   Summary

   Heavy canon divergence. There were never any Russians under Starcourt, instead swapped out for an American Fortune 500 company. Most other aspects remain the same.

   Steve and Robin are left drifting after the wake of the Battle of Starcourt, only to discover a series of small rifts opening all across Hawkins. With the help of Dustin and some others, they race to find a way to stabilize the fabric of the universe before the world ends. Again.

   title from the depeche mode song of the same name.
