Summary
Will Byers is starting his sophomore year with his friends at Hawkins High School. It's going to be the Best Year Ever, full of DnD and art and Normal High School Things. It has to be because that's the promise he made to get his brother out the door and living his own life in college instead of stuck living Will's life with him.
Jonathan Byers is starting his freshman year at Emerson College with the love of his life. The dining hall makes all the meals, everyone is happy to share their weed, he has no responsibilities besides good grades.
Everything is great. Everything is amazing. Everything is perfect. It's supposed to be perfect. Why does it still not feel perfect?
Or, Will and Jonathan struggle in the peaceful aftermath, but no one - especially each other - is allowed to know that.

Summary
The scene they drove up to flashes behind her eyes: Will like a ragdoll in Mike’s arms, Joyce screaming in Hopper’s. The expression on her brother’s face chilled her to the bone, and it has not changed.
A small moment between the Wheeler siblings immediately following the lab attack in 2x08.

Summary
“I used to sleep there,” Harry snaps.
He’s breathing hard. He feels like he’s run a marathon, even though he’s just sitting there uselessly, staring at a perfectly ordinary cupboard.
“What?” Sirius says.

Summary
They have Shepard’s pie for dinner. Ron and Hermione watch Harry fill up his plate and only start serving themselves when he picks up his fork and starts eating. Neville laughs into his wine glass.
“How are you dealing with their mothering, Harry?” he asks.
Ron opens and closes his mouth for a minute, groping for an excuse. Eventually, Ron says, “He’s just so small, Nev.”
“Hey,” Harry says. “I’m seventeen. I’m an adult.”
Ron shakes his head at Neville. “My best friend is an infant.”
A curse regresses Harry to his seventeen year old self, physically and mentally. He doesn’t recognise this strange peaceful wizarding world, but there are two people he does recognise: Ron and Hermione. Based off this tumblr post.

Summary
“You don’t have hope?” She asks suddenly, voicing the question that had been ringing through her mind since she realized his meaning. “You don’t think we’ll win?”
He stares at her, brow furrowed. “Yeah… no, I mean I think we will, eventually.” His voice is tense, airy.
“But you don’t think you’re going to…” she can’t say it, not yet, “... have a career?”
He watches her closely. He’s looking for something. Those wide green eyes are watching as she comes to the realization that the prick of tears are forming in the corners of her own.
“Did you… really think that I would?”

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”
Or, a
