Summary
“Dustin thought he had a pretty average life, well besides the whole Upside Down and monsters stuff, he had an amazing mom, he had good grades in school, he had the best friends anyone could ask for, even when he was caught up with the abnormalities he wasn’t the centre of it, he was just there to assist. So when he found an old dusty box in his attic he thought nothing of it, but with his never ending thirst for knowledge he was curious as to what was inside, he should’ve remembered that curiosity killed the cat.“
I see a ton of “what if Steve had powers” fics but barely any Dustin ones, so I decided to write my own!

Summary
Dustin Henderson no longer has to be worried about the Upside Down. They've officially sealed the gate, even the government has given up. He can finally let go.
Except it's not right. Things aren't adding up. So, obviously, Dustin goes behind everyone's back and starts a little investigation. It's really nothing, just something to ease his nerves.
And then he starts getting results. There's a possibility that Vecna left something behind when he died, something that threatens to overtake their lives once more. But everyone's gone through enough already, so Dustin decides that this time, he'll handle it himself. And whatever secrets Vecna left behind will die, with or without Dustin.
(And if he accidentally gets Jason Carver roped in, and if they "accidentally" fall in love in the process...well, no one had to know.)
OR
everyone thinks its all over, but dustin knows something is up, which leads to one of the most dangerous passion projects he's ever partaken in.

Summary
Dustin can’t reach anyone. Not Steve. Not Robin. Not the Party. This time, it’s just him. No adults. Just his brain, his fear, and a ticking clock.
(or Dustin gets beat up and possessed, but hey, at least, Eddie’s alive, right?)

Summary
Dustin hasn't had his heat since before Eddie Munson died in his arms. This makes plenty of sense - after all, such a trauma would have a devastating impact on any dynamic's natural bodily rhythm. Sure, eighteen months without even a single symptom of heat is probably more than enough reason for Dustin to go the doctor, but he has more important things to worry about.
Then he finds Jake's mutilated corpse at Eddie's grave.
As it turns out, such distress can also trigger the sudden onset of heat. Dustin learns this the hardest way possible.

Summary
For a second, she was confused as to why Dustin had the letter she wrote to Steve, but then she looked at it, really looked at it, and that definitely wasn’t her handwriting. That’s when she noticed that the letter was just the first one in a whole stack. She picked them up and flipped through them.
Steve. Mom. Lucas. Mike. Will. El. Suzie. Robin. Nancy. Erica.
Some part of her had a pretty good idea of what those letters were. Though another part was refusing that thought steadfastly, desperately searching for some other logical explanation.
Until she got to the last letter.
Max.
And she knew. She knew without a doubt what those letters were going to say. But her mind couldn’t wrap itself around it - didn’t want to.

Max finds out Dustin has written some letters of his own.
