Summary
It wasn’t supposed to work. It was just a stupid theatre tradition — a séance at the grave of some thespian who died seventy years ago. She didn’t even believe in ghosts. But for some reason when Cynthia reaches out, she finds someone reaching back.
Title comes from the song “Back to You” by Twin Forks.

But when reality starts to crumble around them, decisions have to be made about where, or rather when, they belong.
Title comes from “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)” by Doris Day.

Summary
Canon divergent at episode 4. Lydia finds a script that someone left behind after rehearsal. In the margins, there are funny observations, brutally honest opinions, and heartfelt confessions that make her desperate to know who the owner of the script is.
She and the mystery person start writing anonymous notes back and forth in the margins, and before she has a chance to stop it, she finds herself coming to care for them.
This series follows the development of the girls' relationship from Lydia's perspective, as well as the perspectives of people who care about them.

Summary
When Headmistress McGonagall tells Harry that Violet Dursley will be attending Hogwarts next Fall, he can’t believe what he’s hearing. What’s even more difficult to believe is that Dudley wants to make amends and start over with him. Could Dudley have genuinely turned a new leaf? Can he put aside his anger and resentment long enough to hear Dudley out?
This is primarily a story about healing, growing up, and choosing family. The first part of the series is Reconciliation (Dudley and Harry making amends), the second is Reparations (Dudley continuing to grow and learn), and the third is Reception (a Violet POV of her first night at Hogwarts).

Summary
“I need you to be my boyfriend.” She said it as fast as she could, ripping the band-aid off to get it over with. But damn if the rip didn’t hurt like a bitch.
Buddy laughed. He actually laughed in her face. “That’s, that’s funny. That’s a good… one— why aren’t you laughing?”
Cynthia watched him with a sour look on her face. “Okay look, I don’t need you to be my real boyfriend, in fact I’d actually rather die before that were the case,” she felt a little relief at finally getting to say something true, not to mention she felt a little too satisfied at the hurt look on Buddy’s face at that. “I’ve gotten myself into a little bit of a pickle and until I find a way out of it, I need you to roll with this.”

Summary
It had been two and a half months since the end of Spring Break.
Eddie had been cleared of all charges, The Byers were back in Hawkins like they’d never left, Vecna was dead and gone, and everything was back to normal; or rather as back to normal as Hawkins could get.
Unfortunately for one Steve Harrington, his new normal seemed to be not only his inability to get a date, but also his newfound proclivity towards staring at Eddie Munson’s mouth while he dramatically narrated during a five hour Hellfire session, or counting the freckles on the bridge of his nose, or memorizing the patterns in his honey coloured eyes.
What the fuck was wrong with him?
(Now with Eddie’s pov added!)

Summary
It wasn't supposed to go like this.
Steve was supposed to work with Robin at the Family Video, flirt with the many many girls who came to browse the expansive selection of VHSes, go on some dates, and hopefully find The One.
It was supposed to be a notably upside-down free year.
And, hey, for what it's worth? He wasn't supposed to be pinned down on a mattress by Eddie Munson either.
And he certainly wasn't supposed to be enjoying it.
But that's getting a bit ahead of things…
