She tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, staring into my ocean blue colored eyes. She always liked the color of them. Her voice was barely above a whisper as I watched the smoke flow out of her pretty pink lips. "you're perfect." she whispered softly as she held my chin between her skinny fingers, her cheek and nose were red from the cold as well as her hands but I didn't mind at all.

With a new haircut, a new style, and two amazing gay "big sisters" in Robin and Nancy, she's finally ready to be herself. There's just one problem: she's hopelessly falling for El.

Before we start!! Just wanted to say real quick that I've actually had this story sitting in my drafts for about a year now, so that's why I'm able to upload parts pretty fast. Also,comments are very much appreciated, I love reading them <3 This is a Stranger Things fanfic centered around Jane (Eleven) and Maxine. The story takes place in 1989, and the party members are around 16-17 years old at the start. This fic is mostly fluff, with a little bit of angst here and there -nothing super heavy. There will be spice and some smut later on, so just a heads up The story starts in late summer break, before school begins. School will be part of the story eventually, just not right away. This is a full AU: -Jane has no powers -The bad men don't exist -The Upside Down doesn't exist So basically... Hawkins is just Hawkins The Jane x Max relationship is a slow burn that turns into something really sweet, healthy, and affectionate. And yes ,this story has a happy ending, so don't stress about that Quick note: I changed the ages a bit, so if I accidentally say "junior year" anywhere, just know I mean senior year. And yes, I know some of the characters might not act exactly like they do in the show - this is a fanfic and very much my AU, so please don't take it too seriously. Also some of the songs I use in this fanfic are songs that don't come out till like a few years later than the current year so don't mind that. Okay, I think that's it. Let's get into the story

Hawkins is a semi abandoned town in Indiana. Recently, scientists have found out about a new blood type. Type 0X. Having this type of blood time allows someone to have 1-3 supernatural abilities. Eleven grew up in a lab where they run tests on people with this blood type. Max Mayfield is the leader of gang of people with this blood type. One day, they meet. What happens next?

" SHE'S A RUNAWAY. SHE'S OUT THERE, WALKING ALONE IN THE LONELY NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE SOMETHING'S AFTER HER. " - what if this was gender switched, but with a different story? what if max was the one to find eleven walking alone in her neighborhood? what if she thought the strange girl was abused? a runaway? what happens if she fell in love with her? max mayfield x eleven (jane hopper) ELMAX netflix's STRANGER THINGS
