| Some stories don't begin with monsters, they begin with the quiet kind of fear that lives in the dark long before anyone sees it. | Arwen Henderson has spent years trying to outgrow the shadows of her childhood, the strange visions and cold dread she once swore were only nightmares. Returning to Hawkins should have meant a fresh start, but the town feels suspended in the same uneasy quiet she remembers watchful, waiting, wrong. She tries to blend back into normal life school, old streets, and looking after her little brother Dustin. But Hawkins refuses to stay ordinary. Something stirs in the woods, people vanish without explanation, and that familiar chill, the one she thought she'd buried begins creeping back into her bones. Then she crosses paths with Steve Harrington. He's infuriatingly confident, effortlessly charming, and everything she doesn't have time for. Yet beneath the perfect hair and cocky smile, there's something unexpectedly steady about him, something that pulls her in despite every instinct telling her to stay away. As the town's mysteries deepen, so does their reluctant connection, built on danger, stubborn loyalty, and the realization that they might need each other more than either wants to admit. But as Hawkins falls further into silence, Ari's past starts clawing its way back, reminding her that some shadows don't fade... they wait. Together, she and the Hawkins Group must face the rising darkness surrounding the town, unaware just how close it already is to finding her again.

As Voldemort's budding war general, he lives a mostly tolerable life of inflicting pain on those that seek to undermine the cause. The one thing he could do without, watching everyone he loves face the repercussions. Callan Rawe, a lovely face, a will for revenge and not much else to her name. Lurker of the shadows and political spy for the next minister of magic, she is thrust into a world she does not belong in and is reminded of that fact often. Her affliction, having been born a muggle, and there is no cure. Unless, there is. Regulus Black suddenly finds himself quite determined to find it. Enemies - Lovers - enemies - lovers 18+

She had no significance beyond her curves and a polite smile, the one she gave to all the men that looked at her far lower than eye level. She was what every girl wanted to be, graceful and eloquent, sought after by every boy at Beauxbatons. Even when she transfers to Hogwarts in her fifth year, she is an object of amusement, a beautiful plaything for her male classmates. A dirty mistress to her female acquaintances. When she finally meets a messy-haired boy, her feelings begin to shift, just enough to let him in. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
