Summary
Post-Season 3, does not include Season 4 canon
In the aftermath of Starcourt, lives are fragmented. El is learning what it's like to be a normal human, Will is struggling to conceal an identity on the verge of unfortunate discovery (even from himself), Mike is floating in a world of change, Dustin is struggling to balance friendships and new opportunities, Lucas is blending into a town that never wanted him in the first place, and Max is unsuccessfully healing the hole in her heart as her family crumbles.
High school is the first beast other than a literal one that the entire Party will take on together. It is where their personalities will come to the surface, where their interests will no longer bond together but break them apart, and where their identities will morph into their new monsters. Can they learn to balance them, or will they let the weight of new experiences outweigh the old, worn memories of the past?
