    Summary

    The party has since gone their separate ways, with all roads leading far away from Hawkins.

    Except for Mike. For two years, he's stewed in his childhood bedroom, tapping uselessly away at his dusty typewriter. Will has been the only one who kept in touch, sending him letters, paired with the occasional call.

    Mike has clung to this- clung to him.

    At the start of summer break, he flies down to New York City, a CD filled with words he couldn't bear to say himself stuffed in his luggage.

    Will has changed. Mike hasn't.

    At least that's what they believe.

    OR,

    Mike visits Will over summer break, and they spend a week living together in a dorm.

    Summary

    Apocalyptic psychological horror/queer romance tragedy rewrite of Stranger Things Season 5.

    Written in screenwriting/hybrid-prose.

    Hawkins is being torn apart; it does not heal. Loss continues to linger in the air.

    As Vecna's plan to corrupt Hawkins reaches its endgame, Will Byers finds himself at the centre of the corruption, both in heart and mind. Bound to the Upside Down and to Vecna himself, Will is forced to confront the severe cost of repression, survival and love, no matter how painful it may be.

    Central to this is Mike Wheeler, who is tortured by his own repression, both internally and externally. He refuses to let his fear or silence take control of his and Will's story, even as the dangerous truth threatens to shatter their world.

    The Core Four are central to the story; Eleven embraces her emotional maturity and becomes shaped by loss rather then raw power and the Upside Down becomes increasingly invasive as the story progresses.

    This is a story about choosing the truth over the safety of lies, sacrifice without the glory and what it means to actually survive.

    Summary

    “Well… You know… Fuck it, I’ll take you camping then,” the smile slipped off of his stupid fucking face as he realized what the fuck he had just said. What he had just fucking offered.

    By the stunned look on Chrissy’s face, he knew that his stupid fucking mouth went too far this time. What the fuck was he thinking!? Oh yeah, she’d definitely go along with this fucking plan. She had to have been itching for him, the fucking King of the Freaks, to take her, the gorgeous and popular head cheerleader and Queen of Hawkins High, on a fucking camping trip for a fucking week during fucking spring break—

    “Okay…”

    “Huh?”


    Or... Maybe all it takes is one van and one big sleeping bag for two people escape the curse of Hawkins for a week.

    Summary

    Summer 2000

    When Jaxsper Finn's best friend secretly submits him to a reality show featuring three famous brothers, he expects six weeks of awkward coexistence. What he doesn't expect is Taylor—charming, vulnerable, and just as trapped by the cameras as Jaxsper is.

    As their connection deepens under constant surveillance, Jaxsper discovers that reality TV is anything but real. Every moment is filmed, edited, and packaged for consumption. And when their secret relationship threatens both Taylor's carefully managed career and the show's explosive storyline, Jaxsper faces an impossible choice: protect what they have by fading into invisibility, or fight for visibility in a world that isn't ready to see them.

    Set against the backdrop of early 2000s pop culture, The Real World: Hanson is a story about privacy, performance, and the price of being seen—or choosing not to be.

    IMPORTANT: This is original fiction with original characters, NOT Real Person Fiction. While characters share names with real people, they are entirely fictional creations in a fictional scenario.

    Summary

    "The world is bracing for Y2K. Anna is bracing for betrayal."

    It's 1999 in Szczecin, Poland. Anna, nineteen and scarred, starts a new diary the moment she realizes she's in real, terrifying love with Marek – the first boy who stays. He’s kind, steady, green-flag perfect. She’s a walking landmine of jealousy, buried trauma, and self-sabotage.
    As the millennium clock ticks, Anna must confront her obsession before it destroys the only healthy thing she's ever had.

    A raw, darkly funny epistolary dive into healing, trust, and the fear of deserving better. No villains, no dark romance tropes – just two damaged people trying to be gentle with each other.

    Content notes: Past non-consensual experiences (mentioned, not graphic), anxiety, body image issues, jealousy.

    Summary

    Running away is easy.
    Especially from Demogorgons.
    Running away from yourself is harder.
    And running away from your feelings is impossible.
    Especially when they involve Robin Buckley.

