Summary
When Max first drives away from the Citadel and the world that Furiosa and the wives must build together, he doesn't know what he is looking for. Only that he follows the ghosts that had once chased him, and what they lead him to may just be the healing he didn't think possible.
(Basically, Max finds a young child out in the Waste and once again becomes an accidental father figure.)

Summary
I said, “What makes the ocean different to the sea?”
“Bigger,” said my father. “An ocean is much bigger than the sea. Why?”
“Just thinking,” I said. “Could you have an ocean that was as small as a pond?”A Sherlock/Neil Gaiman fusion in which I basically take the idea behind Ocean at the End of the Lane and insert John and Sherlock and let them run wild.

Summary
Phil Callahan has made a large variety of strange arrests in his time working as a cop for Hawkins, Indiana. Daylight skinny-dippers; a small group of old ladies who’d attempted to rob the corner shop with their umbrellas, a guy who’d stolen a total of eighteen gnomes from his suburban neighborhood.
But pulling over Max Mayfield driving her brother’s Camaro at the ripe age of thirteen was pretty insane. Sure, kids will be kids and kids will be crazy. Until Steve Harrington crawled out of the backseat, clutched his knees and horror-movie hurled blood all over his boots and shit got crazier.
That took it from a minor concern to oh, fuck. Callahan has to take this kid to a hospital.

Summary
Once, Gator Tillman had figured himself a big man in a small world. A powerful man. A winner.
No longer. Now he knew better. After everything, it was hard to know anything else. The sad, pathetic truth was that Gator Tillman wasn't shit. Not a big man, not even a small one. Barely a fucking person at all.
After an accident leaves him permanently injured, Gator leaves Stark County for Chicago. On his own for the first time, jobless and in constant pain, he seeks out relief in drugs. While small-time dealer Eddie Munson's prices are fair enough, drugs are expensive, and Gator soon finds himself unable to pay. Fortunately for him, Eddie is more than willing to accept an alternative form of payment.
And maybe Gator is all too willing to offer it up.
What starts as a means to an end quickly becomes the end itself as Gator finds himself relying less and less on the drugs to take his pain away... and more on Eddie.

Post Season 5, in which Dot visits Gator, fixes a crummy prison system with Lorraine's help, and introduces Scotty to an uncle she never knew she had.
With an eventual surprise guest appearance and flashbacks and backstory peppered in, heads up for canon-typical violence/drama and domestic/child abuse.

Summary
Now that Steve’s not bathed in the otherworldly light of the Upside Down, he looks fucking awful – nothing at all like when Dustin last saw him on the shore of Lovers’ Lake – and when Dustin grabs him by the shoulders and pushes him back down against the mattress, Steve doesn't put up a fight, which honestly does not make Dustin feel any better.
Or: It’s strange how fast things started to spiral once Steve began going on dates again, looking for that one perfect girl, and Dustin joined up with the Hellfire Club.
Or: In which two idiots have a long overdue talk about their feelings (or come as close to talking about their feelings as two idiots can manage).

Summary
“Heard you trying to start your car. You can’t sit here all night, man, you’ll freeze to death,” the guy continues.
Gator kind of wishes he’d just fuck off, because freezing to death sounds like a viable option right now.
He sniffs. Smells blood, tastes it on his tongue again.
Cold’s sinking into his bones, and Gator feels old, much older than his eighteen years.
He cranks the window down.
*****
Beaten and bloody, Gator's stuck in the snow in a broken-down car.
Enter Eddie Munson.
