    Summary

    Steve made a promise to himself then, sitting there in Carol Perkins’ spare room in a hellish version of Hawkins, that he was going to stop at nothing to find a way to get them both out of here. He felt the words settle into his bones, an undeniable truth that he had put out into the universe, unable to take back. An oath that nothing could force him to willingly break - He was going to get Will back home. He was going to keep him safe.

    -

    Instead of Barbra Holland being taken by the Demogorgon, Steve Harrington is grabbed instead. This is a fact that changes everything.

    Now he must survive alongside a missing kid, all while being hunted by a monster. Neither Steve nor Will realise the effect this will have on more than just themselves, or on the world.

    Or

    Will and Steve’s journey through the Upside Down.

    Summary

    It's summer in Hawkins. It has been a year since the possession, and Will Byers is doing his best to navigate through change. While everyone else seems busy falling in love, he forces a smile, desperately trying to be normal. He tries to keep up with his friends, holding onto the childhood they seem eager to leave behind. He swallows his frustrations, hiding the fear that never really left. His walls crumbling, and as he desperately tries to keep them standing, the Mind Flayer returns.

    But despite everything, a boy—confident, athletic, and surprisingly nerdy—suddenly comes into his life. Chance Lawson inadvertently becomes Will’s friend, joining the Party (?), changing the course of his fate. He carries an easy confidence, but beneath it lies a cautious, sympathetic heart that understands Will’s silence. He steps in with a gentle warmth that feels completely new, proving to Will that he doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on his own.

    Then, maybe Will’s summer wouldn’t be as awful as it could’ve been.
