Summary
Roughly a year and a half after Vecna wreaked apocalyptic havoc on Hawkins, Indiana as we know it, Mike Wheeler, Eleven Jane Hopper, and Will Byers struggle to make sense of their complicated relationships with one another as their best friends, Dustin Henderson and Lucas Sinclair, spiral further into grief and depression over their lost loved ones (Eddie and Max).
Meanwhile, Nancy Wheeler continues to struggle with survivor's guilt over the loss of her best friend, Barb, as her boyfriend, Jonathan Byers, and Steve Harrington grow ever more competitive towards each other over her hand in a relationship. She wonders whether there is any way to protect her family while avenging Barb's death.
Finally, Chief Jim Hopper struggles against his desire to keep his daughter, El, safe, knowing that he tends to only hold her back whenever he tries to protect her. Will he overcome the guilt he feels about his daughter's death, or will he allow it to destroy the beautiful family that he is forming with Joyce Byers?
A complete Stranger Things 5 rewrite beginning from episode 1 in which Mike and Will actually DO end up together as they were always supposed to, and Mike and El learn to become friends.

Summary
“I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.
“It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.
“Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”
Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”
Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.

Summary
“He really does look like Mike,” Lucas breathes, as he gives Mike’s twin a scan, head to toe.
“Yeah, if Mike were way hotter and a knight?” Max chips in, and Will can vaguely hear Mike muttering again. “He looks so medieval, like he’s from Camelot or some shit.”
“I am Michael,” the knight begins to plead again. He turns his doe eyes back to Will, returning to his side like a diligent guard, even going as far as to reach out and take his hands. “Please, you have to believe me. I would never lie to you. Have I ever broken our oath? Let me prove it.”
Will was a bit preoccupied with gazing into the knight’s eyes, his cheeks flushing under the intense stare and the way his hands were held so gently. Mike had no issues ruining their moment.
“And he’s weirdly obsessed with Will.” Mike sounds even angrier than he did in the woods, and his sharp tone is enough for Will to snap out of his hand-holding to step a respectable distance away from the knight. “We need to send him back to wherever he came from.”

Mike the Brave ends up in Hawkins and sweeps Will off his feet. Mike has a lot of Feelings™ about it.

Summary
“You fucked with the wrong family,” she gritted out, rage finally boiling over, her features pinching as she prepared to bring the axe down—
“Mom,” Vecna choked.
Dark red—almost black—blood spilled from his mouth as he gagged on the word.