    ✦••──────────•• ✧ ••──────────••✦

    Nick Harrington ran because staying stopped being an option.

    Home stopped being safe the moment she realized who she was and who she wasn't allowed to be. Running was easier than explaining. Easier than asking for permission to exist. Easier than staying still long enough to be questioned.

    So she runs to the only person who might accept her.
    Her cousin, Steve.

    Unfortunately, Hawkins is ground zero for interdimensional horror.

    Dragged into the Upside Down mess she never asked for, Nick discovers that fear is familiar territory. She's good at surviving. Good at escaping. Good at running from monsters with teeth and claws and too many legs.

    What she wasn't prepared for was Robin Buckley.

    Summary

    Enj,
    It’s okay if you hate me now. I would hate me too— there’s something about this that just feels so cowardly. I couldn’t say any of it to your face. This box has been sitting in my closet for about eight months, and I just couldn’t bring myself to send it. I threw this in at the last minute, obviously (you know me, always procrastinating). I just need you to know that I don’t hate you; I never have, and I never will.
    Inside of this letter, you must have found the CD I made you. It’s silly, I know, and definitely a little MySpace of me, but I always loved showing you music, and burning you CDs, and, well, old habits really die hard. I still sometimes find myself reaching for my phone to say goodnight to you. I still find myself wearing your old shirts. I know that I’m the one that did this— not just to myself, but to both of us—, and in all honesty (you know how hard it is for me to be honest with anybody, let alone you; let alone myself), I regret it.

     

     

     

    Yours, in the ranks of death,
    R

    Summary

    Mike nodded his head. "I guess I just- care about him. So much it's overwhelming." he finally looked up at his friend. "It feels like I've known him my entire life. From the very second that I saw him on November 6th, he was already so- important to me. I felt this connection with him. And I don't understand why. It's like he was sent specifically for me that day. For me to protect him. But from what? I don't know."

    or

    It was November 6th, 1986 when Mike Wheeler met a boy named Will Byers. From that moment, he felt connected to him, but couldn't understand why. Mike's jealousy and overprotectiveness was making him lose his mind, as well as fall in love with his newfound friend.

    Summary

    In a way, Mike envied Will. Or maybe envy wasn’t the right word, it was a feeling he couldn’t quite place. A weight on his chest, the tight squeeze of his heart. It was a dilemma that had seemed to follow him since he hit puberty, a doubt that rolled off his tongue only when it was in his girlfriend’s mouth.

    Or

    Mike and Will lead two very different lives: one is still stuck in Indiana, the other is thriving in California.
    But they both share one thing: they have never forgotten each other.

    Summary

    Steve could play it cool during his shifts and hell, he'd even manage to distract himself whenever him and Robin were frolicking around town, getting Slurpees and talking about her love life. When he was alone was where the trouble started. He would hang his keys up on the hook next to the front door and the silence would immediately bombard him with echoes of "don't ya, big boy?", the very words that made his brain short circuit.

    Summary

    The tapes are a constant. One after every job, maybe two or three if he feels like it. Recorded, stored, remixed. Some are more mundane than others. Most of the people on them are dead, others a staple in his life...until they aren't.
    Baby doesn't mean to hoard them, he just like the sounds of their voices, how they distort into music. He never intended for them to be heard either.

    OR

    A collection of the tapes Baby has, and the conversations he captures along the way, down to the very last job.

    Summary

    The team are headed into the upside down for the final battle and almost everything has been said. Some of the characters write letters in case something happens to them, much like max did in season 4. This work is Mikes letter to Will in case something happens to him, in case he never gets to tell him how he feels... the keys to his mind, his heart and his soul... and all the secrets he has kept. This is a letter that will feature in a future fic that I'm still working on and will be referenced but not included in full. This is my first work I'm sharing so please give me feedback!
    The main fic will be called "I lost him before I even knew he was mine" based from S5E5-Final and beyond - Mike finding out Will liked him, and he liked him back when he was 'over' him, it will feature pre epilogue mike trying to flirt with will and post epilogue Mike not knowing how to tell him. This letter is one of several he wrote to will but never gave him. it sits in a box next to the binder of Wills drawings until mike can be brave enough to give it to him... will he be?
