Little Stranger Things things
> Jonathan & Will start sharing a room. Between their combined PTSD and the fact that they both keep waking up screaming from horrible nightmares, knowing someone is close by and that theyâre safe really helps
> Mike leaves up Elâs little fort in the basement and sometimes when heâs really missing her he sneaks downstairs and will sleep there
> Nancy takes up boxing. And baseball. And archery. And martial arts. And she talks to Chief Hopper about becoming a cadet. Anything and everything she can do to make sure she can protect her loved ones
> Nobody notices, but Steve starts suffering from paranoia. I mean, he saw a monster crawl out of Jonathanâs house ceiling. He startles at any type of flickering light and begins sleeping with a box of weapons under his bed
> Jonathan, Nancy, and Steve all start dating. Everyone theyâre close with donât care because three teens in a relationship is a lot more normal then a monster, the upside down, and a little psychic girl combined
> Lucas and Dustin leave clothes for El in the woods. They bring coats and long pants in the fall and winter, and different colored dresses and sandals in the spring and summer. Dustin wanted to leave El weapons too, but Lucas reminded him that she doesnât need those because she has superpowers. Oddly enough, theyâve never run into Hopper and so they just assume itâs Mike who leaves the waffles
> Nancy, Jonathan, and Steve all have each others numbers memorized for when the PTSD gets really bad
> Mike doesnât go to that years snowball. Or any other school dance for that matter. He refuses to go to any school dance until El comes back and he can go with her
> Willâs âflashesâ to the upside down only get worse and worse. When it starts happening in the middle of school, he gets REALLY worried and has to act even harder than before that everythingâs ok because his friends and family have already been though much and he doesnât want to worry them more
> After just barley managing to warn his friends about the bad men, Lucas never leaves them again. He has to know where they are at all times and if he doesnât he begins to get the symptoms of a panic attack. Every night he calls them before bed to make sure theyâre still safe. If Mike and Dustin find it annoying he doesnât care. He is never letting something like that happen ever again
> Unbeknownst to literally anyone else, Dustin is secretly looking for El. He has a lot of compasses, he knows about the magnetic force to the upside down, and he is 112% determined to bring their friend back
> It goes without saying that Joyce is beyond prepared to adopt El. She helped out everyone, expeshally her, and she already felt a really strong bond with the girl during the whole swimming pool thing. Sheâs already set up a room for El (complete with a canopy bed) and has a closet full of clothes for her. Itâs a mix of everything because she doesnât know what exactly El prefers to wear. She starts referring to El as her daughter and itâs even rubbed off on her sons. They both often start referring to El as their sister
