  Summary

  The ending of season 5 caused me to want to write this at 12 am on a goddamn holiday.

  This is my rewrite of what I think would be a better ending to Stranger Things. Including in depth character analysis, wrapping up loose ends and actual character death that is fulfilling to what the audience was expecting for the finale. I'm writing the season from the beginning to the end. In the beginning you will find a preface on what to expect.
