Summary
Will doesn’t know how long this lasts for, just that when he finally stops weightlessly crashing into his own memories, it’s because he’s crushed the coffee cup in his hand, and scalding hot water splatters across his chest and lap.
At least, it feels scalding.
Because He likes it cold.
Will can’t do anything but stare at nothing, sweat dripping down his back. The feeling passes – there’s nothing tugging at him anymore. But he remains utterly frozen.
Turns out, there really is nowhere to run. No airplane that can take you high enough.
Stupid. So stupid.
OR
It’s been 5 years since the Upside Down was destroyed, and with it, the Mind Flayer and his creatures. Will is running from the past; Mike can’t seem to move on from it. Lucas and Max are navigating what it might mean to be in it for life, and Dustin… well, he just misses the action. But it looks like he’s about to get what he wants, because the Mind Flayer wasn’t a singular entity, and some stories don’t end when they’re supposed to.

Summary
He fell, and the galaxy kept turning.
Fifteen years after his fall, Luke Skywalker tends his gardens in a Force-null prison on Myrkr: isolated, monitored, and mostly forgotten by the galaxy he once tried to save.
Then Mara Jade shows up dying from a Vong bioweapon, and suddenly the Republic might have a use for a caged Sith Lord after all.
The question is whether Luke Skywalker can be trusted to save the galaxy – or if letting him out will just give them a different kind of apocalypse.
"When have impossible tasks ever stopped me before?"
Or: I present for your enjoyment: "what if the NR took Dark Empire seriously," combined with "what if the Vong War but you ignore all of the EU after Dark Empire," plus "what if dark-ish! Luke during the NJO." If that sounds fun, you are my people.

Summary
“How was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here?”
It's December 1999. The world holds its breath for the new millennium, and the survivors of Hawkins have spent the last twelve years lying to themselves.
Mike hides in fiction. Will hides in art. The rest hide in marriages, careers, and the false security of conformity. But when a mysterious child knocks on Mike's door with a diary and the Hive Mind violently reawakens inside Will, the illusion shatters.
Eleven's sacrifice didn't buy them peace. It only bought Vecna the time he needed.
The miracle of 1987 was remission. Now, the disease is back.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.
Will Byers was never found Au
