Summary
"The worst moment in Karen Wheeler’s life was not in fact when she and Holly were attacked by that terrible thing, that monster, but rather the long three days of waiting that followed...."
This is a short canon-complaint Stranger Things 5 fanfic with some extra moments that I was hoping to see on-screen with Karen Wheeler and her kids. We got some great Karen scenes this season, but I wanted even more!
This fic explores:
--> Karen's POV from the hospital
--> Holly's POV after the final fight
--> Karen's reunion with Holly (and also Mike and Nancy)
--> Karen learning about everything that her kids have been up to since Will first went missing.
--> Ted Wheeler doing absolutely nothingWARNING CONTAINS STRANGER THINGS 5 SPOILERS

WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE WAY HOME SEASON 2 FINALE
Having leapt into the pond in the year 1814, Jacob feels himself being dragged downward with an ominous fear-inducing pull that he has not felt since that fateful summer night twenty-four years ago. The feeling leaves as suddenly as it came, and Jacob breaches the surface of the pond, gulping in big gasping breaths...
Jacob Landry has finally found his way home.
...
Basically I'm so annoyed about the cliffhanger in the Season 2 Finale that I decided to continue it myself. Happiness and gloriously soapy drama to ensue, hope you enjoy!

Summary
In Hawkins, time doesn't heal; it simply buries secrets beneath layers of asphalt and silence. For nearly thirty years, Joyce Byers lived between grief and survival, always keeping her eyes on the road, waiting for a ghost that never admitted to being there. Karen Wheeler, on the other hand, built an empire of pearls and rehearsed smiles to hide the marks that monsters, both literal and metaphorical left on her skin.
When Karen’s mask of perfection finally shatters under the Indiana rain, she finds herself at Joyce’s door, undone and real for the very first time. Between exposed scars and the weight of decades of repressed longing, Joyce decides she is done waiting. Tonight, there is no room for pretenses or ghosts. There is only hunger, truth, and the overdue realization that love, much like survival, is an act of fire.

How Many Fates Turn Around In The Overtime? by ThatLesbian

Summary
In 1987, on the day the group faced their final battle with the Upside Down and all its monsters, everything changed. They lost one of their own, and nobody felt that loss more than Nancy.
For five years she’s had to deal with something worse than any monster she’s ever faced, her grief. If you can call trying not to think about it and getting drunk off her ass when she does think about it “dealing with it”.
Avoiding it hasn’t worked. So when she gets the call that Steve is finally a dad, a trip to Hawkins brings everything crashing back all at once.
Nancy will have to confront things she hasn’t in five years and attempt to get closure from the guilt she’s carried just as long. Except, it’s much more complicated than that when she finds herself given a second chance to change the way things play out.
