Part 1 of a 2-part story, set between the events of Stranger Things Season 3 and Season 4.
After the battle of Starcourt, Max Mayfield carries more than anyone can see. Her friends are there - but sometimes even friends aren't enough. Told in the quiet spaces between canon events, this story follows Max as she struggles with trauma, fear, guilt, and the weight of everything she's lost -and everything she's afraid to have again - until someone unexpected enters her life. Someone who listens. Someone who stays. Someone who cares in ways Max didn't think were possible.
This is the story of Max beginning to heal and find herself again. A story about trust, understanding, sisterly love, and chosen family - about discovering that home isn't just a place, and that family isn't always the one you're born into. And about learning, slowly and painfully, that everyone deserves to be fought for - including yourself.
