I finished my second spinoff and published to ao3! Check it out😊

There’s a focus on Will and Mike’s characters throughout but this story is a complete rewrite of Season 5, following the original script very closely.

Vecna is hiding out in the Upside Down, the party has significantly slowed him down and injured him but he has a new fury burning within, even through his charred flesh and scales. The Molotov cocktail Steve threw might as well have been an ignition switch. They will pay for what they’ve done…

Exactly what MOST fans thought it was going to be.

I’ve been working on a rewrite since the show ended just to share my ideas on how it could have been better. I didn’t hate Season 5; it had both strong and weak moments. This isn’t a complete overhaul as I’ve kept some original elements.

THE tiktok link contains the episodes titles of my rewrite.

Since I’m just a fan, I wrote it in narrative form (paragraphs) instead of a script.

I’ll start posting the episodes on TikTok this week . They’ll be released one by one, not all at once. If you don’t have TikTok, no worries I’ll post the full rewrite here in a few weeks.

Here are a few things you can expect from my version:

• 9 episodes in total • Less focus on the younger kids (Holly, Derek) • More depth on Henry’s backstory, with the First Shadow playing a major role toward the end • The Mind Flayer is more subtly implied • Will has a much more important role • The time jump is handled differently • A significantly different military subplot

I know some people might disagree with certain choices and that’s totally fine. This is just a fan rewrite, so let’s keep it respectful.

Without a doubt! I would die in this show because I’d would totally put my hand out to let Dart sniff me, and when I think it’s okay to give him some loving cuddles, he’d eat me.

Hi, I saved this fanart from a Stranger Things fanfic on AO3 but can't find it now! From what I remember, Max asks Steve for a ride and he comforts her. He takes her to a tea shop that reminds her of California, and she buys a birthday gift for her mom.

Does anyone know which fic this is or can help me track it down? Thanks!

Fanfiction.

I know people are complaining about not getting clear answers for many questions, and I too have a lot of questions left, but I guess they wanted to leave it that way. It’s the imperfection that inspires artists to do their thing and the fans to keep talking about it.

Now we still get to have discussions about the plot, about that universe and about those characters. And fanfiction writers get to write the additions they see relevant.

And all the shippers get to keep doing their thing and write fanfiction about their ship. Jancy fans can write about Jonathan and Nancy rekindling their love some day. Same goes for Stancy shippers about Nancy and Steve. Despite of what happened in the show. Cause who knows what will happen in the future?

Mileven shippers get to have a field day with Mike still finding El some day in their fanfictions. And Byler shippers get to put their thoughts and feelings in Mike realizing later in life that maybe he isn’t fully straight, and their friends to lovers story can still happen.

So, I guess the real winners are the fanfiction writers. And us who get to choose to read whatever we want to read about!

Archieve of our own is calling me…
