    Summary

    JD was their manager and their leader. He was the one that got them gigs and a record deal and answered the fanmail. He made sure they got paid and made them famous in every corner of the troll tree.

    20 years later the brothers slowly realize that JD was much more than that. He made sure they still went to school and to bed at a reasonable hour. He made them eat their vegetables and settled their petty fights and dried their tears. First and foremost, JD has always been their big brother.

    And in an ideal world, that’s all he would have been.

    or

    JD and the pitfalls of parentification.

    or

    Four times the brothers realize JD was more of a parent than a brother and one time JD has to admit that it wasn't fair.

    Summary

    After Will Byers returns to Hawkins after living in California for five years, his life turns upside down. Going back to his past life — a life he thought was long gone — comes with great struggle Will tries to convince everyone (himself included) it’s just some seasonal depression that’s going to wear off once fall is over.

    Turns out it’s anything but a seasonal depression, as Will begins to feel like he’s going insane — feeling like he’s haunted by the ghost of his past, struggling to eat anything as food looks like poison, and with a good night’s sleep becoming a thing of the past.

    And it certainly doesn’t help that Mike Wheeler keeps staring at him from across the hallway like a creep. He keeps staring instead of talking to Will, instead of making things right after ghosting him years ago.

    Because despite once being inseparable, now Will sees Mike as nothing but a cowardly stranger, who didn’t have the guts to write him one last letter saying he didn’t want to keep in touch anymore. Or at least that’s Will’s point of view.

    TW. viewer discretion is advised, this work is a tough read that gets emotional and violent at times. please stop reading if it is too much for you.

    Summary

    It’s the middle of December 1989, and everyone is finishing up their first semester at college. They’re all returning back to Hawkins for the break, excited for a few weeks of rest, relaxation, and catching up with old friends.
    Mike should be excited; he hasn’t spoken to many of his friends since he started college, the losses of the last few years still weighing heavily on his mind. But instead of excitement, his stomach is filled with dread. Dread of being back in his shitty hometown. Dread of all the memories that still haunt each corner of Hawkins.

    Dread of seeing Will again for the first time in months.
