From 1984 and for many years to come, they shared countless stories together. No matter which chapter you chose, every one of them was filled with love.

Moving from the wreckage of 1987 into the hope of the years beyond, this saga is about more than just surviving. It's about two people who refused to let go, proving that "always" isn't just a destination-it's the long, winding road they choose to walk together, one step at a time. Or how's Max life after the final battle. With Lucas, who always stay by her side.

The Upside Down proves that horror doesn't need to roar to kill. After Max and Lucas slip through a hidden rift in the Creel House, they encounter a strange, glowing flower that coats them in sweet, glowing spores. The true nightmare comes afterward. With no understanding of the creature that poisoned them-and no way to reverse what's happening-the two are trapped in a silent fight against their own bodies, facing a fate far more terrifying than death by monster. Will they be prepared to handle the consequences? Season 4 subplot, interweaves with canon. A huge alternative-universe

In this quiet town, Max Mayfield arrived hoping to disappear into a new life, leaving behind the horrible past she had in California. It didn't matter if she had to live in a cramped trailer with her mom and little brother, as long as they were far away from it all. But life was harsh to her, it never let her catch a break. On top of that, the world was too small to truly escape. A piece of that past was here. He was here. And in this quiet town, Lucas Sinclair thought he had left the past completely behind. He had a perfect life that contrasted sharply with the one he had in posh California. It didn't matter if his house was smaller than their old dream house, as long as it was warm and safe. But life had a way of surprising him in ways he never expected. The world was too small for him to avoid his past forever. A piece of that past was here. She was here. They didn't talk. They didn't reconnect. They avoided each other as if the past had never happened. As they were strangers. She had tried, really. To cover the guilt. And he had tried, honestly. To forget the pain. Until Hawkins started to unravel. Girls began to go missing, and Max and Lucas were pulled into the same dangerous orbit.

Max faces challenges with recovering from her coma and grieving the loss of her best friend, but doesn't face them alone. Lucas along with the rest of the party help her through tough times. Lumax focused (obviously :P) Takes place between the final battle and the epilogue. Thought I'd make a Lumax story since the Stranger Things fandom is slowly dying.

The story of what happens in between those 18 months post the final battle and high school graduation. Max's recovery. Her relationship journey with Lucas. Lucas growing up into the man his father always taught him to be. (Highly suggest listening to songs while reading it's intentionally) (Not related to my other Lumax Series.) I do not own these characters: Thank you to the Duffer brothers who do. Enjoy!!

This is a stranger things fanfic focused around Lucas and Max's relationship. This takes place in season five of the show. I do not own any of the characters- credits to the duffer brothers. This is my first story and I'm only 14 so sorry it's not amazing! Enjoy <3
