Summary
“I know we haven’t talked a lot recently. But Joyce told me that Christmas is a time for reconciling with friends,” El seems to struggle with the big word, but soldiers on confidently. “And we’re friends. So I was waiting to ask you to come to my house to reconcile.”
Satisfied with that answer, Max happily agrees, and they set off down the road towards the Byers house.
OR: An elmax songfic based off Taylor Swift's 'It's Nice To Have A Friend', because I listen to it and think of them.

Summary
The glowing fairy lights on every lamppost make El’s face glow, her eyes wide and jaw slack with awe.
Before them stands the largest Christmas tree Max thinks she’s ever seen, and judging by her face, El feels the same. It seems El can’t focus on one thing, her eyes flitting between the tree and the skyscrapers glowing in the evening darkness before landing on the ice rink full of skaters.
OR:
Three times Max brings out El's sense of wonder at Christmas and one time El brings out Max's.

do you know what i really need? (i need love) by dumpedurass

Summary
Max wheeled herself down the corridor to get some fresh air until she was stopped in her tracks. It appeared the Squawk hadn’t completely cleared, because standing in front of her were Robin and that kind nurse, Vickie, passionately kissing.
Normally when Max had to - unfortunately - walk in on a similar situation she’d immediately tell them to get off each other, but she wheeled herself quietly as possible out of sight, close enough to hear, but hidden from view.
She could hear quiet sobbing, and something about Enzo’s before there were footsteps, a door slam, and finally, silence. Max counted to ten, then turned the corner, taking the opportunity.“So, how long have you and Robin been together?”
Vickie jumped and turned around, looking absolutely petrified.
“Max! Uh, how much did you see? I swear we’re just friends, I just-”
OR:
Max has some thoughts after Will's confession, and Vickie becomes an unlikely mentor.

thinking of ways to get back home (sweet jane) by dumpedurass

Summary
Iceland can look green and lush, a warm breeze blowing through like she had imagined, but only if you visit in the summer, and not in October of all months. The mountains were shining white in the sun and covered in a thick coat of snow, the air sharper than she’d imagined. But the waterfalls, they were even more magical in person. Something inside of her seemed to click when she arrived, a deep sense of calm settling in her soul.
OR:
It’s 1994, Max is on an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and her best friend, who she watched die seven years ago, is somehow alive and well. So much for a deep sense of calm.

Summary
In one story this is the end.
It begins in that horrible, terrifying moment, the one that none of them, no matter how hard they try, will ever be able to scrub from their memory. It’s that moment where they’re screaming in agony, in protest, and the only thing stopping them from running and changing fate is the soldiers holding them back. Will watches on in horror, as his sister closes her eyes, taking one final breath. He tries to reach forward, yearning to reach for her, all unsaid thoughts, all of the things she’ll never experience, all of those what ifs race through his head.
In one story, it ends when the Upside Down is destroyed. In this one, it’s only the beginning.OR:
When the destruction of the Upside Down leaves everyone trapped inside Hawkins, relationships bloom, secrets are revealed, and many more mysteries are waiting to be solved.

The tree branches hiding her from the world were pushed aside and she locked eyes with the girl disturbing her silence. She rose to her feet, and found she was still shorter than the girl. “Oh. Uh, I’m Max.”
The girl blinked. “That’s a boy's name.”
“Well, I’m a girl. And you are?”
“Oh, I’m J- uh, El. Call me El.”OR:
King Martin of Hawkins is holding a ball to find a suitable husband for his daughter, Princess Jane. Max will do anything to go to the ball and dance with her.
