  5. Summary



    This series celebrates a variety of ways David and Patrick find each other as pen pals. A group of writer friends, who love when i'm with you it feels like home by Hullomoon, were inspired to create this series in a desperate need to add more pen pal fics to the fandom. The last three in the series are connected and the remainder are unrelated/standalone.

    In July 1987, the final showdown with Vecna begins, and Steve dies in the same way Eddie did: being a distraction to save the others. Vecna is too strong, though, and the only way for the others to save Hawkins and the world is to work with the scientists to find another timeline--a literal alternate universe--and merge that one with theirs. El finds a timeline with no Upside Down, and when they merge, everyone who was killed by Vecna over the years comes back to life.

    Featuring: everyone recalling memories from the new timeline, Barb/Steve friendship, and lots of introspection and therapy.

    Phenomenal. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Summary

    “I was thinking, and you know what would be fun? A bet.”

    “What?” Patrick asks confused.

    “Some friendly competition, Brewer. Something to spice things up.”

    “What kind of bet?” Patrick asks suspiciously.

    Brock’s grin turns dangerous. “I bet you can’t get David Rose to sleep with you.”

    -

    A high school AU about bets, art, Elvis Presley and hopefully finding yourself in between.

    Summary

    “She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.

    “Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”

    “Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”

    Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”

    Oh, did that ache.

     

    (Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)
