She woke beneath blinding lights and the sting of ozone, trapped in a body that hurt in ways it never should have. Alone with a presence she couldn't name... and couldn't escape. They said she belonged to something bigger now. They said it worked. But all she felt was her body breaking, fighting whatever had been forced into her blood. [A STRANGER THINGS FANFICTION] Henry Creel x OC

This book is a sweeping, supernatural romantic epic that reimagines the dark origins of Henry Creel (001) through a lens of redemption, profound connection, and the transformative power of love. ​Spanning thirty-three chapters, the narrative follows the journey of Henry and 004 (Y/N), two powerful psychics forged in the cold, clinical brutality of Hawkins Lab. What begins as a tentative alliance between two broken subjects evolves into a "Forbidden Empathy"-a psychic bond so deep that it bypasses the "Soteria" dampeners and the watchful eye of Dr. Brenner (Papa).

'Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow' - Melanie Martinez 000 first met Brenner when she was 3 years old and never left his side until she was 14. She met a boy called Henry who was just like her and from then on they were inseparable. Henry Creel/ Peter Ballard/ 001 X OC A/N: (Spoilers for The First Shadow) It doesn't directly follow but has got the main storyline as best as I could while adding OC.

"You don't remember me," he says. "But you never forgot." Clara and Henry were bound long before power existed. But when something finally awakened it tore their worlds apart. One disappeared into silence. The other survived by becoming something else. - Clara was never meant to come back. And yet she does, carrying something she does not understand, something still tied to Henry and to the darkness growing around him. When they find each other again, love grows where it should not, tangled with guilt, control, and the echo of something unfinished. ~ A slow burn Henry Creel story
