    Summary

    Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.

    Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.

    aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

    Summary

    Spring Break, 1986. Will has been missing for six months, and his family and friends are running out of ideas. So, when three new leads develop, there’s no choice but to take them, despite the host of known and unknown dangers. From Hawkins to New York, Nevada, New Mexico, and across an entire ocean, nothing is going to stop them from finding Will and bringing him back home, least of all Will himself.

    or: a season 4 rewrite featuring even more survivor’s guilt, a host of shiny new powers, and the road trip to end all road trips, perhaps literally.

    Summary

    Robby’s hand rustles him.

    “I was just getting some air. I’ll get ready for a patient. Where’s King?” Robby’s not convinced, furrowing his brow, but it's the truth, and maybe that registers, so he lets Langdon go, who lets out a breath of relief.

    Before he can go, Perlah runs past him, pushing the wheels of a stretcher that sends a metallic screech spiraling out into the air. Then, Santos snarks something at Whitaker, who smiles sheepishly in return, as they power walk past. Langdon, interrupted. For a second, he can’t bear it – this feeling of being outside of it all. It’s been happening ever since he came back, and he finds it more and more difficult to fall in pace with the beat of things again.

    “Langdon,” Robby’s voice again. “Are you ok, Frank?”

    ---

    During a night shift, Langdon begins to unravel, and Robby is there.

    Summary

    Robby hears it, if only distantly.

    It’s only when he looks over the top of his computer, watching in real time as Dana pales and Samira’s face twists itself into something that can only be described as nauseated, that it clicks into place for him.

    or: Langdon gets brought in to PTMC. They find out that the love remains, after all.
