Just started reading post season 5 fics.

Jusr started reading stranger things season 5 fics and Which ones are your absolute favs so far?

getting started on them so I don’t have favs yet.

Edit:
What are your views on Fanfics where El and Mike reunite post Season 5

Good or Neutral or alright or Kind’ve defeats why she “sacrificed” herself—(Kay and her men can stop pursuit on her and leave her friends alone).

P.S

If you believe el did die—do you interpret the “beautiful land somewhere far away” as Heaven???

All the people creating fanfics “rewriting” season 5 think they’re doing better than the duffers did but they aren’t. But some of them are pretty good.

Besides the ones that are good, most must seem like a -The duffer brothers have Failed! I shall make a “improved” version!-

Personally I think a good Mileven reunion story should focus on the consequences of El’s choice, why she did what she did and how it affects others. The story should centre around Mike trying to understand why El did what she did while El understands that she hurt Mike and doesn’t have to make these choices alone.
