Summary
Vecna isn't the one attacking Hawkins in spring break of 1986. It's something else, far darker, and far scarier.

But with a blood oath made at thirteen comes back to haunt him and his band of losers they have to travel to Hawkins to save his Party from something they've never seen before.
Now Richie Tozier has to deal with the consequences of making up the personality that was Mike Wheeler.
Who would've thought he never went to the Byers for spring break?

When Nancy tells Steve about Eleven, he starts searching the woods every single day to find her.

He finds the cabin by accident.
OR
How Hopper ends up adopting two super-powered kids who wind up saving the world at least once every year.

Summary
“Who is Finney Mason Blake?” Nancy turned to Steve.
“Uh…” he ran a hand through his hair. “Me?”
“You?” Rob raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah, I mean… Steve Harrington isn’t my birth name,” he grimaced, realizing he had forgotten to mention that.
Or: The Party watches The Black Phone and learns a lot of new things about Steve. Maybe a little too many.

Summary
“You have to come home, Richie.” He said, voice short like he’d practiced this a thousand times through.
Of course.
There was that sharp reminder that it hadn’t been long enough. It had been seventeen years since they’d fought IT last, and if Ben had been correct then it would be twenty-seven years. So what had changed? Now of course his friends would probably have a few thousand theories, though most would end in him tied to a chair in the basement to prevent him from trying to be some sort of sacrifice all over again. He’d show, of course, which meant leaving suddenly without telling his friends.
It still hadn’t been long enough though. He was twenty-eight, he lived alone in his apartment and barely visited where he was from anymore before it carried things he hadn’t been able to handle for the last twelve years of his life.
Nothing he’d done since he was eleven had been normal, which maybe made this better than it had been back then. He was more prepared at least.
But he wasn’t supposed to be, was he?

Summary
It’s outlandish. It’s implausible. It’s beyond the scope of man, beyond the imagination of children. He wants to shake his head, wants to dismiss it the same way they would laugh at the end of each campfire story, the same way folks would turn their noses up at the talk from the old miners who see things in the coal dust and dark and heat, because everyone sees something in the mine. That’s just the nature of the shadow.
Deciding to find his own answers, Wayne picks the wrong (or perhaps very right) moment to return to his trailer.

Summary
She catches sight of Hop first, of course. He’s who she’s looking for after all; or, perhaps more accurately, she will think later, he’s the only one she thinks she’s supposed to be looking for in this moment. The way Robin Buckley had talked about what had happened beneath Starcourt that night — well, it had all just seemed so final, she’d thought, and truly she’s never been so happy to be wrong in her life.
Meanwhile, in the Soviet Union, Joyce finds not one ghost but two.

Summary
He heard her shift in the stall next to him. “My turn.” She took a moment to think, the silence settling over the bathroom. “Have you… Ever been in love?”
Steve felt himself freeze at the question. Instances of friendly pushes against his shoulder and a sink basin turning red with bloody knuckles. Of an old bandana, a last call.
“Twice,” He muttered. “Nancy Wheeler. First semester, junior year.”
“She’s such a priss!” Steve could hear Robin’s eyes rolling from the stall over. “Wait- you said twice? Who’s the other?”
Steve swallowed. “A friend from middle school.”
“Are you still in love with her?” She asked softly. Steve chewed at the inside of his cheek.
“He died when we were thirteen.” He whispered, feeling the sting of tears prick against his eyes, aggravating the cut on his cheekbone.

“Is this about what I said?” Mike eventually musters up, looking down at his hands and self conscious. He knows that Will knows, and he looks less than happy about it. “because I didn’t really– You don’t need to do this for me. I know it’s weird.”
“Not weird.” Will interrupts, “If I thought it was weird I wouldn’t be doing this. I kinda liked it, y'know? And I like looking after you. I could be Mommy, if you wanted me to be.”

Summary
Mike twisted his hand around Will's, and just as he was about to lean down and kiss his boyfriend in the stupidly loud terminal of Derry's shitty airport, he was interrupted by a voice that he hadn't heard in years.
"Richie! You fucking motherfucker!" Eddie Kaspbrak screamed as he ran over, and just as Mike was about to shout at the inevitable punch, he instead groaned when Eddie yanked at the collar of his shirt, almost choked him, and crashed their mouths together so hard that their lips were probably bruised.
And Mike, who still loved Eddie as much as he loved Will, couldn't help himself as he leaned into the kiss and did his best to return the franticness of it.
"Uh," Max said somewhere to the side. "What the fuck?"
***
Mike remembered shedding the name Richie Tozier as soon as he had arrived in Hawkins, like some sort of disgusting and slimy seal skin.
It surprised him to realize that being Richie was actually akin to coming home.

Summary
It started again, when Billy Hargrove nearly killed him during the fight at the Byers house. The ringing in his ears, his teeth, the phones - all the phones, all the time. It’s been so long since he’d heard them again.
“Hey Finn, or should I say Stephen now,” the voice on the other end spoke. “Now just what sort of shit have you gotten yourself into this time amigo?”
Steve Harrington has always lived with ghosts. He just had to remember how to listen again first.
- Chapter Sneak Peek -
“…I don’t hate you Hargrove,” he said. “I sure as hell don’t like you, but I do not hate you.”

Summary
May 31st 1986, two weeks until graduation. Robin, Eddie, and Nancy are all set to walk across the stage, Eddie being given a free pass after the whole ‘almost framed for murder’ thing. The three have been trying to be excited about their graduation, but it feels almost mundane to be excited when Steve wouldn’t be there. They would be sat out on a football field in the blistering heat while waiting for their names to be called, with Dustin and Max in the crowd, cheering them on in Steve's place. There would be fake smiles plastered to all their faces, no matter how realistic they tried to make them.
None of them have genuinely smiled since Steve got Vecna'd.
Sixty-Five days. Steve had been in a coma for Sixty-Five days. The doctors keep telling The Party that it doesn't look good, that Steve's injures had been severe, and that they didn't know if, when, he would wake up.
But they refused to lose hope.
He'll wake up.
It's just a matter of time.
OR
Five times Steve Harrington didn't wake up, and one time he did.

Summary
Peter Parker (recently called Peter Three) appears in a swirl of golden light, the chill morning air replaced with something stagnant and sterile. He blinks, shaking off the golden light, and realizes he's not where he should be.
He's in a cell box suspended in a void, surrounded by other clear cells filled with people of all shapes, sizes, and, potentially, species.
A high tech gondola being guided along by an alien that almost looks like Peter Two’s Green Goblin slides into view. A bald man in a tailored business suit stands behind the alien, scrolling on his phone, idly drinking some coffee.
Peter politely knocks on the wall separating them.

Summary
When Steve sees Eleven again, he wants to cry.
_
Steve Harrington was raised in Hawkins Lab, and he's spent the past six years trying his best to forget. It doesn't matter that he can stop time with his mind or that most nights he wakes up screaming. He's Steve, not Seven. He's moved on.
Or at least he thought he had, until the little sister he thought was dead shows up.

Summary
El was never close to Steve Harrington. She's heard a few stories about him being an asshat when he was in high school, but she's never seen him be anything but nice to her friends. It makes her confused, but since her dad can be wary of him at times, she is too.
However, when he shows up at the cabin in the freezing cold dead-of-night, El makes the decision to help him, and it might just be one of the best decisions she makes (besides saving the world).
