Post-season3 Stories

It's been 3 years since the Byers left Hawkins, Indiana. It's been 3 years since they Byers have set foot in Hawkins. It's been 3 years since El last saw her father, Hopper. It's been 2 and a half years since Mike saw his first girlfriend, El, having last seen her during Thanksgiving. 3 years after the events of 1985, Mike still misses her like crazy, and so does El - however (even though Will speaks more to Mike than what El does), either really know what the other looks like anymore.

Steve Harrington never expected that surviving Starcourt would be the easy part. Forced to leave Hawkins behind, he finds himself starting over in Chicago with little more than two suitcases, a handful of phone numbers, and memories he can't seem to escape. As he slowly builds a new routine, new friendships begin to bloom-and so does the possibility of a future he never imagined.

After the explosion of angst that was Season 3, one-shots/prompts/fix-it fics about the season ❤️

Show divergence point: Emma and Killian just got back from the time travel adventure, Regina is pissed because Marian is here, Emma has decided to stay in Storybrooke, Neal's introduction day ended. Henry is staying the night with his grandparents. Let's say it's the middle of the night. Writing this because I'm a bit frustrated with the show and believe that it is breaking its own canon, so I thought I'd try my hand at trying to write something satisfactorily.
