Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or

Summary
Mike moves in his bed, and Will's eyes stay firmly on the ceiling. "I feel like we barely know each other anymore."
And Will can't argue with that, so he replies, "What do you want to know?"
There’s a long lapse of silence, and then –
“Can you come up here?”
In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.

Summary
warnings: swearing, mentions of weed/getting high, mentions of alcohol/getting drunk, sexual jokes/innuendos, high school age party (15-16), intentional lowercase
genre: multi-part fic, high school au, group chat fic, chatfic, fluff, slowburn, long distance
PSA: THERE ARE NO INAPPROPRIATE UNDERAGE RELATIONSHIPS IN THIS. i only put the underage marker because the party is still in high school at this point.hi!! i'm super excited to start writing a stranger things group chat fic!! if i'm being honest i don't have a real great idea of the roadmap of this fic. i really just want this to be a feel-good, coming of age, group chat fic. it's going to be slowburn and flip between a couple different group chats. at this point in the story, will, el, jonathan, argyle, and joyce are still living in california, the binghams are in utah, and the rest of the squad is in hawkins (including hopper). it's not going to be completely off of the plot (el still has her powers, the upside-down still exists), but for the sake of the story, we're going to kinda just assume that the upside-down and all the creatures aren't bothering our kiddos, because god knows they've been traumatized enough. so yeah, that's that. hope you enjoy!

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
Steve is struggling with nightmares post-Vecna. He needs someone to talk to, but he gets too in his head about not wanted to worry anyone. He knows that everyone else is going through their own shit, and it doesn't feel fair to burden anyone with his own anxiety issues. On a walk to clear his head after a bad dream, he runs into none other than Eddie Munson. Sure, the two of them had definitely gotten closer while they were saving the world, but something about this run-in with Eddie seems different. It makes Steve feel things he hadn't felt since Nancy. After saving the world, you would think Steve would be able to handle anything. But his sexuality crisis and newfound feelings for Eddie is something way more confusing and daunting than the Upside Down had ever been.
