urgently.”
“And why do you need me?” Will was unable to suppress the bitterness in his tone, “You’ve got plenty of experts and doctors on your staff. I’m just a grad student, and I’m halfway across the country. What could I possibly do that no one else could?”
Dr. Owens cleared his throat on the other end of the line, “You’re the only one who’s been there and made it out alive. Honestly, we could use your expertise. We’ve caught a specimen. A live one. And you’re definitely going to want to see this.”
Or, it's 1998 and the Upside Down is still alive and kicking, and something new just came out.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”
—
Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?
