Summary
In Hawkins, things are finally starting to feel… normal.
With the kids — Will, Jonathan, Eleven and the rest of the gang — off on a two-week camping trip, everyone hopes for a well-earned break after everything they’ve been through together.
Back home, Jim Hopper is getting used to the quiet… and maybe thinking a little too much about Joyce Byers.
But when Joyce receives an unexpected call from her ex-husband, Lonnie, that quiet doesn’t last long. He’s coming back to Hawkins and he clearly has his own ideas about reconnecting.
Not ready to face him alone, Joyce comes up with a plan: if Lonnie thinks she’s already moved on, he might back off. Which means Hopper has just agreed to play the role of her boyfriend.A simple plan… at least on paper.
Between awkward moments, old feelings, and a week that might not go as smoothly as expected, pretending could turn out to be more complicated than either of them imagined.

AU
During the filming of Stranger Things, the line between acting and reality begins to blur.
What starts as a professional partnership slowly turns into something harder to ignore — especially when feelings appear before they can be understood.Bookmarked by maelovesmay

Summary
It's always cold in Hawkins.
It's now a familiarity.
The sky turned grey, not a light cloudy day grey, but a dark evil grey, something that tells a million stories, one prominent one that suggests this isn't over yet. It doesn't rain, it never does. Screeching howls fill the air that turn into cries, the sounds travel through the wind that hits like an unforgiving freight train. Fire, the air smells like smoke, rotting flesh almost, the soul of the town is empty, just like the souls of it's residents trying to hold on to any last hope that it can be salvaged.

Summary
Joyce tucks her face into his shoulder, closing her eyes as she lets out a content hum, melting into him.
“Now we just gotta learn how to be a couple in more normal circumstances,” she says, followed by a small chuckle.
He tips his head to the side, resting his cheek against her head, her chestnut curls tickling his face. “I can’t wait to figure that out. Together,” he whispers into her hair, smiling softly.
Or, a canon-divergent fic where the military didn’t put up traps in front of the gate, and the group therefore escaped—and El survived.
