Summary
Slow-Burn, canon-compliant and set after season 4. Will Byers & Byler centric. If you like lots of feels and pining, a nice dose of spooky beasties, some silly character moments and seeing our boy Will kicking ass, taking names and coming of age, you're in the right place.
Premise:
It's two weeks after the fall of Hawkins and the Party are trying to figure out how to move on, find Max and stop Vecna.Will's heart is still breaking over Mike and El, but when those emotions awaken something decidedly more otherworldly and powerful he, and a strange new friend, have to confront what really happened in Hawkins on November 6th 1983 and what side Will himself is really on.
A fever-dream, mucho-feels, super long, semi-fix-it, version of Season 5.

Summary
During a conversation with Vickie, Robin decides to start using Steve as her beard and sure, lying to her parents is great, and she doesn't mind Hawkins thinking she's getting it on with Steve Harrington, but then lovable, idiotic Steve decides it's a great idea to carry on the lie to Eddie to make him jealous. Robin has had enough of her platonic soulmate being this fucking stupid, but sure, whatever, it'll work out in the end, it always does with Steve.
“Should I — like, go?” Eddie stares at them, still lifting up the duvet so cold air is getting on Robin’s thighs, she curls her toes under the shins of the massive fucking idiot next to her. “If you guys wanna —?”
Eddie, Robin thinks, is probably the only person they should tell about the whole fake part of their relationship. Eddie, Robin thinks, is probably the only other person in the world who would’ve even volunteered to be her beard. Eddie, who they share a bed with when they’re drunk like this, is the last person they need to start lying to but for some reason Steve has decided they need to defend themselves against Eddie and Robin can only stare at Steve and think "why him, why is he your soulmate?"

thought of your future (with one foot in the past) by fivecenturiesverse

Summary
From California to Hawkins, decisions need to be made about the future. In the end they're young, trying to make the world work for them. For some, that means staying at home, for others that means fleeing the nest. Whatever their choices, somehow they'll all end up right where they need to be.
Robin watches as Eddie and Steve smile privately in the little crevice between two shelves of tapes and thinks they’re idiots. Her idiots. And she can’t, for a moment, remember where she begins and they end. They’re so dumb, for dancing around each other like this, when they obviously want each other so badly.
She thinks they’re so brave to stay, thinks she couldn’t. Thinks the world is out there and it’s so painfully sharp like fractured glass she wants to grab it in both hands and smother it against her chest. Wants to smash through it, find the rainbow layers of broken glass. Find something for herself in those shards, until she can come home with it to Steve and show him the mess of her hands, torn and shredded from the world, and he will pat her head and say "I’m proud of you".
