Summary
The finale didn't do it for me, so I decided to take it from the top and rewrite the entire show...y'know, like a normal person.
Here is my version of Season 1, where everyone has a backstory and I added relationships, friendships, and character interactions, out of pure self-indulgence. I once heard the whole show had been planned from the very start, and then as we moved through it was clear that wasn't the case. So this is my attempt at a do-over where it was (and hopefully that comes across), to try to fill in some plot holes while largely staying faithful to the show.
I'm like 100k in across 5 Google Docs already, so STRAP IN FOLKS.

The Vanishing of Will Byers (Once more, with FEELING).
