Thalia Munson was adopted when she was ten years old. Her memories before that are non-existent and the memories she's made since have been of someone else - a new person that she created in order to exist. She couldn't remember her name, a face or a place, but she knew one word. One that she had repeated for weeks. Two. A number. Fitting in is easy. It's being yourself while trying to fit in that is hard. Thalia has never attempted to be a popular girl nor to fall for the popular guys, but when her best friend, Nancy Wheeler, starts dating the King of Hawkins High, things are bound to, and will, change. Evil is rising in Hawkins and Thalia is unknowingly one of the largest parts of it. Not knowing anything about who you are used to be is safe. Because if you don't know, then how can anyone else? Secrets can't stay hidden forever and soon 'yourself' will find it's way to the surface. What happens then? Steve Harrington x OC Stranger Things (Season 1 - 4) BOOK 1

"The way he looks at her. Like she's the most important thing in the world to him." "I think she is." Experiment X - that's was she was known as. A dangerous weapon that belonged to a lab in the Soviet Union. An assassin. A spy. A seventeen year old girl who wanted nothing more than to live a normal life. She thinks she finally gets that opportunity when she manages to flee the lab and escape to America - Hawkins, Indiana to be exact. A town with a secret too close to home. And she managed to live under everyone's noses until one night. A night with demodogs and fighting and flames and... Steve Harrington. The only person that could get past the barriers she held up around herself. She needed Steve more than anyone. And he needed her. ~season 2-4 are written and published, season 5 chapter are being released one by one~

She didn't know any better. Years of being raised by the evil entity that was once Henry Creel skewed her view of the world she once lived in. When Y/N is sent by him from the Upside Down to infiltrate those that so tediously continue to thwart his plans, she ends up finding something with someone that she never could have expected. Will she betray the one who raised her, who helped her escape that horrific lab? Or will she help him burn it all to the ground? One thing was for sure. There was only one thing that might change her mind... She just doesn't doesn't even know he exists... Yet. ( Set from the beginning of S4 once flashbacks cease but reader has been part of prior Vecna plans. Reader is over 18/older than El to fit with Steve without it being weird and has powers; is 002 in this story so assume the bullies in the show were 003 upwards. Long-ish intro with flashbacks to try and make it make sense lmfao but only a few chapters. Please read TW's before reading and let me know if there's anything I missed. TW: Violence, brainwashing, death, both mental and physical abuse, manipulation, smut in later chapters, fem!Reader, angst )

Y/n Hopper, daughter of Chief Jim Hopper, tries to work her life out after the disaster that was StarCourt and her dads death along with her sister, Eleven, moving with the Byers to Lenora. Y/n probably would have lost her mind even more if it wasn't for her two best friends, Robin Buckley and Steve Harrington - also those not so little teenagers she has become so fond of. And also surprisingly a certain metal-head boy. Y/n thought her life had gone back to as much normal as it could go back to but that was where Y/n was ever so wrong. Her life had just become possibly even more difficult. [Stranger Things] [Season 4] [steve harrington x reader] [Started: 6/2/22] [Ended:??/??/??/]
