Summary
Bob settles in to life at The Watchtower. He’s not all better, and the threat of The Sentry and The Void linger in the back of his mind. Yelena hovers, Ava phases through walls on a whim, and Walker makes breakfast.
Then, a pair of armed men shatter the illusion of safety Bob has created around his new home, and he’s forced to choose between once again becoming a mad scientist’s lab rat or putting trust in not only his team but also himself to make it back home.

Summary
Steve left everything behind after Vecna. He’s living on his own, struggling to navigate life with no friends, no family, no one to lean on or to ask for help, and he has no one to blame but himself. But he’s fine. He doesn’t have any other choice; he’s made his bed, and now he has to lie in it. He’s fine.
And then Eddie Munson walks back into his life, and Steve is forced to confront all the decisions he made for real this time.

They beat Vecna. They saved the world. Everything was fine. And then the Harringtons sell their house in Hawkins, and Steve has to confront some things about himself that he doesn’t know if he’s ready to face.

Summary
When Steve was six years old, he told his mother he wanted to fly. When he was twenty, he learned what that really meant.
This is a reimagining of the end of Season 4 Vol 2 because I wanted to see a little bit of a happy ending in there. Alternative title: Steve Harrington’s Big Gay Crisis

Summary
Richie only ever wanted to be loved. He thought he’d do anything to hang on to that feeling. Then he crawls out his bathroom window and realizes he’s been looking in the wrong place the whole time.
Or: Pennywise never existed, and so The Losers Club never existed. Things are a little bit different and a little bit all the same.

Summary
Richie used to call it an itch. Eddie makes him feel like it’s something else. It’s one thing to feel it. It’s something else to be able to say it out loud.
Or: Eddie doesn’t die. That doesn’t mean there’s a happily ever after. Not right away, at least.

Summary
Klaus is home from Vietnam, but what’s so great about that? Now he has to get sober and stop the apocalypse, whether he wants to or not (and he certainly does not. At least at first).

Summary
An exploration of Klaus’s time in Vietnam, his relationship with Dave, and his mental health after narrowly escaping from Hazel and Cha-Cha with his life.

Summary
Klaus is tortured at the hands of Cha-Cha and Hazel, but things don’t quite go the way canon expects. A fix-it for episode 4 because maybe Klaus and Eudora both deserve better.
Series
