The air between them was heavy, charged. 000 tensed as 001 reached for her, his fingers ghosting over her cheek before settling on her jaw, firm and certain. "You keep running from this," he murmured. "I don't know what 'this' is." Her voice was steady, but inside, everything twisted. Nothing was as it should be. Especially as short flashes of his intense gaze flooded her mind, behind her unseeing eyes. His grip tightened just slightly. "Then let me show you." She should have pulled away. She knew that. And yet, she let him hold onto her, an electric feeling growing throughout her body and exciting her every nerve. 000 shook. "We're not supposed to - " He inched closer, his breath warm against her cheek. "I don't care." 000 swallowed hard. "I do." 001 brushed his thumb over her bottom lip, slow and deliberate, a smirk on his face that 000 could hear in his voice. "Liar." ◇◇◇◇ Deep within Hawkins Lab, 000 has known nothing but cold experiments and isolation - until 001. He's dangerous, relentless, and the only person who makes her feel something she can't understand. As the lines between control and freedom blur, their connection threatens to consume them both. ◇◇◇◇ 『 henry creel/001 x female!oc 』 『 alternate universe/follows major events of henry's story, but not entirely 』 『 long chapters 』

Hidden behind locked doors and iron rules, Henry Creel has spent his life inside Hawkins Lab - not by choice, but by design. Once the first child molded by Dr. Brenner's experiments, he grew into a silent protector for the generations of gifted children who came after him, bearing the weight of a life he never chose. He thought he understood the world: pain, obedience, isolation. Until Marlena Brenner, the daughter of the man who made him, returned to the lab - and changed everything. Where others saw a weapon, Marlena saw a man. She offered him kindness with no demands, love with no conditions. Slowly, Henry began to believe he could be something more than what the lab made him. Their stolen kisses, lingering touches, and tentative confessions grew into something fierce and real. But freedom always has a price. When a tragedy rips through the lab, taking Marlena's father and nearly Marlena herself, Henry is faced with the unimaginable terror of losing the only light in his dark world. As Marlena fights her way back from the brink, she refuses to rebuild what was broken. Instead, she dreams bigger: creating a place where gifted children can live without fear - a real home, filled with laughter, learning, and choice. A future Henry never dared to imagine. Now, surrounded by the children they vow to protect, Henry and Marlena must navigate first love, aching grief, and a healing neither of them thought possible. Together, they will build not just a sanctuary - but a family. A story of survival, redemption, and an extraordinary love born in the most unlikely of places, Brenners daughter is a heart-wrenching, breathtaking journey toward freedom, hope, and the simple, saving power of being seen.

"You're dreaming, I should think," His breath caressed my skin. It was there and then gone, far too fleeting. "So why am I here, Sixteen?" I didn't have an answer. "I don't know," I muttered. My heart thumped noisily in my chest. I could not think. "Can you make it stop?" His eyes flitted over mine. I could feel him like an infection. Crawling through my veins, warming my blood, shutting down my organs one by one until I was helpless, left with no other option aside from watching as he overtook me. "Do you want me to make it stop?" He gently tilted my head up. I was soundless as this all unfolded, unable to fight it, unsure if I even wanted to. ~ After Sixteen is abducted and taken to Hawkins Lab, she must adjust to life under the oppressive glare of Martin Brenner. Peter Ballard, an orderly who oversees her training, aims to the transition all the more difficult.

~ SEQUEL TO *NONCONFORMITY* ~ "You know, sometimes I start to like you and then you open your mouth and I'm reminded why I don't," I turned away from him and smiled into my pillow. I wanted to sit here with him in the dark until my eyes couldn't stand the light anymore. We could be nocturnal, wake with the moon and live our lives wrapped in bed sheets. "You say the loveliest things," He whispered in my ear. He gathered me in his arms, warm as could be and horrifically inviting. I melted against him until everything ran slow and saccharine. Lips pressed against my temple, and then I felt the weight of his head as it dipped onto my pillow. "Peter?" "Yes, sweetheart?" "Why can't I shake the feeling something bad is going to happen?" ~ After being taken from her home, Sixteen needs to fight not to lose her mind after returning to the arms of Martin Brenner. Hallucinations and nightmarish visions seem to follow her everywhere she goes, as does a man she thought she'd killed five years before.

(001 fic) "My little secret," he whispers. "Try your hardest to stay quiet for me. I don't want your daddy hearing just how much I'm tainting his little angel, got it?" Then his hands and lips are everywhere and I have to bite down on my tongue to keep from screaming out loud, lest my father hears and I ruin our little secret." Juliette is the daughter of Dr. Martin Brenner, better known as "Papa." She knows her father loves his other "children" more than his own biological one, which is why she's so excited to move out to her dream college. But then an incident occurs revealing that Juliette is not just the average girl she thought she was. Juliette finds herself right in the middle of her fathers lab, alone with a newfound power, and assigned to train with Peter Ballard, a man she hates, a man who might be hiding something dark underneath those bright blue eyes and sweet smile.
