Since the duffer brothers absolutely queerbaited and bombed byler for season five, I want to rewrite season five with my own narrative so we arent queer baited and get the love story everybody wants. Season Five of Stranger Things was supposed to be Hawkins' darkest hour-but what if the story unfolded the way it should have? This is a rewrite that keeps the stakes high, the suspense real, and the Hawkins gang at the center, without the distraction of extra kids or queerbaiting. Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have always been at the heart of it, their bond deeper than Hawkins can ever understand. Through terror, heartbreak, and mind-bending horrors, they navigate a world that's trying to tear them apart-without ever realizing how much they mean to each other. Hawkins isn't the same without Will-and Mike's about to realize that the person he's been searching for all along has been right in front of him.
