Summary
Hawkins is a town built on routine—quiet streets, familiar faces, and the comforting lie that nothing truly bad ever happens there.
Lena Harris has survived long enough to know better.
When a local boy vanishes and the town begins to unravel, Lena is pulled into the edges of something strange and unsettling, where reality bends, secrets surface, and the past refuses to stay buried. As Hawkins cracks open, she finds herself standing closer to the dark than she ever meant to be.
Some doors don’t stay closed.
Some truths won’t stay quiet.
And once the world turns upside down, there’s no going back.Series

“Come on Mike, she’s got high agility!”

Summary
The whole Party is in total crisis mode. They’re convinced Robin Buckley—supposedly dating Steve Harrington—is leading 'poor, sweet Will' on, destined to break his delicate, heart. Mike Wheeler, secretly drowning in years of repressed love for Will, is positively vibrating with protective fury and spectacular, blinding jealousy. What Mike doesn't know is that Robin is Will’s secret, trusted queer mentor, and all their whispered, private talks are about one thing: how to survive Mike Wheeler’s emotional constipation. When the Party’s well-intentioned, idiotic intervention forces Will's hand, it leads to a surprise coming-out, mass confusion, and the dramatic, sappy Byler confession we've all been waiting for.

Summary
“What is it about you that brings back their inner neanderthals?” Robin questioned with a light tone.
Nancy rolled her eyes, slightly blushing.
“The undying male need to save the girl, I guess” she shrugged.
Robin chuckled.
“Like you need any saving.” Her smile was so bright it almost blinded Nancy. Robin’s beauty always caught her off guard.
