Summary
On November 6th, 1983, a fifteen year old boy by the name of Will Byers goes missing in the woods outside his house. For nearly a week, he is presumed dead. But his friends, especially his best friend Mike, never lose hope. When Will returns, everything in the small town of Hawkins finally goes back to normal. It’s not until two months later, in the heart of winter, that Mike discovers that something is wrong. Is Will really back? Or is someone—or something—pretending to be him?
[currently putting all my time and energy in my other fic (a Trojan war byler au), so I’ll be continuing this one after that one is finished :)]

Summary
It's 1995, and Hawkins pulls the party back in for a needed and heartfelt reunion. They all live in different states, have gotten taller, smarter, louder. With the pressure that Hawkins holds against them, old laughter, old feelings and old secrets resurface, and Will finds himself confronting the very thing he'd thought he'd left there forever. They never expected to fall back into their familiar past selves so easily, but Hawkins always has a way of bringing things to the surface, once way or another.
