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. Title inspired by the song 'Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)' by Journey --- Originally started in January 2023, but reposting with edits in August 2025!
