    Summary

    April of 2020, Ren Amamiya has a chance encounter with Masayoshi Shido that sends his life careening out of control.

    In February of 2021, just months before he leaves his hometown of Inaba to head to Tokyo, he has a chance encounter with classmate Nanako Dojima.

    When Nanako finds out Ren is being forced to leave for the big city, she can't let go of the injustice.

    And follows him.

    --

    This is a what-if: What if the "small town" that Joker lived in was Inaba? What if the XX in 20XX was 2021, 10 years after the events of Persona 4? What if Nanako still needed to settle the shadows of the events of her childhood?

    It's Showtime!

    Summary

    Ren thought that after he and Morgana got sent back in time, he’d have to relive the last 7 years of his life before he’d ever see a Shadow again. But it turns out the Metaverse isn’t the only place where Shadows lurk, and Iwatodai has more secrets than he ever expected.

    Summary

    Truth be told, she hadn’t meant to wait exactly eleven years.

    The days are long but peaceful. It took a while—almost two years, to be precise—for the tension to release from her muscles. To finally relax within the walls of her small apartment, or out under the Icelandic sun, and no longer feel as though she is being hunted, watched. She had to remind herself, actively, waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with a frightful whimper or a wanting name on her lips, that Hawkins was some three thousand miles away. That no one is looking for a girl named Eleanor Iverson in Hella, Iceland.

    Summary

    “It’s like something’s been on your mind for a while and you’re not—you’re just keeping it to yourself.”

    Her throat works. “Am I not allowed to do that?”

    She doesn’t mean to sound defensive, but the words come out like that anyway. Mike blinks, a little surprised and she can’t blame him for it, but the gentleness of his voice doesn’t fade. “Of course you are,” he says with a nod. Never one to deny her anything. 

    It sends an aching pang through her chest. He’s always on her side, puts her above everyone else—including himself. He has shown it to her time and time again, proved to her repeatedly that nothing is more important to him than she is. And that—that worries her.

    Summary

    It happens almost too fast for her to be afraid.

    As soon as El hears the tires popping on Hopper's truck, she knows the military has caught up to them. She unlaces her arm from Mike's, and as soon as the truck jolts with impact, she rolls out of the truck, hitting the ground hard, almost exactly at the border between the Upside Down and the Right Side Up.

    She wants to scream at the cruelty of it all. Just as she accepted hope, it gets ripped out from beneath her, dreams shattering like porcelain under her feet.

    Kali was right. Happiness isn't how the story goes for someone like her.

    OR

    Mikes' theory is wrong, but El survives the collapse of the Upside Down anyway, ending up trapped in the world where they killed Vecna less than an hour ago. Stuck in a foreign world with no way back, El wallows in misery before deciding to get revenge for Papa's program and open up another wormhole for her to come home. Because she was the one who created the Upside Down in the first place, so why can't she do it again to get back home?

    And Mike, after accepting his grief for the first time in 18 months, learns there's nothing in the universe strong enough to get between El and her happy ending.

    Summary

    What was he supposed to do? Settle for a life with someone he could never give his whole heart to? Smile politely and pretend he wasn’t hollow? Go to work, come home, sleep beside a stranger who deserved more than the scraps of affection he could offer?

    Turn into both of his parents?

    Fuck that.

    or, an attempt at rectifying that misogynistic dumpster fire of an ending

    Summary

    If you asked Mike Wheeler, he'd tell you he spent his childhood in a sci-fi horror story. At least that's what he picked up from college writing classes. He had no idea he'd spend his adult years in a Rom-com.

    "Coming” Mike called with a roll of his eyes. Pulling open, he saw.. no one.

    “Down here” a voice spoke. Mike glanced down to see something that caused his heart to stop for a moment. A young girl wearing a yellow T-Shirt. She looked.. she looked like…

    "I'm your daughter"

    "What?"

    "I found you in the void"

    "What?"

    "Then I came here"

    "What?"

    "Mama said you were smart, you do not seem very smart"

    Summary

    Eight years since her supposed death, Eleven did not expect to come across a familiar face from her Hawkins days. Neither did Steve Harrington, when he saw her in a bookstore cafe in Iceland.

    From him, she learned about what happened to everyone since then, especially a certain new writer that she could never forget.

    -

    “What is this?” Eleven stared at the navy blue notebook lying in front of her, not understanding where Steve was going with this.

    “Mike’s notebook.”

    She looked at him, startled, then her eyes returned to the notebook. Hesitantly, she flipped open the first page, and she let out a soft gasp.

    Dear Eleanor

    It was his handwriting, each cursive character tilted slightly leftward in the same manner as all the letters he wrote her back then.
