Summary
COMMUNITAS: the feeling of camaraderie among a group experiencing the same liminal experience or rite. “A moment in and out of time”, which reveals, however fleetingly, some recognition of a generalized social bond that has ceased to be and has simultaneously yet to be fragmented into a multiplicity of structural ties.
*Old enemies return and bonds once thought unbreakable start to crumble. Haunting secrets and memories long forgotten come to light, forcing the Party to face everything they have been desperately trying to hide.

Summary
“That’s the problem, we don’t!” Mike shouts, throwing his hands up, “We don’t win, Lucas!”
For over two years, they’ve been dealing with the Upside Down.
They thought they’d killed the demogorgon and won, but they hadn’t. Turns out there was something much bigger and much worse than the demogorgon and they’d been attacked and chased and hunted. But hey, at least El wasn't dead. She had finally closed the gate that had let the demogorgon into Hawkins, and the Mind Flayer had come out of Will. Logically, they should all be safe now, right? That November had been the end of it - they could go back to their normal lives and get to be stupid teenagers that only worried about their girlfriends and how much change they had in their pockets for ice cream and movies. Right?
Wrong. Again.
The monster had been locked out here with them. They had never won anything before. Why would they win now?"The Mind Flayer bides its time and the Party has to come to terms with the idea that victory has an aftermath.

Summary
"Real life didn’t have dice rolls, spells and divine powers. Here, Mike didn’t have a sacred sword or a shield, he couldn’t heal with a touch of his hand. Mike only had his weak hands and his weak arms, and his weak legs to keep him alive."
After the fall of 1984, nothing will ever be the same.

Summary
Separation: a concept first coined by anthropologist Arnold Van Gennep, and later expanded upon by ethnographer Victor Turner, which consists of the first phase of a Rite of Passage or "Transition". It comprises symbolic behavior signifying the detachment of the individual or group either from an earlier fixed point in the social structure, from a set of cultural conditions (a "state"), or from both.
Or.
In which Will Byers has a twin sister, and doesn't bike home alone on the night of November 6th, 1983.

Summary
Liminality: a concept in anthropology and psychology that refers to being in between two stages of life or in the middle of changing from one mode of existence to another.
"Mia likes this monotony, likes the routine of living in such a small town like Hawkins. It’s nice, when you think about it. You can predict exactly how your week is going to go based on how blue the sky is on Monday. You know that when the radio says it’s going to rain, it’ll be a bright day, and that when they say it’ll be sunny, to expect rain. People do the same thing every single day, a routine of work, school and home that never fails to repeat itself. When she goes to town with her mother, the cashiers at the stores know her name, and at the restaurant by the department store, the waitress knows her milkshake order.
Mia is meant for the tiny towns where everyone knows everyone, and her friends are within biking distance. She’s meant for the predictable. The safe.
Predictability, Mia thinks again, is grossly underrated. "My re-write of Stranger Things, with one central difference: Will Byers has a twin sister. How much difference can one person make?

Summary
Obi‑Wan Kenobi didn’t ask to be scooped up in a Mandalorian raid and plunked down in one of their orphanages ready for integration ….cough adoption.
Obiwan’s grand plan - Stay quiet. Stay low. Stay forgettable. Be a good, biddable little foundling until he can figure out an escape.
Which would be great… if he weren’t Obi‑Wan Kenobi.
Might as well have shown up in a neon pink tutu with a sign that said:
“Look at me!”
