  Summary

  Two years. Two years since Y/N and everyone else’s lives were forever changed. November 6th, 1983; Y/N’s younger brother’s friend,Will, went missing and eventually “found dead”. Of course, he was never dead, he was stuck in the Upside Down for days. Eleven, from Hawkins Lab, was able to kill the demogorgon. Y/N thought everything should have gone back to normal after that.
  Oh, how wrong she was. Turns out, that was just the beginning.
  She was supposed to get everything under control in her junior year. But of course, nothing ever goes the way as planned in Y/N’s life.

  Updates will be slow b/c of school/finals coming up (sorry!)
  I might make a prequel for seasons 1 and 2, it just depends on how this fic goes!
  +I can prob make a gender neutral or male reader version of this fic if anyone wants that!
