    Summary

    Life in Hawkins is a struggle, but people are doing their best to return to some kind of normal. Even with a tear in the earth, and what amounts to hell spilling out into their world. Vecna sleeps, but his evil lurks, and his presence, his malice, spreads. While Jim Hopper wants nothing more than to enjoy his blossoming romance with Joyce Byers and spend time raising his supernaturally powered daughter, the Upside Down has no room for happiness. When some of the remaining denizens of a quickly emptying Hawkins begin exhibiting strange, violent and mindless behavior, it's up to the usual crew to find the source and put an end to the chaos. Of course, when the faces of their enemies are those of their friends, things quickly get a lot more complicated.

    I wrote about 30 chapters of this story before the new season started! So forgive things that no longer make sense <3

    Summary

    Two years after the fall of Vecna, the world believes the nightmare is over.

    Hawkins has begun to heal. The rifts are sealed. The survivors have grown older, scattered by time, grief, and the quiet lie that evil was finally defeated.

    But the darkness that nearly destroyed their world was never bound to just Hawkins.

    Far from Indiana, in the Nevada desert, a hidden cave system—once the site of secret government experiments and the origin of Henry Creel’s transformation—stirs again.

    As strange disturbances begin to surface across the country, old connections awaken. Will feels something wrong—something distant, familiar, and growing. Max is haunted by shadows that refuse to stay buried. Hopper notices patterns no one wants to believe in. And somewhere in the margins, a girl thought lost to history still lives.

    To face the darkness again, the group must reunite to confront a truth more terrifying than before:

    The war didn’t end. And this was just the beginning.
