Summary
Sumire feels the weight of a year forgotten crash onto her shoulders.
Wasn’t their deadline February third?
And -oh no- It’s April, how had she not noticed entire months passing in Maruki’s false reality? She checks her phone, and does a double take.
April 4, 2016
2016? But- wasn’t it?
No. Oh no.
“Shoot.” She hisses under her breath.
Well, Sumire thinks somewhat hysterically, it's at least an improvement over being trapped in Maruki’s reality.

After Ren makes the wrong decision at the end of the world, Sumire Yoshizawa is thrown a year into the past, with the vague goal of making things right.This would, of course, be a significantly easier task if she had any idea what she’s supposed to do.

Summary
"Chance bit the inside of his lip. Truthfully, part of him believed Jason’s Hellfire theory was a desperate story fueled by the grief of losing Chrissy, but the more Chance watched Hawkins fall apart, literally, the more he felt his old logic snap into place. Maybe Jason had been right, the town had a wound and something crawled out of it, something that hid in plain sight. Chance didn’t believe in revenge, the Bible says justice belonged to God or the law. But, if there really was an evil in this town, wouldn’t it be just as evil to do nothing about it? To let it happen?"
OR
After losing two of his friends in the Hawkins “earthquake,” Chance joins a church grief group that believes Will Byers is the vessel for Satan. To prove them wrong, Chance agrees to befriend Will, but the closer he gets, the more the lines between faith, fear, obsession and love start to blur.

Summary
Dustin sucks in a sharp breath, claps his hands together in his lap, and says as straightforwardly as possible, “I’m going back in time.”
Steve doesn’t say anything. His mouth opens and closes like a goldfish. Then, he says, “What, like, right now?”
Dustin wakes up in Max’s trailer the day of Eddie’s death. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three times? Three times is a pattern.
Or: Dustin Henderson is unstuck in time.

Summary
Will raised an eyebrow at his friend's antics, then dropped his eyes to where he knew Dustin had reached a hand out towards him.
“This summer, we stick together. You and me, Byers.”
Will grinned, taking Dustin’s hand and shaking it. “You and me, Henderson.”
A rewrite of S3:
The night Dustin gets back from Camp Knowhere, he brings the Party up to the highest point in Hawkins to set up Cerebro. He thought that his friends would be excited to have him back-- even if it wasn't the most entertaining to sit on a hill and talk into a radio with no response, he thought they would at least wait for him before going home. He thought it was going to be the best summer ever.
Instead, he finds himself and the one friend that didn't leave him, Will Byers, intercepting a weird Russian transmission.
And, well... if he couldn't have the best summer ever, at least he and Will would have an eventful one.
