Description:

There is a town, somewhere in the American Midwest, where everyone desperately tries to pretend things are ordinary.

They aren’t, of course. Ordinary towns aren’t host to mysterious government laboratories. They don’t see bright lights and hear unexplained noises at odd hours. They don’t have unexpected power outages, followed by citywide announcements desperately trying to pretend this is a typical occurrence.

Truth be told, this town is anything but normal.

Welcome to Hawkins, Indiana. Or at least, one of its many versions.

A Reverse!AU for Stranger Things in which many of the characters swap places, a lot of shit still happens, there’s a lot of egregiously 80s music titles, and everything is a lot more gay. Told through vignettes and snapshots, because I have neither the time nor the energy to rewrite the entire show.

Notes:

For now, this is what I have as far as who swaps places with who. Note that this is not a personality swap, but more of a “general role in the story” swap. Some characters’ personalities will be altered slightly in order to fit better with their newfound role in the story. It’s a little confusing, so I might write a piece that just explains the character dynamics and family trees.
