My Stranger Things Epilogue Headcanons
Byler - Mike realizes he’s gay after Will moves to New York, Mike moves in with Will. Mike now writes two types of books: YA adventure novels and Will does the cover art, and children’s fantasy books where Will is still the illustrator. He releases his writing under the pen name Michael Byers. Will eventually gets his own permanent wing at the Museum of Modern Art. He releases all of his art under the name William Wheeler. Eventually they adopt a daughter and name her Ella Jane Byers-Wheeler.
Lumax - they get married after they both graduate college. Lucas ended up going back to basketball in high school and actually ended up getting scouted for college and later drafted into the NBA. Max becomes a social worker specializing with kids whose parents are or are going through a divorce or kids who are being neglected, either intentionally or not, or kids who are facing some sort abuse by a family member of any kind. They have one daughter, Katelyn(they call her Kate).
Henderhop(I’ve been converted) - Dustin becomes a NASA Scientist and is eventually stationed in a small town in Iceland where he’s surprised, but relieved, to see El happy and well, being the apprentice of an old woman who runs a bakery. Eventually they fall in love ofc. El has to stay in Iceland obv, but Dustin routinely makes trips back to visit her and after a few years of doing this El finally comes back to Hawkins for visits once it’s sure she’s safe to do so. Dustin eventually makes groundbreaking discoveries with the universe, the multiverse, and the science of wormholes and black holes and wins a Nobel peace prize for it. Dustin and El has two cats named Eddie and Benny. Eventually a girl wanders into the bakery saying she’s run away from a bad home life and Dustin and El take her in, her name is Stephanie.
Rovickie - they stay together! They move to Chicago! Vickie gets a solid nursing job in a Chicago hospital and Robin gets her own radio show which broadcasts all over the country! Everyone tunes in obviously and listens to her stories and random tangents. Every now and then she’ll dedicate a song to one of them or make an inside joke. Robin is eventually written in history books as one of the most influential early LGBTQ+ activist because of her radio show. It’s run and broadcasted by her and her team and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them!
Jopper - Hopper gets his own damn ring to give to Joyce instead of just taking Jonathan’s. They get married at a small ceremony with close friends and family and stay in Hawkins. They make trips out to New York/LA at least twice every year to see Will and Jonathan. The boys come back to Hawkins for Holidays though. Eventually when El finally reveals that she’s alive they make a yearly trip to Iceland with Jonathan and Will so they can all see her.
Jonathan - Jonathan’s consumer documentary is actually very popular. He gets offered several internships after he graduates from NYU and takes one up and moves to LA. He’s now a revered film maker known for his films that send messages about underlying societal issues. His first Oscar is displayed proudly in the Byers house next to a print of Will’s first painting that made it into a New York Museum.
Nancy - She realizes that she actually doesn’t need anyone but her friends and her family. Love just isn’t her thing and that’s okay. She bounces around cities for awhile before settling in either Washington DC, New York, or LA(I couldn’t decide). She becomes one of the most revered investigative journalists and feminist activists and icons in the journalist world. Eventually she goes on to be Editor and Chief of whatever Times she ends up in depending on the city. Eventually she finds love in another person(a man or a woman, I’m all for bi Nancy) but it’s likely someone she works with. She’s a working lady first.
Steve - Steve stays in Hawkins. He becomes the Sex Ed teacher and the baseball coach all the good stuff we love for him. He treats all his boys as his own kids and they feel like it too. He very quickly cultivates the best baseball team in Hawkins because of his intense yet encouraging coaching style. He eventually settles and finds a wife and they have a nice little family. One or two kids, not the six. He also chaperones Hellfire but he mainly just leaves their room unlocked lets them do their thing while he coaches Baseball.
Erica - Continued her pursuit of science before realizing she’s better at politics. In college she gets a PHD in Scientology and a Masters in Political Science and Criminal Justice. She works her way up in the ranks of government Leslie Knope style before eventually becoming the first female President of the United States in 2016.
Holly - Holly restarts Hellfire! Her and her friends take turns being the DM but most of the time it’s Holly. More people join but not a super amount, D&D is still frowned upon in this time period, but Hellfire lives with Holly! Steve, as mentioned before is the adult chaperone but he just lets them do their thing and tells Holly to get him the keys when they’re done.
Karen - Divorces Ted and takes half of his stuff. She gets custody of the kids too. And the house. She gets a white Persian cat and names it Fernando.
