Summary
A cheer captain, king of his local high school, and a soon-to-be-banished freak walk into the Creel Murder House when they were six and seven years old...
Follow Rosie Salazar, Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson as they grow up together in Hawkins, Indiana. What does it mean to be best friends? What does it mean to be Mexican-American in the Midwest? What does it mean to protect the ones you love and how far are you willing to go?
Inspired heavily by many head cannons, canon and canon-compliant works. Also incredibly inspired by my own family's personal accounts of being Mexican-American in the 1950s-present day.

Summary
It was a random Saturday when Eddie stopped to stare at the guitar yet again, and Wayne stopped beside him, glancing up at the pale instrument in the window. “I know, Uncle Wayne. I just… I know we can’t get it. I just want one so badly.” Eddie’s reflection stared back at him from the glass, his eyes too dark in the dim light.
“You want one, huh?” Wayne rubbed a big hand along his jaw, letting out an exaggerated sigh. “I’ll tell you what - if you really want one, and you’re sure about it, I’ll get you one.”
“REALLY!?!” Eddie’s eyes widened as he spun to look at his uncle.
“Yeah, but one one condition. And it won’t be up for debate.” Wayne crouched so they were eye level with one another. “You can have a guitar to play whenever you’re visiting me, but you have to let me teach you how to play the fiddle too.”
Or - The story of how Eddie Munson was (un)lucky enough to end up in the small town of Hawkins

Summary
The year is 1983 and Mary-Elizabeth MacKinley, 'Mac' to her friends, is a sarcastic, sharp-edged teen just trying to get through life in Hawkins, Indiana. But then, the unthinkable happens—a boy disappears, and something dark stirs beneath the surface of the small town. While she’s busy navigating her job at Vinyl Frontier, babysitting Dustin Henderson, and dealing with her complicated friendships, she’s drawn into a dangerous new reality. Haunted by nightmares and the weight of what she’s seen, Mac struggles to reconcile her normal life with the horrors of the Upside Down. Along the way, she forms unexpected bonds, particularly with Steve Harrington, whose own insecurities mirror hers in surprising ways.
Amid the chaos, Mac leans on the two people who know her best: Robin, her eccentric best friend, and Eddie Munson, her... well she's not quite sure what he is exactly. Though her connections provide her with moments of levity and understanding, her relationship with both of them grows increasingly complicated as she struggles to keep the horrors of Hawkins hidden.
THIS IS SET DURING SEASON ONE. EACH SEASON WILL HAVE A SEPERATE FIC IN THIS SERIES! <3

Summary
The Munson brothers had never been close. That didn’t matter. When Al called to announce the birth of his son, he admitted right away that he and the boy’s mother, Liz, had yet to decide on a name. They had taken care of everything else, the nursery with its fresh yellow paint, the stuffed animals and picture books, and top-shelf formula, but not the most important thing. Who would he be? What kind of man? (...)
“It’ll come to you.” Why call if not for reassurance? They had never been close, but one of them had been born with a brother to look up to. “Sounds like he’ll be livin’ the life of Riley.”Series

Summary
They find themselves retracing their steps to the football field. It’s the only path with a destination: the Hagans had sold their house after Tommy’s little brother left for college, Steve’s childhood home isn’t close enough to walk, and the general store where they’d stock up on cigarettes and snacks had been leveled. A dying strip mall sits in its place now.
The school isn’t the same, of course. It didn’t take the brunt of the damage, but in the three years that Steve had been teaching there, he had yet to make it to the end of the workday without the sounds of construction sending him off. It’s a welcome sound at least. Life goes on.(Or: a thirty-year reunion)

Summary
Hawkins is cursed? It’s more likely than you’d think. But not in the way you may think?
————
Jujutsu sorcerers hide in plain sight in Hawkins, Indiana, training their techniques and exorcizing the common Grade 4’s that occupy sites of misery, like the school grounds.
That all changes when Will Byers goes missing. His friends team up and find him trapped in the Domain known as the Upside Down with the help of Grade 2 sorcerer Eleven.
After years of misadventures and adding new Party members, the group just wants to live a normal life. But a new Special Grade makes itself known by murdering troubled high schoolers while the closest now Grade 1 (technically Grade 4 with the loss of her technique) sorcerer is all the way in California.
The Party battles fading hope of success when they find out that the local freak, Eddie Munson, is just the high-ranking sorcerer they need.
Can they convince him to help? Even if he does, will they all escape this nightmare unscathed?

“A ghost,” Mike whispered.
“What?” said Will.

Or:
It's 1977, and Will and Mike have never been more excited for Halloween. But a mysterious ghostly presence turns their night of fun into one of terror... -
