    Summary

    Two very different sides of the same coin never mattered in the long run. Whether you were prepared since the day you were born, or taught to dread it until it was over, you still ended up in the same exact outcome.

    Death didn’t care where you came from, as long as it got you in the end.

    Summary

    "I have Ms. Kelly today," Max says, almost bitterly. "You'll be okay at lunch without me?" she says it sarcastically, like a joke, but there's an undercurrent of something else in her voice; for a moment, she almost sounds scared.

    Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"

    Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."

    ~~

    or: a shared tragedy brings max and will together for their first year of high school in hawkins. they stay together, even as their demons rise again. a s4 rewrite, in which joyce is the one who dies at the end of s3 and thus the byers + el never move.

    Summary

    "Will should’ve found it unpleasant, disturbing maybe.
    He didn’t. He felt intrigued and more excited than he's felt in a long time. Whatever lived in the woods had seen him.
    And it had let him go."

     

    -

     

    Will Byers, plagued by his morbid curiosity for the disappearances and deaths in Montauk, encounters a strange forest and an even stranger creature. One, Mike Wheeler, the one responsible for it.
