hey hi helloooo so i'm writing this stranger things fic set between seasons 4 and 5 where mike & lucas are stuck in the upside down and dustin & will have to save them, if anyone's curious!
dustin is grouchy and grieving, mike is making bad[ass] and morally questionable decisions, lucas is trying to survive both mike and the upside down (and he gets a super special visit from someone! 💕), and will is just trying to navigate his newly warped friend group while making damn sure the upside down doesn't take anyone else from them.
fun features:
core four centric—multi-povs between the guys only
eventual byler
lumax, ofc
madwheeler commits arson at some point
dark!mike (idk if that's actually a Thing, but that's what i'm calling him) (not possessed, just… making everyone else a teeny bit uneasy)
powers!will
friendship is magic!!! it’s also the center point for this story. romance comes second fyi
eddie munson is haunting this narrative i'm afraid
