After the move, life brings a lot of changes for Will and El Byers. Not all of them bad. #Season4Siblings

It's summer vacation, 1985. After everything that's happened in the past two years, Will just wants to go back to the way things were - and the Party seems to be racing on ahead, leaving him behind as they get swept up in the new adventure of being teenagers. But when something darker threatens to reenter their lives, the Party has more to deal with than just summer shenanigans.

Will she ever uncover the truth behind the lies?

This is a continuation of my first story, The Snowball Effect. This story begins halfway through the party's freshman year of high school. Canon pairings, light romance, family situations, general fluff. Thank you for reading! Please review :)

It's the summer of 1988 when the Byers family finally manage to go on holiday, as far away from Hawkins, Indiana as possible. The small town of Carmel-by-the-Sea seems calm and beautiful at first, and it is perfect. But after Will Byers meets some strange new friends, things take a turn. People start to go missing, and this girl, Jane, seems to know more than she is letting on.

There was something inside of Will, quiet enough that he could ignore it most of the time. It started to grow louder, though, ceasing to bother hiding itself. It manifested itself in the ways he wasn't like other kids, in the knot he got in his stomach when his friends talked about girls and he felt like he couldn't say anything without someone seeing right through him.

Heather Fisk's method for surviving in Hell's Kitchen is simple; keep her head down, and never ask any questions. This is especially true when it comes to her brother, Wilson. It works, until the Devil of Hell's Kitchen arrives on the scene, because he is asking questions; lots of them. And Heather ends up exactly where she doesn't want to be - in the middle of Wilson's mess.

Updated summary: Hopper and Eleven, beginning December 12, 1983. Because two untrusting people who've been hurt in the past don't become a father/daughter pair overnight.

Mike leaves for college, and El stays in Hawkins. The long-distance thing works out, for a time, until a positive pregnancy test turns their world upside down. They'll figure it out, because that's what they always do. How hard can parenting be, really? Turns out, pretty damn hard.

A series of loosely related one-shots set in an AU I am developing for a longer, traditional work. In this world, Eleven accidentally closed the gate and remained trapped in the Upside-Down after S1 and Mike dedicates his life to finding a way to bring her home.

I'm just killing time until Season 3 imagining how that year will go because I love these characters and it makes me sad to be without them. Amending this summary one last time now that this story knows what it wants to be when it grows up. Post Season 2, lots of fluff, a bit of plot, primarily a Hopper & Eleven, Mile/Eleven story, but damn near everyone's in it.

Multi part AU Post Season 3 Getting it right never seemed so difficult, the right clothes worn the wrong way, trying to cheer up family members only to get more than he bargained for, you just never know what will happen when you're young and embrace change.
