    Summary

    In a world completely devoid of monsters, Eddie runs a Dungeons & Dragons club at the high school he just can't seem to graduate from, and Steve Harrington works at Scoops Ahoy with his best friend, Robin Buckley.

    In a world without a strange, dark reflection of itself hidden in the shadows, Will Byers does not get kidnapped in middle school, and Michael Wheeler's eyes never once wander from his.

    In a world that does not worsen steadily, the earth instead shatters all at once.

    Summary

    Mike swallows. His vision blurs, and a dark spot blooms on the page where a drop of tear lands. He doesn't wipe it away.

     

    I keep hearing your voice inside my head. What you said to me that day.

    “You trust me, right?”

    I did. I do. I always will. I just hate the fact that trusting you meant losing you. To be completely honest I don’t know how I'm supposed to exist without you.

    Summary

    Thomas had no way of knowing how much his arrival had upended Newt’s world. To him it felt Thomas was the answer to a question he'd been asking for three years—though spoken in a foreign language, merely raising more questions; an answer all the same.

    or: The Maze Runner rewrite basically, just altered enough to have movies and books get along with each other. Plus Newtmas :)

    Summary

    At a get-together, Will and Mike wander to the basement, spotting something they are pretty sure they weren’t supposed to see. Both of them, pushed way too far out of their comfort zones, are forced to confront their own thoughts and feelings, fully encouraged and coached by Robin Buckley, Will’s new friend and mentor.

    Summary

    He’s back at the quarry. El never saved him. He continues falling, hearing Will’s voice in his head as he falls. He says, “And us? We’ll never be friends. Not until you see what’s in front of you. See the truth of what you are...You’re a coward, Mike.” Mike is about to hit the water...

    ...when he jolts awake. He is breathing heavily, and his heart races as he takes in his surroundings. He is in the storage closet, on the uncomfortable cot, feeling claustrophobic in his sleeping bag. He sits upwards and tries to regulate his breathing. It was a dream. It wasn’t real. Mike is used to nightmares at this point. He’s had them ever since the day Will went missing, and he has felt uneasy ever since Lucas pointed out that it’s that time of year again.

    OR

    mike has a headache and is under the curse of vecna. canon compliant at least to volume 1, taking more liberties with vol 2 #becauseican lol. addresses the painting, lettergate, a little bit of mwtfdydgate

    POV switches between Mike and Will, sometimes leans a little more omniscient narrator POV
