Continues immediately after the events of Stranger Things, season 5 episode 7. Basically the finale, but written by someone who actually cares about queer representation. Mike did NOT deserve that absolute assassination and I WILL be doing him right. In other words, a fix-it fic based on my last byler theory on my YouTube channel, in which we get a Mike-central finale where byler is canon. I do want to clarify I only watched the finale once and I refuse to watch it again so I might get some plot points wrong but you guys don't care anyway because no one likes the finale.

There is evil hidden below Hawkins. It comes and hides away, but never truly leaves. It kills, takes, hurts those who least deserve it. But it also brings people together. It creates strong fighters. And sometimes, it writes love stories. Somehow, Skylar Brown is a victim of all. Max Mayfield x f!oc
