Summary
It's been three years, and everyone seems to have moved on except Mike Wheeler. Stuck in the same routine, days blending together over and over. He's opted to accept his fate, but some feelings can't stay repressed forever.
As he grapples with his demons, he realizes escape is an option, leading him down a twisted road of memories past. Reliving each trauma reminds him, however, exactly why he was choosing to conform all along. If Mike can escape Vecna's curse, he just might rewrite a love story we've heard before.

Summary
“Okay.” Steve buries his head in his arms face down on the coffee table in his basement. “Okay. A major lab incident I can get behind. Shit, the kid going missing I can understand. But what the hell do you mean there are monsters now?!”
“He didn’t say monsters,” Paperboy rolls his eyes, which looks really funny since he is doing a headstand against the wall. “Don’t be dramatic, Finney.”
“Griffin said the words ‘slimy tentacle vines of unimaginable cosmic horrors’” Steve deadpans, still face down.
“That doesn’t immediately mean monster.”

Steve Harrington has heard the phone ringing ever since he got out of the basement. Moving to Hawkins, Indiana didn't do much to change that.

Summary
Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.
Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.
Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.

The 18-month gap between s4 and s5 told from Mike's POV with minor other POV's as the story progresses. The gap has been lengthened to encapsulate more time passing. They start at 16, but by chapter 6 they're 17 1/2 with them turning 18 chapter 32/34.

Steve Harrington is to Mike what Robin is to Will

Summary
Steve Harrington learned how to survive long before Hawkins ever needed him to.
When Will Byers disappears, the town treats it like a misunderstanding. Kids run away. Parents panic. Everything will sort itself out.
Steve tells himself the same thing. He is good at pretending things are normal. He learned that skill the hard way.
But Will’s disappearance brings something with it, static where there should be silence, a pressure that does not fade, the sense that Steve is not as alone as he should be. And it is only the beginning.
Hawkins is full of ghosts.
Some of them have been with Steve for years.
A Stranger Things rewrite where Steve Harrington has a past, the dead do not stay quiet, and survival leaves marks long after you escape.Aka
Steve Harrington is Finney Blake and the ghosts did not get the memo to stay in the past.
