Summary
“Mike..” he says softly. Mike looks at him. Will raises a hand to his cheek, suddenly not caring for anyone else. But Mike flinches the moment it makes contact, so instead he settles it on Mike’s knee. “Are you okay?”
(No, you idiot, he thinks. Of course he’s not okay. He’s cursed and no one knew! You didn’t even know Vecna was close. That is such a stupid question)
Mike opens his mouth to respond, but nothing comes out. He looks so lost, it scares Will.
Max chews on her nail as Lucas keeps crossing and uncrossing his arms, and Will knows it’s probably killing Dustin to stay quiet. El is close to tears.
(His own eyes burn too)
Will’s about to call his name again but then Mike cracks a small smile and says: “I think we defeated Vecna.”
Or, Vecna is defeated- wait, did he self destruct?

Summary
This was a terrible idea.
And Eddie would know, he's made a plethora of terrible ideas. Like when he left a tea towel on the stove top to warm it up, only to find that there are a lot more plastic fibers stitched into it than he thought. Or when he was too lazy to lean forward from his place on the couch to the ash tray on the coffee table, tossing a cigarette in its direction, overshooting it, and burning a hole into the carpet. Or even the time when there was a nest of spiders in the bathroom and Eddie, high off his ass, thought using some hairspray and a lighter would be the best pest control any trailer trash could have. Looking back at it, all of his terrible mistakes had something to do with fire and that was something he would prefer not to look into.
All to say, Eddie is an expert at bad ideas. And this? This is one of them.
Because Eddie was stuck, suspended fifty feet in the air, trapped in a Ferris Wheel car.

Summary
Eddie Munson had always considered himself a guy with a sense of humor.
But since he’d been turned into that half-assed, half-baked kind of vampire spawn by those goddamn demobats, he wasn’t so sure anymore.
Popular imagination made vampires look cool.
Sexy. Powerful. Dark princes of the night.
But the truth? Bullshit.
The game wasn’t worth the candle.
Not until you had slammed yourself into his life on a quiet September night, wrecking his careful balance just by existing. -

Summary
Max turned in the direction of the headstone as well. “Why would seeing someone’s name on there freak you out so much, Will. Jesus, I thought Vecna had you and I don’t have your music with me. I thought you were about to die, and I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be, Byers, just tell me what's going on.”
Will just then found his mouth very dry and a lump set in his throat. Suddenly, all the words in his mouth died and he simply stared straight ahead.
“Will.” Max said softly after a few seconds. “Who’s grave is it?”
Will forced the lump down his throat as he answered her.
“It’s mine.”

Summary
Everyone saw it. Everyone. Big, red letters spray-painted clear as day on his locker. Every single person would know now that he-
Think. People are going to start thinking that he was queer. And no matter how much he denied it, no one would believe him.
He was so fucked.
--
Vecna is gone, the party is back together, and the Byers have officially moved back to Hawkins. The whole party is excited for things to finally get back to normal, but no one is more ecstatic than Mike.
When Will finds that adjusting to being back in Hawkins is proving more difficult than he imagined, Mike swears to him that "we're a team" wasn't a joke.
They'd been doing a good job thus far at keeping Will's issues a secret from the party, but they can't really hide a locker being defaced.

Summary
Long ago a cryptid was brought into existence by a powerful witch, created to protect her from anyone that intended to bring her harm. Tied to the bloodline, her shapeshifting guardian kept watch over her descendants for hundreds of years, until the day a witch turned her back on the practice, breaking the connection to her familiar. Without that bond intact, his powers remained but he was unable to keep any future witches safe from harm.
Decades passed where all he could do was watch from a distance. Until one day a son was born into the bloodline, the first in its history. With this new change came the hope that the boy would be the key to fixing what was broken and restoring the power that had been lost.

Summary
"Eddie's got a friend today. Her name's Ronnie. So I decided to give them some space." Steve sighed. "It's actually kind of funny. When they hugged I felt myself get jealous. In that way I did when I saw Nancy and Jonathan together." Max would definitely be flaming him right now if she could.

Summary
Darkness swallowed his vision, Dustin's heartbroken sobs fading to complete and utter silence. The pain in his sides ebbed away to numbness, cold seeping through his bones. The smell of his own blood pooling under him faded to non-existence. His thoughts, usually a constant untamable flow of nonsense, shrunk to only one singular realization.
"This is it."
Edward Munson, the freak of Hawkins high, is wholly and truly gone. Left behind by his friends in the panicked chaos of their escape from the Upside Down, his body lays cold and broken as a testament to his life being over.
So why does he wake up, alive and breathing, in the Upside Down?
And why is Hargrove there?

Summary
„Eddie, we’re gonna get you to a hospital, okay? We’re gonna get you help, just stay with us."
„Fuck, fuck, fuck, shit, Steve, careful!“
Steve’s head was spinning. They were almost at the trailer. His wrists were aching, his muscles threatening to give out.Or: i rewatched season 4 and was so upset at the ending i wrote my own.
They save Eddie – but not with Steve heroically carrying him out bridal-style. A little more complicated than that. -

Summary
The thing that Dustin never realized was that Mike was the glue to the party. When Will had left for California, the party still stood, when he was at summer camp, the party still stood, and when Lucas was gone for basketball practice, the party still stood. When it broke up from Max and El, it still stood strong because it was Mike who held them together. He had said that at his funeral, that despite everything they’d gone through, all their struggles and turmoils, Mike held them together because that’s who he was.
It was woefully ironic that the one person who had to be out of Hawkins when the Upside Down came back was killed in California by a government agent.
