She was sarcastic, distant, and completely uninterested in fitting in his carefully organized world. From the moment they met, Sage left a bad impression, and Mike was convinced she was nothing but trouble. But when Hawkins starts acting strange, avoiding each other isn't an option. Forced together by secrets, late nights, and the kind of danger only their town can produce, Mike begins to realize Sage isn't as careless as she pretends to be. And Sage, in turn, sees past the boy who always wants to be right and into the one who cares too much. As the lines between survival and sacrifice blur, Sage and Mike find themselves drawn together despite every reason to stay apart. Trust doesn't come easily, and love even less so, but in a world constantly on the edge of collapse, some connections are worth the risk. Because in Hawkins, first impressions rarely tell the whole story and sometimes the person you least expect is the one who changes everything. A Mike Wheeler Fanfiction (UNDER EDITING!

Sixteen-year-old Ruby Jane Henderson is Hawkins' resident airhead, queen of clueless comments, and the sister everyone wishes they had-if only she weren't so... distractingly dumb. She's best friends with Nancy Wheeler, and somehow survives daily teen drama without completely losing her mind. But Ruby has a secret. When she was four, she disappeared into the Upside Down for hours-and came back marked by something dark. Now, strange things happen when she's emotional, objects move on their own, and she's starting to suspect the things lurking in Hawkins aren't just stories. When kids start disappearing, including Jonathan's brother Will, Ruby has to balance high school chaos, crushes, and gossip with unlocking powers she doesn't fully understand. Can the clumsiest teen in Hawkins really be the town's unexpected hero? Or will her obliviousness get everyone killed?

Indie Holland has harbored a quiet affection for Steve Harrington since childhood. Known around Hawkins High as 'King Steve' for his effortless charm and enviable locks, he's remained blissfully unaware of Indie's distant admiration. However, the mysterious disappearance of Will Byers, the younger brother of Indie's best friend, shatters the small-town calm. Initially dismissed as a simple case of a lost boy, the situation grows more alarming when Indie's sister, Barb, vanishes under similarly strange circumstances. Indie joins forces with Jonathan and Nancy to unravel the unsettling events unfolding in Hawkins. As they dig deeper, they uncover a dark and sinister reality far beyond their worst fears. Steve, too, is drawn into the chaos, his path colliding with Indie's in ways neither could have predicted. As the crisis deepens, the unlikely duo forms a bond, navigating the perils of a town on the brink of horror. *all rights go to Stranger Things - I only own Indie Holland*
