Summary
The teachers of Casper High are acting strange. They're being...nice to Danny? They're not questioning him when he's late, they're going easy on his grading, and the lunch lady even just gave him a double portion for free? What the heck is going on?!
Desperate for answers, Danny decides to go to the one person he knows will somehow be involved; Mr. Lancer. After all, no one knows more about the faculty of Casper High than the Vice Principal, right?

Summary
El has never had a real Valentine’s Day, and she doesn't have the chance to now. Not one with candy, cards, or a date somewhere out in the open - not when her life is still confined to Hopper’s cabin and the long list of rules meant to keep her hidden.
But Mike refuses to let that stop him. With the Party’s romantic expertise, a string of fairy lights, and a secret clearing in the woods, Mike sets out to give El one perfect February night - and maybe ask her a question he’s been carrying around for weeks.

Summary
"Oh horror, oh horror, what did you see?"
Self-Inflicted Injury | Held at Gunpoint | Dissociation______
Twenty-four minutes.
It takes Dick twenty-four minutes to locate Damian after his distress beacon goes off. Twenty-four painful, oxygen-less minutes in which anything could be happening to his little brother.
He lands in the sewers and the smell hits first, acrid and bitter. A puddle of dark, black-blue water splashes underfoot and he glances down the long hallways with a narrowed stare.

Summary
With a hand on either shoulder, he says, “I’m glad you’re all right.”
She lifts her hands, the warmth of her palms wrapping around his wrists. His thumb brushes tenderly along her shoulder, the fur of her coat soft beneath the tips of his fingers.
“Me too,” she says quietly. “But I have you to thank for that.”

Summary
“What can I do to help?” Karadec asked, lips turning down in a frown.
Morgan shrugged her shoulders as best as she could, still in the grasps of Karadec’s large hands.
“Can I have a hug?” Morgan questioned, almost hesitant.

Summary
Mike Wheeler hasn’t cried since the Gate closed.
Hours after Hawkins finally goes quiet, back in a wrecked house stained with dried blood, Mike clings to anything he can keep, a sweater she wore, the clothes he can’t bear to wash, the fading imprint of El’s touch.
And when the night finally makes room for the truth, Nancy is there to hold the moment steady, letting him break without trying to fix him.
Post-series finale, pre-epilogue.

Summary
The only other inevitable issue was, despite her super mom immunities, about 50% of the time her kids would end up sharing their germs with her after they were back to 100%.
It was a flip of a coin, a toss she woke up that morning to discover she’d lost.

Summary
December 1984, and El still stuck in hiding - until Hopper shows up with doughnuts and a miracle: she’s been cleared to leave the cabin for one night. For the Snow Ball.
There’s just one problem…El has no dress, no clue, and no intention of letting Mike see her panic. So Hopper recruits Nancy Wheeler for a top-secret makeover mission. A borrowed dress, a glittering gym waiting, and one stunned boy who thought she’d never come later, El experiences her one night to feel normal - before the clock runs out.
Or, aka, Nancy Wheeler helps El get ready for the Snow Ball.

Summary
The concept of marriage is something Eleven understands. But ‘engaged’ is a word she struggles with.
It’s only when she’s alone with Mike, knees pulled up to her chin in a self-embrace on the sofa, staring off into a dark corner of his basement as his lips caress the skin of her neck, that it clicks. “It’s… halfway married.”
Prompt: 'happiest' & 'engaged' OR: A short story in which we understand Eleven's feelings on marriage (and love outside of being a social construct).

Summary
“You’ve been out of sorts the entire month, running that head of yours ragged with concern.”
“Over what?” Lucas protested.
Mike was silent for a beat, “Don’t make me say it.”
Lucas let out an exhale, rubbing the inner corners of his eyes, if only to give himself a moment to think of a response.
“It’s not worry,” Lucas said at last. “Worry won’t do shit right now, will it? I’m just... praying. And pestering the doctors. I can’t do anything else and that sucks.”
Mike scooted an inch to the side, his knee lightly nudging Lucas, “You’re doing good, buddy. I know Max would appreciate it. I know it.”
A look into Mike and Lucas’s long-standing friendship through conversations and moments shared during their stakeouts.

"Do you trust me?" Mike asked as he led her out of her house to his car.
"Of course, I trust you, Mike." El stopped at the passenger door, peering at him on the other side, "But I don't understand why I have to put this on."
She waved the bandana he had given her at him. Mike sighed lightly, resting his forearms on the top of the car, "I just really, really need you to do it. It's, like, the hugest part of this whole thing."
"Of what whole thing?"

Summary
Fresh flowers always sat on the center of the small table in the kitchen by the window, colorful cushions on the couch, trinkets she picked up from the bookstore. It wasn’t much, but it was enough. Her things kept her company, even if her heart yearned for more.
Until Mike. Mike, who left everything and everyone behind to be with her. Who slowly started to make this place his own as well—that’s when she started to really notice the changes.

Summary
El lay in bed that night, feeling so much in her chest. She’d heard it be called overwhelmed. Her mission to find new hobbies had been going better than she had imagined. She hadn’t wanted to admit it to herself in the beginning, but she had felt some fear going in. Fear that she wouldn’t be good at anything, fear that she already missed out on precious opportunities to learn something new. How wrong she had been.
/Or: With the help of the Party, and Hopper, El discovers more of the world around her and identifies her likes and dislikes

Summary
Having her back in his life felt nothing short of a miracle. One that he would never stop being grateful for. When she smiled, when she laughed, when she merely existed beside him–Mike was full of a joy–a gratitude–he didn’t have words for. He wasn’t sure there even were adequate words in the English language. He could say that he was so happy it brought him to tears, or that things felt somehow lighter than ever before. But those sentiments would always fall short of the intensity of his elation.
/or: four times mikes senses were overwhelmed by el, and one time el reminiscences about him
