Valerie Henderson has always known two things: Monsters aren't real, and Steve Harrington is insufferable. As Dustin's older sister and Nancy Wheeler's closest friend, Valerie has spent years watching Hawkins from the sidelines, sharp-eyed, unimpressed, and dressed in black like she's permanently attending someone else's funeral. She doesn't trust easily. She doesn't fall softly. And she definitely doesn't fall for boys with perfect hair and worse reputations. But when Will Byers disappears and Hawkins begins to crack open, monsters stop being a metaphor, and surviving them means working alongside the one person she swore she'd never stand. Across five seasons of secrets, near-death experiences, late-night arguments, and tension thick enough to rival the Upside Down, hatred slowly turns into something far more dangerous. After all, some things burn fast. And some things burn slow.

Everyone knew Becca Hopper wanted out of Hawkins. Her social life consisted of a middle schooler she babysat, his friends she occasionally drove around, and that was it. She was simply the chief's daughter no one had ever truly gotten the chance to know. But with gates into other worlds opening and Dustin Henderson dragging her into trouble, she has no choice but to get to know the people she'd spent so long ignoring. And catching Steve Harrington's attention? That didn't matter to her in the slightest. Really. Stranger Things Fanfic Steve Harrington X OC COMPLETED UNTIL SEASON 5

Lisa Henderson didn't like Steve Harrington. Not at all. They were best friends as kids and now they didn't talk, and Lisa was content in forgetting about his existence which was easy since they didn't have the same friends. That was until he started dating her best friend, Nancy Wheeler. Trying to adapt to his unwelcome return into her life, as well as trying to stay out of whatever her brother Dustin and his friends were secretly up to was no easy feat, especially when literal monsters were thrown into the mix. Lisa Henderson didn't like Steve Harrington, but she also couldn't seem to get rid of him. And maybe, just maybe, she didn't actually mind that much. --- The characters and the overall storyline/setting belong to the Duffer brothers. Lisa Henderson and any new plotlines are my creation.
