Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”
Or, a
fix-it ficmodern-gothic take on Will Byers' story in Season 5 .Series

Summary
She leans into the pain, gasping, till it centers her, till her mind clears, till the ghosts of her childhood - as brief and tempestuous as it was - are shuttered away.
Still though, their words echo dimly in the far corners of her mind. This is what happens when you get close to people, they say. This is what happens when you let your guard down.
She shudders, pushes off of the wall. The thermos tumbles from its perch and falls the long way to the ground, banging tinnily against a rock or a tree root or something. Ellie curses and wipes her hair out of her eyes, leans over to see where it landed-
-and freezes, her breath suddenly cold in her chest.
At the edge of the woods, cloaked in the sage lace dripping from the boughs of the sheltering cottonwoods, something is watching her, its eyes gleaming luridly in the electric light of the coming storm.

There is something in the woods outside of Jackson.

Summary
“Never answered my question, by the way,” Arthur added, looking to the stranger again. “Don’t think I ever caught your name.”
The stranger shook his head, exhaling smoke. “It doesn’t matter,” he answered, frankly. “To you, I’m just a Strange Man.”
Arthur grunted, taking another drag. “You’re certainly that,” he agreed, blowing out smoke again. “So—what, then? You comin’ to tell me I’m dead?”
The Strange Man looked out over the vale for a long moment. “Do you think you’re dead, Arthur?” he finally asked.
