Summary
A while ago, El watched a movie where a man took the hands of an actress with a pretty smile into his own. I’m mad about you, he told her, feverishly. He didn’t sound angry, not really– but that’s what he said. Mad. El came to her conclusion, then.
The heat in her cheeks must mean that she is mad about Max.
The first time El sees Max, she sweeps her off her feet. Over the next few years, Max returns the favour.

Summary
“Hi,” Robin says, voice cracking. “Will that be all?”
And it turns out that yes, it will be. Nancy thanks her, they say goodbye, and she leaves as uneventfully as she came. It's no tragedy, and it's no epic romance. Nancy Wheeler is just one of the many fascinating girls that walk into Family Video all of the time. Robin will live to see another day. Probably. If she can stop thinking about that thirty-second interaction for long enough to remember to look both ways before she crosses the street.
“So," Steve asks. "Are we going shopping for your wedding suit?"
Robin flips him a bird, and allows her head to fall into her hands.
Robin's life is nothing like the movies. That is, at least, until Nancy Wheeler comes along.

Summary
[ON HIATUS]
“So you see, Michael?” A taunt. “He needs you. And he always will.” And 𝘰𝘩, it clicks in Mike’s brain just where he heard those words from before. The vines squeeze his torso tighter, and he feels breathless. “But I need you more. You are no longer able to protect him from what's about to happen. And now, your time has come.”
There’s a scream, and then there’s silence.
--
Time in the Upside Down has been stuck on November 6, 1983. Exactly five years later, they’re about to find out why.
Maybe Will can finally put his heart to rest. Maybe Mike can finally see the truth. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll all finally catch a real break for once.
(Or maybe none of those things happen. Either way, their world will never be the same again.)

Summary
“We are more similar than you realize, Will. Both of us were...sensitive children. We were different. Seen as freaks. But we are special. You are special.”
Will takes a shallow breath, tries to swallow his nerves. He speaks flatly. “And?”
Henry blinks, seemingly surprised by Will’s coldness. “I chose you that day, you know.”
And Will sees himself, small and alone, riding his bike through the darkness. He sees the silhouette of something tall and not-human. He sees himself crashing his bike. Running home. But the creature unlocks the door. It follows him into the shed. It gets him.
“It was you,” Will whispers, a hand coming up to the back of his neck. The monster that took him. The possession. The visions. “It’s always been you.”
(or the one where will’s connection to the upside down is a crucial part of season 4 instead of him getting sidelined, and how it changes everything)
